Purpose: To investigate the association of overall and disease-specific survival with the five standard treatment modalities for prostate cancer (CaP): radical prostatectomy (RP), brachytherapy (BT), external beam radiotherapy, androgen deprivation…
BackgroundFor most computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) problems involving prostate cancer detection via medical imaging data, the choice of classifier has been largely ad hoc, or been motivated by classifier comparison studies that have involved large…
Purpose To assess the performance of computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems and to determine the dominant ultrasonographic (US) features when classifying benign versus malignant focal liver lesions (FLLs) by using contrast material-enhanced US cine…
To determine the feasibility of a prototype device combining 3D-automated breast ultrasound (ABVS) and digital breast tomosynthesis in a single device to detect and characterize breast lesions. In this prospective feasibility study, the FUSION-X-US…
OBJECTIVE. Conversion of bone marrow in the extremities from red to yellow is a normal maturation process. Marrow reconversion is present when expected yellow marrow is replaced with active red marrow, and it tends to occur at times of physiologic…
OBJECTIVE. Sclerosing lobular hyperplasia is an infrequent benign lesion of the breast, defined as prominent hyperplasia of the lobules with sclerosis of the interlobular stroma. It commonly presents as a tumorlike mass clinically. Sclerosing lobular…
Prenatal diagnosis of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) is rare. We describe a case in which the diagnosis was made at 24 weeks' gestation. The fetus had a double-outlet right ventricle, mitral atresia, a subaortic ventricular…
We describe the prenatal diagnosis of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) at 27 weeks' gestation in a patient with Fryns with the right upper pulmonary vein to the right superior vena cava and right atrial junction. The remaining…
Isolation of the subclavian artery is an uncommon anomaly of the aortic arch system in which one subclavian artery loses its connection with the aorta and arises from the homolateral pulmonary artery by way of a ductus arteriosus. An isolated…
An aortopulmonary septal defect is a rare cardiac malformation in which there is a communication between the ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk in the presence of 2 separate semilunar valves. There are reports of postnatal diagnosis of…
Tetralogy of Fallot is known to be associated with anomalies in the origin or course of coronary arteries. We describe a case of fetal echocardiographic diagnosis at 24 weeks' gestation of tetralogy of Fallot with a single right coronary artery in…
Objective. The purpose of this series was to describe the fetal echocardiographic findings in hypoplastic left heart syndrome with aortic atresia and ventriculocoronary arterial communication and implications of these findings. Methods. We describe 2…
Objective. The purpose of this series is to describe the prenatal echocardiographic findings of vascular rings. Methods. The 3-vessel and trachea view consists of the axial view of the upper mediastinum. The normal left aortic arch appears as a…
Objective. The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of prenatal cardiac diagnosis, prognosis, and outcome of totally anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) and to determine echocardiographic clues in the prenatal diagnosis of…
Gadolinium contrast administration, usually with magnetic resonance imaging, is an important diagnostic modality in the investigation of neurological pathologies. There is little evidence in the literature suggesting repeated exposure to intrathecal…

Within the field of elastography, a relatively new approach analyzes the limiting case of shear waves established as a reverberant field. In this framework, it is assumed that a distribution of shear waves exists, oriented across all directions in 3D…
Screening for breast cancer reduces breast cancer-related mortality and earlier detection facilitates less aggressive treatment. Unfortunately, current screening modalities are imperfect, suffering from limited sensitivity and high false-positive…
The composition of cartilage is predictive of its in vivo performance. Therefore, the ability to assess its primary macromolecular components, proteoglycan (PG) and collagen, is of great importance. In the current study, we hypothesized that PG…
