Apparent diffusion coefficient predicts biochemical response in neuroendocrine liver metastases treated using targeted radiolabelled therapy
Introduction: Y-DOTATyr3octreotide (Y-DOTATOC) therapy targets tumour cells expressing somatostatin receptors and induces tumour apoptosis and necrosis. However, assessment of treatment response using conventional imaging criteria is unreliable because treatment may induce disease stabilization rather than disease regression, and disease can also be slow to regress despite clinical benefits [1]...
متن کاملHistogram Analysis of Apparent Diffusion Coefficient in Differentiating Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma and Neuroendocrine Tumor
The aim of this study was to investigate whether histogram analysis in diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can help differentiate pancreatic adenocarcinomas from neuroendocrine tumors.Sixty-four patients with histologically confirmed 53 pancreatic adenocarcinomas or 19 neuroendocrine tumors underwent DW MRI. We evaluated the pixel distribution histogram parameters (mean, sk...

متن کاملDecreased LKB1 predicts poor prognosis in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
Liver kinase B1 (LKB1) has been identified as a critical modulator involved in cell proliferation and polarity. The purpose of the current study was to characterize the expression pattern of LKB1 and assess the clinical significance of LKB1 expression in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients. LKB1 mRNA expression which was analyzed in 32 PDAC lesions and matched non-tumor tissues, wa...
متن کاملOptimised diffusion-weighting for measurement of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in human brain.
This work studies the effect of diffusion-weighting on the precision of measurements of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC, or D) by diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. The precision in the value of the ADC was described in terms of a diffusion-to-noise ratio (DNR) which was calculated as the signal-to-noise ratio in the resultant ADC. A theoretical analysis decomposed the DNR i...
