Clinically insignificant prostate cancer suitable for active surveillance according to Prostate Cancer Research International: Active surveillance criteria: Utility of PI-RADS v2.
Active surveillance (AS) is an important treatment strategy for prostate cancer (PCa). Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) v2 has been addressed, but few studies have reported the value of PI-RADS v2 for assessing risk stratification in patients with PCa, especially on selecting potential candidates for AS. ⋯ 4 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2018;47:1072-1079.

Observational StudyQuantitative susceptibility mapping as a monitoring biomarker in cerebral cavernous malformations with recent hemorrhage.
Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) MRI allows accurate assessment of iron content in cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM), and a threshold increase by 6% in QSM has been shown to reflect new symptomatic hemorrhage (SH) in previously stable lesions. ⋯ 1 Technical Efficacy: Stage 4 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2018;47:1133-1138.
