Abstract

Objective: To identify predictors of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in cirrhotic patients scanned by gadobenate dimeglumine (Gd-BOPTA)-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging., Methods: Fifty cirrhotic patients with 120 nodules, including 10 mass-forming intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas and two combined hepatocellular carcinoma-cholangiocarcinomas, were scanned by Gd-BOPTA-enhanced MR imaging., Results: T1 hypointensity [odds ratio (OR), 20.12], peripheral hyperintense rim at hepatic arterial phase (OR, 13.5), and iso-hyperintensity at hepatobiliary phase (OR 21.32) were found to be independent predictors of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma., Conclusions: T1 hypointensity, peripheral hyperintense rim at hepatic arterial phase, and iso-hyperintensity at hepatobiliary phase are independent predictors of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma diagnosis in patients with liver cirrhosis., (Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc.

Abstract

Objective: To assess spectral presaturation inversion-recovery MRI sequence with gadolinium to identify predictors of mesorectal fascia (MRF) invasion in patients with locally advanced rectal carcinoma after neoadjuvant therapy., Materials and Methods: Sixty-five patients underwent neoadjuvant concomitant radiation and chemotherapy and surgery. Magnetic resonance images were assessed by two radiologists., Results: Linear (odds ratio, 95% confidence intervals: 19.33, 1.98-188.6) and reticular strands (odds ratio, 95% confidence intervals: 9.75, 1.45-67.77) reaching the MRF are predictors of MRF invasion., Conclusion: Linear or reticular mesorectal strands reaching the MRF detected at contrast-enhanced MRI represent a predictor of MRF invasion., (Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Inc.
