Clinical TrialMRI-guided celiac plexus neurolysis for pancreatic cancer pain: Efficacy and safety.
To prospectively determine the efficacy and safety of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided celiac plexus neurolysis (CPN) for pancreatic cancer pain. ⋯ MRI-guided CPN appears to be an effective and minimally invasive procedure for palliative pain management of pancreatic cancer.

Intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging of hepatocellular carcinoma: Is there a correlation with flow and perfusion metrics obtained with dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI?
To assess the correlation between intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) metrics in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and liver parenchyma. ⋯ IVIM-DWI and DCE-MRI provide nonredundant information in HCC, while they correlate in liver parenchyma. These findings may be secondary to predominant portal inflow in the liver and tortuous vasculature and tissue heterogeneity in tumors. J. MAGN. RESON. IMAGING 2016;44:856-864.
