The fact is that in studying screening scenarios there are as many, if not more, examples of definitive, widely accepted results (including in terms of mortality) from field trials than from randomized controlled trials.

   Evidence-based Radiology Series:Back

Dermot E. Malone and Marie Staunton

Given the variable results of the eminence-based paradigm, it is unlikely that it will ever again be acceptable to administrators, fundholders, or the public for a medical expert to pronounce on issues "ex cathedra" without having first performed an evidence-based analysis of the subject in question.

Because our approach is multidisciplinary and is applied to a large number of patients, we thought it timely to communicate our esophagography technique, the important factors we evaluate, and how the findings are integrated into the care of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease both before and after antireflux surgery.

On the basis of results from the region-of-interest analysis in our study, the electromagnetic property indicators with the highest contrast ratios for cancer appear to be electrical permittivity at electrical impedance spectroscopy (mean contrast ratio, 1.6), electrical conductivity at microwave imaging spectroscopy (mean contrast ratio for lesions >1 cm in size, 2.0), and total hemoglobin concentration at near-infrared spectral tomography (mean contrast ratio for lesions >6 mm in size, 1.5).

Yulei Jiang, Diana L. Miglioretti, Charles E. Metz, and Robert A. Schmidt

Low breast cancer prevalence in an average-risk screening population and interradiologist variability cause large variation in observed cancer detection rates, which can mask improvements in the cancer detection rates achieved with new breast imaging modalities in clinical trials and clinical practices.

To our knowledge, our study is the first to describe the transition from portal blood supply to arterial blood supply during development of hepatic metastases in vivo by taking into account the in vivo natural microcirculation, tumor angiogenesis, and interaction with the surrounding hepatic sinusoids.

The findings of our experimental study suggest that a reduction in radiation dose by as much as half can have a measurable but modest effect on diagnostic accuracy in digital mammography, particularly in the detection of microcalcifications and the discrimination of malignant and benign masses.

We found reduced fractional anisotropy and relative anisotropy values only in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD), whereas patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) had only elevated apparent diffusion coefficient values in the parietal white matter in comparison with control subjects; therefore, we conclude that diffusion-tensor imaging of the brain is less applicable for early detection of AD-related abnormal changes in patients with MCI than for confirmation of clinical manifestations of AD.

We suggest that the areas exhibiting the minimum apparent diffusion coefficient are the sites of highest glioma grade within heterogeneous tumors and are thus the important sites for diagnosis and prognosis.

Transarterial radionuclide therapy with rhenium 188 4-hexadecyl 1,2,9,9-tetramethyl-4,7-diaza-1,10-decanethiol iodized oil appears to be a safe, effective, and promising therapeutic option in patients with inoperable large and/or multifocal hepatocellular carcinomas and has opened a new vista and given some hope to these patients.
