Radiomics study using thyroid sonography is limited in predicting the <i>BRAF</i> mutation status of papillary thyroid carcinoma. Further studies will be needed to validate our results using various diagnostic methods.

Background Data are limited regarding the performance of abbreviated screening breast MRI during consecutive years and the characteristics of breast cancers missed and detected with it. Purpose To assess the longitudinal diagnostic performance of abbreviated screening MRI and to determine whether the screening outcomes of abbreviated MRI differed between yearly time periods for 3 consecutive years. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included 1975 consecutive women who underwent abbre

We aimed to evaluate whether radiomics analysis based on gray-scale ultrasound (US) can predict distant metastasis of follicular thyroid cancer (FTC). We retrospectively included 35 consecutive FTCs with distant metastases and 134 FTCs without distant metastasis. We extracted a total of 60 radiomics features derived from the first order, shape, gray-level cooccurrence matrix, and gray-level size zone matrix features using US imaging. A radiomics signature was generated using the least absolute s

BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for the independent assessment of screening mammograms have not been well established in a large screening cohort of Asian women. We compared the performance of screening digital mammography considering breast density, between radiologists and AI standalone detection among Korean women. METHODS: We retrospectively included 89,855 Korean women who underwent their initial screening digital mammography from 2009 to 2020. Breast cancer within 12 mo

Background Automated breast (AB) US effectively depicts mammographically occult breast cancers in Western women. However, few studies have focused on the outcome of supplemental AB US in Asian women who have denser breasts than Western women. Purpose To evaluate the performance of supplemental AB US on mammography-based breast cancer screening in Asian women with dense breasts and those with nondense breasts. Materials and Methods A retrospective database search identified asymptomatic Korean wo

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between Type D personality and health behaviors of coronary artery disease patients and to determine the mediating effect of illness perception on this relationship. The participants were 142 coronary artery disease patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention in a university hospital in Korea. Type D personality, illness perception, and health behaviors were surveyed using structured questionnaires. The collected data were a

Pulmonary vein (PV) stenosis is a complication of ablation therapy for arrhythmias. We report two cases with chronic lung parenchymal abnormalities showing no improvement and waxing and waning features, which were initially diagnosed as nonspecific pneumonias, and finally confirmed as PV stenosis. When a patient presents for nonspecific respiratory symptoms without evidence of infection after ablation therapy and image findings show chronic and repetitive parenchymal abnormalities confined in lo

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of abbreviated screening breast magnetic resonance imaging (AB-MRI) for screening in women with previously treated breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective study included consecutive AB-MRI from September 2015 to December 2016 in patients with previously treated breast cancer. Longitudinal medical record of patients' demographics, outcomes of imaging surveillance and results of biopsy was reviewed. Protocol consiste

Our study revealed that baseline and early temporal changes in SMI and VAT were not independent prognostic factors regarding disease-free survival in Asian patients undergoing surgery for breast cancer.

This study aimed to evaluate the most common primary metastatic location of acral malignant melanoma and to evaluate the usefulness of preoperative ultrasound for sentinel lymph node metastasis. Ninety-eight Korean acral malignant melanoma patients were enrolled. Acral malignant melanoma was present in 76 lower limbs and in 22 upper limbs. The most common origin location was the sole (33.7%). The most common location of primary metastasis was loco-regional recurrence (22/34, 64.7%). The sensitiv

Abstract We aimed to investigate the correlation between shear-wave elastography (SWE) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in breast cancer and to identify the associated characteristics. We included 91 breast cancer patients who underwent SWE and breast MRI prior to surgery between January 2016 and November 2017. We measured the lesion’s mean (E mean ) and maximum (E max ) elasticities of SWE and ADC values. We evaluated the correlation between SWE, ADC values and tumor size. The me
