Comparative StudyEvaluation of staging and early response to chemotherapy with whole-body diffusion-weighted MRI in malignant lymphoma patients: A comparison with FDG-PET/CT.
To examine the utility of diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) for staging and early response to chemotherapy assessment in lymphoma patients as compared with fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT). ⋯ DW-MRI is a promising tool for staging and evaluation of early response to chemotherapy in patients with lymphoma.

Prediction of survival for patients with advanced colorectal cancer using (1) H High-resolution magic angle spinning nuclear MR spectroscopy.
To evaluate whether the metabolic profiles of colorectal cancer specimens can be used for prediction of survival. ⋯ Our results indicate that HR MAS spectroscopy is potentially useful for survival prediction in advanced colorectal cancer.

To present and validate a manifold learning (ML)-based method that can estimate both cardiac and respiratory navigator signals from electrocardiogram (ECG)-free free-breathing cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data to achieve self-gated retrospective CINE reconstruction. ⋯ Accurate respiratory and cardiac navigator signals can be estimated using the proposed framework from the acquired data itself, resulting in retrospective self-gated CINE reconstruction with high spatial and temporal quality.
