Small cell lung cancer: what role does 18F-FDG PET/CT play?
Fifty-five patients were included in this study, which assesses 18F-FDG PET/CT in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) staging and metabolic (SUVmax, MTV and TLG) and morphologic (CTvol) variables as predictors for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS)....Reply to: Stent-Retriever Thrombectomy for Acute Anterior Ischemic Stroke with Tandem Occlusion: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Dear Editor, I read with interest the comment of the reader on my study: “I was well aware of this large series including 170 patients, reason why it was included in the discussion section (page 4). There was no mistake in the number of patients (Similar results...Stent-Retriever Thrombectomy for Acute Anterior Ischemic Stroke with Tandem Occlusion: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Dear Editor, with interest we read the manuscript “Stent-Retriever Thrombectomy for Acute Anterior Ischemic Stroke with Tandem Occlusion: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis” by Sivan-Hoffmann et. al, published in European Radiology. Therein, our Study...
Microanatomy of the subcallosal artery
This article examines in-vivo microanatomy of the subcallosal artery branching from the anterior communicating artery (ACoA) using time-of-flight (TOF) magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) at 7 Tesla, proving that high-resolution in-vivo 7 T TOF MRA can precisely show...
Reply to: Are all questions about the safety of MRI contrast agent answered?
Dear Editor, We thank Dr. Goischke for his interest in our article about neuronal gadolinium deposition after intravenous application of macrocyclic gadolinium-based contrast agents detected by magnetic resonance imaging in a 5-year longitudinal survey (1, 2) and his...Are all questions about the safety of MRI contrast agent answered?
Dear Editor, Deposition of Gadolinium (Gd) in various organs and tissues from contrast MRIs has been consistently reported in animals and in humans. Although this is associated with all agents, the extent is much less with the macrocyclic Gd based-contrast agent (mGBCA). The conclusions from the study of Kromrey et al. [1] described in the key points are undifferentiated and one-sided – the complexity of Gd deposits is not observed.
Joint ESUR & ESGAR recommendationsfor reporting of pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD)
These expert consensus recommendations can be used as guidance for reporting of pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) and include information on indications, patient preparation, sequences acquisition, and interpretation and reporting of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Key...Reply to: Small intestinal bowel gas and breath hydrogen after ingestion of lactulose
Dear Editor, We thank Dr. Uno for his interesting comment on our work. We also hypothesized that a longer examination time may yield very interesting results, as he correctly pointed out. However, there is the issue of keeping a patient stuck in a MR system for five...
