Simultaneous Evaluation of Lung Anatomy and Ventilation Using 4D Respiratory-Motion-Resolved Ultrashort Echo Time Sparse MRI.
Computed tomography (CT) and spirometry are the current standard methods for assessing lung anatomy and pulmonary ventilation, respectively. However, CT provides limited ventilation information and spirometry only provides global measures of lung ventilation. Thus, a method that can enable simultaneous examination of lung anatomy and ventilation is of clinical interest. ⋯ 2 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2019;49:411-422.

Risk Stratification of Prostate Cancer Using the Combination of Histogram Analysis of Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Across Tumor Diffusion Volume and Clinical Information: A Pilot Study.
The effectiveness of quantitative MRI and clinical information in the risk stratification of prostate cancer (PCa) patients was evaluated separately in previous research; however, the differentiation power of combining quantitative MRI and clinical information has yet to be investigated. ⋯ 4 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 J.
