Hepatobiliary phase manifestations of breast cancer liver metastasis: differentiating molecular types through Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI
Abdominal Imaging 4 min.
Breast cancer has emerged as one of the most significant malignant conditions affecting women all over the world. Approximately 30–50% of patients may have metastases, notably to the bone, lung, liver, and other organs [1]. As much as 90% of cancer-related fatalities are attributed to metastasis...
Acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas: can CT and MR features predict survival?
Abdominal Imaging 4 min.
Pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma (pACC) is a rare pancreatic neoplasm, comprising less than 1% of all pancreatic malignancies and associated high mortality with a 5-year survival rate of 17.5% [1, 2]. The exocrine pancreas is largely composed of acinar tissue, but pancreatic neoplasms with acinar differentiation...
Morphological characterization of atypical pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma with cystic lesion on DCE-CT: a comprehensive retrospective study
Abdominal Imaging 5 min.
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis, marked by a dismal 5-year survival rate of less than 9% [1, 2]. Imaging techniques, including computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, are crucial in the detection and staging of PDAC,...
Development and validation of computer-aided detection for colorectal neoplasms using deep learning incorporated with computed tomography colonography
Abdominal Imaging 6 min.
The age-adjusted morbidity and mortality rates of colorectal cancer in Japan continue to be the leading cause of cancer death, although they are decreasing for women, however, those for men remain high [1]. This may be attributable to not only the aging of the population but also low medical examination...
To accurately predict lymph node metastasis in patients with mass-forming intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma by using CT radiomics features of tumor habitat subregions
Abdominal Imaging 6 min.
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), the second most common primary malignant tumor of the liver, accounts for approximately 15%−20% of primary liver cancers. Recently, its incidence has increased yearly, garnering increasing attention from the medical community [1, 2]. However, the invasiveness,...
