Letter to the Editor: “Assessment of primary liver carcinomas other than hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with LI-RADS v2018: comparison of the LI-RADS target population to patients without LI-RADS-defined HCC risk factors”
Dear Editor, We have read with great interest the article entitled “Assessment of primary liver carcinomas other than hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with LI-RADS v2018: comparison of the LI-RADS target population to patients without LI-RADS-defined HCC risk factors”...Reply to the Letter to the Editor: “Ultrasound malignancy risk stratification of thyroid nodules based on the degree of hypoechogenicity and echotexture”
Dear Editor, We would like to thank Dr. Rueda et al. for their interest in our recent study. Our study validated the feasibility of using adjusted definitions for echogenicity and mixed echogenicity which are differently used in various risk stratification systems. We...Letter to the Editor: “Ultrasound malignancy risk stratification of thyroid nodules based on the degree of hypoechogenicity and echotexture”
Dear Editor, We have read with great interest the article entitled “Ultrasound malignancy risk stratification of thyroid nodules based on the degree of hypoechogenicity and echotexture” by Lee et al [1]. In this study, it is suggested that the lexicon of...Letter to the Editor: “Pre-procedural CT angiography inferior vena cava measurements: a predictor of mortality in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation”
To the Editor, Eberhard et al. conducted a prospective study to assess predictors of ≤ 1-year mortality in 205 patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) [1]. By Cox regression analyses, hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) of supra-hepatic...Letter to the Editor: “Comparison of TIPS alone and combined with partial splenic embolization (PSE) for the management of variceal bleeding”
Dear Editor, Wan et al. recently compared transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) with TIPS plus concomitant partial splenic embolization (PSE) on the long-term shunt patency and overall survival of TIPS-treated patients in European Radiology [1]. We...
Reply to the Letter to the Editor: “CT compared to MRI for functional evaluation of the right ventricle: a systematic review and meta-analysis”
We thank Prof Jawdat Abdulla very much for his interest in our research [1] and for his kind opinions. We hope we have resolved the issue he was concerned about. We extracted the mean difference (MD) and limit of agreement (LoA) of each right ventricular function...Letter to the Editor “CT compared to MRI for functional evaluation of the right ventricle: a systematic review and meta-analysis”
Dear Editor, We have read with interest the paper by Fu et al, who have conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis of the published studies on computed tomography (CT) compared to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for functional evaluation of right ventricle [1]. Nineteen...
