Mass-forming intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: Can diffusion-weighted imaging predict microvascular invasion?
Microvascular invasion (MVI) is a risk factor influencing the survival rate of patients with mass-forming intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IMCC). ⋯ 1 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2019;50:315-324.

Three-dimensional ultrashort echo time (3D UTE) MRI of Achilles tendon at 4.7T MRI with comparison to conventional sequences in an experimental murine model of spondyloarthropathy.
Due to the very short T2 of its components, the normal anatomy of Achilles enthesis is impossible to define with "conventional" long echo time (TE) T2 sequences. However, this is a common site affected by rheumatologic disease. Early abnormalities related to inflammatory processes are impossible to detect in this location. ⋯ 2 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2019;50:127-135.
