Comparative StudyIntravoxel Incoherent Motion Diffusion-Weighted Imaging of Lung Cancer: Comparison Between Turbo Spin-Echo and Echo-Planar Imaging.
The aim of the study was to compare intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for evaluating lung cancer using single-shot turbo spin-echo (TSE) and single-shot echo-planar imaging (EPI) in a 3T MR system. ⋯ Lung DWI or IVIM using TSE could provide distortion-free images and improve the test-retest robustness of ADC and D as compared with EPI-DWI; however, it might exert a negative effect on perfusion parameter D*.

Case ReportsHigh-Resolution Computed Tomography Manifestations of 5 Pediatric Patients With 2019 Novel Coronavirus.
We present clinical and chest computed tomography (CT) features of 5 cases of pediatric patients with 2019 novel coronavirus. Two patients had fever and dry cough, whereas the rest of 3 patients were asymptomatic. ⋯ We note that up to 66.7% asymptomatic patients had pulmonary lesions, so the asymptomatic children with Wuhan contact are recommended to do a 2019 novel coronavirus real-time fluorescence polymerase chain reaction screening. Unlike adult patients, only a small amount of patients had multilobes affected, so we speculate that the pediatric patients generally have milder CT findings than adults.
