Clinical role of abbreviated and ultrafast mri in breast imaging
Br J Radiol. 2024 Apr 27:tqae079. doi: 10.1093/bjr/tqae079. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCurrent breast cancer screening relies on mammography, digital breast tomosynthesis and breast ultrasound. In select populations, breast MRI is also of great utility. However, multiple factors limit widespread use of breast MRI for screening. Efforts have been made to increase the availability of breast MRI for screening, in large part due to the increased cancer detection rate of breast MRI compared to mammography. Techniques include shortening standard breast MRI protocols with the potential for accommodating MRI screening in a high...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Cardiac Involvement in COVID-19
Br J Radiol. 2024 Apr 24:tqae086. doi: 10.1093/bjr/tqae086. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has led to a diverse pattern of myocardial injuries, including myocarditis, which is linked to adverse outcomes in patients. Research indicates that myocardial injury is associated with higher mortality in hospitalized severe COVID-19 patients (75.8% versus 9.7%). Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) has emerged as a crucial tool in diagnosing both ischemic and non-ischemic myocardial injuries, providing detailed insights into the impact of COVID-19 on myocardial tissue and fun...

Feasibility of a portable respiratory training system with a gyroscope sensor
CONCLUSIONS: Respiratory waveforms acquired by the GRTS exhibit good agreement with waveforms acquired by the RGSC. Respiratory training with the GRTS reduces inter-patient variability in respiratory waveforms, thereby improving the success of expiratory breath-hold liver stereotactic body radiation therapy.ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: A respiratory training system with a gyroscope sensor is inexpensive and portabl, making it ideal for respiratory training. This is the first report concerning clinical implementation of a respiratory training system.PMID:38648776 | DOI:10.1093/bjr/tqae085 (Source: The British Journal of Radiology)

Minimum library size determination for RapidPlan knowledge based planning system using multicriteria optimization
CONCLUSION: Dosimetric variation among various output plans generated from five RapidPlan libraries is minimal and clinically insignificant. The optimal output plan can be derived from the least weighted library consisting of 20 plans.ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: This article shows that, when the constituent plans are subjected to trade-off exploration, the number of constituent plans for a knowledge-based planning module is not relevant in terms of its dosimetric output.PMID:38637944 | DOI:10.1093/bjr/tqae084 (Source: The British Journal of Radiology)

Association between repeat imaging and readmission in patients with acute ischemic stroke: a 16-year nationwide population-based study
CONCLUSIONS: Repeat brain imaging of patients with stroke has increased in recent years, and it is associated with certain factors including age, length of stay, use of rt-PA, hospital level of care, and NIHSS score. It is also associated with increased readmission.ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Knowledge of the associations of repeat imaging may help clinicians use repeat imaging more carefully and efficaciously.PMID:38640490 | DOI:10.1093/bjr/tqae082 (Source: The British Journal of Radiology)

Accuracy of Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Ultrasound Fusion-Guided and Systematic Biopsy of the Prostate
CONCLUSIONS: In the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer, the combination of systematic and targeted biopsies proves most effective. Targeted biopsies rarely missed significant cancer for posterior PI-RADS 5 lesions, suggesting systematic biopsies could be reserved for instances where targeted biopsy results are negative.ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: This study emphasizes on the efficacy of mpMRI and targeted biopsies in suspected prostate cancer in real-world clinical context. For PI-RADS 5 lesions, systematic biopsies provide limited clinical benefit and may only be necessary when targeted biopsy results are nega...
