Diagnostic approach with Z-score mapping to reduce artifacts caused by cerebral atrophy in regional CBF assessment of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease by [99mTc]-ECD and SPECT
ConclusionThe proposed approach provided more preciseZ-scores with less over- or underestimation, artifacts, and improved diagnostic accuracy, being recommended for clinical studies. (Source: Japanese Journal of Radiology)

Combined visual and quantitative assessment of somatostatin receptor scintigraphy for staging and restaging of neuroendocrine tumors
ConclusionWe adapted the SUV to SRS and established the range of SUV for physiological uptake in the liver, kidney, and spleen. Combined visual and quantitative assessment is useful for imaging individual lesions in greater detail, and may serve as a new tumor marker of SRS for staging and restaging of NETs.

Clinical value of [18F]AlF-NOTA-FAPI-04 PET/CT for assessing early-stage liver fibrosis in adult liver transplantation recipients compared with chronic HBV patients
Conclusion[18F]AlF-NOTA-FAPI-04 PET/CT could be applied to evaluate early-stage liver fibrosis in LT recipients and CHB patients properly, with the potential additional advantages in monitoring and predicting complications after LT. (Source: Japanese Journal of Radiology)

Multimodality imaging in cerebral venous thrombosis: a synopsis for emergency radiologist
AbstractCerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is an uncommon but potentially fatal condition which presents with a wide range of symptoms. Some of these presenting features are vague thus contributing to the delay in diagnosis. A prompt diagnosis and initiation of appropriate therapy are therefore of paramount importance. In this pictorial, we have tried to illustrate the direct and indirect imaging features of CVT in detail on multiple imaging modalities, along with the potential pitfalls of imaging.

Growth speed of large brain metastases between diagnostic and radiosurgical planning MRI and predictors of rapid tumor growth
ConclusionLarge brain metastases can grow considerably between the time of diagnosis and the time of fSRS treatment planning. We recommend the time between dMRI and fSRS treatment initiation be as short as possible. (Source: Japanese Journal of Radiology)

Imaging evaluation and volumetric measurement of the space surrounding the diploic veins
ConclusionThe volume of the space surrounding the diploic veins was measurable and, in contrast to the volume of the PSD, was greater in younger participants. This space may be related to intracranial excretory mechanisms and immune responses during youth, requiring further research. (Source: Japanese Journal of Radiology)

To identify important MRI features to differentiate hepatic mucinous cystic neoplasms from septated hepatic cysts based on random forest
ConclusionFour out of 18 MRI features were extracted as reliably important factors to differ hepatic MCNs from septated HC. The combination of these four features in a RF model could achieve satisfactory diagnostic efficacy. (Source: Japanese Journal of Radiology)

Endometriosis, a common but enigmatic disease with many faces: current concept of pathophysiology, and diagnostic strategy
AbstractEndometriosis is a benign, common, but controversial disease due to its enigmatic etiopathogenesis and biological behavior. Recent studies suggest multiple genetic, and environmental factors may affect its onset and development. Genomic analysis revealed the presence of cancer-associated gene mutations, which may reflect the neoplastic aspect of endometriosis. The management has changed dramatically with the development of fertility-preserving, minimally invasive therapies. Diagnostic strategies based on these recent basic and clinical findings are reviewed. With a focus on the presentation of clinical cases, we di...
