Volumetric Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Histogram Analysis in Differentiating Intrahepatic Mass-Forming Cholangiocarcinoma From Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
Accurate differentiation between intrahepatic mass-forming cholangiocarcinoma (IMCC) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is needed because treatment and prognosis differ significantly. ⋯ 3 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2019;49:975-983.

Observational StudyIncidence and risk factors of unplanned intubation during pediatric sedation for MRI.
It is often difficult for the pediatric patient to cooperate or to remain immobile during MR scans. Therefore, sedation is usually needed for children. ⋯ This study identified risk factors of unplanned intubation as follows: ASA class III patients, premature birth, and the presence of GERD or congenital heart disease. The physician should screen risk factors of unexpected intubation and maintain adequate sedation during MRI scans in pediatric patients. Level of Evidence 3. Technical Efficacy Stage 5. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2019;49:1053-1061.

A Study of the Correlation of Perfusion Parameters in High-Resolution GRASP MRI With Microvascular Density in Lung Cancer.
The histological count of microvascular density (MVD) is the current clinical standard for assessing tumor angiogenesis. Although it is hypothesized that perfusion MRI can be a noninvasive alternative to MVD, there have been few studies to validate their correlations, particularly in lung cancer. ⋯ 1 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2019;49:1186-1194.
