<description><![CDATA[Objective:  To evaluate the application of MRI in the diagnosis of fetal lateral ventriculomegaly with nervous system abnormalities. Materials and Methods: A total of 118 pregnant women diagnosed with at least one lateral ventricle dilation after performing MRI examination in the First Affiliated Hospital of China Science and Technology University between January 1, 2015 and March 1, 2018 were included in the study, Acording to the degree of the ventriculomegaly, it can be devided into mild, moderate and severe, Group A: mild was 10.0—12.0 mm; Group B: moderate if, 12.1—15.0 mm, Group C: severe if, ＞15.0 mm. Asymmetry was defined as a difference of＞2 mm between the 2 lateral ventricles. All of their magenetic resonance image were retrospectively analyzed, and comparison of the diference in the fetal nervous system abnormalities. Results:  The number of asymmetric lateral ventriculomegaly in A, B, and C groups was higher than that in symmetric lateral ventriculomegaly. The proportion of the central nervous system lesions in the A, B, and C groups was 25%, 21% and 49%, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between group A and group C, group B and group C with the central nervous system abnormalities, P＜0.05. The prevalence of associated central nervous system abnormalities was significantly higher (P=0.034) in symmetric ventriculomegaly compared with asymmetric ventriculomegaly (39% versus 21%, respectively). In additional, there was a statistical significance between the group A and the group C in the symmetric lateral ventriculomegaly with nervous system abnormalities. The width of the other ventricle in the asymmetric lateral ventriculomegaly of group A was less than 10.0 mm. In group B, the width of the other ventricle in the asymmetric lateral ventuiculomegaly was less than 10.0 mm, and the proportion of central nervous abnormalities was 18%. The width in the range of 10.1—12.0 mm, and the proportion of central nervous abnormalities was 17%. In group C, the width of the other ventricle in the asymmetric lateral ventuiculomegaly in the range of 12.1—15.0 mm, and the proportion of central nervous abnormalities was highest. Conclusions:  MRI has important clinical value in the diagnosis of fetal lateral ventriculomegaly with nervous system abnormalities. The incidence of severe symmetric lateral ventriculomegaly with central nervous system disease was significantly higher.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Objective: To investigate dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI combined with DWI in differentiating non-mass breast cancer from granulomatous mastitis (GM). Materials and Methods: Twenty male methamphetamine use disorder based on DSM-V criteria and 21 male demography matched healthy controls participated in a study. 3D structural data were acquired on 3.0 T MRI system. The status of the psychology was evaluated by the self-reporting inventory-90 (SCL-90). The brain grey matter volume was measured by VBM based on SPM. The difference of grey matter volume between two groups was analyzed by two sample t-test. Partial correlation analysis was used to measure the relationship between grey matter volume and the SCL-90 scores as well as drug use situation in the methamphetamine group. Results: Higher score was found in MA group in extensive dimension, included interpersonal sensitivity, compulsion, depression, anxiety, hostility, paranoia and schizophrenia nuclear symptoms (P＜0.05). Compared with HC, the grey matter volume of right cerebellum crus I, thalamus, postcentral gyrus and left middle frontal gyrus were decreased in MA group. The grey matter volume were increased in cerebellum vermis, right inferior occipital gyrus, left middle occipital gyrus and left supplementary motor area (AlphaSim corrected, P＜0.01). Within the MA group, the grey matter volume in right thalamus was negatively correlated with the daily dose of methamphetamine (r=-0.528, P=0.036), the grey matter volume in cerebellum vermis was positively correlated with the schizophrenia nuclear symptoms (r=0.508, P=0.045), the grey matter volume in left supplementary motor area was positively correlated with the somatization (r=0.516, P=0.041). Conclusions: This study demonstrated that the grey matter volume was changed in MA group and was associated with the psychotic symptoms, which may contribute to the mechanism of MAP.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Objective: To explore application value of FVHs in predicting the outcome of acute ischemic stroke by analyzing the FLAIR vascular hyperintensities (FVHs) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) medical image in acute ischemic stroke patients with definite onset time, in order to speculate the possibility of disability of AIS patients. Materials and Methods: AIS patients of onset time within 4.5 hours were enrolled, and all patients did MRI examination, including FLAIR sequences and were treated with thrombolysis and thrombectomy within 4.5 and 12 hours respectively. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to Modified Rankin Scale: ≤2(group A), ＞2(group B). The clinical information, DSA medical image and MRI findings between two groups were compared. The FLAIR vascular hyperintensity score was based on ASPECTS, ranging from 0(no FLAIR vascular hyperintensity) to 7(FLAIR vascular hyperintensities abutting all ASPECTS cortical areas). Collateral circulation was assessed according to the American society for interventional and therapeutic neuroradiology/society of interventional radiology (ASITN/SIR) collateral flow grading system: grade 0: no collaterals visible at the ischemic site; grade 1: slow collaterals to the periphery of the ischemic site with persistence of some of the defect; grade 2: rapid collaterals to the periphery of the ischemic site with persistence of some of the defect, and to only a portion of the ischemic territory; grade 3: collaterals with slow but complete angiographic blood flow of the ischemic bed by the late venous phase; and grade 4: complete and rapid collateral blood flow to the vascular bed in the entire ischemic territory by retrograde perfusion. Spearman nonparametric correlation were used to analyze to the relationship between FVHs and collateral circulation levels. Results: After comparing the two groups of FVHs and collateral circulation levels, there were significant differences between group A and group B: P1=0.002, P2=0.008. Spearman correlation analysis showed that FVHs was actively correlated with collateral circulation levels (r=0.364, P=0.032). Conclusions: FVHs was slightly correlated with collateral circulation levels, the prognosis of AIS patients may be speculated according to the FVHs, which has great guiding significance for clinical treatment.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Objective: To preliminarily study myocardial microcirculation in diabetes patients using intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) imaging. Materials and Methods: 22 normal volunteers (10 male, mean age, 46.22±14.26 y) and 12 diabetic volunteers (6 male, mean age, 58.83±14.40 y) were enrolled in this study from May 2015 to November 2017. All of them performed CMR-IVIM on 3.0 T magnetic resonance on the middle of left ventricular short axis using multi b values (0, 20, 50, 80, 100, 120, 200, 300, 500 s/mm2). We measured IVIM parameters [apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)fast, ADCslow, f (fraction of ADCfast)] and analyzed the difference of myocardial microcirculation between normal subjects and diabetes. Results: There was no significant difference in left ventricular structural [(LVEDV (left ventricular end-diastolic volume), LVESV (left ventricular end-systolic volume), LVmass] and function [LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction), SV (stroke volume), CO (cardiac output), CI (cardiac index)] parameters between normal and diabetic subjects (P＞0.05). ADCfast values in diabetic volunteers (0.12±0.02)×10-3 mm2/s were lower than normal volunteers (0.15±0.02)×10-3 mm2/s (P=0.01). Conclusions: It’s helpful to evaluate myocardial microcirculation in diabetic patients using IVIM imaging.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Objective: To evaluate the roles of MRI diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and histogram of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in distinguishing different molecular subtypes of masslike breast cancer. Materials and Methods: 59 patients with mass-like breast cancer confirmed by pathology were analyzed retrospectively. Among the different molecular subtypes, there were 31 cases for Luminal type, 15 cases for Triple-negative and 13 cases for HER-2 enriched. All the subjects were performed preoperatively with MRI examination (plain scan, DCE-MRI and DWI). The ADC histogram parameters were measured and recorded, including skewness, kurtosis, standard deviation, ADCmean, ADCmin, ADCmax, ADC5%, ADC10%, ADC25%, ADC50%, ADC75%, ADC90% and ADC95%. The ADC histogram parameters of different molecular subtypes breast cancer were compared by one-way ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis H test and Mann-Whitney U test. ROC curves were used to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of each parameter. Results: The skewness coefficients of Luminal type, Triple-negative and HER-2 enriched breast cancers were 0.625±0.703, 0.516±0.595 and 0.024±0.650 respectively, there were significant difference between HER-2 enriched and Luminal type statisticaly (P=0.008). The ADC95% of Luminal type, Triple-negative and HER-2 enriched breast cancer were 1.058±0.396, 1.106±0.316 and 1.386±0.307 respectively. The ADC95% of HER-2 enriched breast cancer was significantly different from Luminal type (P=0.008) and Triple-negative (P=0.044). The AUC was 0.739 when using skewness to differentiate HER-2 enriched breast cancer from Luminal type. The AUC was 0.720 and 0.744 respectively when using ADC95% to differentiate HER-2 enriched breast cancer from Luminal type and Triple-negative. Conclusions:  The ADC histogram parameters were helpful in distinguishing different molecular subtypes of mass-like breast cancer, and have a certain value in reflecting the tumor heterogeneity of different molecular subtypes of mass-like breast cancer.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging six-echo Dixon rapid liver fat quantitative analysis for the changes of liver fat content in the patients with obese type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and reveal the relationship between the changes in liver fat fraction and body weight, body mass index (BMI) or glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) after the three-months treatment. Materials and Methods: This study included 21 patients with clinical diagnosed obese T2MD, They lost the weight and controlled the blood glucose according to the Chinese Type 2 Diabetes Prevention Guide (2013 edition) recommended intensive lifestyle intervention with acarbose of a three-month treatment period. All patients underwent liver scan by using T2*-corrected six-echo Dixon sequence in Siemens 1.5 T MRI scanner before and after treatment, respectively. After the image acquisition was completed, the average fat content of the liver was quantitatively analyzed by the rapid fat quantification and manual draw region of interest (ROI). Finally, the Bland-Altman plots and Pearson correlation analysis were performed on the quantitative results of the above two methods. Furthermore, we analysed the correlation between the change in liver fat content and the change in the body weight, BMI or HbA1c after the three-months treatment. Results: The six-echo Dixon rapid liver fat quantification results were highly correlated with the manual draw ROI measurements for patients in the two examinations, respectively (r=0.993 and 0.985, respectively, both P＜0.01). The Bland-Altman analysis showed that the average difference between the rapid liver fat quantification and manual ROI was 0.99 (95% confidence interval, -0.56 to 2.54) and 1.23 (95% confidence interval, -0.81 to 3.28) in the two examinations (20/21 differences were within range of 95% confidence interval), respectively. The significant correlations were also found between the change of liver fat fraction and the change of body weight, BMI or HbA1c after treatment (r=0.508, 0.514 and 0.467, respectively; P=0.019, 0.017 and 0.033, respectively). Conclusions: The MRI six-echo Dixon rapid liver fat quantification can simply, feasibility and accurately assess the change of liver fat content in the patients with obese T2DM. Moreover, it is helpful for investigating the association between the change of liver fat content and the change of body weight, BMI or HbA1c.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Objective: To investigate the diagnostic value of multiparametric MRI (mp-MRI) for detecting clinically significant transition zone prostate cancer (TZ-PCa) based on prostate imaging-reporting and data system version 2 (PI-RADS V2). Materials and Methods: Totally 105 patients undergoing prostate mp-MRI consisting of T2WI, diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) were included and analyzed retrospectively. Among them 41 were confirmed TZ-PCa, 64 benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by pathology within ≤1 week from MRI. T2WI, DWI, DCE-MRI and mp-MRI (T2WI+DWI) were scored based on PI-RADS V2 by two diagnostic physicians, as well as calculating their sensitivity and specificity taking pathological results as gold standard. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn and the area under curve (AUC) was performed to analyze the diagnostic efficiency of TZ-PCa with different protocols. Results: Inter-observer agreement of PI-RADS V2 score was good (Kappa value=0.83). The AUC of T2WI, DWI, DCE-MRI and mp-MRI for the diagnosis of TZ-PCa with PI-RADS V2 were 0.914, 0.887, 0.773, 0.927, respectively. The AUC was not statistically significant difference between T2WI and mp-MRI (P=0.107), and statistically significant difference of AUC was found between the rest of each other scan protocols. The sensitivity and specificity were 85.4%, 84.4% for T2WI alone, 78.0%, 81.3% for DWI alone, 78.0%, 76.6% for DCE-MRI alone and 92.7%, 83.9% for mp-MRI. Conclusions:  Multiparametic MRI based on PI-RADS V2 has important guiding significance in diagnosis of clinically significant transition zone prostate cancer.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Objective: Through machine learning a large number of magnetic resonance images diagnosed of knee cartilage with different degrees of lesions, the automatic classification and segmentation of knee cartilage scores is realized, and the accuracy is evaluated. It has the application value of monitoring and detecting OA occurrence and development process. Materials and Methods: This study retrospectively involved 590 knee magnetic resonance imaging 3.0 T data. There were 557 cases of automatic classification data; 33 cases were automatically segmented, of which 27 were used for training and 6 were used for testing. On the basis of deep learning, the migration learning method is used to perform automatic segmentation and classification based on two neural network models, namely V-type network and Inception network. The segmentation of the cartilage is manually labeled by a radiologist for comparison. Classification of cartilage is performed by radiologists based on WORMS zoning method and recht score; quantitative index of automatic segmentation accuracy is calculated using Dice similarity coefficient. Results: The dice similarity coefficient value (DSC) of all knee joints was more than 0.90, and the Dice similarity coefficient of knee articular cartilage was more than 0.70, indicating that the automatic segmentation method proposed in this study can accurately segment the bones and cartilage of knee joint. Conclusions: Methods of automatic segmentation of knee joint and classification of cartilage lesions were established by using deep neural network. The V-type network and inception network demonstrated the efficiency and accuracy of quickly generating accurate segmentation and classification results, which can obtain more accurate results and can be used for extraction of morphological characteristics, with the value of monitoring and diagnosing OA, providing technical support for the automation of imaging diagnosis and treatment process.]]></description>

<link>http://med-sci.cn/cgzcx/en/en_articlexml.asp?doi=10.12015/issn.1674-8034.2018.12.010</link>
<description><![CDATA[Objective:  By combining the resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technique and the sequential risk taking task, the current study aimed to investigate the relationship between the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) and emotion control ability in Tai Chi exercisers. Materials and Methods: After the resting state scan, the Tai Chi exercisers were asked to finish the sequential risk taking task. At the end of each trial in the task, they rated how they felt for the outcome of each trial on a 9-point scale. Moreover, they were asked to fill out the five facet mindfulness questionnaire and mindful attention awareness scale to get scores of meditation. In the processing of behavioral data analysis, we performed a regression analysis for each participant, in which the emotional ratings were defined as dependent variables and the objective results as independent variables. The regression coefficient was regarded as the index of participant’s emotion control ability. Specifically, the smaller regression coefficient means the stronger emotion control ability. Then, DPARSFA and SPM8 were used to process the resting-state data and get the ALFF of the whole brain. At last, the correlation analyses were preformed between the brain index (ALFF) and behavioral data (the score of scales and regression coefficient, i.e. the emotion control ability). Results:  The scores of mindful attention awareness scale were negatively correlated with the ALFF in middle frontal gyrus (r=-0.513, P＜0.01). Furthermore, Tai Chi exercisers’ ALFF in middle frontal gyrus were positively correlated with their emotion control ability (r=0.688, P＜0.01). Conclusions:  In the resting state, the ALFF in prefrontal lobe of Tai Chi exercisers were related to the meditation scores, which could also predict Tai Chi exercisers’ emotional control ability in the sequential risk taking task.]]></description>
