McCarville et al have used gray-scale contrast-enhanced low-mechanical-index, and thus non–bubble-destructive, continuous US to quantitate tumor blood flow in mouse tumors engineered to simulate antiangiogenic therapy.

REVIEWS AND COMMENTARY:Back

   Editorials:Back

Otha W. Linton and David A. Schauer

The National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements report number 149 will not be the final word in the debate, but it does offer a comprehensive look at the practice of mammography in the 21st century and offers a solid endorsement of the favorable benefit-cost ratios in properly conducted screening programs.

Our results support the hypothesis that gray-scale US measurements of microbubble contrast agent flow can be used to measure the functional consequences of antiangiogenic therapy in orthotopic tumors, and, at least to some degree, they reflect histologic changes in tumor vascularity.

The superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) contrast medium VSOP-C184 has the potential to overcome the disadvantage of available bolus-applicable SPIO preparations in liver MR imaging—namely, their poor T1 effect in the early phase—without compromising T2-weighted imaging.

On the basis of our results, a simple strategy would be to review areas submerged in tagged fluid by using abdominal viewing windows if the fluid attenuation value is less than 500 HU or by using bone viewing windows if the fluid attenuation value is 500 HU or greater.

Although dual-echo chemical shift gradient-echo MR imaging demonstrates the total amount of hepatic steatosis regardless of type, potential liver donors with a normal relative signal intensity decrease may be definitely appropriate for liver donation with respect to hepatic steatosis.

When the results of blinded reviewers are considered, we believe that evaluation of renal vascular, pelvicalyceal, and ureteral findings on three-dimensional images alone obtained with a 16-section CT saves radiologist's review time and provides results with high sensitivity and specificity and good diagnostic confidence.

Multidetector CT is a highly accurate method for detecting occult cortical scaphoid fractures and is superior to MR imaging for identifying cortical involvement, but multidetector CT appears inferior to MR imaging for identifying solely trabecular injury.

The majority of emboli go undetected at routine thoracic CT image interpretation, probably because of the small size of the affected arteries, but the presence of incidental emboli suggests the existence of other thromboembolic disease.

Other than the overall underprediction of the nonperfused area based on thermal dose estimates for the larger treatment volumes and the lower dose threshold needed for agreement of these values for smaller treatment volumes, the study results were in general agreement with those of the large body of animal studies of thermal ablation methods that have shown good correlation between MR imaging–based thermometry or dosimetry values and the resulting thermally induced tissue effects.
