Lymph node (LN) status is an important parameter for determining the treatment strategy and for predicting the prognosis for patients with uterine cervical cancer. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) can be feasible for differentiating metastatic from non-metastatic lymph nodes in patients with uterine cervical cancer. ⋯ CAD system can improve the diagnostic performance of MR for detecting metastatic LNs in uterine cervical cancer.

In magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with 3D-double-echo steady-state (3D-DESS) sequences, the cartilage-synovial fluid contrast is reported to be better with a flip angle of 90° than with the conventional flip angle of 40°, and the detection rate of knee cartilage injury may be improved. ⋯ In evaluating knee cartilage surface lesions with 3D-DESS sequences, a flip angle setting of 90° is more effective than the conventional setting of 40°.
