Background: Flow-related signal void artifacts can be visualized on the T2-weighted (T2W) three-dimensional sampling perfection with application-optimized contrast (3D-SPACE) sequence. Flow void artifacts in the cerebral aqueduct and the fourth ventricle can provide information about cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow dynamics.

Purpose: In this study, we aimed to test the performance of the T2W 3D-SPACE sequence in assessing the CSF flow in the aqueduct and/or fourth ventricle.

Material and methods: A total of 137 patients (age range = 3-89 years) who underwent CSF flow study were included. The amount of signal loss on T2W 3D-SPACE due to flow in the aqueduct and fourth ventricle was assessed and graded using a 4-point scale of 0 (absence of flow void) to 3 (signal void filling the aqueduct and entire fourth ventricle). A correlation was then sought between the quantitative values obtained by phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI) and the amount of signal void in the 3D-SPACE sequence.

Results: At the aqueduct level, there was a statistically significant difference in the forward flow velocity and the flow volume among different grades (all P < 0.001). In the grade 3 group, CSF peak systolic flow velocity and mean flow volume were found to be significantly higher than in the other grades (P < 0.001). The mean aqueduct area in the grade 0 group was found to be significantly different from that in the other classes (P < 0.001).

Conclusion: The amount of signal loss in the fourth ventricle observed on T2W 3D-SPACE is correlated with the peak systolic velocity and flow volume measured quantitatively in PC-MRI.

背景:T2加权(T2W)三维取样完善与应用优化对比(3D-SPACE)序列可观察到与血流相关的信号空洞伪影。目的:在本研究中,我们旨在测试 T2W 3D-SPACE 序列在评估导水管和/或第四脑室 CSF 流量方面的性能:共纳入 137 名接受 CSF 流研究的患者(年龄范围 = 3-89 岁)。对导水管和第四脑室中因血流造成的 T2W 3D-SPACE 信号丢失量进行评估,并采用 4 级评分法进行评分,从 0(无血流空洞)到 3(信号空洞充满导水管和整个第四脑室)。然后将相位对比磁共振成像(PC-MRI)获得的定量值与 3D-SPACE 序列中的信号空白量进行相关性分析:结果:在导水管层面,不同等级的前向血流速度和血流体积存在显著的统计学差异(均为 P P P P 结论):T2W 3D-SPACE 观察到的第四心室信号缺失量与 PC-MRI 定量测量的收缩期峰值速度和血流量相关。

Background: Rapid and accurate measurement of computed tomography (CT) image noise, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) is a clinical challenge.

Purpose: To explore the feasibility of intelligent measurement of chest CT image noise, SNR, and CNR.

Material and methods: A total of 300 chest CT scans were included in the study, which was divided into research dataset, internal test dataset, and external test dataset. Based on the research dataset, automatically segment and measure the average CT values and standard deviation (SD) of CT values for background air and lung field under different thresholds to obtain noise, SNR, and CNR results. Using the results of manual measurements as the reference standard, we determine the optimal threshold with the highest consistency. Using internal and external test datasets, validate the consistency of automated measurements of noise, SNR, and CNR at the optimal CT threshold with reference standards.

Results: With background air set at -900 HU and lung field at -800 HU as thresholds, the automated measurements of noise, SNR, and CNR demonstrate the highest consistency with the reference standards. At the optimal threshold, the noise, SNR, and CNR measured automatically on both the internal (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] = 0.85-0.96) and external (ICC = 0.75-0.85) test datasets exhibit high consistency with their respective reference standards.

Conclusion: The method we explored can intelligently measure the noise, SNR, and CNR of chest CT images, exhibits high consistency with radiologists, and offers a novel tool for image quality evaluation and analysis.

背景:目的:探讨胸部 CT 图像噪声、信噪比和对比度-噪声比智能测量的可行性:研究共纳入 300 张胸部 CT 扫描图像,分为研究数据集、内部测试数据集和外部测试数据集。在研究数据集的基础上,自动分割并测量不同阈值下背景空气和肺野的平均 CT 值和 CT 值的标准偏差(SD),从而得出噪声、信噪比和 CNR 结果。以人工测量结果为参考标准,我们确定了一致性最高的最佳阈值。使用内部和外部测试数据集,验证在最佳 CT 门限下噪声、信噪比和 CNR 的自动测量结果与参考标准的一致性:将背景空气设置为 -900 HU,肺野设置为 -800 HU 作为阈值时,噪声、信噪比和 CNR 的自动测量结果与参考标准的一致性最高。在最佳阈值下,在内部(类内相关系数 [ICC] = 0.85-0.96)和外部(ICC = 0.75-0.85)测试数据集上自动测量的噪声、信噪比和有线信噪比与各自的参考标准具有很高的一致性:我们探索的方法可以智能测量胸部 CT 图像的噪声、信噪比和 CNR,与放射科医生的一致性很高,为图像质量评估和分析提供了一种新工具。

Background: Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a disease with a serious prognosis and a high probability of death in the emergency department.

Purpose: To investigate the prediction of PE-related mortality and intensive care admission (ICU) of Qanadli (Qscore), Bova, and simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (sPESI) scores.

Material and methods: This retrospective observational study consisted of all patients diagnosed with acute PE who were imaged under computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) for a total of 5 years between 1 June 2018 and 1 June 2023. The prediction of radiological and clinical scores for mortality and ICU admission was examined.

Results: A total of 95 patients were analyzed. Patients who died and those who were admitted to the ICU had a significantly higher frequency of being found to have a high-risk (≥1) sPESI score (P = 0.04 and P = 0.016, respectively). For mortality, the sPESI score was found to be significant; the sensitivity and specificity were observed as 54% and 66% (area under the curve [AUC]=0.670, 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.527-0.814; P = 0.020). For ICU admission, the sensitivity and specificity of the Qscore, sPESI, and Bova scores were 35%, 77%, and 58%, and 78%, 65%, and 84% respectively (AUC=0.626, 95% CI=0.511-0.740, P = 0.031; AUC=0.769, 95% CI=0.674-0.865, P < 0.001; and AUC=0.767, 95% CI=0.671-0.862, P < 0.001, respectively).

Conclusion: It was found that the sPESI score was effective at predicting mortality in patients with acute PE. Qscore, sPESI, and Bova scores have been shown to be useful in predicting ICU admission.

背景:目的:研究Qanadli(Qscore)、Bova和简化肺栓塞严重程度指数(sPESI)评分对PE相关死亡率和重症监护入院(ICU)的预测:这项回顾性观察研究包括2018年6月1日至2023年6月1日期间,在计算机断层扫描肺血管造影(CTPA)下成像的所有确诊为急性PE的患者,共计5年。研究了放射学和临床评分对死亡率和入住重症监护室的预测:共对 95 名患者进行了分析。死亡患者和入住重症监护室的患者被发现具有高风险(≥1)sPESI 评分的频率明显更高(分别为 P = 0.04 和 P = 0.016)。就死亡率而言,sPESI 评分具有重要意义;敏感性和特异性分别为 54% 和 66%(曲线下面积 [AUC]=0.670, 95% 置信区间 [CI]=0.527-0.814; P = 0.020)。对于入住 ICU 的患者,Qscore、sPESI 和 Bova 评分的敏感性和特异性分别为 35%、77% 和 58%,以及 78%、65% 和 84%(AUC=0.626,95% CI=0.511-0.740,P=0.031;AUC=0.769,95% CI=0.674-0.865,P P 结论:研究发现,sPESI 评分能有效预测急性 PE 患者的死亡率。Qscore、sPESI 和 Bova 评分已被证明可用于预测入住 ICU 的情况。

Background: The reliability and diagnostic accuracy of commonly used diagnostic imaging modalities in the classification of lumbosacral transitional vertebrae (LSTV) are poorly known, and comparative studies are scarce.

Purpose: To compare the diagnostic performance of conventional radiography (CR), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in classifying LSTVs.

Material and methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, a total of 852 patients undergoing lumbar imaging studies using all three modalities were initially assessed for the presence of LSTV using CT scans. In total, 100 patients with LSTV anatomy were identified. Four readers performed blinded and independent evaluations of these 100 patients on each modality, and an experienced fellowship-trained radiologist performed a gold standard read using all three modalities. Inter-reader reliability metrics were analyzed in comparison to the gold standard. Statistical software R (4.2.1) was used for the analyses.

Results: We found superior diagnostic efficacy for CT: the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and balanced accuracy were 76%, 93%, 77%, and 84%, respectively. For MRI, the metrics were 54%, 88%, 56%, and 68%, and for CR 32%, 85%, 42%, and 59%, respectively. Inter-reader reliability was found to be good for CT (κ = 0.63-0.71) and fair for both CR (κ = 0.16-0.32) and MRI (κ = 0.24-0.56).

Conclusion: CT had the highest diagnostic performance in all measured metrics with good inter-reader reliability. MRI and CR showed fairly poor sensitivity and accuracy, and thus consideration should be used when classifying LSTVs with these two modalities.

背景:目的:比较传统放射摄影(CR)、计算机断层扫描(CT)和磁共振成像(MRI)在腰椎过渡椎体(LSTV)分类中的诊断性能:在这项回顾性横断面研究中,共有 852 名患者接受了腰椎造影检查,这三种检查方式均使用 CT 扫描对是否存在 LSTV 进行初步评估。共有 100 名患者被确定为 LSTV。四名读片员分别使用每种模式对这 100 名患者进行了盲法独立评估,一名经验丰富、受过研究培训的放射科医生使用所有三种模式进行了金标准读片。通过与金标准进行比较,分析了读片者之间的可靠性指标。分析使用了 R(4.2.1)统计软件:我们发现 CT 的诊断效果更佳:灵敏度、特异性、准确性和平衡准确性分别为 76%、93%、77% 和 84%。MRI 的指标分别为 54%、88%、56% 和 68%,CR 的指标分别为 32%、85%、42% 和 59%。阅片员之间的可靠性在 CT 中为良好(κ = 0.63-0.71),在 CR(κ = 0.16-0.32)和 MRI(κ = 0.24-0.56)中为一般:结论:在所有测量指标中,CT 的诊断性能最高,阅片者之间的可靠性良好。结论:在所有测量指标中,CT 的诊断性能最高,阅片者之间的可靠性也很好。MRI 和 CR 的灵敏度和准确性较差,因此在使用这两种模式对 LSTV 进行分类时应加以考虑。

Background: May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is a continuous pathological change of the left common iliac vein intraluminal wall due to compression between the right common iliac artery and a lumbar vertebra, with clinical signs of compromised venous drainage of the left leg, which eventually leads to development of left-sided deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Purpose: To analyze the correlation between iliac vessel geometry and probability of DVT in patients with MTS.

Material and methods: This study consists of two age-matched female groups: DVT (n = 21) and control (n = 28). Iliac vein geometry, including left common iliac vein (LCIV) diameter, percentage of stenosis, angle between LCIV and right common iliac vein (RCIV), tilt angle of each CIV with horizontal line, and crossing angle between right common iliac artery (RCIA) and LCIV, were measured on computed tomography venography (CTV) images. The probability of DVT development was assessed using logistic regression.

Results: Comparing the DVT and control groups, the mean LCIV diameter was 2.4 mm and 3.7 mm (P = 0.001), and mean LCIV stenosis was 77.7% and 68.3% (P = 0.001), respectively. After age-adjustment, the odds of left DVT in patients with MTS correlated with LCIV diameter (odds ratio [OR]=0.25, P < 0.001, 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.11-0.54), LCIV stenosis (%) (OR=1.12, P = 0.003, 95% CI=1.04-1.21), LCIV tilt angle (OR=0.95, P < 0.038, 95% CI=0.91-0.99), and angle between two CIVs (OR=1.04, P < 0.039, 95% CI=1.00-1.09).

Conclusion: LCIV diameter and percentage of stenosis, LCIV tilt angle, and CIV angle were independent risk factors for the development of DVT in patients with MTS.

背景:梅-特纳综合征(MTS)是由于右侧髂总动脉与腰椎之间的压迫导致左侧髂总静脉腔内壁发生持续性病理改变,临床表现为左腿静脉引流受阻,最终导致左侧深静脉血栓形成(DVT)。目的:分析MTS患者髂血管几何形态与DVT发生概率的相关性:本研究由两组年龄匹配的女性组成:DVT 组(21 人)和对照组(28 人)。在计算机断层扫描静脉成像(CTV)图像上测量髂静脉的几何形状,包括左髂总静脉(LCIV)直径、狭窄百分比、LCIV 与右髂总静脉(RCIV)之间的角度、每条 CIV 与水平线的倾斜角度以及右髂总动脉(RCIA)与 LCIV 之间的交叉角度。采用逻辑回归法评估深静脉血栓形成的概率:结果:深静脉血栓组与对照组相比,LCIV的平均直径分别为2.4毫米和3.7毫米(P = 0.001),LCIV的平均狭窄率分别为77.7%和68.3%(P = 0.001)。经过年龄调整后,MTS 患者发生左侧深静脉血栓的几率与 LCIV 直径(几率比 [OR]=0.25,P = 0.003,95% CI=1.04-1.21)、LCIV 倾斜角度(OR=0.95,P P 结论:MTS 患者左侧深静脉血栓的几率与 LCIV 直径和狭窄百分比相关:LCIV直径和狭窄百分比、LCIV倾斜角度和CIV角度是MTS患者发生深静脉血栓的独立危险因素。

Background: Lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) is a strong and independent risk factor that increases the probability of endometrial carcinoma (EC) recurrence and reduces the survival rate of patients.

Purpose: To investigate the value of amide proton transfer weighted (APTw) and mDixon-Quant techniques in evaluating EC lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI).

Material and methods: Data of 50 EC patients (18 LVSI+ and 32 LVSI-) confirmed by surgery and pathology were retrospectively analyzed. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans included APTw and mDixon-Quant imaging. APT, transverse relaxation rate (R2*), and fat fraction (FF) plots were obtained by postprocessing. The APT, R2*, and FF values of the two groups of cases were measured by two observers.

Results: The agreement between the two observers was good. The mean APT, R2*, and FF values of LVSI+ EC were 2.947% ± 0.399%, 20.605 /s (range = 18.525-27.953), and 2.234% ± 1.047%, respectively, while the parameters of LVSI- EC were 2.628% ± 0.307%, 18.968 /s (range = 16.225-20.544), and 2.103% ± 1.070%, respectively. The APT and R2* values of LVSI+ EC were higher than those of LVSI- EC (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in FF value between the two groups. The AUC values of APT, R2*, and APT + R2* for LVSI were 0.751, 0.713, and 0.781, respectively (all P > 0.05). APT value was moderately correlated with R2* value (r = 0.528, P < 0.001) and weakly correlated with FF value (r = 0.312, P = 0.027).

Conclusion: APTw and mDixon-Quant techniques could evaluate the LVSI status of EC, and their combined application could improve diagnostic efficiency.

背景:目的:研究酰胺质子转移加权(APTw)和mDixon-Quant技术在评估子宫内膜癌淋巴管间隙侵犯(LVSI)中的价值:回顾性分析了50例经手术和病理证实的EC患者(18例LVSI+,32例LVSI-)的数据。术前磁共振成像(MRI)扫描包括 APTw 和 mDixon-Quant 成像。通过后处理获得 APT、横向弛豫率(R2*)和脂肪分数(FF)图。两组病例的 APT、R2* 和 FF 值由两名观察者测量:结果:两名观察者的测量结果一致。LVSI+ EC 的平均 APT、R2* 和 FF 值分别为 2.947% ± 0.399%、20.605 /s(范围 = 18.525-27.953)和 2.234% ± 1.047%,而 LVSI- EC 的参数分别为 2.628% ± 0.307%、18.968 /s(范围 = 16.225-20.544)和 2.103% ± 1.070%。LVSI+ EC 的 APT 值和 R2* 值均高于 LVSI- EC(P P > 0.05)。APT值与R2*值呈中度相关(r = 0.528, P r = 0.312, P = 0.027):结论:APTw 和 mDixon-Quant 技术可评估心血管疾病的 LVSI 状态,两者的联合应用可提高诊断效率。

Background: Meniscal ramp lesions are a special type of meniscal injury that affects the periphery of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus and/or its meniscocapsular attachments, strongly associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears. Due to their location, these lesions can be missed arthroscopically so it is essential to diagnose them on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of MRI in detecting meniscal ramp lesions in patients with ACL tears using arthroscopy as the reference standard.

Material and methods: Two musculoskeletal radiologists, blinded to the surgical findings, retrospectively and independently evaluated 106 knee MRI scans for the presence of meniscal ramp lesions in non-consecutive patients who underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction between January 2019 and July 2022 by a single surgeon at one institution. Having arthroscopy as reference, the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity as well as the positive and negative predictive values (PPV/NPV) of the MRI scans were calculated. Cohen's kappa coefficient was used to test inter-observer reliability. A P value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results: In the study group of 106 patients (72 men, 34 women; mean age = 33.84 ±13.12 years), 76 had an arthroscopy-confirmed meniscal ramp lesion, while 30 did not. The sensitivity and specificity of MRI for the detection of meniscal ramp lesion were 88% and 87%, respectively. The PPV and NPV were 94% and 74%, respectively. Inter-rater reliability was excellent (k = 0915).

Conclusion: This study demonstrates that MRI can accurately detect meniscal ramp lesions.

背景:半月板斜坡损伤是一种特殊类型的半月板损伤,影响内侧半月板后角的外周和/或其半月板囊附件,与前十字韧带(ACL)撕裂密切相关。目的:以关节镜检查为参考标准,评估磁共振成像检测前交叉韧带撕裂患者半月板斜面病变的准确性:两名肌肉骨骼放射科医生在手术结果盲区内,回顾性地独立评估了106例膝关节MRI扫描,以确定是否存在半月板斜坡病变,这些非连续性患者均在2019年1月至2022年7月期间接受了关节镜前交叉韧带重建术。以关节镜为参考,计算了核磁共振扫描的诊断敏感性、特异性以及阳性预测值和阴性预测值(PPV/NPV)。科恩卡帕系数(Cohen's kappa coefficient)用于检验观察者之间的可靠性。A P 值 结果:在研究组的 106 名患者(72 名男性,34 名女性;平均年龄 = 33.84 ± 13.12 岁)中,76 人经关节镜检查确诊为半月板坡道病变,30 人未确诊。磁共振成像检测半月板斜坡病变的敏感性和特异性分别为88%和87%。PPV和NPV分别为94%和74%。评分者之间的可靠性极佳(k = 0915):本研究表明,磁共振成像可准确检测半月板斜坡病变。

Background: Visual evaluation of interstitial lung disease (ILD)-related changes can generate intra- and inter-observer errors. However, recent deep learning (DL) algorithm advances have facilitated accurate lung segmentation, lesion characterization, and quantification.

Purpose: To evaluate the treatment response and long-term course in ILD associated with anti-aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase syndrome (anti-ARS ILD) using a DL algorithm.

Material and methods: Patients with anti-ARS ILD who underwent both pre- and post-initial-treatment computed tomography (CT) (n = 68) were divided into two groups (responders and non-responders) according to forced vital capacity improvement after initial treatment. We also analyzed the CT images of patients for whom long-term follow-up CT (>5 years) was performed after post-treatment CT (n = 43). DL analysis was used to classify CT imaging features into five patterns: normal; ground-glass opacity (GGO); consolidation; fibrotic lesions; and emphysema.

Results: The initial responder group had a larger volume of consolidation. Consolidation and GGO volumes decreased after initial treatment in both groups. However, whole-lung and normal-area volumes increased in the responder group; conversely, there was no significant increase in the non-responder group. At the long-term follow-up, fibrotic lesions significantly increased in both groups. The emphysema pattern increased significantly in both groups after initial treatment and long-term follow-up. Six of 26 (23.1%) responders and 8 of 17 (47.1%) non-responders were judged as having progressive pulmonary fibrosis.

Conclusion: DL-based analysis facilitated the chronological evaluation of anti-ARS ILD. During the long-term follow-up, anti-ARS ILD was associated with chronological progression, regardless of initial treatment efficacy.

背景:间质性肺病(ILD)相关变化的视觉评估会产生观察者内部和观察者之间的误差。目的:使用深度学习算法评估抗氨基酸酰-tRNA合成酶综合征(抗ARS ILD)相关ILD的治疗反应和长期病程:根据初始治疗后用力肺活量的改善情况,将接受初始治疗前和治疗后计算机断层扫描(CT)的抗ARS ILD患者(68人)分为两组(应答者和非应答者)。我们还分析了治疗后进行长期 CT 随访(>5 年)的患者(43 人)的 CT 图像。我们使用DL分析法将CT成像特征分为五种模式:正常、磨玻璃不透明(GGO)、合并、纤维化病变和肺气肿:结果:初始应答组的合并面积较大。两组患者在接受初始治疗后,合并症和 GGO 的体积都有所减少。然而,有反应组的全肺和正常面积体积有所增加;相反,无反应组没有明显增加。在长期随访中,两组的纤维化病变都明显增加。在初次治疗和长期随访后,两组患者的肺气肿模式都明显增加。26 名应答者中有 6 名(23.1%)和 17 名非应答者中有 8 名(47.1%)被判定为肺纤维化进展:结论:基于DL的分析有助于按时间顺序评估抗ARS ILD。结论:基于 DL 的分析有助于按时间顺序评估抗ARS ILD。在长期随访中,无论最初的治疗效果如何,抗ARS ILD 都与按时间顺序进展有关。

Background: SynthesiZed Improved Resolution and Concurrent nOise reductioN (ZIRCON) is a multi-kernel synthesis method that creates a single series of thin-slice computed tomography (CT) images displaying low noise and high spatial resolution, increasing reader efficiency and minimizing partial volume averaging.

Purpose: To compare the diagnostic performance of a single set of ZIRCON images to two routine clinical image series using conventional CT head and bone reconstruction kernels for diagnosing intracranial findings and fractures in patients with trauma or suspected acute neurologic deficit.

Material and methods: In total, 50 patients underwent clinically indicated head CT in the ER (15 normal, 35 abnormal cases). A non-reader neuroradiologist established the reference standard. Three neuroradiologists reviewed two routine clinical series (head and bone kernels) and a single ZIRCON series, detecting intracranial findings or fractures and rating confidence (0-100). Sensitivity, specificity, and jackknife free-response receiver operating characteristic (JAFROC) figure of merit (FOM) were compared (limit of non-inferiority: -0.10).

Results: ZIRCON and conventional images demonstrated comparable performance for fractures (sensitivity: 51.5% vs. 54.5%; specificity: 40.2% vs. 34.2%) and intracranial findings (sensitivity: 88.2% vs. 91.4%; specificity: 77.2% vs. 73.7%).The estimated difference of JAFROC FOM demonstrated ZIRCON non-inferiority for acute pathologies overall (0.003 [95% CI=-0.051-0.057]) and fractures (0.048 [95% CI=-0.050-0.145]) but not for intracranial findings alone (-0.024 [95% CI=-0.100-0.052]).

Conclusion: Thin-slice, low noise, and high spatial resolution images can be created to display intracranial findings and fractures replacing multiple images series in head CT with similar performance. Future studies in more patients and further algorithmic development are warranted.

背景:目的:比较一组 ZIRCON 图像与两组使用传统 CT 头部和骨骼重建内核的常规临床图像的诊断性能,以诊断外伤或疑似急性神经功能缺损患者的颅内发现和骨折:共有 50 名患者在急诊室接受了有临床指征的头部 CT 检查(正常 15 例,异常 35 例)。一名非阅片神经放射科医生制定了参考标准。三位神经放射学专家对两组常规临床系列(头颅和骨核)和一组 ZIRCON 系列进行审查,检测颅内发现或骨折情况,并对可信度进行评分(0-100)。比较了灵敏度、特异性和杰克刀自由响应接收器操作特征(JAFROC)的优越性(FOM)(非劣效界限:-0.10):结果:ZIRCON 和传统图像在骨折(灵敏度:51.5% 对 54.5%;特异性:40.2% 对 34.2%)和颅内发现(灵敏度:88.2% 对 91.4%;特异性:77.2% 对 73.7%)方面表现相当。JAFROC FOM的估计差值显示,ZIRCON在急性病变(0.003 [95% CI=-0.051-0.057])和骨折(0.048 [95% CI=-0.050-0.145])方面没有劣势,但在颅内发现方面没有劣势(-0.024 [95% CI=-0.100-0.052]):结论:薄切片、低噪声和高空间分辨率图像可用于显示颅内发现和骨折,取代头颅 CT 中的多个图像系列,且性能相似。今后有必要对更多患者进行研究,并进一步开发算法。
