Fellows’ Journal Club: Readout-Segmented Echo-Planar DWI for the Detection of Cholesteatomas: Correlation with Surgical Validation

Fellows’ Journal Club Readout-segmented echo-planar (RESOLVE)-DWI is a new alternative technique for obtaining DWI with high quality, delivering sharp images at high spatial resolution and reduced slice thickness. Fifty patients with chronic otitis media who underwent MR imaging before an

Evaluation of the Normal Cochlear Second Interscalar Ridge Angle and Depth on 3D T2-Weighted Images: A Tool for the Diagnosis of Scala Communis and Incomplete Partition Type II

Fellows’ Journal Club The second interscalar ridge notch angle and depth were measured on MR imaging in normal ears by a single experienced neuroradiologist. The images of normal ears were then randomly mixed with images of ears with incomplete partition

MRI with DWI for the Detection of Posttreatment Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Why Morphologic MRI Criteria Matter

Fellows’ Journal Club The authors analyzed 1.5T MRI examinations of 100 consecutive patients treated with radiation therapy with or without additional surgery for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. MRI examinations included morphologic sequences and DWI. Histology and follow-up served

Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI–Derived Intracellular Water Lifetime (τi): A Prognostic Marker for Patients with Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas

Editor’s Choice The authors evaluated 60 patients with dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging before treatment. Median, mean intracellular water molecule lifetime, and volume transfer constant values from metastatic nodes were computed from each patient. Kaplan-Meier analyses were performed to associate mean

CT Texture Analysis Potentially Predicts Local Failure in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Treated with Chemoradiotherapy

Fellows’ Journal Club This was a retrospective study including 62 patients diagnosed with primary head and neck squamous cellcarcinoma who underwent contrast-enhanced CT examinations for staging, followed by chemoradiotherapy. CT texture features of thewhole primary tumor were measured using an
