Dutch use heart valve tracking to boost viability of 4D MRI

An automated heart valve-tracking algorithm halved the amount of time and variability involved in blood-flow quantification with 4D MRI, Dutch researchers stated in an article published online on 30 October. The improved efficiency may help convince clinicians that cardiac 4D MRI is useful for assessing valvular heart disease.

NELSON gives Europeans go-ahead for CT lung screening

CT lung cancer screening got a big boost this week from researchers in the Dutch-Belgian Randomized Lung Cancer Screening (NELSON) trial, who at the 2018 World Conference on Lung Cancer in Toronto reported a 26% mortality reduction for men in the trial. The findings could give the green light to CT lung screening in Europe.

Mirai shows promise for detecting interval breast cancers

The AI risk prediction model Mirai has shown promise for detecting interval breast cancers from screening mammograms, U.K. researchers have reported.

Sequences included in the study MRI protocol: (a) coronal TIRM (turbo inversion recovery magnitude) sequence, (b) coronal T1-weighted sequence, (c) axial FLAIR (fluid-attenuated inversion recovery) sequence (head only), (d) axial T2-weighted fast spin-echo sequence (HASTE), (e) axial diffusion-weighted imaging (b-value 900), (f) an axial ADC map, (g) axial T1-Dixon water-only images before contrast agent, and (h) after administration of contrast agent.

Lateral spreading tumors (LSTs). (a–c) Example of LST-non-granular (LST-NG). (a) Sagittal 2D-image with 40–400-HU abdominal window setting indicates a large 5.6-cm lesion with subtle diffuse thickening of the rectal wall (white arrows); the surface is partially covered by a thin layer of orally administered contrast agent. (b) The appearance of the villous mat on the 3D endoscopic view highlights the nodular aspect (white arrows) at the periphery of the lesion. (c) The optical colonoscopy view with the final diagnosis of a carpet villous adenoma with low-grade dysplasia. (d–f) Example of an LST-granular (LST-G) lesion. (d) Sagittal 2D image indicating nodular thickening of the rectum wall with a 10-mm nodule (white arrow). (e) The 3D endoscopic view visualized the irregular LST with a large nodule (white arrow), similar to (f) the endoscopic image obtained the same day after CTC. It confirmed the diagnosis and allowed mucosectomy with a final pathology report of a tubulous lesion with high-grade dysplasia.
