Thirty tumors in 25 patients were studied (10 non-small cell lung cancers;20 pulmonary metastatic tumors). PET/CT was performed before RFA, 3 months after RFA, and 6 months after RFA. We assessed the FDG accumulation with the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) compared with the diameters of the lesions. The SUVmax had a decreasing tendency in the first 6 months and, at 6 months post-ablation, FDG accumulation was less affected by inflammatory changes than at 3 months post-RFA. The diameter of the ablated lesion exceeded that of the initial tumor at 3 months post-RFA and shrank to pre-ablation dimensions by 6 months post-RFA. SUVmax was more reliable than the size measurements by CT in the first 6 months after RFA, and PET/CT at 6 months post-RFA may be more appropriate for the assessment of FDG accumulation than that at 3 months post-RFA. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=AlafateAierken en-aut-sei=Alafate en-aut-mei=Aierken kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShinyaTakayoshi en-aut-sei=Shinya en-aut-mei=Takayoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=OkumuraYoshihiro en-aut-sei=Okumura en-aut-mei=Yoshihiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=SatoShuhei en-aut-sei=Sato en-aut-mei=Shuhei kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=HirakiTakao en-aut-sei=Hiraki en-aut-mei=Takao kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=IshiiHiroaki en-aut-sei=Ishii en-aut-mei=Hiroaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=GobaraHideo en-aut-sei=Gobara en-aut-mei=Hideo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=KatoKatsuya en-aut-sei=Kato en-aut-mei=Katsuya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=FujiwaraToshiyoshi en-aut-sei=Fujiwara en-aut-mei=Toshiyoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=MiyoshiShinichiro en-aut-sei=Miyoshi en-aut-mei=Shinichiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= en-aut-name=KajiMitsumasa en-aut-sei=Kaji en-aut-mei=Mitsumasa kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=11 ORCID= en-aut-name=KanazawaSusumu en-aut-sei=Kanazawa en-aut-mei=Susumu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=12 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Diagnostic Radiology & Interventional Radiology, Fukuyama City Hospital affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=9 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery Transplant and Surgical Oncology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=10 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of General Thoracic Surgery and Breast and Endocrinologica Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=11 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=12 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences en-keyword=fluorodeoxy glucose (FDG) kn-keyword=fluorodeoxy glucose (FDG) en-keyword=positron emission tomography (PET) kn-keyword=positron emission tomography (PET) en-keyword=standardized uptake value (SUV) kn-keyword=standardized uptake value (SUV) en-keyword=radiofrequency ablation (RFA) kn-keyword=radiofrequency ablation (RFA) en-keyword=non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) kn-keyword=non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=32 cd-vols= no-issue=3 article-no= start-page=375 end-page=381 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1992 dt-pub=19920620 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=2D-Time of Flight MR Angiography in Intrathoracic Masses kn-title=胸部腫瘤性病変における2D-Time of Flight MR Angiography en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract=MR Angiography of the thorax was performed in 5 healthy volunteers and 15 patients with intrathoracic masses. 2D-MRA was obtained sequentially by means of a fast low angle shot(FLASH)technique(TR=20msec.TE=8msec, Flip angle=30within a 6-second period of breath holding.

Traditionally, Date's formula, also called the segmental ratio, has used the number of lung segments to estimate the forced vital capacity (FVC) of grafts in LDLLT. To provide a more precise estimate of graft FVC, we calculated the volumes of the lower lobe and total lung using three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) and the volume ratio between them. We calculated the volume ratio in 52 donors and tested the difference between the segmental volume ratios with a one-tailed t-test. We also calculated the predicted graft FVC in 21 LDLLTs using the segmental ratio pFVC(c) and the volume ratio pFVC(v), and then found the Pearson's correlation coefficients for both pFVC(c) and pFVC(v) with the recipients' actual FVC (rFVC) measured spirometrically 6 months after surgery. Significant differences were found between the segmental ratio and the average volume ratio for both sides (right, p=0.03;left, p=0.0003). Both pFVC(c) and pFVC(v) correlated significantly with rFVC at 6 months after surgery (p=0.007 and 0.006). Both the conventional and the volumetric methods provided FVC predictions that correlated significantly with measured postoperative FVC. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KojimaKatsuhide en-aut-sei=Kojima en-aut-mei=Katsuhide kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KatoKatsuya en-aut-sei=Kato en-aut-mei=Katsuya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=OtoTakahiro en-aut-sei=Oto en-aut-mei=Takahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=MitsuhashiToshiharu en-aut-sei=Mitsuhashi en-aut-mei=Toshiharu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShinyaTakayoshi en-aut-sei=Shinya en-aut-mei=Takayoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=SeiTetsuro en-aut-sei=Sei en-aut-mei=Tetsuro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=OkumuraYoshihiro en-aut-sei=Okumura en-aut-mei=Yoshihiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=SatoShuhei en-aut-sei=Sato en-aut-mei=Shuhei kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=MiyoshiShinichiro en-aut-sei=Miyoshi en-aut-mei=Shinichiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=KanazawaSusumu en-aut-sei=Kanazawa en-aut-mei=Susumu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Cancer and Thoracic Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Epidemiology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=9 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Cancer and Thoracic Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=10 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences en-keyword=living-donor lobar lung transplantation kn-keyword=living-donor lobar lung transplantation en-keyword=3D-CT volumetry kn-keyword=3D-CT volumetry END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=107 cd-vols= no-issue=7-8 article-no= start-page=79 end-page=90 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1995 dt-pub=19950831 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Evaluation of renal function with dynamic MRI-T2* weighted gradient echo technique kn-title=T2*強調gradient echo法を用いたdynamic MRIによる腎機能評価に関する研究 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=To evaluate the usefulness of dynamic MRI of kidneys in healthy volunteers and patients with different 24-hour creatinine clearance (Ccr) levels, a dynamic study that employed the T2* weighted gradient echo technique (FLASH : TR/TE=34/25msec,flip angle=20 degrees) with single images during breathhold was performed on 10 healthy volunteers and 35 patients, all examined for the Ccr and suspected of having renal parenchmal disease after a phantom study. T1-weighted and dynamic MR imagings were obtained with a 1.5T imager.I andalyzed the time-intensity curve of renal cortex and medulla, and defined a cortex decreased ratio (CDR) and medulla decreased ratio (MDR) in comparison with the Ccr. The cortico-medullary difference ratio (CMDR) of T1WI were better correlated with the Cce. The parameters of the T2* dynamic MRI study (CDR, MDR) were better correlated with the Ccr than CMDR. Renal function can be quantitatively evaluated with the T2* dynamic MRI and there ia s possibility that we can qualitatively evaluate the renal dysfunction and estimate its cause. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KatoKatsuya en-aut-sei=Kato en-aut-mei=Katsuya kn-aut-name=加藤勝也 kn-aut-sei=加藤 kn-aut-mei=勝也 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部放射線医学教室 en-keyword=renal function kn-keyword=renal function en-keyword=Gd-DTPA kn-keyword=Gd-DTPA en-keyword=dynamic MRI kn-keyword=dynamic MRI en-keyword=creatinine clearance kn-keyword=creatinine clearance END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol= cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page= end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1995 dt-pub=19950331 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=T2* 強調 gradient echo 法を用いた dynamic MRI による腎機能評価に関する研究 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=加藤勝也 kn-aut-sei=加藤 kn-aut-mei=勝也 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 END
