Evaluating the Therapeutic Effect of Low-Intensity Transcranial Ultrasound on Traumatic Brain Injury With Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging.
Low-intensity transcranial ultrasound (LITUS) has a therapeutic effect on traumatic brain injury (TBI). Diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) might be able to evaluate the effect changes of injured brain microstructure. ⋯ 1 Technical Efficacy Stage: 4 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2020;52:520-531.

Renal perfusion can be quantitatively assessed by multiple magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods, including dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE), arterial spin labeling (ASL), and diffusion-weighted imaging with intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) analysis. In this review we summarize the advances in the field of renal-perfusion MRI over the past 5 years. The review starts with a brief introduction of relevant MRI methods, followed by a discussion of recent technical developments. ⋯ Magn. Reson. Imaging 2020;52:369-379.

Diagnosis and Grading of Prostate Cancer by Relaxation Maps From Synthetic MRI.
The interpretation system for prostate MRI is largely based on qualitative image contrast of different tissue types. Therefore, a fast, standardized, and robust quantitative technique is necessary. Synthetic MRI is capable of quantifying multiple relaxation parameters, which might have potential applications in prostate cancer (PCa). ⋯ 2 Technical Efficacy Stage: 2 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2020;52:552-564.

EditorialLuminal Water Imaging: Comparison With Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI) and PI-RADS for Characterization of Prostate Cancer Aggressiveness.
Luminal water imaging (LWI), a multicomponent T2 mapping technique, has shown promise for prostate cancer (PCa) detection and characterization. ⋯ LWI parameters, in particular in combination, showed superior diagnostic performance for differentiation between low-grade and high-grade PCa compared to ADC and PI-RADS assessment.
