Deep Learning How to Fit an Intravoxel Incoherent Motion Model to Diffusion-Weighted MRI
Purpose: This prospective clinical study assesses the feasibility of training
a deep neural network (DNN) for intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) model
fitting to diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) data and
evaluates its performance. Methods: In May 2011, ten male volunteers (age
range: 29 to 53 years, mean: 37 years) underwent DW-MRI of the upper abdomen on
1.5T and 3.0T magnetic resonance scanners. Regions of interest in the left and
right liver lobe, pancreas, spleen, renal cortex, and renal medulla were
delineated independently by two readers. DNNs were trained for IVIM model
fitting using these data; results were compared to least-squares and Bayesian
approaches to IVIM fitting. Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICC) were used
to assess consistency of measurements between readers. Intersubject variability
was evaluated using Coefficients of Variation (CV). The fitting error was
calculated based on simulated data and the average fitting time of each method
was recorded. Results: DNNs were trained successfully for IVIM parameter
estimation. This approach was associated with high consistency between the two
readers (ICCs between 50 and 97%), low intersubject variability of estimated
parameter values (CVs between 9.2 and 28.4), and the lowest error when compared
with least-squares and Bayesian approaches. Fitting by DNNs was several orders
of magnitude quicker than the other methods but the networks may need to be
re-trained for different acquisition protocols or imaged anatomical regions.
Conclusion: DNNs are recommended for accurate and robust IVIM model fitting to
DW-MRI data. Suitable software is available at (1)
Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging to assess diffuse renal pathology: a systematic review and statement paper.
Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) is a non-invasive method sensitive to local water motion in the tissue. As a tool to probe the microstructure, including the presence and potentially the degree of renal fibrosis, DWI has the potential to become an effective imaging biomarker. The aim of this review is to discuss the current status of renal DWI in diffuse renal diseases. DWI biomarkers can be classified in the following three main categories: (i) the apparent diffusion coefficient-an overall measure of water diffusion and microcirculation in the tissue; (ii) true diffusion, pseudodiffusion and flowing fraction-providing separate information on diffusion and perfusion or tubular flow; and (iii) fractional anisotropy-measuring the microstructural orientation. An overview of human studies applying renal DWI in diffuse pathologies is given, demonstrating not only the feasibility and intra-study reproducibility of DWI but also highlighting the need for standardization of methods, additional validation and qualification. The current and future role of renal DWI in clinical practice is reviewed, emphasizing its potential as a surrogate and monitoring biomarker for interstitial fibrosis in chronic kidney disease, as well as a surrogate biomarker for the inflammation in acute kidney diseases that may impact patient selection for renal biopsy in acute graft rejection. As part of the international COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) action PARENCHIMA (Magnetic Resonance Imaging Biomarkers for Chronic Kidney Disease), aimed at eliminating the barriers to the clinical use of functional renal magnetic resonance imaging, this article provides practical recommendations for future design of clinical studies and the use of renal DWI in clinical practice.EU COST Programm

Magnetic resonance imaging biomarkers for chronic kidney disease: a position paper from the European Cooperation in Science and Technology Action PARENCHIMA
Functional renal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has seen a number of recent advances, and techniques are now available that can generate quantitative imaging biomarkers with the potential to improve the management of kidney disease. Such biomarkers are sensitive to changes in renal blood flow, tissue perfusion, oxygenation and microstructure (including inflammation and fibrosis), processes that are important in a range of renal diseases including chronic kidney disease. However, several challenges remain to move these techniques towards clinical adoption, from technical validation through biological and clinical validation, to demonstration of cost-effectiveness and regulatory qualification. To address these challenges, the European Cooperation in Science and Technology Action PARENCHIMA was initiated in early 2017. PARENCHIMA is a multidisciplinary pan-European network with an overarching aim of eliminating the main barriers to the broader evaluation, commercial exploitation and clinical use of renal MRI biomarkers. This position paper lays out PARENCHIMAâs vision on key clinical questions that MRI must address to become more widely used in patients with kidney disease, first within research settings and ultimately in clinical practice. We then present a series of practical recommendations to accelerate the study and translation of these techniques

Imaging of salivary gland tumours
Imaging of salivary gland tumours is a major challenge for radiologists due to the great variety of differential diagnoses.
