Contrast-enhanced ultrasound of the pancreas

The introduction of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) has led to major improvements in the diagnostic capabilities of ultrasound (US). The innovative use of CEUS for study of the pancreas has created the need for a definition of the most frequent dynamic features of solid and cystic masses. CEUS is less expensive compared to computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging and is able to significantly improve the accuracy of US, allowing better characterization and staging of pancreatic pathologies

The role of radiomics in hepato-bilio-pancreatic surgery: a literature review

Radiomics is an advanced computational analysis of biomedical images that aims to obtain a detailed, objective, and multidimensional characterization of biological tissues. Radiomics features ultimately represent the physiopathology of the tissue under study and can be used to characterize and quantify the spatial distribution and interactions between the voxels that compose a biomedical image. The aim of this paper was to review the current role of radiomics in hepato-bilio-pancreatic surgery by analyzing systematic reviews, meta-analyses and the most relevant published series. Literature data revealed that radiomics is a promising tool in improving the non-invasive characterization and preoperative staging of hepato-bilio-pancreatic neoplasms. Nevertheless, there are major limitations in this approach, mainly linked to the lack of standardization in image acquisition, that result in a significant translational gap between research and clinical practice

Standardize and Compare Contrast-enhanced Ultrasonographic Digital Images Obtained with Different Technologies: How to Overcome the Subjectivity

OBJECTIVE: This study was conducted to compare digital images obtained with cadence contrast pulse sequencing (CPS) and coherent contrast imaging (CCI) technologies for contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS).METHODS: A CEUS study on 17 focal liver lesions was performed using CPS and CCI technologies with a second-generation contrast media. The lesion/liver ratio and conspicuity index were then calculated and compared with Adobe Photoshop 6.0.RESULTS: Lesion/liver ratio and conspicuity index using CCI ranged from 1.3 to 7.1 (mean value, 3) and 19 to 127 (mean value, 58), respectively; by using CPS, we obtained results ranging from 2 to 19.1 (mean value, 8.9) and 57 to 164 (mean value, 109.2). Lesion/liver ratio and the conspicuity index for the lesions using CPS showed significantly (p < 0.0001) superior results than those obtained using CCI.CONCLUSION: The computed analysis with standardization allows an objective evaluation of digital images of CEUS. CPS technology resulted in better lesion conspicuity compared to CCI during CEUS study on focal liver lesions

La radiomica in TC: analisi texture dell’adenocarcinoma duttale del pancreas

Scopo dello studio è stato di analizzare l'analisi texture TC di pazienti affetti da Adenocarcinoma Duttale del Pancreas per valutarne la capacità di predire la presenza di metastas

Pseudocysts and Other Cystic Lesions

In the pancreas, a large amount of lesions with cystic features, both neoplastic and non-neoplastic, could be seen during imaging examinations. Increased detection of cystic pancreatic lesions at cross-sectional imaging has been reported, and it is a widespread everyday experience. The two large subgroups at the beginning evaluation are neoplastic and non-neoplastic. Non-neoplastic pancreatic and peripancreatic cystic lesions will be discussed, and rare pancreatic cystic neoplasms will be presented

Radiofrequency ablation of HCC: CT texture analysis of the ablated area to predict local recurrence

Purpose: To investigate the role of CT texture analysis in the risk assessment of local recurrence after HCC ablation. Material and Methods: Patients treated with percutaneous liver ablation were retrospectively enrolled between January 2015 and December 2018. CT texture analysis was performed both on the core and borders of the ablation area 1–2 months after procedure. Tumors were grouped according to the onset of local recurrence at follow-up (persistence, recurrence-free, short- or longterm recurrence). ANOVA/Kruskal–Wallis tests and a multivariable Cox regression model were used to assess differences in texture parameters and which parameters were predictive of recurrence risk. Results: 263 tumors were treated in 200 patients; 98 patients (72±9 years, 83 men) met the inclusion criteria for a total of 151 HCCs considered independently. 68 HCCs reported no disease recurrence, 32 persistent disease, 19 short-term and 32 long-term recurrence. Median follow-up was 121 [range: 29–1680] days. VenSkewness (p=0.02) and VenKurtosis (p=0.01) of the ablation core were predictive of short-term recurrence. VenHUmean (p=0.02) and VenGLRLM_HGRE (p=0.02) of the core were independent predictors of tumor recurrence. ArtEntropy of ablation border predicted the recurrence risk (p=0.04) and values higher than 3.71 reported an increased recurrence incidence (p=0.05). ArtHUstd (p=0.01), LateHUmean (p=0.04), LateGLRLM_HGRE (p=.003), LateGLZLM_HGZE (p&lt;0.01) and LateGLZLM_SZHGE (p=.02) of ablation border were independent predictors of local recurrence risk. Conclusion: CT texture analysis of the ablation area performed at 1–2-month follow-up allows to estimate the risk of local recurrence of HCC treated by radiofrequency ablation; one may be able to modify clinical–therapeutic decisions accordingly
