Value of diffusion-weighted imaging for monitoring tissue change during magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound therapy in bone applications: an ex-vivo study
This study aimed to investigate the value of DWI for monitoring soft tissue changes adjacent to bone during MR-guided HIFU. Using Sonalleve MR-guided HIFU system to perform ex-vivo experiments, the authors assessed the repeatability of the ADC measurement, the... The role of standard non-ECG gated chest CT in cardiac assessment: design and rationale of the Cardiac Pathologies in standard chest CT (CaPaCT) study
The purpose of this observer blinded, single-centre study is to assess the visibility, management, and possible clinical impact of incidental cardiac pathologies that are now becoming visible on standard chest CTs. The data collected by two experienced, blinded... Optical imaging of the breast: evaluation of deoxyhemoglobin concentration alteration in 166 patients with suspicious breast lesions
This study investigates the performance of optical imaging evaluating deoxyhemoglobin concentration alteration (DeHCA) in breast tissues. The authors concluded that that DeHCA score was significantly higher in malignant than in benign lesions, but its accuracy was... 3-T MRI implant safety: heat induction with new dual-channel radiofrequency transmission technology
This study aimed to investigate whether different transmission settings of the dual-transmit technology may influence the amount of heat induction around an implant material dependent on its location within the magnetic field. The study results indicated that...
European Radiology Experimental now on PubMed
The ESR is delighted to inform you that European Radiology Experimental is now fully indexed on PubMed Central and can be viewed here! Myocardial tissue characterization by combining late gadolinium enhancement imaging and percent edema mapping
Assessing the extent of ischemic and reperfusion-associated myocardial injuries remains challenging with current magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a tissue characterization mapping (TCM) technique by combining... Photoacoustic imaging of tumour vascular permeability with indocyanine green in a mouse model
This study analyses the haemodynamics of indocyanine green (ICG) in mouse organs and tumours and evaluated responses to anti-angiogenic agents in an allograft tumour mouse model by photoacoustic imaging. The study results indicate that photoacoustic imaging with ICG... Use of the Hourglass peripheral embolisation device
This article evaluates a novel intravascular plug, the Hourglass peripheral embolisation device (PED). The use of this device is described, and its potential applications are discussed. In this study, the indications, success rate, and the procedure-related...
