Optimal use of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) can identify key MRI parameters and provide unique tissue signatures defining phenotypes of breast cancer. We have developed and implemented a new machine-learning informatic system, termed Informatics Radiomics Integration System (IRIS) that integrates clinical variables, derived from imaging and electronic medical health records (EHR) with multiparametric radiomics (mpRad) for identifying potential risk of local or systemic recurrence in breast cancer patients. We tested the model in patients (n = 80) who had Estrogen Receptor positive disease and underwent OncotypeDX gene testing, radiomic analysis, and breast mpMRI. The IRIS method was trained …

Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging Of Knee Articular Cartilage And Effusion-Synovitis: The Structural Response To Changes In Joint Loading, Hayden F. Atkinson

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive degenerative condition that can affect all tissues within the joint. Methods to measure early changes in joint structures and the effect of interventions are required. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate aspects of quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as outcome measures in knee OA studies. Specifically, changes in articular cartilage composition and/or effusion-synovitis were examined in people with or at risk for knee OA and healthy controls, and after altering joint loads.

Chapter 2 is a systematic review that studied articular cartilage composition using MRI T2 and T1ρ relaxation in patients at …

What Is Scannable? An Mri Safety Guide, Michael Burcescu, Ravi Patel, Robert Hessemer, Peter Lore, Sriharsha Kota, Guarav Kumar

West Florida Division Virtual Research Day 2020

Supernumerary MRI protocols and recommendations exist to guide physicians at the forefront of patient care. While urgent imaging may be necessary for critical patients, inadvertent imaging of implantable devices can incur serious morbidity and mortality[11]. The American College of Radiology published a 30-page manual in 2013[1] on MRI safe practices and releases yearly updates with critical information separately[2]. There is increased utilization of advanced imaging modalities, especially among academic institutions[3]. Physicians are hard pressed to maximize efficiency; uncertainty delays imaging. Moreover, inappropriate orders delay appropriate management. We present pertinent and often questioned considerations in a comprehensible format along with devices …
