Abstract
PURPOSE The importance of breast cancer screening has long been known. Unfortunately, there is no imaging modality for screening women with dense breasts that is both sensitive and without concerns regarding potential side effects. The purpose of this study is to explore the possibility of combined diffusion-weighted imaging and turbo inversion recovery magnitude MRI (DWI + TIRM) to overcome the difficulty of detection sensitivity and safety. METHODS One hundred and seventy-six breast lesions from 166 women with dense breasts were retrospectively evaluated. The lesion visibility, area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity and specificity of cancer detection by MG, DWI + TIRM, and clinical MRI were evaluated and compared. MG plus clinical MRI served as the gold standard for lesion detection and pathology served as the gold standard for cancer detection. RESULTS Lesion visibility of DWI + TIRM (96.6%) was significantly superior to MG (67.6%) in women with dense breasts (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference compared with clinical MRI. DWI + TIRM showed higher accuracy (AUC = 0.935) and sensitivity (93.68%) for breast cancer detection than MG (AUC = 0.783, sensitivity = 46.32%), but was comparable to clinical MRI (AUC = 0.944, sensitivity = 93.68%). The specificity of DWI + TIRM (83.95%) was lower than MG (98.77%), but higher than clinical MRI (77.78%). CONCLUSIONS DWI combined with TIRM could be a safe, sensitive, and practical alternative for screening women with dense breasts.

Sarkar SN, Hackney DB, Greenman RL, Vachha BA, Johnson EA, Nagle S, Moonis G. A subjective and objective comparison of tissue contrast and imaging artifacts present in routine spin echoes and in iterative decomposition of asymmetric spin echoes for soft tissue neck MRI. Eur J Radiol 2018; 102:202-207. [PMID: 29685536 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2018.03.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2017] [Revised: 03/08/2018] [Accepted: 03/13/2018] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE FSE sequences play key roles in neck MRI despite the susceptibility issues in neck region. Iterative decomposition of asymmetric echoes (IDEAL, GE) is a promising method that separates fat and water images resulting in high SNR and improved fat suppression. We tested how neck tissue contrasts, image artifacts and fat separation as opposed to fat suppression in terms of image quality compare between routine and IDEAL FSE. METHODS IDEAL based and routine T1 and T2-weighted FSE sequences were applied for neck MRI at 1.5T and 3T. Overall image quality including fat suppression, tissue contrast, image artifacts and lesion conspicuity were subjectively assessed for 20 patients clinically indicated for neck MRI. Quantitative tissue contrast estimates from parotid area were compared between IDEAL and routine FSE for 7 patients. Four patients with oncocytoma were also reviewed to assess benefits of separately reconstructed fat specific image sets. RESULTS Subjective tissue contrast and overall image quality including image sharpness, fat suppression and image artifacts were superior for IDEAL sequences. For oncocytoma fat specific IDEAL images provided additional information. Objective CNR estimates from a central slice were equivalent for IDEAL and routine FSE at both field strengths. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that high SNR inherent in IDEAL FSE consistently translates into high tissue contrast with image quality advantages in neck anatomy where large susceptibility variation and physiological motions reduce image quality for conventional FSE T1 and T2. However, the objective contrast estimates for parotid gland at isocenter were statistically equivalent for IDEAL and conventional FSE perhaps because at or near isocenter routine FSE works well. Additionally, fat specific IDEAL image sets add to diagnostic specificity for fat deficient lesions.

J Magn Reson Imaging 2013; 38:663-70.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI-MRI) performed with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values for the detection of cervical lymphadenopathy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Studies evaluating DWI-MRI for the detection of cervical lymphadenopathy were systematically searched for in the MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cancerlit, and Cochrane Library and other database from January 1995 to November 2010. By node-based data analyses, Cochrane methodology was used for the results of this meta-analysis. RESULTS Eight studies enrolling a total of 229 individuals were eligible for inclusion. Significant differences were found between malignant nodes and benign nodes of the mean ADC value (WMD [weighted-mean difference]: 1.19, 95% CI: [1.02, 1.35] × 10(-3) mm(2) /s, [P < 0.05]). In the secondary outcomes, significant differences were found between lymphomatous nodes and benign nodes (WMD: 1.33, 95% CI: [0.89, 1.77] × 10(-3) mm(2) /s), and nodes originating from highly or moderately differentiated cancer (WMD: 0.24, 95% CI: [0.21, 0.28] × 10(-3) mm(2) /s, [P < 0.05]), and nodes originating from poorly differentiated cancers (WMD: 0.10, 95% CI: [0.06, 0.14] × 10(-3) mm(2) /s, [P < 0.05]). CONCLUSION DWI-MRI performed with ADC values shows significant differences among malignant nodes, lymphomatous nodes, and benign nodes in cervical lymphadenopathy.
