Utility of mono-exponential, bi-exponential, and stretched exponential signal models of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) to predict prognosis and survival risk in laryngeal and hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LHSCC) patients after chemoradiotherapy
ConclusionThe pretreatment parameters of mono-exponential and bi-exponential models were significantly correlated with prognosis of LHSCC, ADCmean and D* values were independent factors for survival risk prediction. (Source: Japanese Journal of Radiology)

Imaging of pituitary tumors: an update with the 5th WHO Classifications —part 1. Pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (PitNET)/pituitary adenoma
AbstractThe pituitary gland is the body ’s master gland of the endocrine glands. Although it is a small organ, many types of tumors can develop within it. The recently revised fifth edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) classifications (2021 World Health Organization Classification of Central Nervous System Tumors and 2022 Worl d Health Organization Classification of Endocrine and Neuroendocrine Tumors) revealed significant changes to the classification of pituitary adenomas, the most common type of pituitary gland tumor. This change categorized pituitary adenomas as neuroendocrine tumors and proposed the name t...

Prognostic value of 18F-FDG lesion dissemination features in patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL)
ConclusionBMB and Dmax were independent predictors of PTCL in our study. Moreover, a prognostic model based on the Dmax, TMTV, and BMB could be useful for predicting the survival outcomes of patients with PTCL. (Source: Japanese Journal of Radiology)
