RESUMEN

Bladder cancer (BCa) is among the ten most frequent cancers globally. It is the tumor with the highest lifetime treatment-associated costs, and among the tumors with the heaviest impacts on postoperative quality of life. The purpose of this article is to review the current applications and future perspectives of the Vesical Imaging Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS). VI-RADS is a newly developed scoring system aimed at standardization of MRI acquisition, interpretation, and reporting for BCa. An insight will be given on the BCa natural history, current MRI applications for local BCa staging with assessment of muscle invasiveness, and clinical implications of the score for disease management. Future applications include risk stratification of nonmuscle invasive BCa, surveillance, and prediction and monitoring of therapy response. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3 TECHNICAL EFFICACY STAGE: 2.

RESUMEN

The aim of the study was to clarify the relationship and the time of aldosterone and renin recoveries at immediate and long-term follow-up in aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) patients who underwent adrenalectomy. Prospective and longitudinal protocol in a cohort of APA patients was followed in a single center. Among 43 patients with primary aldosteronism (PA), thirteen APA patients were enrolled in this study. Blood was collected for aldosterone, renin, potassium, creatinine, cortisol, and ACTH before and 1, 3, 5, 7, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 270, 360 days after adrenalectomy. At diagnosis, most patients (84%) had hypokalemia and high median aldosterone levels (54.8; 24.0-103 ng/dl) that decreased to undetectable (<2.2) or very low (<3.0) levels between fifth to seventh days after surgery; then, between 3-12 months, its levels gradually increased to the lower normal range. The suppressed renin (2.3; 2.3-2.3 mU/l) became detectable between the fifteen and thirty days after surgery, remaining normal throughout the study. The aldosterone took longer than renin to recover (60 vs.15 days; p<0.002) and patients with higher aldosterone had later recovery (p=0.03). The cortisol/ACTH levels remained normal despite the presence of a post-operative hypoaldosteronism. Blood pressure and antihypertensive requirement decreased after adrenalectomy. In conclusion, our prospective study shows the borderline persistent post-operative hypoaldosteronism in the presence of early renin recovery indicating incapability of the zona glomerulosa of the remaining adrenal gland to produce aldosterone. These findings contribute to the comprehension of differences in renin and aldosterone regulation in APA patients, although both are part of the same interconnected system.

RESUMEN

Prostate MRI is now established as a first-line investigation for individuals presenting with suspected localized or locally advanced prostate cancer. Successful delivery of the MRI-directed pathway for prostate cancer diagnosis relies on high-quality imaging as well as the interpreting radiologist's experience and expertise. Radiologist certification in prostate MRI may help limit interreader variability, optimize outcomes, and provide individual radiologists with documentation of meeting predefined standards. This AJR Expert Panel Narrative Review summarizes existing certification proposals, recognizing variable progress across regions in establishing prostate MRI certification programs. To our knowledge, Germany is the only country with a prostate MRI certification process that is currently available for radiologists. However, prostate MRI certification programs have also recently been proposed in the United States and United Kingdom and by European professional society consensus panels. Recommended qualification processes entail a multifaceted approach, incorporating components such as minimum case numbers, peer learning, course participation, continuing medical education credits, and feedback from pathology results. Given the diversity in health care systems, including in the provision and availability of MRI services, national organizations will likely need to take independent approaches to certification and accreditation. The relevant professional organizations should begin developing these programs or continue existing plans for implementation.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study was to perform an independent external validation of the Giganti-Coppola nomogram (GCN), which uses clinical and radiological parameters to predict prostate extracapsular extension (ECE) on the final pathology of patients undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Seventy-two patients diagnosed with prostate cancer (PCa), who were RP candidates from two institutions, were prospectively included. All patients underwent preoperative multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) at 1.5 T, without the use of an endorectal coil, with multiplanar images in T1WI, T2WI, DWI, and DCE. The AUC and a calibration graph were used to validate the nomogram, using the regression coefficients of the Giganti-Coppola study. RESULTS: The original nomogram had an AUC of 0.90 (p = 0.001), with a sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of 100%, 5.1%, 47.1%, 100%, and 48%, respectively. The calibration graph showed an overestimation of the nomogram for ECE. CONCLUSION: The GCN has an adequate ability in predicting ECE; however, in our sample, it showed limited accuracy and overestimated likelihood of ECE in the final pathology of patients with PCa submitted to RP. KEY POINTS: • Knowledge of preoperative local staging of prostate cancer is essential for surgical treatment. Extracapsular extension increases the chance of positive surgical margins. • Imaging modalities such as mpMRI alone does not have suitable accuracy in local staging. • Giganti-Coppola's nomogram achieved an adequate ability in predicting ECE.

RESUMEN

Purpose The number of B-lines on lung ultrasound at hospital discharge in patients admitted with acute heart failure (AHF) is associated with poor outcomes. Assessing B-lines can be challenging to execute and replicate, depending on the clinical context. This study aims to determine whether the lung ultrasound score (LUS) at discharge predicts hospital readmission or emergency department (ED) visits in the 30 days after an AHF hospital admission. Methods  We conducted an observational study at the medical ward of the emergency unit of the Clinics Hospital of the Ribeirao Preto Medical School, University of Sao Paulo, a tertiary university hospital in Ribeirao Preto, Sao Paulo, Brazil, where consecutive adults admitted with AHF were included. On the day of hospital discharge, we measured the LUS and tracked these patients for up to 30 days to monitor emergency department visits, hospital readmission, and the number of days free from hospital stay. Results  A total of 46 patients were included in the study. A composite outcome of ED visits or hospital readmission in the 30 days after hospital discharge was achieved for 22 (47.8%) patients. The LUS at hospital discharge had a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) area of 0.93 (95% CI, 0.82-0.99) to predict the composite outcome, against 0.67 (95% CI, 0.52-0.81) for the clinical congestion score (CCS). A LUS ≥ 7 at discharge had a sensitivity of 95.5% and a specificity of 87.5% to predict the composite outcome. The average exam duration was 176±65 (sd) seconds. Conclusions The LUS at hospital discharge following admission for AHF proves to be an accurate tool for predicting the likelihood of return to the ED and/or hospital readmission within 30 days post discharge.

RESUMEN

Diagnostic work-up and risk stratification in patients with bladder cancer before and after treatment must be refined to optimize management and improve outcomes. MRI has been suggested as a non-invasive technique for bladder cancer staging and assessment of response to systemic therapy. The Vesical Imaging-Reporting And Data System (VI-RADS) was developed to standardize bladder MRI image acquisition, interpretation and reporting and enables accurate prediction of muscle-wall invasion of bladder cancer. MRI is available in many centres but is not yet recommended as a first-line test for bladder cancer owing to a lack of high-quality evidence. Consensus-based evidence on the use of MRI-VI-RADS for bladder cancer care is needed to serve as a benchmark for formulating guidelines and research agendas until further evidence from randomized trials becomes available.

RESUMEN

Objective: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of histogram analysis on unenhanced computed tomography (CT) for differentiating between adrenal adenomas and pheochromocytomas (PCCs). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively identified patients with proven PCCs who had undergone CT examinations between January 2009 and July 2019 at one of two institutions. For each PCC, we selected one or two adenomas diagnosed within two weeks of the date of diagnosis of the PCC. For each lesion, two readers scored the size, determined the mean attenuation, and generated a voxel histogram. The 10th percentile (P10) was obtained from the conventional histogram analysis, as well as being calculated with the following formula: P10 = mean attenuation - (1.282 × standard deviation). The mean attenuation threshold, histogram analysis (observed) P10, and calculated P10 (calcP10) were compared in terms of their diagnostic accuracy. Results: We included 52 adenomas and 29 PCCs. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the mean attenuation threshold were 75.0%, 100.0%, and 82.5%, respectively, for reader 1, whereas they were 71.5%, 100.0%, and 81.5%, respectively, for reader 2. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the observed P10 and calcP10 were equal for both readers: 90.4%, 96.5%, and 92.6%, respectively, for reader 1; and 92.3%, 93.1%, and 92.6%, respectively, for reader 2. The increase in sensitivity was significant for both readers (p = 0.009 and p = 0.005, respectively). Conclusion: For differentiating between adenomas and PCCs, the histogram analysis (observed P10 and calcP10) appears to outperform the mean attenuation threshold as a diagnostic criterion.


Objetivo: Avaliar a acurácia diagnóstica da análise por histograma na tomografia computadorizada (TC) sem contraste para a diferenciação entre adenomas adrenais e feocromocitomas (FCCs). Materiais e Métodos: Identificamos, retrospectivamente, pacientes com diagnóstico de FCC confirmado que foram submetidos a exames de TC entre janeiro de 2009 e julho de 2019 em duas instituições distintas. Para cada FCC, selecionamos um ou dois adenomas diagnosticados em até duas semanas da data do diagnóstico do FCC. Para cada lesão, dois leitores pontuaram o tamanho, determinaram a atenuação média e geraram um histograma com os voxels das imagens. O percentil 10 (P10) foi obtido a partir da análise convencional do histograma, além de ser calculado com a seguinte fórmula: P10 = atenuação média - (1,282 × desvio-padrão). O limiar de atenuação média, o P10 da análise por histograma (P10 observado) e o P10 calculado (P10calc) foram comparados em termos de acurácia diagnóstica. Resultados: Foram incluídos 52 adenomas e 29 FCCs. A sensibilidade, especificidade e acurácia do limiar de atenuação média foram de 75,0%, 100,0% e 82,5% para o leitor 1, respectivamente, e de 71,5%, 100,0% e 81,5% para o leitor 2, respectivamente. A sensibilidade, especificidade e acurácia do P10 observado e do P10calc foram idênticas para os dois leitores: 90,4%, 96,5% e 92,6%, respectivamente, para o leitor 1; e 92,3%, 93,1% e 92,6%, respectivamente, para o leitor 2. O aumento da sensibilidade foi significativo para ambos os leitores (p = 0,009 e p = 0,005, respectivamente). Conclusão: Para a diferenciação entre adenomas e FCCs, a análise por histograma (P10 observado ou P10calc) parece superar o limiar de atenuação média como critério diagnóstico.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To evaluate if the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) ultrasound descriptor of orientation can be used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study to evaluate breast mass lesions identified by MRI from 2008 to 2010 who had ultrasound (US) and histopathologic confirmation. Lesions were measured in the craniocaudal (CC), anteroposterior (AP), and transverse (T) axes and classified as having a nonparallel orientation, longest axis perpendicular to Cooper's ligaments, or in a parallel orientation when the longest axis is parallel to Cooper's ligaments. The MR image data were correlated with the US orientation according to BI-RADS and histopathological diagnosis. RESULTS: We evaluated 71 lesions in 64 patients. On MRI, 27 lesions (38.0%) were nonparallel (8 benign and 19 malignant), and 44 lesions (62.0%) were parallel (33 benign and 11 malignant). There was significant agreement between the lesion orientation on US and MRI (kappa value = 0.901). The positive predictive values (PPV) for parallel orientation malignancy on MR and US imaging were 70.4% and 73.1%, respectively. CONCLUSION: A descriptor of orientation for breast lesions can be used on MRI with PPV for malignant lesions similar to US.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: A scoring system focusing on the risk of muscle layer invasion by Bladder cancer (BCa) has been released, Vesical Imaging - Radiological and Data System (VI-RADS), with a growing interest in evaluating its diagnostic accuracy. Our goal was to assess the accuracy and reproducibility of the VI-RADS score for assessment of the vesical muscular layer with (multiparametric-mp) and without (biparametric-bp) a dynamic-contrast enhancement (DCE) sequence. METHODS: Retrospective study conducted from July 2018 to July 2020. All patients had suspicions of BCa and underwent Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) before any intervention. MRI was interpreted by two radiologists with different levels of experience, and a VI-RADS score assigned in two different sessions (3 months apart) without and with DCE. After exclusions, 44 patients with 50 lesions were enrolled. The standard of reference was transurethral resection in 18 patients (40.9%) and cystectomy in 26 patients (59.1%). RESULTS: Twenty-five lesions (50%) were muscle-invasive. There was no significant difference between the two groups for gender and presence of a stalk, but mean age of NMIBCa group was significantly higher (p = 0.01). The sizes of lesions were significantly different between groups for both readers at 2.42+/- 1.58 vs. 5.70+/- 2.67 cm for reader 1 (p < 0.0001) and 2.37+/- 1.50 vs. 5.44 +/- 2.90 cm for reader 2 (p = 0.001). The area under the curve (AUC) for muscle invasion with mpVI-RADS, considering all lesions, was 0.885 +/- 0.04 (95% CI-0.79-0.98) for reader 1 and 0.924 +/- 0.04 (0.84-0.99) for reader 2, and for bpVI-RADS was 0.879+/- 0.05 and 0.916 +/- 0.04 (0.85-0.99), respectively, both differences not statistically significant (p = 0.24 and 0.07, respectively). When considering only small lesions (< 3.0 cm), the accuracy for mpVI-RADS was 0.795 +/- 0.11 (0.57-1.0) for reader1, and 0.80 +/- 0.11(0.57-1.0) for reader 2, a non-significant difference (p = 0.56) and for bpVI-RADS was 0.747 +/- 0.12 (0.50-0.99) for reader 1 and 0.80 +/- 0.11(0.57-1.0) for reader 2, a significant difference (p = 0.04). The intraclass correlation coefficient for the final score was 0.81 (0.60-1.0) for mpVI-RADS and 0.85 (0.63-1.0) for bpVI-RADS. CONCLUSION: The VI-RADS system was accurate in demonstrating muscle-invasive BCa, for both experienced and less experienced reader, regardless of the use of a DCE sequence. However, when only small lesions were assessed the difference between the two readers was significant only for the biparametric analysis. The reproducibility was similar between multiparametric and biparametric approach.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is diagnosed in paediatric patients at 5 months after symptom onset on average, and 38% die during the first 2.5 years of follow-up. This study aimed to compare the accuracy of Weiss, Van Slooten, and Wieneke histopathological ACC classifications for predicting follow-up prognosis in a paediatric population. METHODS: Data were retrieved from medical records of 57 patients aged <18 years who underwent surgical treatment for ACC with surgical follow-up over 6 months or death due to ACC. They were classified into either good (without recurrence/death due to ACC) or poor (with recurrence/death due to ACC) prognosis group. Two expert pathologists classified the ACC surgical specimens according to the Weiss, Van Slooten, and Wieneke criteria. RESULTS: The median follow-up duration was 126 (18-225) months in 38 males (66.7%) and 19 females (33.3%) (median age: 3 [1-6.5] years). The good prognosis group was younger than the poor prognosis group (median age: 3 [1.5-6.2] years vs. 5 [2-10] years). Seventeen (29.8%) patients in the poor prognosis group died due to ACC within the first 50 months of surgical follow-up; the earliest death occurred in the fourth follow-up month, and the majority of deaths occurred within 24 months of follow-up. The accuracies of Weiss, Van Slooten, and Wieneke classification systems were 40%, 47%, and 77%, respectively. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: The Wieneke classification showed the best accuracy but was not sufficiently precise to establish reliable prognosis for ACC in the paediatric population. The Wieneke classification had approximately 95% sensitivity and negative predictive value.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To determine whether magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and MR spectroscopic imaging findings can improve predictions made with the Kattan nomogram for radiation therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The institutional review board approved this retrospective HIPAA-compliant study. Ninety-nine men who underwent endorectal MR and MR spectroscopy before external-beam radiation therapy for prostate cancer (January 1998 to June 2007) were included. Linear predictors were calculated with input variables from the study sample and the Kattan original coefficients. The linear predictor is a single weighted value that combines information of all predictor variables in a model, where the weight of each value is its association with the outcome. Two radiologists independently reviewed all MR images to determine extent of disease; a third independent reader resolved discrepancies. Biochemical failure was defined as a serum prostate-specific antigen level of 2 ng/mL (2 µg/L) or more above nadir. Cox proportional hazard models were used to determine the probabilities of treatment failure (biochemical failure) in 5 years. One model included only the Kattan nomogram data; the other also incorporated imaging findings. The discrimination performance of all models was determined with receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analyses. These analyses were followed by an assessment of net risk reclassification. RESULTS: The areas under the ROC curve for the Kattan nomogram and the model incorporating MR imaging findings were 61.1% (95% confidence interval: 58.1%, 64.0%) and 78.0% (95% confidence interval: 75.7%, 80.4%), respectively. Comparison of performance showed that the model with imaging findings performed significantly better than did the model with clinical variables alone (P < .001). Overall, the addition of imaging findings led to an improvement in risk classification of about 28%, ranging from approximately a minimum of 16% to a maximum of 39%, depending on the risk change considered important. CONCLUSION: MR imaging data improve the prediction of biochemical failure with the Kattan nomogram after external-beam radiation therapy for prostate cancer. The number needed to image to improve the prediction of biochemical failure in one patient ranged from three to six.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency and incremental prognostic importance of gross locally advanced disease seen at endorectal MRI in patients with prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively identified the cases of all patients with biopsy-proven prostate cancer who underwent pretreatment endorectal MRI over a 6-year period (n = 1777). Three experienced radiologists identified by consensus patients with gross locally advanced disease, defined as unequivocal extracapsular extension or unequivocal seminal vesicle invasion. Outcome among these patients was compared with that in a control group without gross locally advanced disease matched by D'Amico risk stratification. RESULTS: Sixty-six of 1777 (3.7%) patients had gross locally advanced disease. One of 1085 (0.1%) patients had low-risk disease, 25 of 489 (5.1%) had intermediate-risk disease, and 40 of 203 (19.7%) had high-risk disease. Follow-up data were available for 44 of these 66 patients. During a median follow-up period of 79 months, biochemical failure and metastasis had developed in 17 and 6 of these 44 patients compared with 9 and none of the 65 patients in the control group (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Almost 4% of patients with prostate cancer, particularly those with intermediate- and high-risk disease, have gross locally advanced disease at endorectal MRI and have a significantly worse prognosis than matched controls. These patients may be candidates for more aggressive treatment.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of signal loss on in-phase (IP) gradient-echo (GRE) images for differentiation between renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) and lipid-poor angiomyolipomas (lpAMLs). METHODS: We retrospectively searched our institutional database for histologically proven small RCCs (<5.0 cm) and AMLs without visible macroscopic fat (lpAMLs). Two experienced radiologists assessed MRIs qualitatively, to depict signal loss foci on IP GRE images. A third radiologist drew regions of interest (ROIs) on the same lesions, on IP and out-of-phase (OP) images to calculate the ratio of signal loss. Diagnostic accuracy parameters were calculated for both techniques and the inter-reader agreement for the qualitative analysis was evaluated using the κ test. RESULTS: 15 (38.4%) RCCs lost their signal on IP images, with a sensitivity of 38.5% (95% CI = 23.4-55.4), a specificity of 100% (71.1-100), a positive predictive value (PPV) of 100% (73.4-100), a negative predictive value (NPV) of 31.4% (26.3-37.0), and an overall accuracy of 52% (37.4-66.3%). In terms of the quantitative analysis, the signal intensity index (SII= [(SIIP - SIOP) / SIOP] x 100) for RCCs was -0.132 ± 0.05, while for AMLs it was -0.031 ± 0.02, p = 0.26. The AUC was 0.414 ± -0.09 (0.237-0.592). Using 19% of signal loss as the threshold, sensitivity was 16% and specificity was 100%. The κappa value for subjective analysis was 0.63. CONCLUSION: Signal loss in "IP" images, assessed subjectively, was highly specific for distinction between RCCs and lpAMLs, although with low sensitivity. The findings can be used to improve the preoperative diagnostic accuracy of MRI for renal masses. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Signal loss on "IP" GRE images is a reliable sign for differentiation between RCC and lpAMLs.

RESUMEN

CONTEXT: A noninvasive multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based scoring system for predicting muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), the "Vesical Imaging Reporting and Data System" (VI-RADS), was recently developed by an international multidisciplinary panel. Since then, a few studies evaluating the value of VI-RADS for predicting MIBC have been published. OBJECTIVE: To review the diagnostic performance of VI-RADS for the prediction of MIBC. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: PubMed and EMBASE databases were searched up to November 10, 2019. We included diagnostic accuracy studies using VI-RADS to predict MIBC using cystectomy or transurethral resection as the reference standard. Methodological quality was evaluated with Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2. Sensitivity and specificity were pooled and plotted using hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristics (HSROC) modeling. Meta-regression analyses were done to explore heterogeneity. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: Six studies (1770 patients) were included. Pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.83 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.70-0.90) and 0.90 (95% CI 0.83-0.95), and the area under the HSROC curve was 0.94 (95% CI 0.91-0.95). Heterogeneity was present among the studies (Q = 29.442, p <  0.01; I2 = 87.93%, and 90.99% for sensitivity and specificity). Meta-regression analyses showed that the number of patients (>205 vs ≤205), magnetic field strength (3 vs 1.5 T), T2-weighted image slice thickness (3 vs 4 mm), and VI-RADS cutoff score (≥3 vs ≥4) were significant factors affecting heterogeneity (p ≤  0.03). CONCLUSIONS: VI-RADS shows good sensitivity and specificity for determining MIBC. Technical factors associated with MRI acquisition and cutoff scores need to be taken into consideration as they may affect performance. PATIENT SUMMARY: A recently established noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging-based scoring system shows good diagnostic performance in detecting muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
