Visual quality control for arterial spin labeling
This study introduces a visual scoring system that provides a quality control standard for arterial spin labeling (ASL) and that can be applied to both cerebral blood flow maps and ancillary ASL images. The system provided high reproducibility and a reliable threshold... US and CEUS for assessing ovarian protection in a murine model
US and CEUS were used to identify and characterise ovarian glands in murine models as a preliminary study for exploring the protective role of gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue (GnRH-a) on chemotherapy-induced ovarian damage. Article: Contrast-enhanced... Celebrating IDOR 2019 with a special selection of articles from European Radiology Experimental
Diffusion tensor imaging in the musculoskeletal and peripheral nerve systems: from experimental to clinical applications Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in the musculoskeletal and peripheral nerve systems has so far mostly been used in experimental settings. This... Changes in total choline concentration in the breast of healthy fertile young women in relation to menstrual cycle or use of oral contraceptives
The goal of this study was to evaluate changes in total choline absolute concentration in the breast of healthy fertile women in relation to menstrual cycle (MC) or use of oral contraceptives (OC). Article: Changes in total choline concentration in the breast of... Big data, artificial intelligence, and structured reporting
Applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning in radiology require large amounts of training data. However, finding relevant information is difficult. This review gives a brief overview on how structured reporting can help facilitate research in... Can we base the contrast dose for abdominal CT on the lean body weight?
The authors report on using the lean body weight for determining the contrast agent dose for abdominal CT, as opposed to using the standard total body weight. Article: Abdominal CT: a radiologist-driven adjustment of the dose of iodinated contrast agent approaches a... Gadolinium-based contrast agents at 7 T: any impact of on human lymphocytes
The authors investigated the potentially toxic effect of different gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) in combination with 7-T MRI. By isolating and exposing lymphocytes analogously to iodinated contrast agents in combination with computed tomography, they found... Abdominal CT: a BMI-based estimate of radiation dose
This study aimed to evaluate whether BMI can be used as a size-related metrics alternative to the midslice effective diameter (DE) for obtaining a size-specific dose in abdominal CT. Article: Using body mass index to estimate individualised patient radiation...
