Detection of lung cancer using single-exposure dual-energy subtraction chest radiographyRadiation Medicine - Tập 25 - Trang 195-201 - 2007
Kana Ide, Hiroshi Mogami, Tadashi Murakami, Yoshifumi Yasuhara, Masao Miyagawa, Teruhito Mochizuki
The aim of this study was to evaluate the detectability of lung cancer by chest
radiography with a single-exposure dual-energy subtraction (ES) method. Five
radiologists read two sets of chest radiographs from 77 patients (66.5 ± 9.6
years old) with histologically proven lung cancer measuring ≤3.0 cm and those
from 77 normal subjects (65.7 ± 9.0 years old). The observer tests were
performed in two... hiện toàn bộ
Midterm results of radiofrequency ablation versus nephrectomy for T1a renal cell carcinomaRadiation Medicine - Tập 28 - Trang 460-468 - 2010

The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate midterm results of renal
radiofrequency (RF) ablation compared to the results after nephrectomy in
patients with T1a renal cell carcinoma (RCC). A total of 115 patients with a
single RCC measuring ≤4 cm (T1a) were included; 51 patients underwent RF
ablation, 54 patients radical nephrectomy, and 10 patients partial nephrectomy.

Sliding thin slab, minimum intensity projection imaging for objective analysis of emphysemaRadiation Medicine - Tập 24 - Trang 415-421 - 2006
Shiro Satoh, Shinichi Ohdama, Hitoshi Shibuya
The aim of this study was to determine whether sliding thin slab, minimum
intensity projection (STS-MinIP) imaging is more advantageous than thin-section
computed tomography (CT) for detecting and assessing emphysema. Objective
quantification of emphysema by STS-MinIP and thin-section CT was defined as the
percentage of area lower than the threshold in the lung section at the level of
the aortic a... hiện toàn bộ
Primary cardiac lymphoma: computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging featuresRadiation Medicine - Tập 27 - Trang 243-246 - 2009
Daisuke Utsunomiya, Kazuo Awai, Joji Urata, Touitsu Hirayama, Yasuyuki Yamashita
Primary cardiac lymphoma is a rare, extremely aggressive malignancy. Early
diagnosis and treatment is important for patient survival. We present a case of
a 76-year-old woman admitted for worsening dyspnea caused by a large tumor in
the right atrium. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography clearly
depicted the primary cardiac tumor, and histopathological study of the surgical
specimen c... hiện toàn bộ
Phlebosclerotic colitisRadiation Medicine - Tập 26 - Trang 164-167 - 2008
Fumihiko Tamamoto, Hideyuki Ishizaki, Tadayuki Maehara
Phlebosclerotic colitis (PC) is a rare form of ischemic colitis that usually
affects the right hemicolon. It is due to ischemia induced by phlebosclerosis in
the branches of the superior mesenteric vein that disturb venous return from the
colon. The clinical course is different from that of the more common type of
ischemic colitis caused by arterial disease. We encountered a 73-year-old woman
with... hiện toàn bộ
Novel display technique for reference images for visibility of temporal change on radiographs- color digital summation radiography-Radiation Medicine - Tập 24 - Trang 28-34 - 2006

The present study investigated color digital summation radiography (CDSR) as a
novel display technique for reference images for the visibility of temporal
change on radiographs. In CDSR, only the parts with temporal differences are
displayed in color. Moreover, all other parts are displayed in gray scale. CDSR
was defined as “radiographs combined by the additive color mixture method”. The
visibili... hiện toàn bộ
Skeletal muscle: An unusual site of distant metastasis in gastric carcinomaRadiation Medicine - Tập 24 - Trang 150-153 - 2006
Nuran Şenel Beşe, Mustafa Özgüroĝlu, Sergülen Dervişoĝlu, Kaya Kanberoglu, Ahmet Öber
Gastric cancer metastatic to skeletal muscle is an unusual entity. Surgery,
systemic chemotherapy, or radiotherapy to the metastatic mass can be treatment
options for achiving palliation. Case Report: A patient with multiple skeletal
muscle metastases that occurred during follow-up after gastrectomy and adjuvant
chemo-radiotherapy is reported. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated

The aim of this study was to determine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features
of various subtypes of thymic epithelial tumors based on the World Health
Organization classification. The study included 64 patients with histologically
proven thymic epithelial tumors. Two observers evaluated the MRI findings in
terms of tumor size, contour, lobulation, shape, homogeneity, the presence of
intratumor... hiện toàn bộ
