Echo intensity and gray-level co-occurrence matrix analysis of soft tissue grafting biomaterials and dental implants: an in vitro ultrasonographic pilot study. Dentomaxillofac Radiol 2023; 52:20230033. [PMID: 37427600 PMCID: PMC10552129 DOI: 10.1259/dmfr.20230033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2023] [Revised: 05/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/11/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize different allogeneic and xenogeneic soft tissue graft substitutes and to assess their echo intensity and grayscale texture-related outcomes by using high-frequency ultrasonography (HFUS). METHODS Ten samples from each of the following biomaterials were scanned using HFUS: bilayered collagen matrix (CM), cross-linked collagen matrix (CCM), multilayered cross-linked collagen matrix (MCCM), human-derived acellular dermal matrix (HADM), porcine-derived acellular dermal matrix (PADM), collagen tape dressing (C) and dental implants (IMPs). The obtained images were then imported in a commercially available software for grayscale analysis. First-order grayscale outcomes included mean echo intensity (EI), standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis, while second-order grayscale outcomes comprised entropy, contrast, correlation, energy and homogeneity derive from the gray-level co-occurrence matrix analysis. Descriptive statistics were performed for visualization of results, and one-way analysis of variance with Bonferroni post-hoc tests were performed to relative assessments of the biomaterials. RESULTS The statistical analysis revealed a statistically significant difference among the groups for EI (p < .001), with the group C showing the lowest EI, and the IMP group presenting with the greatest EI values. All groups showed significantly higher EI when compared with C (p < .001). No significant differences were observed for energy, and correlation, while a statistically significant difference among the groups was found in terms of entropy (p < 0.01), contrast (p < .001) and homogeneity (p < .001). IMP exhibited the highest contrast, that was significantly higher than C, HADM, PADM, CCM and CM. CONCLUSIONS HFUS grayscale analysis can be applied to characterize the structure of different biomaterials and holds potential for translation to in-vivo assessment following soft tissue grafting-related procedures.

Abstract
Prostate cancer has a wide spectrum ranging between low-grade localized disease and castrate-resistant metastatic disease. Although whole gland and systematic therapies result in cure in the majority of patients, recurrent and metastatic prostate cancer can still occur. Imaging approaches including anatomic, functional, and molecular modalities are continuously expanding. Currently, recurrent and metastatic prostate cancer is grouped in three major categories: 1) Clinical concern for residual or recurrent disease after radical prostatectomy, 2) Clinical concern for residual or recurrent disease after nonsurgical local and pelvic treatments, and 3) Metastatic prostate cancer treated by systemic therapy (androgen deprivation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy). This document is a review of the current literature regarding imaging in these settings and the resulting recommendations for imaging. The American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria are evidence-based guidelines for specific clinical conditions that are reviewed annually by a multidisciplinary expert panel. The guideline development and revision include an extensive analysis of current medical literature from peer reviewed journals and the application of well-established methodologies (RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation or GRADE) to rate the appropriateness of imaging and treatment procedures for specific clinical scenarios. In those instances where evidence is lacking or equivocal, expert opinion may supplement the available evidence to recommend imaging or treatment.

Abstract
The clinical suspicion of local recurrence of prostate cancer (PCa) after radical prostatectomy (RP) and after radiation therapy (RT) is based on the onset of biochemical failure. The aim of this paper was to review the current role of multiparametric-MRI (mp-MRI) in the detection of locoregional recurrence. A systematic literature search using the Medline and Cochrane Library databases was performed from January 1995 up to November 2013. Bibliographies of retrieved and review articles were also examined. Only those articles reporting complete data with clinical relevance for the present review were selected. This review article is divided into two major parts: the first one considers the role of mp-MRI in the detection of PCa local recurrence after RP; the second part provides an insight about the impact of mp-MRI in the depiction of locoregional recurrence after RT (interstitial or external beam). Published data indicate an emerging role for mp-MRI in the detection and localization of locally recurrent PCa both after RP and RT which represents an information of paramount importance to perform focal salvage treatments.

Abstract
Approximately a third of men with localized prostate cancer who are treated with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) or radical prostatectomy (RP) develop biochemical failure (BF). Presumably, BF will progress to distant metastasis and prostate cancer-specific mortality in some patients over subsequent years. Accurate detection of recurrent disease is important because it allows for appropriate treatment selection (e.g., local vs systemic therapy) and early delivery of therapy (e.g., salvage EBRT), which affect patient outcome. In this article, we discuss the paradigm shift in imaging technology in the detection of recurrent prostate cancer. First, we discuss the commonly used morphological and anatomical imaging modalities and their role in the post-RP and post-EBRT settings of BF. Second, we discuss the accuracy of functional and molecular imaging techniques, many of which are under investigation. Further studies are needed to establish the role of imaging techniques for detection of cancer recurrence and clinical decision-making.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Imaging of prostate carcinoma is an important adjunct to clinical evaluation and prostate specific antigen measurement for detecting metastases and tumor recurrence. In the past, the ability to assess intraprostatic tumor was limited. METHODS Pertinent literature was reviewed to describe the capabilities and limitations of the currently available imaging techniques for assessing prostate carcinoma. Evaluation of primary tumor and metastatic disease by ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear medicine techniques is discussed. RESULTS Ultrasonography and MRI have limited usefulness for local staging of prostate cancer because of suboptimal sensitivity and specificity for identifying tumor extent and capsular penetration. Additional MRI techniques such as magnetic resonance-based perfusion imaging, diffusion imaging, and spectroscopy may provide incremental benefit. CT and bone scanning provide an assessment of metastatic disease but are also limited by the poor sensitivity of lymph node size as a criterion for detecting metastases. Novel imaging techniques such as hybrid imaging devices in the form of single-photon emission CT/CT gamma cameras, positron emission tomography/CT cameras, and, in the near future, positron emission tomography/MRI combined with tumor specific imaging radiotracers may have a significant impact on tumor staging and treatment response. CONCLUSIONS Cross-sectional imaging and scintigraphy have an important role in assessing prostate carcinoma metastases and treatment response. Increasingly, the incremental value of primary tumor imaging through MRI is being realized.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in men and a leading cause of death. Accurate assessment is a prerequisite for optimal clinical management and therapy selection of prostate cancer. There are several parameters and nomograms to differentiate between patients with clinically insignificant disease and patients in need of treatment. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique which provides more detailed anatomical images due to high spatial resolution, superior contrast resolution, and multiplanar capability. State-of-the-art MRI techniques, such as diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI), dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI), improve interpretation of prostate cancer imaging. In this article, we review the major role of MRI in the advanced management of prostate cancer to noninvasively improve tumor staging, biologic potential, treatment planning, therapy response, local recurrence, and to guide target biopsy for clinical suspected cancer with previous negative biopsy. Finally, future challenges and opportunities in prostate cancer management in the area of functional MRI are discussed as well.

ULTRASOUND IN MEDICINE & BIOLOGY 2013; 39:860-869.

Abstract
The purpose of this preclinical study was to perform a longitudinal investigation of the function and morphology of the vasculatures of primary and recurrent tumors, because recurrent tumors have lower curability. Thus, elucidating differences in the features of the vasculatures of primary and recurrent tumors could help to improve tumor therapies. The transgenic adenocarcinoma of the mouse prostate tumors were transplanted in nonirradiated and with 25 Gy of preirradiation normal tissues to produce the primary and recurrent tumor models, respectively. The perfusion and branching index of tumor vasculatures were characterized to reveal the function and morphology information, respectively. The blood vessels were more dilated and continuous in recurrent tumors than in primary tumors. During tumor progression, the perfusion increased in primary tumors but did not change significantly in recurrent tumors. The tumor perfusion was lower in recurrent tumors than in primary tumors, whereas branching index in 2-D ultrasound images did not differ between the two tumor models. Furthermore, the introducing 3-D volumetric power Doppler image may have the potential for accurately revealing the morphologic features within tumors. The results of this study suggest that power Doppler imaging is an easily applied and rapid method for noninvasively assessing the vascular features of primary and recurrent tumors and for exploring differences between their vasculature pathways.

Abstract
Although prostate cancer can be effectively treated, recurrent or residual disease after therapy is not uncommon and is usually detected by a rise in prostate-specific antigen. Patients with biochemical prostate-specific antigen relapse should undergo a prompt search for the presence of local recurrence or distant metastatic disease, each requiring different forms of therapy. Various imaging modalities and image-guided procedures may be used in the evaluation of these patients. Literature on the indications and usefulness of these radiologic studies and procedures in specific clinical settings is reviewed. The ACR Appropriateness Criteria(®) are evidence-based guidelines for specific clinical conditions that are reviewed every 2 years by a multidisciplinary expert panel. The guideline development and review include an extensive analysis of current medical literature from peer-reviewed journals and the application of a well-established consensus methodology (modified Delphi) to rate the appropriateness of imaging and treatment procedures by the panel. In those instances in which evidence is lacking or not definitive, expert opinion may be used to recommend imaging or treatment.

Abstract
Ultrasound is a widely used imaging modality for evaluation of the prostate. The main topic of diagnostic imaging is an improvement of prostate cancer diagnosis. The current available systematic prostate biopsy is performed only under ultrasound guidance, but new imaging techniques allow prostate cancer visualization and therefore improved detection. Evolving methods such as contrast-enhanced colour Doppler imaging, contrast-specific ultrasound techniques and elastography may dramatically change the role of ultrasound for prostate cancer diagnosis. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of ultrasound and its different techniques for imaging of the prostate and to discuss current trends and future directions.

Abstract
Prostatectomy is one of the most widely used methods for treatment of adenocarcinoma of the prostate. According to anatomopathological criteria, between 10 and 40% of patients will display biochemical relapse in the absence of adjuvant radiotherapy. Anatomopathological and biochemical criteria are powerful tools for selecting patients for salvage radiotherapy. The aim of this article is to review literature on the latest progress in radiological and nuclear medicine techniques and their performance levels, in order to determine local, regional and metastatic relapses associated with the techniques and specify the radiotherapy target volume. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) displays the best sensitivity and specificity for examination of the prostate bed and enables simultaneous assessment of the pelvic region - thus diminishing the utility of computed tomography. The performance levels of MRI will probably continue to improve, with the use of dynamic MRI and MR spectroscopy. Despite the development of new markers like (11)C and (18)F choline and acetate, the sensitivity of positron emission tomography is still low. Prospective studies with an appropriate methodology are necessary for specifying the technique's value in this context.

Abstract
The aim of this review is to provide a discussion of the diagnostic evaluation of biochemical recurrence following radical prostatectomy (RP) and an overview of the postoperative hormonal treatment (HT) options. As no randomized trials in the clinical setting of postoperative prostate-specific antigen recurrence have been reported, there is no conclusive evidence that HT after RP will prolong survival or reduce morbidity. Non-traditional approaches, such as intermittent androgen deprivation, non-steroidal anti-androgens and combination of finasteride and non-steroidal anti-androgen, are investigated and may be acceptable options. Combinations of HT with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy for treatment of recurrent prostate cancer are under study.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this article is to review novel MRI and nuclear medicine methods for detecting and planning salvage treatment for prostate cancer local recurrence after radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy. RECENT FINDINGS Traditional methods for detecting local recurrence (i.e., digital rectal exam or transrectal ultrasound and digital rectal exam or transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy) have limited accuracy in determining the presence and extent of local recurrence and therefore have limited ability to guide salvage therapy. Recent studies indicate that conventional T1 and T2-weighted prostate MRI could improve the detection of recurrent prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy and salvage treatment planning. Promising new sequences could further increase the accuracy of MRI. In addition, the use of technically improved PET/computed tomography scanners with new tracers like (11)C and (18)F choline and acetate might offer better assessment of recurrent prostate cancer than (18)F-2-fluoro-D-deoxyglucose-PET and monoclonal antibody imaging with the prostate specific membrane antigen antibody (111)In-capromab pendetide (ProstaScint). SUMMARY With systemic therapies for recurrent prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy being noncurative, the application of MRI and nuclear medicine modalities can help to identify patients who have isolated local recurrence amenable to salvage treatment.

Abstract
Prostate cancer is one of the most frequent malignant diseases in men. Despite constant progress achieved in imaging procedures, prostate biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing prostate cancer. For the assessment of lymph node status, only staging lymphadenectomy provides valid information. The aim of this work is to analyze the imaging procedures available in Germany and their value in primary and lymph node staging as well as biochemical recurrence.
