RESUMO

BACKGROUND: To explore whole-liver histogram analysis (HA) with blood oxygen level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-fMRI) in evaluating and diagnosing hepatic fibrosis (HF) in a CCl4-induced rabbit model. METHODS: One hundred rabbits were classified as CCl4-induced HF groups (n=80) and control group (n=20), and were scheduled for BOLD-fMRI examination on a 3.0T scanner. Whole-liver HA metrics, including the mean, median, skewness, kurtosis, inhomogeneity, entropy, and nth percentiles, were extracted from the R2* map. Parameters were compared among the different HF stages using receivers operating characteristic analysis and Mann-Whitney U-test. RESULTS: In all, 17, 18, 19, 17, and 15 rabbits were pathologically diagnosed as F0, F1, F2, F3, and F4, respectively. HA parameters, including the median, inhomogeneity, entropy, and the 75th and 90th percentiles of the BOLD R2* map, demonstrated significant positive correlations with the fibrosis stage (r=0.226-0.718, P≤0.039). The 75th percentiles demonstrated higher diagnostic efficacy than the other HA parameters in fibrosis staging, with an AUC value of 0.86 for ≥ F1, 0.87 for ≥ F2, 0.87 for ≥ F3, and 0.86 for ≥ F4. CONCLUSIONS: BOLD-fMRI HA provides increased diagnostic performance in staging HF, especially for the 75th percentiles.

RESUMO

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To investigate the value of gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in diagnosing residual hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty-two patients (50 men, 12 women; mean age, 56.8 ± 1.4 years) with 74 HCCs who underwent Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI and DWI in 1-2-month intervals after DEB-TACE were retrospectively studied. Imaging features derived from Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI and DWI were analyzed and compared between residual HCCs and necrotic tumors. The sensitivity and specificity of Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI and DWI with quantitative apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in diagnosing residual HCCs were calculated and compared, based on the reference standard of pathology and/or angiography. RESULTS: Thirty-three residual HCCs and 41 necrotic tumors were diagnosed. Residual HCCs presented characteristics of arterial hypervascularity (90.91%) and DWI hyperintensity (78.78%), which were of importance in differentiating necrotic tumors (p< 0.05). DWI showed lower sensitivity (78.79% vs. 96.97%, p< 0.001) and specificity (78.05% vs. 100%, p< 0.001) than Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI in diagnosing residual HCCs after DEB-TACE. Residual HCCs had a significantly higher mean ADC value than necrotic tumors (1.30 ± 0.32 × 10-3 mm2/s vs. 1.55 ± 0.50 × 10-3 mm2/s, p< 0.001). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis for identifying residual HCCs demonstrated that the threshold ADC value of 1.25 × 10-3 mm2/s had 84.85% sensitivity and 87.80% specificity. CONCLUSION: Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI is superior to DWI in diagnosing residual HCCs after DEB-TACE, and arterial hypervascularity and DWI hyperintensity are important imaging features in distinguishing residual HCCs from necrotic tumors.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The diagnostic efficacy of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CEMRI) in diagnosing residual or recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is currently not completely clear. PURPOSE: To investigate the diagnostic efficacy of CEMRI in detecting residual or recurrent HCCs after TACE by meta-analysis. STUDY TYPE: Systematic review and meta-analysis. POPULATION: A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Ovid, and the Cochrane Library database up to June 2019 to find original studies on diagnosing patients suspected of residual or recurrent HCCs after TACE with CEMRI. Thirteen studies comprising 721 nodules were finally included. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: 1.5T or 3.0T, CEMRI. ASSESSMENT: Quality assessment of the included studies was performed by applying the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 (QUADAS-2) tool. STATISTICAL TESTS: Sensitivity and specificity were pooled with a bivariate random-effects model. Heterogeneity was assessed by the chi-square test. The potential sources of heterogeneity were explored by subgroup and publication bias analyses. RESULTS: The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, diagnostic odds ratio, and area under the summary receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of CEMRI in diagnosing residual or recurrent HCCs after TACE were 91% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 87%-96%), 93% (95% CI: 85%-97%), 12.22 (95% CI: 5.62-26.57), 0.09 (95% CI: 0.05-0.18), 126.99 (95% CI: 34.76-436.99) and 0.97 (95% CI: 0.95-0.98), respectively. Subgroup analysis revealed that CEMRI performed significantly better in prospective studies than in retrospective studies: 0.99 (95% CI: 0.96-1.00) vs. 0.95 (95% CI: 0.92-0.96) with P < 0.05. DATA CONCLUSION: Our meta-analysis suggested that CEMRI had high diagnostic efficacy in detecting residual or recurrent HCCs after TACE and may serve as an alternative method for further evaluation after TACE. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 5 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2020;52:1019-1028.

RESUMO

 Uterine arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an extremely rare condition characterized by abnormal connections between veins and arteries. The atypical clinical manifestations and relatively low morbidity of AVM are conducive to missed diagnosis. The present study describes a case of a 47-year-old female patient with congenital uterine AVM followed by iatrogenic AVM. The diagnosis was established by contrast-enhanced ultrasound combined with contrast-enhanced CT (CECT). Because the symptom of vaginal bleeding was severe, trophoblastic disease or neoplasia could be preferred. The manifestations on various imaging examinations were carefully assessed, and the relevant literature was also reviewed.
