Abstract
Many promising study results as well as technical advances for chest magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have demonstrated its academic and clinical potentials during the last few decades, although chest MRI has been used for relatively few clinical situations in routine clinical practice. However, the Fleischner Society as well as the Japanese Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine have published a few white papers to promote chest MRI in routine clinical practice. In this review, we present clinical evidence of the efficacy of chest MRI for 1) thoracic oncology and 2) pulmonary vascular diseases.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Since lung magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) became clinically available, limited clinical utility has been suggested for applying MRI to lung diseases. Moreover, clinical applications of MRI for patients with lung diseases or thoracic oncology may vary from country to country due to clinical indications, type of health insurance, or number of MR units available. Because of this situation, members of the Fleischner Society and of the Japanese Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine have published new reports to provide appropriate clinical indications for lung MRI. This review article presents a brief history of lung MRI in terms of its technical aspects and major clinical indications, such as (1) what is currently available, (2) what is promising but requires further validation or evaluation, and (3) which developments warrant research-based evaluations in preclinical or patient studies. We hope this article will provide Investigative Radiology readers with further knowledge of the current status of lung MRI and will assist them with the application of appropriate protocols in routine clinical practice.

Abstract
Cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1 (CYFRA21-1) is a protein fragment dissolved in the blood after apoptosis of lung epithelial cells, which is a predictive biomarker for the diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Detection of serum CYFRA21-1 has a significant clinical value in diagnosis, monitoring and prognosis of NSCLC. Herein, a novel electrochemical immunosensor was constructed for the sensitive detection of CYFRA21-1. First, superconductive carbon black (KB) functionalized polyethyleneimine (PEI)-gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were covered on the surface of methylene blue (MB) and used as substrate materials to immobilize the CYFRA21-1 antibody. Then, target CYFRA21-1 was successfully detected using an electrochemical immunosensor through specific recognition of antigen and antibody. The zirconium-based metal organic framework of PCN-222(Fe) with a large pore size and three-dimensional (3D) structure can absorb abundant AuNPs through strong electrostatic interaction, which enhances the conductive properties of PCN-222(Fe) and prevents the self-aggregation of AuNPs. However, PCN-222(Fe) with peroxidase-like activity can catalyze the generation of hydroxyl free radicals (˙OH) from H2O2, which oxidized MB, leading to a decrease in the current signal. The signal response to the degradation of MB was recorded using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). This indirect method of immunosensor offered a new strategy to address the limitations imposed by the poor conductivity of PCN-222(Fe), further enabling the amplification of the signal through the oxidative degradation of MB. Compared with traditional electrochemical immunosensors, this method has the advantages of a stable current signal and good reproducibility, providing a promising reference for the broad application of PCN-222(Fe) in electrochemical biosensors.

[PMID: 37568918 PMCID: PMC10417371 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13152555] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2023] [Revised: 07/19/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND the objective of this study is to evaluate the predictive power of the survival model using deep learning of diffusion-weighted images (DWI) in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS DWI at b-values of 0, 100, and 700 sec/mm2 (DWI0, DWI100, DWI700) were preoperatively obtained for 100 NSCLC patients who underwent curative surgery (57 men, 43 women; mean age, 62 years). The ADC0-100 (perfusion-sensitive ADC), ADC100-700 (perfusion-insensitive ADC), ADC0-100-700, and demographic features were collected as input data and 5-year survival was collected as output data. Our survival model adopted transfer learning from a pre-trained VGG-16 network, whereby the softmax layer was replaced with the binary classification layer for the prediction of 5-year survival. Three channels of input data were selected in combination out of DWIs and ADC images and their accuracies and AUCs were compared for the best performance during 10-fold cross validation. RESULTS 66 patients survived, and 34 patients died. The predictive performance was the best in the following combination: DWI0-ADC0-100-ADC0-100-700 (accuracy: 92%; AUC: 0.904). This was followed by DWI0-DWI700-ADC0-100-700, DWI0-DWI100-DWI700, and DWI0-DWI0-DWI0 (accuracy: 91%, 81%, 76%; AUC: 0.889, 0.763, 0.711, respectively). Survival prediction models trained with ADC performed significantly better than the one trained with DWI only (p-values < 0.05). The survival prediction was improved when demographic features were added to the model with only DWIs, but the benefit of clinical information was not prominent when added to the best performing model using both DWI and ADC. CONCLUSIONS Deep learning may play a role in the survival prediction of lung cancer. The performance of learning can be enhanced by inputting precedented, proven functional parameters of the ADC instead of the original data of DWIs only.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma is a rare benign neoplasm. Owing to the low incidence, its radiographic features on 18 F-FDG PET/MRI are not well-known. Herein, we described findings of pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma on 18 F-FDG PET/MRI in a 52-year-old woman. It showed moderate FDG uptake and hyperintensity signal on both T1WI and T2WI images.

Abstract
We investigated the association of T1/T2 mapping values with programmed death-ligand 1 protein (PD-L1) expression in lung cancer and their potential in distinguishing between different histological subtypes of non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). Thirty-five patients diagnosed with stage III NSCLC from April 2021 to December 2022 were included. Conventional MRI sequences were acquired with a 1.5 T system. Mean T1 and T2 mapping values were computed for six manually traced ROIs on different areas of the tumor. Data were analyzed through RStudio. Correlation between T1/T2 mapping values and PD-L1 expression was studied with a Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test. A Kruskal-Wallis test with a post-hoc Dunn test was used to study the correlation between T1/T2 mapping values and the histological subtypes: squamocellular carcinoma (SCC), adenocarcinoma (ADK), and poorly differentiated NSCLC (PD). There was no statistically significant correlation between T1/T2 mapping values and PD-L1 expression in NSCLC. We found statistically significant differences in T1 mapping values between ADK and SCC for the periphery ROI (p-value 0.004), the core ROI (p-value 0.01), and the whole tumor ROI (p-value 0.02). No differences were found concerning the PD NSCLCs.

Falchi M, Rotundo S, Brizi D, Monorchio A. Analysis and design of holographic magnetic metasurfaces in the very near field for sensing applications at quasi-static regime. Sci Rep 2023; 13:9220. [PMID: 37286725 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-36452-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Accepted: 06/03/2023] [Indexed: 06/09/2023] Open
Abstract
In this paper, we present a novel low-frequency sensing solution based on the manipulation of the near-field distribution by employing a passive holographic magnetic metasurface, excited by an active RF coil placed in its reactive region. In particular, the sensing capability is based on the interaction between the magnetic field distribution produced by the radiating system and the magneto-dielectric inhomogeneities eventually present within the material under test. We first start from conceiving the geometrical set-up of the metasurface and its driving RF coil, adopting a low operative frequency (specifically 3 MHz) to consider a quasi-static regime and able to increase the penetration depth within the sample. Afterwards, since the sensing spatial resolution and performance can be modulated by controlling the metasurface properties, the required holographic magnetic field mask, describing the ideal distribution at a specific plane, is designed. Then, the amplitude and phase of currents, flowing in each metasurface unit-cell and required to synthetize the field mask, are determined through an optimization technique. Next, the capacitive loads necessary to accomplish the planned behavior are retrieved, by exploiting the metasurface impedance matrix. Finally, experimental measurements conducted on fabricated prototypes validated the numerical results, confirming the efficacy of the proposed approach to detect inhomogeneities in a medium with a magnetic inclusion in a non-destructive manner. The findings show that holographic magnetic metasurfaces operating in the quasi-static regime can be successfully employed for non-destructive sensing, both in industrial and biomedical fields, despite the extremely low frequencies.

Abstract
Since the Radiology Diagnostic Oncology Group (RDOG) report had been published in 1991, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging had limited clinical availability for thoracic malignancy, as well as pulmonary diseases. However, technical advancements in MR systems, such as sequence and reconstruction methods, and adjustments in the clinical protocol for gadolinium contrast media administration have provided fruitful results and validated the utility of MR imaging (MRI) for lung cancer evaluations. These techniques include: (1) contrast-enhanced MR angiography for T-factor evaluation, (2) short-time inversion recovery turbo spin-echo sequences as well as diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for N-factor assessment, and (3) whole-body MRI with and without DWI and with positron emission tomography fused with MRI for M-factor or TNM stage evaluation as well as for postoperative recurrence assessment of lung cancer or other thoracic tumors using 1.5 tesla (T) or 3T systems. According to these fruitful results, the Fleischner Society has changed its position to approve of MRI for lung or thoracic diseases. The purpose of this review is to analyze recent advances in lung MRI with a particular focus on lung cancer evaluation, clinical staging, and recurrence assessment evaluation.

Abstract
Background There have been conflicting results regarding fluorine 18-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/MRI diagnostic performance in lung malignant neoplasms. Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic performance of 18F-FDG PET/MRI for the detection of pulmonary malignant neoplasms. Materials and Methods A systematic search was conducted within the Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed databases until December 31, 2021. Published original articles that met the following criteria were considered eligible for meta-analysis: (a) detecting malignant lesions in the lung, (b) comparing 18F-FDG PET/MRI with a valid reference standard, and (c) providing data for the meta-analytic calculations. A hierarchical method was used to pool the performances. The bivariate model was used to find the summary points and 95% CIs. The hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic model was used to draw the summary receiver operating characteristic curve and calculate the area under the curve. The Higgins I2 statistic and Cochran Q test were used for heterogeneity assessment. Results A total of 43 studies involving 1278 patients met the inclusion criteria and were included in the meta-analysis. 18F-FDG PET/MRI had a pooled sensitivity and specificity of 96% (95% CI: 84, 99) and 100% (95% CI: 98, 100), respectively. 18F-FDG PET/CT had a pooled sensitivity and specificity of 99% (95% CI: 61, 100) and 99% (95% CI: 94, 100), respectively, which were comparable with those of 18F-FDG PET/MRI. At meta-regression, studies in which contrast media (P = .03) and diffusion-weighted imaging (P = .04) were used as a part of a pulmonary 18F-FDG PET/MRI protocol showed significantly higher sensitivities. Conclusion Fluorine 18-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/MRI was found to be accurate and comparable with 18F-FDG PET/CT in the detection of malignant pulmonary lesions, with significantly improved sensitivity when advanced acquisition protocols were used. © RSNA, 2023 Supplemental material is available for this article.

Indian J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2023; 39:42-52.

Abstract
This narrative review compares the advantages and drawbacks of imaging and other investigation modalities which currently assist with lung cancer diagnosis and staging, as well as those which are not routinely indicated for this. We examine plain film radiography, computed tomography (CT) (alone, as well as in conjunction with positron emission tomography (PET)), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and newer techniques such as image-guided bronchoscopy (IGB) and robotic bronchoscopy (RB). While a chest X-ray is the first-line imaging investigation in patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of lung cancer, it has a high positive predictive value (PPV) even after negative X-ray findings, which calls into question its value as part of a potential national screening programme. CT lowers the mortality for high-risk patients when compared to X-ray and certain scoring systems, such as the Brock model can guide the need for further imaging, like PET-CT, which has high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing solitary pulmonary nodules as malignant, as well as for assessing small cell lung cancer spread. In practice, PET-CT is offered to everyone whose lung cancer is to be treated with a curative intent. In contrast, MRI is only recommended for isolated distant metastases. Similarly, ultrasound imaging is not used for diagnosis of lung cancer but can be useful when there is suspicion of intrathoracic lymph node involvement. Ultrasound imaging in the form of endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) is often used to aid tissue sampling, yet the diagnostic value of this technique varies widely between studies. RB is another novel technique that offers an alternative way to biopsy lesions, but further research on it is necessary. Lastly, thoracic surgical biopsies, particularly minimally invasive video-assisted techniques, have been used increasingly to aid in diagnosis and staging.

[PMID: 36428726 PMCID: PMC9688282 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14225634] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2022] [Revised: 11/12/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aims to investigate the correlation between intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI) parameters in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Twenty-one patients diagnosed with stage III NSCLC from April 2021 to April 2022 were included. The tumors were distinguished into two groups: no PD-L1 expression (<1%), and positive PD-L1 expression (≥1%). Conventional MRI and IVIM-DWI sequences were acquired with a 1.5-T system. Both fixed-size ROIs and freehand segmentations of the tumors were evaluated, and the data were analyzed through a software using four different algorithms. The diffusion (D), pseudodiffusion (D*), and perfusion fraction (pf) were obtained. The correlation between IVIM parameters and PD-L1 expression was studied with Pearson correlation coefficient. The Wilcoxon−Mann−Whitney test was used to study IVIM parameter distributions in the two groups. Twelve patients (57%) had PD-L1 ≥1%, and 9 (43%) <1%. There was a statistically significant correlation between D* values and PD-L1 expression in images analyzed with algorithm 0, for fixed-size ROIs (189.2 ± 65.709 µm²/s × 104 in no PD-L1 expression vs. 122.0 ± 31.306 µm²/s × 104 in positive PD-L1 expression, p = 0.008). The values obtained with algorithms 1, 2, and 3 were not significantly different between the groups. The IVIM-DWI MRI parameter D* can reflect PD-L1 expression in NSCLC.

Abstract
Lung cancer is among the most common mortality causes worldwide. This scientific article is a comprehensive review of current knowledge regarding screening, subtyping, imaging, staging, and management of treatment response for lung cancer. The traditional imaging modality for screening and initial lung cancer diagnosis is computed tomography (CT). Recently, a dual-energy CT was proven to enhance the categorization of variable pulmonary lesions. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) recommends usage of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) in concert with CT to properly stage lung cancer and to prevent fruitless thoracotomies. Diffusion MR is an alternative to FDG PET/CT that is radiation-free and has a comparable diagnostic performance. For response evaluation after treatment, FDG PET/CT is a potent modality which predicts survival better than CT. Updated knowledge of lung cancer genomic abnormalities and treatment regimens helps to improve the radiologists’ skills. Incorporating the radiologic experience is crucial for precise diagnosis, therapy planning, and surveillance of lung cancer.

Abstract
Purpose To determine whether the pulmonary MR imaging with free-breathing radial 3D fat-suppressed T1-weighted gradient echo (r-VIBE) sequence can detect lung lesions and display lesion profiles with an accuracy comparable to that of computed tomography (CT), which is the reference standard in this study. Population Sixty-three consecutive patients were prospectively enrolled between October, 2016 and March, 2017. All the patients received both 3T MRI scanning with a free-breathing r-VIBE sequence and chest standard CT. Morphologic features of lesions were evaluated by two radiologists with a 5-point system. Chest standard CT were used as reference standard. Weighted kappa analysis and chi-squared test were used to determine both inter-observer agreement and inter-method agreement. Results A total of 210 solid pulmonary nodules or masses and 1 ground-glass nodule were detected by CT. Compared to CT, r-VIBE correctly detected 95.7% of pulmonary nodules, including 100% of detection rate with diameter greater than 6 mm, 92.3% of pulmonary nodules with diameter between 4 and 6 mm, and 83.3% of pulmonary nodules with diameter less than 4 mm The inter-method agreements between r-VIBE and standard-dose CT were either “substantial” or “excellent” in the evaluation of following features of pulmonary nodules with diameter more than 10mm: including lobulation, spiculation, convergence of vessels, bubble-like attenuation, cavitation and mediastinal lymph node enlargement (0.605≤K≤1.000; P<0.0001). However, K values for inter-method agreements were significant but “moderate” or “poor” for evaluating pleural tag, halo, and calcification (0.355≤ K≤0.451; P<0.0001). Conclusion The use of pulmonary MR imaging with r-VIBE showed high detection rate of pulmonary nodules and inter-method agreement with CT. It is also useful for nodule morphologic assessment.

Abstract
Purpose To assess a 0.55-T MRI system for imaging lung disease and to compare image quality with clinical CT scans. Materials and Methods In this prospective study conducted between November 2018 and December 2019, respiratory-triggered T2-weighted turbo spin-echo MRI at 0.55 T was compared with clinical CT scans in 24 participants (mean age, 59 years ± 16 [standard deviation]; 18 women) with common lung abnormalities. MR images were reviewed and scored by experienced readers. Abnormal findings identified with MRI and CT were compared using the Cohen κ statistic. Results High-quality structural pulmonary MR images were attained with an average acquisition time of 11 minutes ± 3. MRI generated sufficient image quality to robustly detect bronchiectasis (κ = 0.61), consolidative opacities (κ = 1.00), cavitary lesions (κ = 1.00), effusion (κ = 0.64), mucus plug (κ = 0.68), and solid scattered nodularity (κ = 0.82). Diffuse disease, including ground-glass opacities (κ = 0.57) and tree-in-bud nodules (κ = 0.48), were the findings that were most difficult to discern using MRI, with false readings in four of 18 patients for each feature. Nodule size, which was measured independently at CT and MRI, was strongly correlated (R 2 = 0.99) for nodules with a measurement of 10 mm ± 5 (range, 5-23 mm). Conclusion This initial study indicates that high-performance 0.55-T MRI holds promise in the evaluation of common lung disease.Clinical trials registration no.

Abstract
Since thoracic MR imaging was first used in a clinical setting, it has been suggested that MR imaging has limited clinical utility for thoracic diseases, especially lung diseases, in comparison with x-ray CT and positron emission tomography (PET)/CT. However, in many countries and states and for specific indications, MR imaging has recently become practicable. In addition, recently developed pulmonary MR imaging with ultra-short TE (UTE) and zero TE (ZTE) has enhanced the utility of MR imaging for thoracic diseases in routine clinical practice. Furthermore, MR imaging has been introduced as being capable of assessing pulmonary function. It should be borne in mind, however, that these applications have so far been academically and clinically used only for healthy volunteers, but not for patients with various pulmonary diseases in Japan or other countries. In 2020, the Fleischner Society published a new report, which provides consensus expert opinions regarding appropriate clinical indications of pulmonary MR imaging for not only oncologic but also pulmonary diseases. This review article presents a brief history of MR imaging for thoracic diseases regarding its technical aspects and major clinical indications in Japan 1) in terms of what is currently available, 2) promising but requiring further validation or evaluation, and 3) developments warranting research investigations in preclinical or patient studies. State-of-the-art MR imaging can non-invasively visualize lung structural and functional abnormalities without ionizing radiation and thus provide an alternative to CT. MR imaging is considered as a tool for providing unique information. Moreover, prospective, randomized, and multi-center trials should be conducted to directly compare MR imaging with conventional methods to determine whether the former has equal or superior clinical relevance. The results of these trials together with continued improvements are expected to update or modify recommendations for the use of MRI in near future.

Abstract
Overexpression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is closely associated with a poor prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), thus making it a promising biomarker for NSCLC diagnosis. Here, we conjugated a single-chain antibody (scFv) targeting EGFR with Fe3O4/Au nanoparticles to form an EGFR-specific molecular MRI bioprobe (scFv@Fe3O4/Au) to better detect EGFR-positive NSCLC tumors in vivo. In vitro, we demonstrated that the EGFR-specific scFv could specifically deliver Fe3O4/Au to EGFR-positive NSCLC cells. In vivo experiments showed that the accumulation of scFv@Fe3O4/Au in tumor tissue was detectable by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at the indicated time points after systemic injection. The T2W signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of EGFR-positive SPC-A1 tumors was significantly decreased after scFv@Fe3O4/Au injection, which was not observed in the tumors of mice injected with BSA@Fe3O4/Au. Furthermore, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis showed the specific localization of scFv@Fe3O4/Au in the SPC-A1 tumor cell cytoplasm. Collectively, the results of our study demonstrated that scFv@Fe3O4/Au might be a useful probe for the noninvasive diagnosis of EGFP-positive NSCLC.

Abstract
Over the past decade, the growing interest in targeted lung cancer therapy has guided researchers toward the cutting edge of controlled drug delivery, particularly magnetic particle targeting. Targeting of tissues by magnetic particles has tackled several limitations of traditional drug delivery methods for both cancer detection (e.g., using magnetic resonance imaging) and therapy. Delivery of magnetic particles offers the key advantage of high efficiency in the local deposition of drugs in the target tissue with the least harmful effect on other healthy tissues. This review first overviews clinical aspects of lung morphology and pathogenesis as well as clinical features of lung cancer. It is followed by reviewing the advances in using magnetic particles for diagnosis and therapy of lung cancers: (i) a combination of magnetic particle targeting with MRI imaging for diagnosis and screening of lung cancers, (ii) magnetic drug targeting (MDT) through either intravenous injection and pulmonary delivery for lung cancer therapy, and (iii) computational simulations that models new and effective approaches for magnetic particle drug delivery to the lung, all supporting improved lung cancer treatment. The review further discusses future opportunities to improve the clinical performance of MDT for diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer and highlights clinical therapy application of the MDT as a new horizon to cure with minimal side effects a wide variety of lung diseases and possibly other acute respiratory syndromes (COVID-19, MERS, and SARS).

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in both men and women. The major risk factor for lung cancer is personal tobacco smoking, particularly for small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and squamous cell lung cancers, but other significant risk factors include exposure to secondhand smoke, environmental radon, occupational exposures, and air pollution. Education and socioeconomic status affect both incidence and outcomes. Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), including adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma, comprises about 85% of lung cancers. SCLC accounts for approximately 13% to 15% of cases. Prognosis is directly related to stage at presentation. NSCLC is staged using the eighth edition of the tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) criteria of the American Joint Committee on Cancer. For SCLC the eighth edition of TNM staging is recommended to be used in conjunction with the modified Veterans Administration Lung Study Group classification system distinguishing limited stage from extensive stage SCLC. 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
OBJECTIVE This study investigated ultrashort echo time (UTE) sequences in 1.5 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for small lung nodule detection. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 120 patients with 165 small lung nodules before video-associated thoracoscopic resection were enrolled. MRI sequences included conventional volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination (VIBE, scan time 16 s), spiral UTE (TE 0.05 ms) with free-breathing (scan time 3.5-5 min), and breath-hold sequences (scan time 20 s). Chest CT provided a standard reference for nodule size and morphology. Nodule detection sensitivity was evaluated on a lobe-by-lobe basis. RESULTS The nodule detection rate was significantly higher in spiral UTE free-breathing (> 78%, p < 0.05) and breath-hold sequences (> 75%, p < 0.05) compared with conventional VIBE (> 55%), reaching 100% when nodule size was > 16 mm, and reaching 95% when nodules were in solid morphology, regardless of size. The inter-sequence reliability between free-breathing and breath-hold spiral UTE was good (κ > 0.80). Inter-reader agreement was also high (κ > 0.77) for spiral UTE sequences. Nodule size measurements were consistent between CT and spiral UTE MRI, with a minimal bias up to 0.2 mm. DISCUSSION Spiral UTE sequences detect small lung nodules that warrant surgery, offers realistic scan times for clinical work, and could be implemented as part of routine lung MRI.

Abstract
Background To assess the feasibility of various magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences for the detection of pulmonary nodules by comparing the detection rate of computed tomography (CT). Methods Forty-two patients with pulmonary nodules detected by multi-slice CT (MSCT) were prospectively enrolled in the present study between November 2016 and February 2017. Chest MRI was acquired within 24 h of CT. The MRI protocol included free-breathing radial VIBE (r-VIBE) and a conventional breathhold T1-weighted VIBE (C-VIBE) were analyzed by two independent radiologists. Both detection and morphology results of each MRI image were recorded. Subjective image evaluation in terms of overall nodule morphology on the MRI images was carried out using the 4-point scoring criteria. The MRI results were compared with those from CT, with the results of MSCT serving as the reference standard. Results Two hundred and fifty-eight solid pulmonary nodules in 42 patients were detected by CT. The r-VIBE correctly detected 94% of the pulmonary nodules as compared with CT. The detection rate increased to 100% for lesions ≥6 mm. The C-VIBE had a lower overall detection rate (64.3%) of pulmonary nodules. The difference in the subjective image evaluation scores between the two sequences was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Conclusion Significantly increased detection rates were obtained with free-breathing r-VIBE as compared with C-VIBE for the detection of pulmonary nodules and also provided more information when evaluating the nodules as compared with C-VIBE.

NANOSCALE RESEARCH LETTERS 2018; 13:380. [PMID: 30483904 PMCID: PMC6258593 DOI: 10.1186/s11671-018-2797-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2018] [Accepted: 11/13/2018] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Enhanced MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) plays a vital role in the early detection of tumor but with low specificity. Molecular imaging of angiogenesis could efficiently deliver contrast agents to the tumor site by specific targeted carriers. We designed and synthesized dual-targeted paramagnetic liposomes functionalized with two angiogenesis-targeting ligands, the αVβ3 integrin-specific RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) and the neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) receptor-specific ATWLPPR (Ala-Thr-Trp-Leu-Pro-Pro-Arg) (A7R). These liposomes were proved to be in the nanoparticle range and demonstrated to effectively encapsulate paramagnetic MRI contrast agents Gd-DTPA (gadolinium-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid). T1 relaxivity of various liposome formulations was lower than pure Gd-DTPA but with no statistically significant difference. In vitro cellular uptake and competitive inhibition assay showed the higher binding affinity of dual-targeted liposomes to HUVECs (human umbilical vein endothelial cells) and A549 cells compared with pure Gd-DTPA, non-targeted, and single-targeted liposomes, which was proved to be mediated by the binding of RGD/ανβ3-integrin and A7R/NRP1. For MR imaging of mice bearing A549 cells in vivo, dual-targeted liposomes reached the highest SER (signal enhancement rate) value with a significant difference at all experimental time points. It was about threefold increase compared to pure Gd-DTPA and non-targeted liposomes and was 1.5-fold of single-targeted liposomes at 2 h post injection. The SER was lowered gradually and decreased only by 40% of the peak value in 6 h. Dual-targeted liposomes were likely to exert a synergistic effect and the specificity of delivering Gd-DTPA to the tumor site. Therefore, dual-ανβ3-integrin-NRP1-targeting paramagnetic liposome with a RGD-ATWLPPR heterodimeric peptide might be a potent system for molecular imaging of tumor.

Abstract
Purpose To perform a meta-analysis of the literature to compare the diagnostic performance of fluorine 18 fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT and diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI in the differentiation of malignant and benign pulmonary nodules and masses. Materials and Methods Published English-language studies on the diagnostic accuracy of PET/CT and/or DW MRI in the characterization of pulmonary lesions were searched in relevant databases through December 2017. The primary focus was on studies in which joint DW MRI and PET/CT were performed in the entire study population, to reduce interstudy heterogeneity. For DW MRI, lesion-to-spinal cord signal intensity ratio and apparent diffusion coefficient were evaluated; for PET/CT, maximum standard uptake value was evaluated. The pooled sensitivities, specificities, diagnostic odds ratios, and areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUCs) for PET/CT and DW MRI were determined along with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results Thirty-seven studies met the inclusion criteria, with a total of 4224 participants and 4463 lesions (3090 malignant lesions [69.2%]). In the primary analysis of joint DW MRI and PET/CT studies (n = 6), DW MRI had a pooled sensitivity and specificity of 83% (95% CI: 75%, 89%) and 91% (95% CI: 80%, 96%), respectively, compared with 78% (95% CI: 70%, 84%) (P = .01 vs DW MRI) and 81% (95% CI: 72%, 88%) (P = .056 vs DW MRI) for PET/CT. DW MRI yielded an AUC of 0.93 (95% CI: 0.90, 0.95), versus 0.86 (95% CI: 0.83, 0.89) for PET/CT (P = .001). The diagnostic odds ratio of DW MRI (50 [95% CI: 19, 132]) was superior to that of PET/CT (15 [95% CI: 7, 32]) (P = .006). Conclusion The diagnostic performance of diffusion-weighted MRI is comparable or superior to that of fluorine 18 fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT in the differentiation of malignant and benign pulmonary lesions. © RSNA, 2018 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

Abstract
Radiologists in any practice setting should be prepared to use thoracic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for noncardiac and nonangiographic applications. This begins with understanding the sequence building blocks that can be used to design effective thoracic MR imaging protocols. In most instances, the sequences used in thoracic MR imaging are adapted from protocols used elsewhere in the body. Some modifications, including the addition of electrocardiographic gating or respiratory triggering, may be necessary for certain applications. Once protocols are in place, recognition of clinical scenarios in which thoracic MR imaging can provide value beyond other imaging modalities is essential. MR imaging is particularly beneficial in evaluating for benign features in indeterminate lesions. In lesions that are suspected to be composed of fluid, including mediastinal cysts and lesions composed of dilated lymphatics, MR imaging can confirm the presence of fluid and absence of suspicious enhancement. It can also be used to evaluate for intravoxel lipid, a finding seen in benign residual thymic tissue and thymic hyperplasia. Because of its excellent contrast resolution and potential for subtraction images, MR imaging can interrogate local treatment sites for the development of recurrent tumor on a background of post-treatment changes. In addition to characterization of lesions, thoracic MR imaging can be useful in surgical and treatment planning. By identifying nodular sites of enhancement or areas of diffusion restriction within cystic or necrotic lesions, MR imaging can be used to direct sites for biopsy. MR imaging can help evaluate for local tumor invasion with the application of "real-time" cine sequences to determine whether a lesion is adherent to an adjacent structure or surface. Finally, MR imaging is the modality of choice for imaging potential tumor thrombus. By understanding the role of MR imaging in these clinical scenarios, radiologists can increase the use of thoracic MR imaging for the benefit of improved decision making in the care of patients. ©RSNA, 2018.

Abstract
Clinical PET/MR imaging is currently performed at a number of centers around the world as part of routine standard of care. This article focuses on issues and considerations for a clinical PET/MR imaging program, focusing on routine standard-of-care studies. Although local factors influence how clinical PET/MR imaging is implemented, the approaches and considerations described here intend to apply to most clinical programs. PET/MR imaging provides many more options than PET/computed tomography with diagnostic advantages for certain clinical applications but with added complexity. A recurring theme is matching the PET/MR imaging protocol to the clinical application to balance diagnostic accuracy with efficiency.

Abstract
The advent of the 8th edition of the lung cancer staging system reflects a further meticulous evidence-based advance in the stratification of the survival of patients with lung cancer. Although addressing many limitations of earlier staging systems, several limitations in staging remain. This article reviews from a radiological perspective the limitations of the current staging system, highlighting the process of TNM restructuring, the residual issues with regards to the assignment of T, N, M descriptors, and their associated stage groupings and how these dilemmas impact guidance of multidisciplinary teams taking care of patients with lung cancer.

Abstract
Proton therapy is a promising but challenging treatment modality for the management of lung cancer. The technical challenges are due to respiratory motion, low dose tolerance of adjacent normal tissue and tissue density heterogeneity. Different imaging modalities are applied at various steps of lung proton therapy to provide information on target definition, target motion, proton range, patient setup and treatment outcome assessment. Imaging data is used to guide treatment design, treatment delivery, and treatment adaptation to ensure the treatment goal is achieved. This review article will summarize and compare various imaging techniques that can be used in every step of lung proton therapy to address these challenges.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) has been shown to be a promising technique for assessing lung lesions. However, DCE-MRI often suffers from motion artifacts and insufficient imaging speed. Therefore, highly accelerated free-breathing DCE-MRI is of clinical interest for lung exams. PURPOSE To test the performance of rapid free-breathing DCE-MRI for simultaneous qualitative and quantitative assessment of pulmonary lesions using Golden-angle RAdial Sparse Parallel (GRASP) imaging. STUDY TYPE Prospective. POPULATION Twenty-six patients (17 males, mean age = 55.1 ± 14.4) with known pulmonary lesions. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE 3T MR scanner; a prototype fat-saturated, T1 -weighted stack-of-stars golden-angle radial sequence for data acquisition and a Cartesian breath-hold volumetric-interpolated examination (BH-VIBE) sequence for comparison. ASSESSMENT After a dual-mode GRASP reconstruction, one with 3-second temporal resolution (3s-GRASP) and the other with 15-second temporal resolution (15s-GRASP), all GRASP and BH-VIBE images were pooled together for blind assessment by two experienced radiologists, who independently scored the overall image quality, lesion delineation, overall artifact level, and diagnostic confidence of each case. Perfusion analysis was performed for the 3s-GRASP images using a Tofts model to generate the volume transfer coefficient (Ktrans ) and interstitial volume (Ve ). STATISTICAL TESTS Nonparametric paired two-tailed Wilcoxon signed-rank test; Cohen's kappa; unpaired Student's t-test. RESULTS 15s-GRASP achieved comparable image quality with conventional BH-VIBE (P > 0.05), except for the higher overall artifact level in the precontrast phase (P = 0.018). The Ktrans and Ve in inflammation were higher than those in malignant lesions (Ktrans : 0.78 ± 0.52 min-1 vs. 0.37 ± 0.22 min-1 , P = 0.020; Ve : 0.36 ± 0.16 vs. 0.26 ± 0.1, P = 0.177). Also, the Ktrans and Ve in malignant lesions were also higher than those in benign lesions (Ktrans : 0.37 ± 0.22 min-1 vs. 0.04 ± 0.04 min-1 , P = 0.001; Ve : 0.26 ± 0.12 vs. 0.10 ± 0.00, P = 0.063). DATA CONCLUSION This feasibility study demonstrated the performance of high spatiotemporal resolution free-breathing DCE-MRI of the lung using GRASP for qualitative and quantitative assessment of pulmonary lesions.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. Novel lung cancer targeted therapeutic and molecular imaging agents are needed to improve outcomes and enable personalized care. Since these agents typically cannot cross the plasma membrane while carrying cytotoxic payload or imaging contrast, discovery of cell-surface targets is a necessary initial step. Herein, we report the discovery and characterization of lung cancer cell-surface markers for use in development of targeted agents. To identify putative cell-surface markers, existing microarray gene expression data from patient specimens were analyzed to select markers with differential expression in lung cancer compared to normal lung. Greater than 200 putative cell-surface markers were identified as being overexpressed in lung cancers. Ten cell-surface markers (CA9, CA12, CXorf61, DSG3, FAT2, GPR87, KISS1R, LYPD3, SLC7A11 and TMPRSS4) were selected based on differential mRNA expression in lung tumors vs. non-neoplastic lung samples and other normal tissues, and other considerations involving known biology and targeting moieties. Protein expression was confirmed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining and scoring of patient tumor and normal tissue samples. As further validation, marker expression was determined in lung cancer cell lines using microarray data and Kaplan–Meier survival analyses were performed for each of the markers using patient clinical data. High expression for six of the markers (CA9, CA12, CXorf61, GPR87, LYPD3, and SLC7A11) was significantly associated with worse survival. These markers should be useful for the development of novel targeted imaging probes or therapeutics for use in personalized care of lung cancer patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare dual-phase dual-energy CT (DE-CT) with FDG-PET/CT for predicting histopathological locoregional invasiveness of non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). MATERIALS AND METHODS We selected 63 consecutive patients with NSCLC lesions (37 males, 26 females; age range, 44-85 years; mean age, 69 years) who were evaluated preoperatively by both DE-CT and PET/CT at our institution. Postoperative microscopic invasiveness (lymphatic permeation, vascular invasion, and/or pleural involvement) was reviewed, and we defined locoregionally invasive tumors as those that had at least one positive finding of microscopic invasiveness. DE-CT scanning in the arterial and delayed phases was performed after injection of iodinated contrast media using 140-kVp and 80-kVp tube voltages. Three-dimensional iodine-related attenuation of primary tumors in the arterial and delayed phases was quantified automatically using "syngo Dual Energy Lung Nodules" application software, and the ratio of arterial phase to delayed phase enhancement (A/D ratio) was calculated. The A/D ratio and SUVmax on PET/CT were evaluated with respect to postoperative invasiveness by univariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS The A/D ratio was significantly correlated with lymphatic permeation, vascular invasion, and pleural involvement (p=0.011, p=0.021, and p=0.010, respectively). In contrast, the SUVmax was significantly correlated with pleural involvement (p=0.020) but not with lymphatic permeation or vascular invasion (p=0.088 and p=0.100, respectively). In the subgroup of patients with lesion diameters ≤2cm, the A/D ratio was significantly correlated with locoregional invasiveness (p=0.040), while the SUVmax was not (p=0.121). CONCLUSION For the prediction of microscopic invasiveness of NSCLCs, the diagnostic performance of dual-phase DE-CT may be comparable to that of FDG-PET/CT.

Abstract
To evaluate the performance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compared to computed tomography (CT) in patients diagnosed with pulmonary mycosis. We prospectively included 21 patients diagnosed with pulmonary mycosis between January 2013 and October 2014. Inclusion criteria were presence of respiratory symptoms, histopathological diagnosis of mycosis and absence of mycosis treatment. Reviewers identified one predominant imaging pattern per patient: nodular, reticular or airspace pattern. Afterwards, all CT findings were analysed separately per lobe and compared to MRI. Nodular pattern was the most common found (CT: 76.20%; MRI: 80.96%), followed by airspace pattern (CT and MRI: 9.52%) and reticular (CT: 9.52%; MRI: 4.76%). Compared to CT, MRI performance varied according to radiological finding and pulmonary region. For nodules, MRI presented high sensitivity (100% [95% CI: 93.52-100]) and specificity (100% [95% CI: 92.00-100]). For bronchiectasis and septal thickening, there were poorer positive predictive values (33.33% [95% CI: 1.77-87.47]; and 83.33% [95% CI: 50.88-97.06] respectively). As specificity and negative predictive value had superior results than sensitivity and positive predictive value, rather than for diagnosis of this condition, MRI might be more considered for the follow-up of patients with pulmonary mycosis, an alternative to multiple radiation exposures with CT follow-up.

Abstract
The high soft tissue contrast of MR imaging enables superior tissue characterization of mediastinal masses, adding diagnostic specificity and often changing and benefiting clinical management. MR imaging can better discern cystic from solid content and can detect microscopic fat, hemorrhage, and fibrous content within lesions. In many cases, mediastinal MR imaging may prevent unnecessary diagnostic intervention. In other cases, MR imaging may indicate the optimal site for biopsy or the correct compartment for resection. Awareness of the efficacy of MR imaging with regard to mediastinal mass characterization and judicious MR imaging utilization should further improve patient care.

[PMID: 26638164 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-015-4125-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2015] [Revised: 10/13/2015] [Accepted: 11/16/2015] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate the diagnostic accuracy of signal intensity of the lesion-to-spinal cord ratio (LSR) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance imaging of pulmonary nodules suspicious for lung cancer in granulomatous lung disease-endemic regions. METHODS Forty-nine patients with indeterminate solitary pulmonary nodules detected by chest computed tomography and histopathologically confirmed diagnoses were included in the study. DW images were analysed semiquantitatively by focusing regions of interest on the lesion and spinal cord at the same level (for LSR calculation). ADCs were estimated from ratios of the two image signal intensities. Ratios of T1 and T2 signal intensity between nodules and muscle were calculated for comparison. RESULTS Mean ADCs ± standard deviations for lung cancer and benign lesions were 0.9 ± 0.2 and 1.3 ± 0.2 × 10(-3) mm(2)/s, respectively. Mean LSRs were 1.4 ± 0.3 for lung cancer and 1 ± 0.1 for benign lesions. ADCs and LSRs differed significantly between malignant and benign lesions (P < 0.001). Mean T2 signal intensity ratios also differed significantly between benign and malignant lesions (0.8 ± 0.2 vs. 1.6 ± 0.2; P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS DWI can help to differentiate malignant from benign lesions according to ADC and the LSR with good accuracy. KEY POINTS • DW imaging can help differentiate malignant from benign pulmonary nodules. • ADC and LSR signal intensities had only small overlap between malignant and benign pulmonary nodules. • Mean T2 signal intensity ratios differed significantly between benign and malignant lesions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to develop a new quantitative image feature analysis scheme and investigate its role along with two genomic biomarkers, namely protein expression of the excision repair cross-complementing 1 genes and a regulatory subunit of ribonucleotide reductase (RRM1), in predicting cancer recurrence risk of stage I nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients after surgery. METHODS By using chest computed tomography images, we developed a computer-aided detection scheme to segment lung tumors and computed tumor-related image features. After feature selection, we trained a Naïve Bayesian network-based classifier using eight image features and a multilayer perceptron classifier using two genomic biomarkers to predict cancer recurrence risk, respectively. Two classifiers were trained and tested using a dataset with 79 stage I NSCLC cases, a synthetic minority oversampling technique and a leave-one-case-out validation method. A fusion method was also applied to combine prediction scores of two classifiers. RESULTS Areas under ROC curves (AUC) values are 0.78 ± 0.06 and 0.68 ± 0.07 when using the image feature and genomic biomarker-based classifiers, respectively. AUC value significantly increased to 0.84 ± 0.05 ( ) when fusion of two classifier-generated prediction scores using an equal weighting factor. CONCLUSION A quantitative image feature-based classifier yielded significantly higher discriminatory power than a genomic biomarker-based classifier in predicting cancer recurrence risk. Fusion of prediction scores generated by the two classifiers further improved prediction performance. SIGNIFICANCE We demonstrated a new approach that has potential to assist clinicians in more effectively managing stage I NSCLC patients to reduce cancer recurrence risk.

Abstract
Primary lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality in the world. Thorough clinical staging of patients with lung cancer is important, because therapeutic options and management are to a considerable degree dependent on stage at presentation. Radiologic imaging is an essential component of clinical staging, including chest radiography in some cases, computed tomography, MRI, and PET. Multiplanar imaging modalities allow assessment of features that are important for surgical, oncologic, and radiation therapy planning, including size of the primary tumor, location and relationship to normal anatomic structures in the thorax, and existence of nodal and/or metastatic disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Primary lung cancer is still the number one cause of cancer death worldwide. Screening, detection and staging of lung cancer are important because the only potentially curative therapy today is surgical resection of early-stage lung cancer. RECENT FINDINGS Different imaging techniques can be used in these different processes. Recent advances in computed tomography (CT) technology have allowed investigation of novel methods for the evaluation of lung cancer. Recent advances in magnetic resonance technology and administration of contrast media have further improved the image quality and diagnostic capability of magnetic resonance. Positron emission tomography (PET)/CT has been shown to be superior to stand-alone PET or CT in the evaluation of lymph nodes and in the detection of distant metastases. SUMMARY The current recommended imaging required for lung cancer staging is CT of the thorax and PET/CT from skull base to mid-thigh. However, with the recent developments in the armamentarium of imaging techniques, the choice of one of these techniques can be directed by the presence of a technique in a local hospital and/or by the presence of an experienced person at that time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the appropriate parameters and evaluation method for characterizing solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs) using quantitative parameters of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). METHODS Thirty-two subjects with 36 SPNs underwent DWI with seven different b values (0, 50, 100, 150, 300, 500, and 1000s/mm(2)). Five quantitative parameters were obtained from the region of interest drawn over each SPN: apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs), true diffusion coefficients (DCs), and perfusion fractions (PFs), and signal-intensity ratios between lesion and spinal cord from DWI (b values: 1000 [LSR1000] and 500 [LSR500)]). All quantitative parameters and the diagnostic capabilities were statistically compared. RESULTS SPNs were diagnosed as follow: malignant (n=27) and benign (n=9). Parameter comparisons for malignant and benign showed both LSRs differed significantly (p<0.05). Applying feasible threshold values showed LSR500 specificity (88.9% [8/9]) and accuracy (77.8% [28/36]) were significantly higher than ADC, DC, and PF specificity and accuracy (p<0.05). LSR1000 accuracy (72.2% [26/36]) was significantly higher than DC accuracy, and its specificity (88.9% [8/9]) was significantly higher than ADC, DC, and PF specificities (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS For quantitative differentiation of SPNs, LSR evaluation was more useful and practical than ADC, DC, and PF, and choice of b values showed little impact for the differentiation.
