Conversion of single-energy computed tomography to parametric maps of dual-energy computed tomography using convolutional neural network
CONCLUSIONS: SECT images were directly converted to the three parametric maps of DECT (ie, VMIs, EAN, and RED). By using this model, one can generate the parametric information from SECT images without DECT device. Our model can help investigate the parametric information from SECT retrospectively.ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Deep learning framework enables converting SECT to various high-quality parametric maps of DECT.PMID:38597871 | DOI:10.1093/bjr/tqae076 (Source: The British Journal of Radiology)

MRI classification of uterosacral ligament involvement in endometriosis: the H ôtel-Dieu (HTD) classification
CONCLUSIONS: In women with endometriosis symptoms, our MRI classification identified two USL categories, corresponding to two kinds of PPV; in these symptomatic patients, a normal MRI does not rule out a DIE diagnosis.ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Our MRI classification of USL involvement in endometriosis may be used as a noninvasive staging of the disease, much clearer for clinicians and patients. Hence, we are able to propose a suitable diagnostic and therapeutic procedure for each radiological type.PMID:38579251 | DOI:10.1093/bjr/tqae072 (Source: The British Journal of Radiology)

How to use MRI in cardiac disease with diastolic dysfunction?
Br J Radiol. 2024 Apr 4:tqae071. doi: 10.1093/bjr/tqae071. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLeft ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (DD) is an initially asymptomatic condition that can progress to heart failure, either with preserved or reduced ejection fraction. As such, DD is a growing public health problem. Impaired relaxation, the first stage of DD, is associated with altered LV filling. With progression, reducing LV compliance leads to restrictive cardiomyopathy. While cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is the reference for LV systolic function assessment, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) with Doppler flow ...
