Der Atypische teratoid/rhabdoide Tumor (ATRT) und der primitive neuroektodermale Tumor (PNET) sind hochmaligne Tumorentitäten (WHO-Grad IV) des zentralen Nervensystems, die überwiegend im Kleinkindalter auftreten. Beide zeigen eine sehr heterogene morphologische Struktur und sind bisher nur mittels Histopathologie und Immunhistochemie voneinander zu differenzieren. Bisherige Untersuchungen ließen noch keine neuroradiologische Unterscheidbarkeit zwischen beiden Tumorentitäten erkennen. Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich anhand eines diesbezüglich einmalig großen Patientenkollektives (23 ATRT, 36 PNET) mit den spezifisichen morphologischen Kriterien des supratentoriellen (st) ATRT und PNET in der Magnetresonanztomographie (MRT). Die Patienten rekrutierten sich aus der multizentrischen Hirntumorstudie HIT 2000 (Teil des Kompetenznetzes der Hirntumorstudien der „Gesellschaft für pädiatrische Onkologie und Hämatologie“). Retrospektiv wurden MRT-Bilder aus einem Zeitraum von 5 Jahren ausgewertet. Untersucht wurden T1- und T2-Wichtung, nativ und unter Kontrastmittelapplikation. Zur Abgrenzung beider Entitäten voneinander wurden verschiedene Kriterien herausgearbeitet. Dazu zählten zunächst die Darstellung in der nativen T1-Wichtung, die Schärfe der Tumorbegrenzung, das zeitgleiche Vorliegen von Zysten, Ödemen und Blutungen sowie die Ausprägung des Kontrastmittel-Enhancements. Als zentrales Ergebnis der Arbeit konnte ein markantes strukturelles Muster des Kontrastmittel-Enhancements herausgearbeitet werden, welches sich als charakteristisch für den stATRT erwies, während es nur bei einem sehr geringen Prozentsatz der stPNETs anzutreffen war. Hierbei handelt es sich um ein girlandenförmiges Band, welches den Tumor randständig um eine zentrale Nekrose herum auskleidet. Dieses als „ATRT-typisch“ bezeichnete Muster wiesen zehn der stATRTs (43,5%) und drei der stPNETs (8,3%) auf. Darüber hinaus konnte man bei fünf stATRTs (21,7%) Areale mit wie in der Girlande anzutreffenden vesikulären Strukturen aber ohne begleitende zentrale Tumornekrose beobachten. Nur ein stPNET (2,8%) wies ebenfalls vesikuläre Anteile ohne zentrale Nekrose auf. Es konnten somit charakteristische Muster identifiziert werden, welche auffällig häufig in Kontrastmittel-verstärkten T1-gewichteten MRT-Bildern des stATRT in Erscheinung treten, während sie bei stPNETs nur ausgesprochen selten vorzufinden sind.
In einem Zeitraum von Oktober 1997 bis Mai 1998 werden an 19 Patienten 22 Untersuchungen der Becken- und Bein-Arterien sowohl in MRA-Technik als auch als i.a. DSA durchgeführt. Hierbei finden im Rahmen der MRA-Untersuchung in allen Fällen die zeitaufgelöste, Kontrastmittel-unterstützte 3d-Flash-Sequenz und die EKG-getriggerte 2d-Flash-Multivenc-Pha-senkontrast-Sequenz Anwendung. Beide Methoden werden in der Diagnostik der pAVK von der Aortenbifurkation bis zum distalen Unterschenkel getestet und in 3 Fällen im Rahmen einer periinterventionellen Kontrolle vor und nach PTA eingesetzt. Das Patientenkollektiv setzt sich ausnahmslos aus Patienten mit pAVK zusammen, die häufig Nebenbefunde wie zum Beispiel einen Diabetes mellitus oder eine Niereninsuffizienz aufweisen. Die Auswertung der Angiographien erfolgt durch die Zuordnung der verschiedenen arte-riellen Abschnitte zu verschiedenen Stenosegraden und dem anschließenden statistischen Ver-gleich der Befunde der MRA und der i.a.DSA. Als Ergebnisse erhalten wir für die Kontrastmittel-unterstützte MRA eine Übereinstim-mungsrate mit der i.a. DSA von 79% sowie eine Sensitivität von 96,7% und eine Spezifität von 97% für die Abbildung hämodynamisch relevanter Stenosen. Die Sensitivität für die Detektion von Verschlüssen beträgt 97,8% und die entsprechende Spezifität 99,2%. Die Phasenkontrast-MRA zeigt im Vergleich mit der i.a.DSA eine schwächere Überein-stimmungsrate von 65,4% sowie eine Sensitivität von 88,3% und eine Spezifität von 85,6% für die Darstellung hämodynamisch relevanter Stenosen. Für die Diagnose eines Gefäßverschlus-ses ist die Sensitivität 89% und die Spezifität 91,8%. Als Schlußfolgerung wird festgestellt, daß die MRA eine nichtinvasive, zur i.a.DSA äqui-valente Untersuchungsmethode darstellt, die bei Kontraindikationen gegen die i.a.DSA einge-setzt werden kann. Im Vergleich zur Phasenkontrast-MRA ist die Kontrastmittel-unterstützte MRA sowohl ein schnelleres als auch ein präziseres Verfahren zur Diagnostik von Gefäßläsio-nen der Becken-Bein-Arterien und bietet den Vorteil der 3-dimensionalen Darstellung. Die Phasenkontrast-MRA ist insbesondere durch die einfache Durchführbarkeit und die fehlende Invasivität ebenfalls als Verfahren zur Diagnostik der peripheren AVK denkbar, jedoch ist zur exakten Stenosegraduierung im Bereich der Läsion eine nachgeschaltete Untersuchung mit weiteren Methoden nötig. Die MRA kann in der postinterventionellen, angiographischen Kontrolle eingesetzt werden. Für die Empfehlung zum routinemäßigen Einsatz in diesem Bereich sind jedoch Studien mit größeren Fallzahlen nötig. In naher Zukunft läßt sich die MRA-Technik durch die Entwicklung von leistungsfähi-geren Gradientenspulensystemen, neuen Prototypen von Oberflächenspulen, intelligenteren Nachverarbeitungs-Algorhytmen und Blutpool-Kontrastmitteln noch weiter optimieren. Die Evolution der MRA-Technik wird ihre Integration in die Routinediagnostik vereinfachen und ihr Indikationsspektrum erweitern.
Purpose
Artificial neural networks show promising performance in automatic segmentation of cardiac MRI. However, training requires large amounts of annotated data and generalization to different vendors, field strengths, sequence parameters, and pathologies is limited. Transfer learning addresses this challenge, but specific recommendations regarding type and amount of data required is lacking. In this study, we assess data requirements for transfer learning to experimental cardiac MRI at 7T where the segmentation task can be challenging. In addition, we provide guidelines, tools, and annotated data to enable transfer learning approaches by other researchers and clinicians.
Methods
A publicly available segmentation model was used to annotate a publicly available data set. This labeled data set was subsequently used to train a neural network for segmentation of left ventricle and myocardium in cardiac cine MRI. The network is used as starting point for transfer learning to 7T cine data of healthy volunteers (n = 22; 7873 images) by updating the pre-trained weights. Structured and random data subsets of different sizes were used to systematically assess data requirements for successful transfer learning.
Results
Inconsistencies in the publically available data set were corrected, labels created, and a neural network trained. On 7T cardiac cine images the model pre-trained on public imaging data, acquired at 1.5T and 3T, achieved DICE\(_{LV}\) = 0.835 and DICE\(_{MY}\) = 0.670. Transfer learning using 7T cine data and ImageNet weight initialization improved model performance to DICE\(_{LV}\) = 0.900 and DICE\(_{MY}\) = 0.791. Using only end-systolic and end-diastolic images reduced training data by 90%, with no negative impact on segmentation performance (DICE\(_{LV}\) = 0.908, DICE\(_{MY}\) = 0.805).
Conclusions
This work demonstrates and quantifies the benefits of transfer learning for cardiac cine image segmentation. We provide practical guidelines for researchers planning transfer learning projects in cardiac MRI and make data, models, and code publicly available.
Background
Children with different underlying malignant diseases require long-term central venous access. As for port systems in a pectoral position, peripherally implanted port systems in the forearm revealed high levels of technical and clinical success in adult cohorts.
Objective
To investigate the technical and clinical outcomes of percutaneous central venous port implantation in the forearm in adolescents.
Materials and methods
Between April 2010 and August 2020, 32 children ages 9 to 17 years with underlying malignancy received 35 totally implantable venous access ports (TIVAPs) in the forearm. All venous port systems were peripherally inserted under ultrasound guidance. Correct catheter placement was controlled by fluoroscopy. As primary endpoints, the technical success, rate of complications and catheter maintenance were analyzed. Secondary endpoints were the side of implantation, vein of catheter access, laboratory results on the day of the procedure, procedural radiation exposure, amount of contrast agent and reasons for port device removal.
Results
Percutaneous TIVAP placement under sonographic guidance was technically successful in 34 of 35 procedures (97.1%). Procedure-related complications did not occur. During the follow-up, 13,684 catheter days were analyzed, revealing 11 complications (0.8 per 1,000 catheter-duration days), Of these 11 complications, 7 were major and 10 occurred late. In seven cases, the port device had to be removed; removal-related complications did not occur.
Conclusion
Peripheral TIVAP placement in the forearms of children is a feasible, effective and safe technique with good midterm outcome. As results are comparable with standard access routes, this technique may be offered as an alternative when intermittent venous access is required.
Purpose
To evaluate the technical and clinical outcome of Sinus-XL stent placement in patients with malignant obstruction syndrome of the inferior vena cava.
Methods
Between October 2010 and January 2021, 21 patients with different malignant primary disease causing inferior vena cava obstruction were treated with Sinus-XL stent implantation. Procedural data, technical and clinical outcome parameters were retrospectively analyzed.
Results
Technical success was 100%. Analysis of available manometry data revealed a significant reduction of the mean translesional pressure gradient following the procedure (p = 0.008). Reintervention rate was 4.8% (1/21). The available follow-up imaging studies showed primary and primary-assisted stent patency rates of 93% (13/14) and 100% (14/14), respectively. Major complications did not occur. The clinical success regarding lower extremity edema was 82.4% (14/17) for the first and 85.7% (18/21) for the last follow-up. Longer lengths of IVC obstruction were associated with reduced clinical improvement after the procedure (p = 0.025). Improvement of intraprocedural manometry results and lower extremity edema revealed only minor correlation. Ascites and anasarca were not significantly positively affected by the procedure.
Conclusion
Sinus-XL stent placement in patients with malignant inferior vena cava obstruction showed high technical success and low complication rates. Regarding the clinical outcome, significant symptom improvement could be achieved in lower extremity edema, whereas ascites and anasarca lacked satisfying symptom relief. Based on our results, this procedure should be considered as a suitable therapy in a palliative care setting for patients with advanced malignant disease.
Background: Endovascular therapy is the gold standard in patients with hemodynamic relevant renal artery stenosis (RAS) resistant to medical therapy. The severity grading of the stenosis as well as the result assessment after endovascular approach is predominantly based on visible estimations of the anatomic appearance. We aim to investigate the application of color-coded DSA parameters to gain hemodynamic information during endovascular renal artery interventions and for the assessment of the procedures technical success.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 32 patients who underwent endovascular renal artery revascularization and applied color-coded summation imaging on selected monochromatic DSA images. The differences in time to peak (dTTP) of contrast enhancement in predefined anatomical measuring points were analyzed. Furthermore, differences in systolic blood pressure values (SBP) and serum creatinine were obtained. The value of underlying diabetes mellitus as a predictor for clinical outcome was assessed. Correlation analysis between the patients gender as well as the presence of diabetes mellitus and dTTP was performed.
Results: Endovascular revascularization resulted in statistically significant improvement in 4/7 regions of interest. Highly significant improvement of perfusion in terms of shortened TTP values could be found at the segmental artery level and in the intrastenotical segment (p<0.001), significant improvement prestenotical and in the apical renal parenchyma (p<0.05). In the other anatomic regions, differences revealed not to be significant. Differences between SBP and serum creatinine levels before and after the procedure were significant (p=0.004 and 0.0004). Patients ' gender as well as the presence of diabetes mellitus did not reveal to be predictors for the clinical success of the procedure. Furthermore, diabetes and gender did not show relevant correlation with dTTP in the parenchymal measuring points.
Conclusions: The supplementary use of color-coding DSA and the data gained from parametric images may provide helpful information in the evaluation of the procedures ' technical success. The segmental artery might be a particularly suitable vascular territory for analyzing differences in blood flow characteristics. Further studies with larger cohorts are needed to further confirm the diagnostic value of this technique.
Background
To analyze the benefit of color-coded summation images in the assessment of target lumen perfusion in patients with aortic dissection and malperfusion syndrome before and after fluoroscopy-guided aortic fenestration.
Methods
Between December 2011 and April 2020 25 patients with Stanford type A (n = 13) or type B dissection (n = 12) and malperfusion syndromes were treated with fluoroscopy-guided fenestration of the dissection flap using a re-entry catheter. The procedure was technically successful in 100% of the cases and included additional iliofemoral stent implantation in four patients. Intraprocedural systolic blood pressure measurements for gradient evaluation were performed in 19 cases. Post-processed color-coded DSA images were obtained from all DSA series before and following fenestration. Differences in time to peak (dTTP) values in the compromised aortic lumen and transluminal systolic blood pressure gradients were analyzed retrospectively. Correlation analysis between dTTP and changes in blood pressure gradients was performed.
Results
Mean TTP prior to dissection flap fenestration was 6.85 ± 1.35 s. After fenestration, mean TTP decreased significantly to 4.96 ± 0.94 s (p < 0.001). Available systolic blood pressure gradients between the true and the false lumen were reduced by a median of 4.0 mmHg following fenestration (p = 0.031), with significant reductions in Stanford type B dissections (p = 0.013) and minor reductions in type A dissections (p = 0.530). A moderate correlation with no statistical significance was found between dTTP and the difference in systolic blood pressure (r = 0.226; p = 0.351).
Conclusions
Hemodynamic parameters obtained from color-coded DSA confirmed a significant reduction of TTP values in the aortic target lumen in terms of an improved perfusion in the compromised aortic region. Color-coded DSA might thus be a suitable complementary tool in the assessment of complex vascular patterns prevailing in aortic dissections, especially when blood pressure measurements are not conclusive or feasible.
Der allgemeinradiologische Ultraschall leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag in der Routinediagnostik der akuten Appendizitis bei Kindern und Erwachsenen. Die Zusammenschau aller verfügbaren diagnostischen Befunde sollte zur Entscheidung für oder gegen eine Operation herangezogen werden. Die sonographische Untersuchung kann dazu beitragen, die Negativ Appendektomierate zu senken.
Background:
Ketogenic diets (KDs) or short-term fasting are popular trends amongst supportive approaches for cancer patients. Beta-hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB) is the main physiological ketone body, whose concentration can reach plasma levels of 2–6 mM during KDs or fasting. The impact of 3-OHB on the biology of tumor cells described so far is contradictory. Therefore, we investigated the effect of a physiological concentration of 3 mM 3-OHB on metabolism, proliferation, and viability of breast cancer (BC) cells in vitro.
Methods:
Seven different human BC cell lines (BT20, BT474, HBL100, MCF-7, MDA-MB 231, MDA-MB 468, and T47D) were cultured in medium with 5 mM glucose in the presence of 3 mM 3-OHB at mild hypoxia (5% oxygen) or normoxia (21% oxygen). Metabolic profiling was performed by quantification of the turnover of glucose, lactate, and 3-OHB and by Seahorse metabolic flux analysis. Expression of key enzymes of ketolysis as well as the main monocarboxylic acid transporter MCT2 and the glucose-transporter GLUT1 was analyzed by RT-qPCR and Western blotting. The effect of 3-OHB on short- and long-term cell proliferation as well as chemo- and radiosensitivity were also analyzed.
Results:
3-OHB significantly changed the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) in BT20 cells resulting in a more oxidative energetic phenotype. MCF-7 and MDA-MB 468 cells had increased ECAR only in response to 3-OHB, while the other three cell types remained uninfluenced. All cells expressed MCT2 and GLUT1, thus being able to uptake the metabolites. The consumption of 3-OHB was not strongly linked to mRNA overexpression of key enzymes of ketolysis and did not correlate with lactate production and glucose consumption. Neither 3-OHB nor acetoacetate did interfere with proliferation. Further, 3-OHB incubation did not modify the response of the tested BC cell lines to chemotherapy or radiation.
Conclusions:
We found that a physiological level of 3-OHB can change the energetic profile of some BC cell lines. However, 3-OHB failed to influence different biologic processes in these cells, e.g., cell proliferation and the response to common breast cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Thus, we have no evidence that 3-OHB generally influences the biology of breast cancer cells in vitro.
Purpose: In hepatocellular carcinoma patients with large or multinodal tumors, where curative treatment options are not feasible, transarterial therapies play a major role. Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) with drug-eluting beads (DEB-TACE) is a promising new approach due to higher intratumoral and lower systemic concentration of the chemotherapeutic agent compared to conventional TACE (cTACE).
Patients and methods: In a retrospective analysis, 32 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who received either DEB or a cTACE were compared regarding survival time, disease recurrence, and side effects such as pain and fever.
Results: No significant differences could be detected between the cTACE and DEB-TACE groups with regard to mean hospital stay, appearance of postinterventional fever, or 30-day mortality. However, the application of intravenous analgesics as postinterventional pain medication was needed more often in patients treated with DEB-TACE (57.1% vs 12.5%, P=0.0281). The overall median survival after the initial procedure was 10.8 months in the cTACE group and 9.2 months in the DEB-TACE group, showing no significant difference.
Conclusion: No survival benefit for patients treated with either DEB-TACE or cTACE was observed. Surprisingly, a higher rate of postinterventional pain could be detected after DEB-TACE.
