Intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted MRI of invasive breast cancer: Correlation with prognostic factors and kinetic features acquired with computer-aided diagnosis.
As both intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) modeling and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) provide perfusion parameters, IVIM-derived perfusion parameters might be expected to correlate with the kinetic features from DCE-MRI. ⋯ 4 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2019;49:118-130.

Esophageal carcinoma: Intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted MRI parameters and histopathological correlations.
The pathological grade of esophageal carcinoma is highly determinant of patient prognosis, but it still cannot be adequately evaluated preoperatively. Compared with conventional diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) diffusion-weighted MRI can separate true molecular diffusion and perfusion in tissues and has been shown to be useful in characterizing malignant tumors. There is no report that compared IVIM and conventional DWI in grading esophageal carcinoma. ⋯ 1 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2019;49:253-261.

Systematic review on the characterization of chronic traumatic encephalopathy by MRI and MRS.
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disease that is found in people who have suffered from chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI). Up to now, diagnosis of CTE could only be made based on postmortem histopathological examinations. The application of MR techniques might offer a promising possibility for in vivo diagnoses. ⋯ 3 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2019;49:212-228.

Radiomic signature as a predictive factor for lymph node metastasis in early-stage cervical cancer.
Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is the principal risk factor for poor outcomes in early-stage cervical cancer. Radiomics may offer a noninvasive way for predicting the stage of LNM. ⋯ 3 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2019;49:304-310.

Segmentation of gray matter, white matter, and CSF with fluid and white matter suppression using MP2RAGE.
MP2RAGE can generate uniform T1 -weighted images, which have been used for brain segmentation. However, there remain concerns about carrying out fast brain segmentation. ⋯ 2 Technical Efficacy: Stage 1 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2018;48:1540-1550.
