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 ...

Diffusion tensor imaging reveals subclinical alterations in muscles of patients with becker muscular dystrophy
CONCLUSIONS: This method proved to be able to identify possible early or subclinical microstructural alterations in BMD muscles.ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: This is to our knowledge the first imaging study to provide evidence of such microstructural alterations in muscles rated as normal in a conventional imaging-based assessment.PMID:38574384 | DOI:10.1093/bjr/tqae070 (Source: The British Journal of Radiology)

Clinical prediction of microvascular invasion in hepatocellular carcinoma using an MRI-Based graph convolutional network model integrated with nomogram
CONCLUSIONS: The GCN model based on DP has a high predictive ability. A nomogram combining GS, clinical and radiological characteristics can be a simple and effective guiding tool for selecting HCC treatment options.ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: GCN based on MRI could predict MVI on HCC; GCN combining with nomogram analysis to diagnose MVI preoperatively may influence the clinical decision.PMID:38552308 | DOI:10.1093/bjr/tqae056 (Source: The British Journal of Radiology)

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSmall-field dosimetry used in special procedures such as gamma knife, Cyberknife, Tomotherapy, IMRT and VMAT has been in evolution after several radiation incidences with very significant (70%) errors due to poor understanding of the dosimetry. IAEA-TRS-483 and AAPM-TG-155 have provided comprehensive information on small-fields dosimetry in terms of code of practice and relative dosimetry. Data for various detectors and conditions have been elaborated. It turns out that with a suitable detectors dose measurement accuracy can be reason...
