All over the map: An interobserver agreement study of tumor location based on the PI-RADSv2 sector map.
Prostate imaging reporting and data system version 2 (PI-RADSv2) recommends a sector map for reporting findings of prostate cancer mulitparametric MRI (mpMRI). Anecdotally, radiologists may demonstrate inconsistent reproducibility with this map. ⋯ 3 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 J. MAGN. RESON. IMAGING 2018;48:482-490.

Age-related changes in fiber tracts in healthy adult brains: A generalized q-sampling and connectometry study.
Generalized q-sampling (GQI) and connectometry analysis provide new indices, i.e., quantitative anisotropy (QA) and spin distribution function (SDF) in comparison with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). They may provide more age-related changes in white matter (WM) in aging. ⋯ 2 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 J. MAGN. RESON. IMAGING 2018;48:369-381.

Role of intravoxel incoherent motion MRI in early assessment of the response of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma to chemoradiotherapy: A pilot study.
Since definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is standard therapy for inoperable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), early evaluation of treatment response is crucial for patients and would be useful in assessing response, especially in patients with severe side effects. ⋯ 2 Technical Efficacy: Stage 4 J. MAGN. RESON. IMAGING 2018;48:349-358.

Consistency of Multiple Renal Functional MRI Measurements Over 18 Months.
Identification of patients with progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD) and those likely to respond to candidate therapeutics is urgently needed. Functional MRI measurements have shown promise. However, knowledge about the consistency of the measurements is essential to conduct longitudinal studies. ⋯ 1 Technical Efficacy: Stage 1 J. MAGN. RESON. IMAGING 2018;48:514-521.

Using support vector machine analysis to assess PartinMR: A new prediction model for organ-confined prostate cancer.
Partin tables represent the most widely used predictive tool for prostate cancer stage at prostatectomy but with potential limitations. ⋯ 3 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 J. MAGN. RESON. IMAGING 2018;48:499-506.
