Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a nonoperative therapeutic option for the management of portal hypertension, variceal bleeding, recurrent ascites, Budd–Chiari syndrome. In view of the many issues surrounding the use of TIPS, in 1994 the US National Digestive Diseases Advisory Board convened a scientific conference to review the current data available and to establish the in...... hiện toàn bộ
Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging for predicting and detecting the response of ocular melanoma to proton beam therapy: initial resultsLa radiologia medica - Tập 120 - Trang 526-535 - 2015

The aim of this study was to investigate the utility of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for prediction and early detection of response to proton beam therapy in ocular melanoma. Ten ocular melanoma patients treated with proton beam therapy were enrolled in the study. All patients underwent conventional MR imaging and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) before the start of therapy,...... hiện toàn bộ
Density-based MDCT quantification of lobar lung volumes: a study of inter- and intraobserver reproducibilityLa radiologia medica - Tập 115 - Trang 516-525 - 2010

The authors assessed the reproducibility of multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) volumetry of the total and emphysematous parenchyma of pulmonary lobes. Two observers analyzed 23 MDCT examinations of patients with emphysema during two sessions held 3 months apart. Both lungs and all lobes were delimited by a combination of semiautomated and manual segmentation. Emphysematous parenchyma was...... hiện toàn bộ
Overcoming metallic artefacts from orthopaedic wrist volar plating on a low-field MRI scannerLa radiologia medica - Tập 124 - Trang 392-399 - 2018

To quantitatively compare the artefact reduction between standard and metallic artefact reduction (MAR) fast spin echo (FSE) T2 sequences in a low-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner (0.3 T) in patients with titanium volar wrist plating. Sixteen patients with fractures of the distal radius, treated with titanium volar wrist plating and screws, were examined using a dedicated 0.3 T MRI s...... hiện toàn bộ
Locally advanced inoperable primary or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer treated with 4-week hypofractionated radiation therapy (3 Gy/fraction)La radiologia medica - Tập 124 - Trang 1324-1332 - 2019
Maurizio Valeriani, Luca Marinelli, Luca Nicosia, Chiara Reverberi, Vitaliana De Sanctis, Davide Mollo, Mattia Falchetto Osti
The prognosis of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with conventional radiotherapy remains poor. Hypofractionation reduces overall treatment time increasing biological effect in patients not suitable for concurrent chemo-radiotherapy. From January 2009 to October 2016, 76 inoperable locally advanced primary or recurrent NSCLC patients were treated with 60 Gy in 20 fraction...... hiện toàn bộ
Percutaneous vacuum-assisted excision (VAE) of breast lesions of uncertain malignant potential (B3 lesions): a preliminary single-centre Italian experienceLa radiologia medica - Tập 128 - Trang 528-536 - 2023
Giulia Bicchierai, Francesca Pugliese, Francesco Amato, Diego De Benedetto, Cecilia Boeri, Ermanno Vanzi, Federica Di Naro, Simonetta Bianchi, Elsa Cossu, Vittorio Miele, Jacopo Nori
In recent years vacuum-assisted excision (VAE) has been described as an alternative treatment for some B3 lesions. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of using VAE to manage selected B3 lesions by quantifying the number of B3 lesions undergoing VAE, the malignant upgrade rate, and the complications encountered. Our department evaluated all B3 lesions diagnosed between January 2019 and Octo...... hiện toàn bộ
A dosimetric comparison between CyberKnife and tomotherapy treatment plans for single brain metastasisLa radiologia medica - Tập 122 - Trang 392-397 - 2017

Radiosurgery (RS) is a well-established treatment in selected patients with brain metastasis. The aim of this study is to compare the differences between CyberKnife (CK) and TomoTherapy (HT) treatment plans of RS of single brain metastasis (BM) to define when HT should be used in cases beyond Cyberknife—when both systems are readily available for the radiation oncologist. Nineteen patients with si...... hiện toàn bộ
Multidetector–row CT angiography of renal artery stenosis in 50 consecutive patients: prospective interobserver comparison with DSALa radiologia medica - Tập 111 - Trang 459-468 - 2006
F. Fraioli, C. Catalano, L. Bertoletti, M. Danti, F. Fanelli, A. Napoli, M. Cavacece, R. Passariello
The purpose of this study was to establish the diagnostic value of multidetector–row computed tomography (MDCT) angiography compared with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) for detection and quantification of both main and accessory renal artery stenosis in patients with secondary hypertension. Fifty consecutive patients scheduled for DSA were considered candidates for MDCT angiography. In all ...... hiện toàn bộ
