Background Accurate pre-operative imaging in pancreatic cancer helps avoid unsuccessful
surgical explorations and forewarns surgeons regarding aberrant anatomy. This review …

Objective To obtain a summary positive predictive value (sPPV) of contrast-enhanced CT in
determining resectability. Methods The MEDLINE and EMBASE databases from JAN2005 to …

OBJECTIVES: Contrast-enhanced harmonic endoscopic ultrasonography (CH-EUS), a
novel technology, visualizes parenchymal perfusion in the pancreas. This study …

OBJECTIVE. Diagnosis of malignancy and prognostic assessment continue to be problems
in the management of nonfunctioning pancreatic endocrine tumors. Histologic examination …

OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to evaluate the individual contributions of
arterial, pancreatic parenchymal, and portal venous phase (PVP) images and the utility of …

Background The optimal approach for detecting small pancreatic tumors is uncertain. We
compared multidetector CT (MDCT) with follow-up endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal MDCT scanning delay
for peripancreatic arterial, pancreatic parenchymal, peripancreatic venous, and hepatic …

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to create a model that predicts which breast
cancer patients will have sentinel lymph node (SLN)-only metastasis. METHODS: SLN …

The review discusses the potential role of volume perfusion CT (VPCT) in the diagnosis and
follow-up of different pathologies of the pancreas. VPCT enables a differentiation of different …

Purpose: To compare dynamic-contrast enhanced multirow detector computed tomography
(MDCT) including multiplanar reformatted images (MPR) and magnetic resonance imaging …
