Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) for cardiac computed tomography (CT) have shown great potential in enhancing diagnosis and prognosis prediction in patients with cardiovascular disease. Deep learning, a type of machine learning, has revolutionized radiology by enabling automatic feature extraction and learning from large datasets, particularly in image-based applications. Thus, AI-driven techniques have enabled a faster analysis of cardiac CT examinations than when they are analyzed by humans, while maintaining reproducibility. However, further research and validation are required to fully assess the diagnostic performance, radiation dose-reduction capabilities, and clinical correctness of these AI-driven techniques in cardiac CT. This review article presents recent advances of AI in the field of cardiac CT, including deep-learning-based image reconstruction, coronary artery motion correction, automatic calcium scoring, automatic epicardial fat measurement, coronary artery stenosis diagnosis, fractional flow reserve prediction, and prognosis prediction, analyzes current limitations of these techniques and discusses future challenges.

This review outlines the current status and challenges of the clinical applications of artificial intelligence in liver imaging using computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging based on a topic analysis of PubMed search results using latent Dirichlet allocation. LDA revealed that “segmentation,” “hepatocellular carcinoma and radiomics,” “metastasis,” "fibrosis," and "reconstruction" were current main topic keywords. Automatic liver segmentation technology using deep learning is beginning to assume new clinical significance as part of whole-body composition analysis. It has also been applied to the screening of large populations and the acquisition of training data for machine learning models and has resulted in the development of imaging biomarkers that have a significant impact on important clinical issues, such as the estimation of liver fibrosis, recurrence, and prognosis of malignant tumors. Deep learning reconstruction is expanding as a new technological clinical application of artificial intelligence and has shown results in reducing contrast and radiation doses. However, there is much missing evidence, such as external validation of machine learning models and the evaluation of the diagnostic performance of specific diseases using deep learning reconstruction, suggesting that the clinical application of these technologies is still in development.

The concept of the glymphatic system was proposed more than a decade ago as a mechanism for interstitial fluid flow and waste removal in the central nervous system. The function of the glymphatic system has been shown to be particularly activated during sleep. Dysfunction of the glymphatic system has been implicated in several neurodegenerative diseases. Noninvasive in vivo imaging of the glymphatic system is expected to be useful in elucidating the pathophysiology of these diseases. Currently, magnetic resonance imaging is the most commonly used technique to evaluate the glymphatic system in humans, and a large number of studies have been reported. This review provides a comprehensive overview of investigations of the human glymphatic system function using magnetic resonance imaging. The studies can be divided into 3 categories, including imaging without gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs), imaging with intrathecal administration of GBCAs, and imaging with intravenous administration of GBCAs. The purpose of these studies has been to examine not only the interstitial fluid movement in the brain parenchyma, but also the fluid dynamics in the perivascular and subarachnoid spaces, as well as the parasagittal dura and meningeal lymphatics. Recent research has even extended to include the glymphatic system of the eye and the inner ear. This review serves as an important update and a useful guide for future research directions.

Purpose: Peripheral retinal leakage (PRL) of contrast medium from the ora serrata (i.e., the peripheral part of the retina) was recently reported in normal eyes using ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography. We occasionally see PRL of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) in the vitreous from the temporal and inferior sides of the ora serrata on MR images of subjects without ophthalmic disease. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated these MR images to determine if PRL was associated with aging. We also evaluated whether the initial leakage appeared in the temporal and inferior sides, and whether there was uniform distribution within the vitreous after 24 hours. Methods: In 127 subjects (9 volunteers, 85 patients with sudden deafness, and 33 patients with a suspicion of endolymphatic hydrops), pre-and post-contrast-enhanced heavily T2-weighted 3D-fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images were obtained. The presence or absence of PRL was subjectively evaluated. For patients with a suspicion of endolymphatic hydrops, 3D-real inversion recovery (IR) images were also obtained at pre-, 10 mins, 4 hours, and 24 hours after intravenous administration (IV) of GBCA. Four circular ROIs were placed in the vitreous humor and the signal intensity was measured. Results: In the cases with PRL (n = 88) and without PRL (n = 47), the median age was 59 and 47 years, respectively (P = 0.001). At 4 hours after IV-GBCA, the mean signal increase in the inferior temporal ROI was greater than all the other ROIs. At 24 hours after IV-GBCA, no significant difference in signal intensity was observed for the four ROIs. Conclusion: PRL of GBCA is age-dependent and occurs mainly from the inferior temporal side of the ora serrata. The contrast effect was uniformly distributed at 24 hours after IV-GBCA. Future observations in a variety of diseases will determine the clinical significance of these findings.

It has been reported that perivenous cystic structures near the parasagittal dura are associated with the leakage of gadolinium-based contrast agents at 4 hours after intravenous administration. The origin of such cystic structures remains unknown. While reading many cases of MR cisternography, we noticed that some of the cystic structures appeared to connect to the perivenous subpial space. This new imaging finding might facilitate future research of the waste clearance system for the central nervous system.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the interstitial fluid status in a wide range of age groups using diffusion-weighted image analysis along the perivascular space (DWI–ALPS) method, which is a simplified variation of diffusion tensor image analysis along the perivascular space (DTI–ALPS). Materials and methods: This retrospective study included data from 128 patients who underwent clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies, including DWI, and were found to have no abnormal findings in the brain on MRI. Three motion-probing gradients of the DWI were applied in an orthogonal direction to the imaging plane. Apparent diffusion coefficient images in the x-, y-, and z-axes were retrospectively generated, and composite color images were created to locate the projection and association fiber area on the slice including the body of the lateral ventricle. ALPS indices were calculated, and correlations with age were evaluated using linear and second-degree regression analysis. Linear regression analysis was also performed for a subgroup of patients older than 40 years. In addition, an analysis of variance (ANOVA) test among the generations was performed. Results: The linear regression analysis between age and the ALPS index showed a correlation coefficient of −0.20 for all age group and −0.51 for the subgroup older than 40 years. The second-degree regression analysis showed a correlation coefficient of 0.39. ANOVA showed that the 40’s generation showed a statistically significant higher value of ALPS index compared to all other generations except for the 30’s generation. While, the 70’s generation showed a statistically significant lower value of the ALPS index compared to all other generations. Conclusions: The analysis of the DWI–APLS method showed a correlation between age and the ALPS index in second-degree distribution which peaked in the 40’s generation. This finding in normal subjects may be fundamental in the analysis of disease cases. Secondary abstract: We tried to evaluate the glymphatic system status in a wide range of age groups using diffusion-weighted image analysis along the perivascular space (DWI–ALPS) method, and the results showed a correlation between age and the ALPS index in second-degree distribution which peaked in the 40’s generation.

Purpose: The diffusion tensor image analysis along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) method was developed to evaluate the brain’s glymphatic function or interstitial fluid dynamics. This study aimed to evaluate the reproducibility of the DTI-ALPS method and the effect of modifications in the imaging method and data evaluation. Materials and methods: Seven healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study. Image acquisition was performed for this test–retest study using a fixed imaging sequence and modified imaging methods which included the placement of region of interest (ROI), imaging plane, head position, averaging, number of motion-proving gradients, echo time (TE), and a different scanner. The ALPS-index values were evaluated for the change of conditions listed above. Results: This test–retest study by a fixed imaging sequence showed very high reproducibility (intraclass coefficient = 0.828) for the ALPS-index value. The bilateral ROI placement showed higher reproducibility. The number of averaging and the difference of the scanner did not influence the ALPS-index values. However, modification of the imaging plane and head position impaired reproducibility, and the number of motion-proving gradients affected the ALPS-index value. The ALPS-index values from 12-axis DTI and 3-axis diffusion-weighted image (DWI) showed good correlation (r = 0.86). Also, a shorter TE resulted in a larger value of the ALPS-index. Conclusion: ALPS index was robust under the fixed imaging method even when different scanners were used. ALPS index was influenced by the imaging plane, the number of motion-proving gradient axes, and TE in the imaging sequence. These factors should be uniformed in the planning ALPS method studies. The possibility to develop a 3-axis DWI-ALPS method using three axes of the motion-proving gradient was also suggested.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the associations between intratumoral or peritumoral textural features derived from pretreatment magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients. Methods: Forty-three patients with TNBC who underwent preoperative MRI between February 2008 and March 2014 were included. We performed two-dimensional texture analysis on the intratumoral or peritumoral region of interest (ROI) on axial of T2-weighted image (T2WI), dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI and DCE-MRI subtraction images. We also analyzed histopathological data. Cox proportional hazards models were used to investigate associations with survival outcomes. Results: Twelve of the 43 patients (27.9%) had recurrence disease, at a median of 32.5 months follow-up (1.4–61.5 months). In univariate analysis, nine texture features in T2WI and DCE-MRI subtraction images were significantly associated with RFS. In multivariate analysis, intratumoral difference entropy in DCE-MRI subtraction images in the initial phase (hazard ratio 11.71; 95% confidence interval (CI) [1.41, 97.00]; p value 0.023) and, peritumoral difference variance in DCE-MRI subtraction images in the delayed phase (hazard ratio 9.60; 95% CI [1.98, 46.51]; p value 0.005), were both independently associated with RFS. Moreover, multivariate analysis revealed the presence of lymphovascular invasion as independently associated with RFS (hazard ratio 8.13; 95% CI [2.16, 30.30]; p value 0.002). Conclusions: At pretreatment MRI, an intratumoral and peritumoral quantitative approach using texture analysis has the potential to serve as a prognostic marker in patients with TNBC.

Breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most sensitive imaging modality for breast cancer diagnosis and is widely used clinically. Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI is the basis for breast MRI, but ultrafast images, T2-weighted images, and diffusion-weighted images are also taken to improve the characteristics of the lesion. Such multiparametric MRI with numerous morphological and functional data poses new challenges to radiologists, and thus, new tools for reliable, reproducible, and high-volume quantitative assessments are warranted. In this context, radiomics, which is an emerging field of research involving the conversion of digital medical images into mineable data for clinical decision-making and outcome prediction, has been gaining ground in oncology. Recent development in artificial intelligence has promoted radiomics studies in various fields including breast cancer treatment and numerous studies have been conducted. However, radiomics has shown a translational gap in clinical practice, and many issues remain to be solved. In this review, we will outline the steps of radiomics workflow and investigate clinical application of radiomics focusing on breast MRI based on published literature, as well as current discussion about limitations and challenges in radiomics.

Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between the size of the venous structures related to the inner ear and the degree of endolymphatic hydrops (EH). Methods: Thirty-four patients with a suspicion of EH underwent whole brain MR imaging including the inner ear. Images were obtained pre-and post-administration, and at 4 and 24 hours after the intravenous administration of a gadolinium-based contrast agent (IV-GBCA). The cross-sectional areas (CSA) of the internal jugular vein (IJV), superior petrosal sinus (SPS), and inferior petrosal sinus (IPS) were measured on the magnetization prepared rapid acquisition of gradient echo (MPRAGE) images obtained immediately after the IV-GBCA. The grade of EH was determined on the hybrid of reversed image of positive endolymph signal and native image of positive perilymph signal (HYDROPS) images obtained at 4 hours after IV-GBCA as no, mild, and significant EH according to the previously proposed grading system for the cochlea and vestibule, respectively. The ipsilateral CSA was compared between groups with each level of EH grade. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between EH grades for the CSA of the IJV or that of the IPS in either the cochlea or the vestibule. The CSA of the SPS in the groups with significant EH was significantly smaller than that in the group with no EH, for both the cochlea (P < 0.01) and the vestibule (P < 0.05). In an ROC analysis to predict significant EH, the cut-off CSA value in the SPS was 3.905 mm2 for the cochlea (AUC: 0.8762, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.7952‒0.9572) and 3.805 mm2 for the vestibule (AUC: 0.7727, 95% CI: 0.6539‒0.8916). Conclusion: In the ears with significant EH in the cochlea or vestibule, the CSA of the ipsilateral SPS was smaller than in the ears without EH.

In this study, we present images acquired by a fast-imaging method for the evaluation of endolymphatic hydrops after intravenous administration of a single dose of gadolinium-based contrast agent. We utilized the hybrid of reversed image of MR cisternography and a positive perilymph signal by heavily T2-weighted 3D-fluid attenuated inversion recovery-multiplied by T2 (HYDROPS2-Mi2) method combined with deep learning reconstruction denoising. The scan time for the fast protocol was approximately 5 mins, which is far shorter than previously reported scan times. The fast acquisition provides similar image quality and less motion artifacts compared to the longer method.

The accuracy of brain age estimates from magnetic resonance (MR) images has improved with the advent of deep learning artificial intelligence (AI) models. However, most previous studies on predicting age emphasized aging from childhood to adulthood and old age, and few studies have focused on early brain development in children younger than 2 years of age. Here, we performed brain age estimates based on MR images in children younger than 2 years of age using deep learning. Our AI model, developed with one slice each of raw T1- and T2-weighted images from each subject, estimated brain age with a mean absolute error of 8.2 weeks (1.9 months). The estimates of our AI model were close to those of human specialists. The AI model also estimated the brain age of subjects with a myelination delay as significantly younger than the chronological age. These results indicate that the prediction accuracy of our AI model approached that of human specialists and that our simple method requiring less data and preprocessing facilitates a radiological assessment of brain development, such as monitoring maturational changes in myelination.

Purpose: To visualize and analyze the dynamics of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) motion in the cranium, we evaluated the distribution of motion-related signal dephasing by CSF on Diffusion ANalysis of fluid DYnamics with Incremental Strength of Motion proving gradient (DANDYISM) method, a composite imaging method using various low b values. Materials and methods: This study examined ten subjects aged 25–58. We acquired DWIs on a 3T clinical scanner with b values 0, 50, 100, 200, 300, 500, 700, and 1000 s/mm2 in total imaging time of 4 min. We constructed DANDYISM images and evaluated the CSF area distribution with decreased motion-dephasing signal using a scoring method. Results: The DANDYISM images showed statistically significant higher CSF scores in the ventral posterior fossa, suprasellar cistern, and Sylvian vallecula compared to the lateral ventricle and frontal and parietal CSF spaces, indicating greater CSF movement in the former areas. Conclusion: The results indicated prominent CSF motions in the ventral portion of the posterior fossa, suprasellar cistern, and Sylvian fissure but smaller motions in the lateral ventricles and parietal subarachnoid space. This method may provide information of CSF dynamics in the clinical settings within short imaging time.

Background: To investigate the correlation between iodine-related attenuation in contrast-enhanced dual-energy computed tomography (DE-CT) and the postoperative prognosis of surgically resected solid-type small-sized lung cancers. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the DE-CT findings and postoperative course of solid-type lung cancers ≤3 cm in diameter. After injection of iodinated contrast media, arterial phases were scanned using 140-kVp and 80-kVp tube voltages. Three-dimensional iodine-related attenuation (3D-IRA) of primary tumors at the arterial phase was computed using the “lung nodule” application software. The corrected 3D-IRA normalized to the patient’s body weight and contrast medium concentration was then calculated. Results: A total of 120 resected solid-type lung cancers ≤3 cm in diameter were selected for analysis (82 males and 38 females; mean age, 67 years). During the observation period (median, 47 months), 32 patients showed postoperative recurrence. Recurrent tumors had significantly lower 3D-IRA and corrected 3D-IRA at early phase compared to non-recurrent tumors (p = 0.046 and p = 0.027, respectively). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for postoperative recurrence was 0.624 for the corrected 3D-IRA at early phase (p = 0.025), and the cutoff value was 5.88. Kaplan–Meier curves for disease-free survival indicated that patients showing tumors with 3D-IRA > 5.88 had a significantly better prognosis than those with tumors showing 3D-IRA < 5.88 (p = 0.017). Conclusions: The 3D-IRA of small-sized solid-type lung cancers on contrast-enhanced DE-CT was significantly associated with postoperative prognosis, and low 3D-IRA tumors showed a higher TNM stage and a significantly poorer prognosis.

Purpose: Decrease in signal of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) on low b-value diffusion weighted image (DWI) due to non-uniform flow can provide additional information regarding CSF motion. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate whether arterial pulsations constitute the driving force of CSF motion. Methods: We evaluated the CSF signals within the Sylvian fissure on low b-value DWI in 19 patients with unilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion. DWI with b-value of 500 s/mm2 was evaluated for a decrease in CSF signal within the Sylvian fissure including the Sylvian vallecula and lower, middle, and higher Sylvian fissures and graded as follows: the same as contralateral side; smaller signal decrease than that on contralateral side; and no signal decrease. MR angiography (MRA) findings of MCA were graded as follows: the same as contralateral, lower signal than contralateral signal, and no signal. In 15 patients, regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was evaluated using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) studies and graded as > 90%, 90%–70%, and < 70% rCBF compared to contralateral. The correlations between the gradings were evaluated using G likelihood-ratio test. Results: There was no statistically significant correlation between the MRA and low b-value DWI gradings of CSF in all areas. There were statistically significant correlations between the decreases in CBF on SPECT and CSF signals in the middle Sylvian fissure. Conclusion: The driving force of CSF pulsation in the Sylvian sinus may be related to the pulsations of the cerebral hemisphere rather than direct arterial pulsations.

Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility for the detection of slight contrast effects after intravenous administration of single dose gadolinium-based contrast agent (IV-SD-GBCA), the time course of the GBCA distribution up to 24 h was examined in various fluid spaces and brain parenchyma using 3D-real IR imaging and MR fingerprinting (MRF). Methods: Twenty-four patients with a suspicion of endolymphatic hydrops were scanned at pre-administration and at 10 min, 4 and 24 h post-IV-SD-GBCA. 3D-real IR images and MRF at the level of the internal auditory canal were obtained. The signal intensity on the 3D-real IR image of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the cerebellopontine angle cistern (CPA), Sylvian fissure (Syl), lateral ventricle (LV), and cochlear perilymph (CPL) was measured. The T1 and T2 values of cerebellar gray (GM) and white matter (WM) were measured using MRF. Each averaged value at the various time points was compared using an analysis of variance. Results: The signal intensity on the 3D-real IR image in each CSF region peaked at 4 h, and was decreased significantly by 24 h (P < 0.05). All patients had a maximum signal intensity at 4 h in the CPA, and Syl. The mean CPL signal intensity peaked at 4 h and decreased significantly by 24 h (P < 0.05). All patients but two had a maximum signal intensity at 4 h. Regarding the T1 value in the cerebellar WM and GM, the T1 value at 10 min post-IV-GBCA was significantly decreased compared to the pre-contrast scan, but no significant difference was observed at the other time points. There was no significant change in T2 in the gray or white matter at any of the time points. Conclusion: Time course of GBCA after IV-SD-GBCA could be evaluated by 3D-real IR imaging in CSF spaces and in the brain by MRF.

Purpose: To investigate the association between signal changes over time in perivenous cystic structures near the superior sagittal sinus and leakage of a gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) into the subarachnoid space in patients with suspected endolymphatic hydrops. Methods: Fifty-one cystic structures in 27 cases were evaluated. The signal intensity of the cystic structures was measured on 3D real inversion recovery (3D-real IR) images obtained at pre-, and at 10 min, 4 hrs and 24 hrs post-intravenous administration (IV) of GBCA. Signal enhancement of the cystic structures from the pre-contrast images at each time point was compared in subjects with leakage (positive) versus those without leakage (negative) using an ANOVA. Fisher’s exact probability test was used to compare the maximum contrast-enhanced time point between positive and negative groups. We used 5% as a threshold to determine statistical significance. Results: In leakage positive subjects, mean signal enhancement of the cysts was significantly greater at 4 and 24 hrs compared to 10 min. However, although there was a trend of an increase from 4 to 24 hrs, the difference was not significant. In the leakage negative group, mean signal enhancement of the cysts was significantly higher at 4 hrs compared to 10 min and 24 hrs. There was no significant difference between 10 min and 24 hrs. In the positive group, the maximum signal increase was found in 10/38 and 28/38 cysts at 4 and 24 hrs after IV-GBCA, respectively. In the leakage negative group, the maximum signal increase was found in 10/13 and 3/13 cysts at 4 and 24 hrs, respectively (P = 0.0019). Conclusion: There was an association between signal changes over time after IV-GBCA in perivenous cystic structures and leakage of GBCA. Further research to clarify the impact of cystic structures on the function of the waste clearance system of the brain is warranted.

Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate the relationship between the number and size of cystic structures around the cortical veins near the superior sagittal sinus and the leakage of gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) around the cortical veins. Methods: Of 190 patients (91 male and 99 female), that were scanned at 4 h after an intravenous injection of GBCA as a diagnostic examination for endolymphatic hydrops, 6 patients with GBCA leakage were younger than the previously proposed threshold age of 37.3 years for leakage. Six age-matched patients without leakage were also included for reference. In addition, we included 8 cases without leakage that were older than the hypothesized threshold of 37.3 years, as well as 8 age-matched patients with GBCA leakage into the cerebrospinal fluid space. The number of cysts was counted and the sizes were measured in these 28 patients (age: 32–60 years old, 13 men and 15 women). Results: The mean number of cysts surrounding the cortical veins in the parasagittal region was 4.29 ± 1.77 vs. 1.79 ± 1.05 (P = 0.0001) in the subjects with and without GBCA leakage, respectively. The mean size of the largest cysts was at 8.89 ± 3.49 mm vs. 5.69 ± 2.29 (P = 0.009) in the subjects with and without GBCA leakage, respectively. Conclusion: The number and size of the perivenous cystic structures near the superior sagittal sinus is greater in subjects with GBCA leakage into the subarachnoid space compared with those without leakage. Future research regarding the histological and functional details of these parasagittal cystic structures is needed.

We retrospectively evaluated the frequency of unexpected accumulation of radioactive iodine on the post-therapy whole-body scan (Rx-WBS) after radioactive iodine (RAI) ablation therapy in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). We searched our institutional database for Rx-WBSs of DTC patients who underwent RAI ablation or adjuvant therapy between 2012 and 2019. Patients with distant metastasis diagnosed by CT or PET/CT before therapy, and those had previously received RAI therapy were excluded. In total, 293 patients (201 female and 92 male, median age 54 years) were selected. Two nuclear medicine physicians interpreted the Rx-WBS images by determining the visual intensity of radioiodine uptake by the thyroid bed, cervical and mediastinal lymph nodes, lungs, and bone. Clinical features of the patients with and without the metastatic accumulation were compared by chi-square test and median test. Logistic regression analyses were performed to compare the association between the presence of metastatic accumulation and these clinical factors. Eighty-four of 293 patients (28.7%) showed metastatic accumulation. Patients with metastatic RAI accumulation showed a significantly higher frequency of pathological N1 (pN1) and serum thyroglobulin (Tg) > 1.5 ng/ml under TSH stimulation (p = 0.035 and p = 0.031, respectively). Logistic regression analysis indicated that a serum Tg > 1.5 ng/ml was significantly correlated with the presence of metastatic accumulation (odds ratio = 1.985; p = 0.033). In conclusion, Patients with Tg > 1.5 ng/ml were more likely to show metastatic accumulation. In addition, the presence of lymph node metastasis at the initial thyroid surgery was also associated with this unexpected metastatic accumulation.

Neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI) is a novel diffusion method for evaluating tissue microstructure, and may provide additional information over conventional diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). We evaluated NODDI and DTI parameters in cases of tuberous sclerosis (TS) to assess microstructural changes in the white matter. Eleven cases of tuberous sclerosis and eight age-matched controls underwent NODDI and DTI. We performed qualitative analysis and tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) analysis of the NODDI parameters (Ficv: intracellular volume fraction, Fiso: isotropic fraction, ODI: orientation dispersion index) as well as DTI parameters (MD: mean diffusivity, FA: fractional anisotropy). We also performed a correlation analysis between clinical symptoms and parameters. The qualitative analysis indicated that the Ficv had a lower value in TS cases particularly in the tubers adjacent to the white matter. The TBSS analysis showed that the TS cases had decreased Ficv in a greater area compared to the other parameters including MD. In particular, the Ficv was decreased in deep white matter, such as the superior longitudinal fascicles (SLF). The application of NODDI to TS cases revealed tissue microstructural changes, and particularly the Ficv could detect more widespread abnormalities in white matter structure compared to DTI parameters.

Purpose: It has been reported previously that intravenously administered gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) leaks into the subarachnoid space around the cortical veins at 4 h after injection in all old people over 37 years, but not in younger people up to 37 years of age in 3D-real IR images. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there was a strict threshold of 37 years of age for the leakage of the GBCA into the subarachnoid space. Methods: The subjects included 190 patients, that were scanned for 3D-real IR images at 4 hours after intravenous injection of GBCA as a diagnostic test for endolymphatic hydrops. The patient’s age ranged from 14 to 81 years. Two experienced neuroradiologists evaluated the images to determine whether the GBCA leakage around the cortical veins was positive or negative. Any discrepancies between the two observers were discussed and a consensus was obtained. A Mann–Whitney U test and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were used to compare the positive and the negative group and to set the age cut-off value for the prediction of GBCA leakage. Results: The GBCA leakage around the cortical veins was negative in 35 patients and positive in 155 patients. The average age was 33 ± 11 years in the negative group, and 55 ± 12 years in the positive group (P < 0.01). In the ROC analysis for the age and leakage of the GBCA, an area under the curve was 0.905 and the cut-off age was 37.317 years (sensitivity of 0.942 and specificity of 0.771). Conclusion: Intravenously administered GBCA leaks into the subarachnoid space around the cortical veins in most patients over 37 years of age. However, it should be noted that it can be found occasionally in patients under 37 years of age.

The results of research on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for medical imaging of the lungs of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been published in various forms. In this study, we reviewed the AI for diagnostic imaging of COVID-19 pneumonia. PubMed, arX-iv, medRxiv, and Google scholar were used to search for AI studies. There were 15 studies of COVID-19 that used AI for medical imaging. Of these, 11 studies used AI for computed tomography (CT) and 4 used AI for chest radiography. Eight studies presented independent test data, 5 used disclosed data, and 4 disclosed the AI source codes. The number of datasets ranged from 106 to 5941, with sensitivities ranging from 0.67–1.00 and specificities ranging from 0.81–1.00 for prediction of COVID-19 pneumonia. Four studies with independent test datasets showed a breakdown of the data ratio and reported prediction of COVID-19 pneumonia with sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC). These 4 studies showed very high sensitivity, specificity, and AUC, in the range of 0.9–0.98, 0.91–0.96, and 0.96–0.99, respectively.

Objective: To evaluate the associations between computer-aided diagnosis (CAD)-generated kinetic volume parameters and survival in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients. Methods: 40 patients with TNBC who underwent pre-operative MRI between March 2008 and March 2014 were included. We analyzed CAD-generated parameters on dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI, visual MRI assessment, and histopathological data. Cox proportional hazards models were used to determine associations with survival outcomes. Results: 12 of the 40 (30.0%) patients experienced recurrence and 7 died of breast cancer after a median follow-up of 73.6 months. In multivariate analysis, higher percentage volume (%V) with more than 200% initial enhancement rate correlated with worse disease-specific survival (hazard ratio, 1.12; 95% confidence interval, 1.02-1.22; p-value, 0.014) and higher %V with more than 100% initial enhancement rate followed by persistent curve type at 30% threshold correlated with worse disease-specific survival (hazard ratio, 1.33; 95% confidence interval, 1.10-1.61; p-value, 0.004) and disease-free survival (hazard ratio, 1.27; 95% confidence interval, 1.12-1.43; p-value, 0.000). Conclusion: CAD-generated kinetic volume parameters may correlate with survival in TNBC patients. Further study would be necessary to validate our results on larger cohorts. Advances in knowledge: CAD generated kinetic volume parameters on breast MRI can predict recurrence and survival outcome of patients in TNBC. Varying the enhancement threshold improved the predictive performance of CAD generated kinetic volume parameter.

We currently obtain pre-and post-contrast enhanced whole brain 3D-real inversion recovery images for the evaluation of endolymphatic hydrops. We noticed that the space between the pial sheath surrounding the cortical veins and the cortical venous wall is enhanced and this enhancement seems to connect to the meningeal lymphatics along superior sagittal sinus. This new anatomical concept regarding the outflow from the glymphatic system might be important for the future research in neuroscience.

Purpose This paper aims to explore the role of a metabolic parameter on 18F-FDG-PET/CT for clinical T-classification in early-stage adenocarcinoma. Patients and Methods One hundred six surgically resected pathological TNM stage (p-stage) 0/I lung adenocarcinomas were retrospectively reviewed. The solid size (SS) measured on thin-section CT and the pathological invasive size (IS) of tumors were recorded. The SUVmax and metabolic tumor volume with SUV ≥1.0 (MTV1.0) derived from PET/CT data were measured on a workstation, and the metabolic tumor diameter with SUV ≥1.0 (MTD1.0) was calculated automatically from MTV1.0. For the correlations between the IS and the SS, MTD1.0, or SUVmax, Pearson's correlation coefficients were compared using the Meng-Rosenthal-Rubin method. Additionally, the reproducibility between the clinical TNM stage (c-stage), based on the SS or MTD1.0, and the p-stage was analyzed using the kappa coefficient (k). Results For the correlations between the IS and the other parameters, Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.630 for the SS, 0.600 for the SUVmax, and 0.725 for MTD1.0. MTD1.0 correlated significantly and more strongly with the IS than the SS and the SUVmax did (P = 0.040, and P = 0.008, respectively). The reproducibility between p-stage and c-stage based on the SS was moderate (k = 0.529, P < 0.001), whereas that between p-stage and c-stage based on MTD1.0 was substantial (k = 0.676, P < 0.001). Conclusions MTD1.0 on FDG-PET/CT was correlated significantly and more strongly with the pathological IS in lung adenocarcinomas than with the SS on thin-section CT. FDG-PET/CT could classify more precisely early-stage lung adenocarcinoma than the presently used T-classification based on thin-section CT findings.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between the postoperative prognosis of patients with part-solid non–small cell lung cancer and the solid component size acquired by using three-dimensional (3D) volumetry software on multidetector computed tomographic (CT) images. Materials and A retrospective study by using preoperative multidetector Methods: CT data with 0.5-mm section thickness, clinical records, and pathologic reports of 96 patients with primary subsolid non–small cell lung cancer (47 men and 49 women; mean age 6 standard deviation, 66 years 6 8) were reviewed. Two radiologists measured the two-dimensional (2D) maximal solid size of each nodule on an axial image (hereafter, 2D MSSA), the 3D maximal solid size on multiplanar reconstructed images (hereafter, 3D MSSMPR), and the 3D solid volume of greater than 0 HU (hereafter, 3D SV0HU) within each nodule. The correlations between the postoperative recurrence and the effects of clinical and pathologic characteristics, 2D MSSA, 3D MSSMPR, and 3D SV0HU as prognostic imaging biomarkers were assessed by using a Cox proportional hazards model. Results: For the prediction of postoperative recurrence, the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve was 0.796 (95% confidence interval: 0.692, 0.900) for 2D MSSA, 0.776 (95% confidence interval: 0.667, 0.886) for 3D MSSMPR, and 0.835 (95% confidence interval: 0.749, 0.922) for 3D SV0HU. The optimal cutoff value for 3D SV0HU for predicting tumor recurrence was 0.54 cm3, with a sensitivity of 0.933 (95% confidence interval: 0.679, 0.998) and a specificity of 0.716 (95% confidence interval: 0.605, 0.811) for the recurrence. Significant predictive factors for disease-free survival were 3D SV0HU greater than or equal to 0.54 cm3 (hazard ratio, 6.61; P = .001) and lymphatic and/or vascular invasion derived from histopathologic analysis (hazard ratio, 2.96; P = .040). Conclusion: The measurement of 3D SV0HU predicted the postoperative prognosis of patients with part-solid lung cancer more accurately than did 2D MSSA and 3D MSSMPR.

We reviewed the concordance between the clinical stage and pathologic stage for primary lung cancer. We evaluated 289 surgically resected lung cancers ≤ 3 cm. Multivariate survival analysis showed that the significant predictive factors for postoperative disease-free survival were pathologic stage and the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of primary lesions. Combining SUVmax with clinical stage might improve the prediction of therapeutic outcomes. Introduction: We aimed to determine the concordance between the clinical stage (c-stage) and pathologic stage (p-stage) for patients with small-size lung cancer. Additionally we searched for prognostic factors other than the TNM stage. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the preoperative multidetector computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography/CT reports, surgical records, and pathologic reports of patients with primary lung cancer ≤ 3 cm. The Union for International Cancer Control TNM seventh edition classification of c-stage and p-stage were compared. The tumors were classified into multiple subgroups by concordance or discordance between the c-stage and p-stage. Disease-free survival (DFS) was assessed using survival analysis to assess the tumor characteristics that were predictive of prognosis. Results: A total of 289 surgically resected primary lung cancers were evaluated. The concordance between c-stage and p-stage was 65.4%, with moderate reproducibility (kappa coefficient, 0.467). The upstaging rate from c-stage I to p-stage II-IV was 9.4%, and these patients had significantly worse DFS than those with a concordant stage I classification (P <.001). The main reason for upstaging was an underestimation of metastases to the hilar lymph nodes (n = 7) or mediastinal lymph nodes (n = 11). A multivariate Cox proportional hazards model showed that the significant predictive factors for DFS were p-stage (hazard ratio, 1.342; P =.003) and maximum standardized uptake value on positron emission tomography/CT (hazard ratio, 12.162; P =.001). Conclusion: The concordance rate between c-stage and p-stage for small primary lung cancers had moderate reproducibility. Discordance between c-stage I and p-stage II-IV significantly affected DFS. The maximum standardized uptake value of the primary lesion was an independent prognostic factor, and combining it with c-stage might improve the prediction of therapeutic outcomes.

Purpose To compare dual-phase dual-energy CT (DE-CT) with FDG-PET/CT for predicting histopathological locoregional invasiveness of non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). Materials and methods We selected 63 consecutive patients with NSCLC lesions (37 males, 26 females; age range, 44–85 years; mean age, 69 years) who were evaluated preoperatively by both DE-CT and PET/CT at our institution. Postoperative microscopic invasiveness (lymphatic permeation, vascular invasion, and/or pleural involvement) was reviewed, and we defined locoregionally invasive tumors as those that had at least one positive finding of microscopic invasiveness. DE-CT scanning in the arterial and delayed phases was performed after injection of iodinated contrast media using 140-kVp and 80-kVp tube voltages. Three-dimensional iodine-related attenuation of primary tumors in the arterial and delayed phases was quantified automatically using “syngo Dual Energy Lung Nodules” application software, and the ratio of arterial phase to delayed phase enhancement (A/D ratio) was calculated. The A/D ratio and SUVmax on PET/CT were evaluated with respect to postoperative invasiveness by univariate logistic regression analysis. Results The A/D ratio was significantly correlated with lymphatic permeation, vascular invasion, and pleural involvement (p = 0.011, p = 0.021, and p = 0.010, respectively). In contrast, the SUVmax was significantly correlated with pleural involvement (p = 0.020) but not with lymphatic permeation or vascular invasion (p = 0.088 and p = 0.100, respectively). In the subgroup of patients with lesion diameters ≤2 cm, the A/D ratio was significantly correlated with locoregional invasiveness (p = 0.040), while the SUVmax was not (p = 0.121). Conclusion For the prediction of microscopic invasiveness of NSCLCs, the diagnostic performance of dual-phase DE-CT may be comparable to that of FDG-PET/CT.

Purpose: We developed an original, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) software that subtracts the initial thoracic vertebral three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) image from the follow-up 3D-CT image. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of this CAD software during screening for vertebral metastases on follow-up CT images of primary lung cancer patients. Materials and Methods: The interpretation experiment included 30 sets of follow-up CT scans in primary lung cancer patients and was performed by two readers (readers A and B), who each had 2.5 years' experience reading CT images. In 395 vertebrae from C6 to L3, 46 vertebral metastases were identified as follows: osteolytic metastases (n = 17), osteoblastic metastases (n = 14), combined osteolytic and osteoblastic metastases (n = 6), and pathological fractures (n = 9). Thirty-six lesions were in the anterior component (vertebral body), and 10 lesions were in the posterior component (vertebral arch, transverse process, and spinous process). The area under the curve (AUC) by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and the sensitivity and specificity for detecting vertebral metastases were compared with and without CAD for each observer. Results: Reader A detected 47 abnormalities on CT images without CAD, and 33 of them were truepositive metastatic lesions. Using CAD, reader A detected 57 abnormalities, and 38 were true positives. The sensitivity increased from 0.717 to 0.826, and on ROC curve analysis, AUC with CAD was significantly higher than that without CAD (0.849 vs. 0.902, p = 0.021). Reader B detected 40 abnormalities on CT images without CAD, and 36 of them were truepositive metastatic lesions. Using CAD, reader B detected 44 abnormalities, and 39 were true positives. The sensitivity increased from 0.783 to 0.848, and AUC with CAD was nonsignificantly higher than that without CAD (0.889 vs. 0.910, p = 0.341). Both readers detected more osteolytic and osteoblastic metastases with CAD than without CAD. Conclusion: Our temporal 3D-CT subtraction CAD software easily detected vertebral metastases on the follow-up CT images of lung cancer patients regardless of the osteolytic or osteoblastic nature of the lesions.
