Early Detection of Cancer: Evaluation of MR Imaging Grading Systems in Patients with Suspected Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Editor’s Choice Dedicated nasopharyngeal MR imaging before (plain scan system) and after intravenous contrast administration (current and modified systems) was reviewed in patients from a nasopharyngeal carcinoma-endemic region, comprising 383 patients with suspected disease without nasopharyngeal carcinoma and 383 patients

Evaluation of the Normal Cochlear Second Interscalar Ridge Angle and Depth on 3D T2-Weighted Images: A Tool for the Diagnosis of Scala Communis and Incomplete Partition Type II

Fellows’ Journal Club The second interscalar ridge notch angle and depth were measured on MR imaging in normal ears by a single experienced neuroradiologist. The images of normal ears were then randomly mixed with images of ears with incomplete partition

MRI with DWI for the Detection of Posttreatment Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Why Morphologic MRI Criteria Matter

Fellows’ Journal Club The authors analyzed 1.5T MRI examinations of 100 consecutive patients treated with radiation therapy with or without additional surgery for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. MRI examinations included morphologic sequences and DWI. Histology and follow-up served

Intravoxel Incoherent Motion MR Imaging in the Differentiation of Benign and Malignant Sinonasal Lesions: Comparison with Conventional Diffusion-Weighted MR Imaging

Fellows’ Journal Club One hundred thirty-one patients with histologically proved solid sinonasal lesions (56 benign and 75 malignant) who underwent conventional DWI and intravoxel incoherent motion were evaluated. The diffusion coefficient (D), pseudodiffusion coefficient (D*), and perfusion fraction (f) values

Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI–Derived Intracellular Water Lifetime (τi): A Prognostic Marker for Patients with Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas

Editor’s Choice The authors evaluated 60 patients with dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging before treatment. Median, mean intracellular water molecule lifetime, and volume transfer constant values from metastatic nodes were computed from each patient. Kaplan-Meier analyses were performed to associate mean

CT Texture Analysis Potentially Predicts Local Failure in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Treated with Chemoradiotherapy

Fellows’ Journal Club This was a retrospective study including 62 patients diagnosed with primary head and neck squamous cellcarcinoma who underwent contrast-enhanced CT examinations for staging, followed by chemoradiotherapy. CT texture features of thewhole primary tumor were measured using an
