Mohamed Khaldoun Badawy, Michael Galea, Kam Mong, Udo Paul
AbstractIntroductionThis study aimed to raise awareness around the increased
effective dose as scan length chosen is increased from standard
protocolMethodsThe Monte Carlo‐based software CT‐Expo (G. Stamm (Medizinische
Hochschule Hannover, Hannover, Germany) and H.D. Nagel (SASCRAD, Buchholz,
Germany)) was used to simulate the effective dose increase as the scanned region
of the standard protocol ... hiện toàn bộ
Indeterminate CT pulmonary angiogram: Why and does it matter?Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology - Tập 61 Số 1 - Trang 18-23 - 2017
Ju Hee Yeo, Lifeng Zhou, Remy Lim
AbstractIntroductionThis study assessed the rate of indeterminate CT pulmonary
angiogram (CTPA) in a general hospital and evaluated potential contributing
factors to an indeterminate CTPA and patients’ eventual clinical
outcome.MethodsFour hundred and three consecutive CTPA and their finalised
report from 01/08/2012 to 05/12/2012 at Waitemata DHB were reviewed
retrospectively. Patient demographics... hiện toàn bộ
The utility of multimodality imaging with CT and MRI in defining rectal tumour volumes for radiotherapy treatment planning: a pilot studyJournal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology - Tập 54 Số 6 - Trang 562-568 - 2010
Jennifer Tan, Daryl Lim Joon, Greg Fitt, M. Wada, Michael Lim Joon, Angelina Mercuri, MaryAnn Dorothy Marr, Michael Chao, Vincent Khoo
AbstractAims: This study compares the volumetric and spatial relationships of
gross tumour volume (GTV) derived from CT (CT‐GTV) and GTV derived from MRI
(MR‐GTV) to determine the utility of multi‐modality imaging for radiotherapy
treatment planning in rectal cancer.Methods and Materials: Fifteen patients with
T3 rectal cancer were accrued over 18 months. The male : female ratio was 2:1.

AbstractPurposeTo retrospectively evaluate the feasibility and outcome of using
high‐powered percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) in treating medically
inoperable early stage non‐small cell lung cancer.Materials and MethodsFrom
November 2010 to June 2012, 15 patients underwent CT‐guided MWA of 15 tumours in
16 sessions. One patient had a second ablation session for local tumour
progression. Each ... hiện toàn bộ
Comparison of radiation treatment delivery for pancreatic cancer: Linac intensity‐modulated radiotherapy versus helical tomotherapyJournal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology - Tập 56 Số 3 - Trang 332-337 - 2012
Robert B. Taylor, Krisha J. Opfermann, Brian Jones, Lacy E. Terwilliger, D. G. McDonald, M Ashenafi, Elizabeth Garrett‐Meyer, David T. Marshall
AbstractIntroduction: Intensity‐modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) has been shown to
reduce dose to organs at risk (OAR) while adequately treating tumour volume.
This study quantitatively compares the dosimetric differences from
step‐and‐shoot IMRT compared with helical tomotherapy (HT) for pancreatic head
cancer.Methods: Twelve consecutive patients with non‐metastatic, stage T3 or T4,
unresectable pan... hiện toàn bộ
Early experience with MR‐guided adaptive radiotherapy using a 1.5 T MR‐Linac: First 6 months of operation using adapt to shape workflowJournal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology - Tập 66 Số 1 - Trang 138-145 - 2022

AbstractIntroductionThe magnetic resonance linear accelerator (MRL) offers
improved soft tissue visualization to guide daily adaptive radiotherapy
treatment. This manuscript aims to report initial experience using a 1.5 T MRL
in the first 6 months of operation, including training, workflows, timings and
dosimetric accuracy.MethodsAll staff received training in MRI safety and MRL
workflows. Initial... hiện toàn bộ
Early detection of breast cancer: Overview of the evidence on computer‐aided detection in mammography screening*Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology - Tập 53 Số 2 - Trang 171-176 - 2009
Nehmat Houssami, Rosalind Given-Wilson, Stefano Ciatto
SummaryWe review the evidence on computer‐aided detection (CAD) as an adjunct to
mammography interpretation, and discuss the complexity of its impact on
decision‐making and potential medico‐legal aspects. CAD prompts the reader to
review lesions on the mammogram and re‐evaluate the decision on whether to
recall CAD‐prompted findings. Studies show that CAD can improve the sensitivity
of a single re... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractIntroductionSince the introduction of a shared e‐scooter service to
Auckland in October there have been multiple media reports of associated
injuries, but no quantitation of the number or severity of these injuries, or
the impact on hospital emergency department services in Auckland.MethodsWe

Contrast‐enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) and contrast enhanced MRI (CEMRI): Patient preferences and toleranceJournal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology - Tập 59 Số 3 - Trang 300-305 - 2015
Max Hobbs, Donna Taylor, Sebastian Buzynski, Rachel Lloyd
AbstractIntroductionContrast‐enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) may have
similar diagnostic performance to Contrast‐enhanced MRI (CEMRI) in the diagnosis
and staging of breast cancer. To date, research has focused exclusively on
diagnostic performance when comparing these two techniques. Patient experience
is also an important factor when comparing and deciding on which of these
modalities is pr... hiện toàn bộ
