• Different software packages are currently available for myocardial strain assessment using routinely acquired cine CMR images. • Global myocardial strain values are not interchangeable between vendors for global longitudinal and global radial strain. • Inter- and intra-observer reproducibility for global strain assessment is excellent. However, some vendors encounter problems to reproducibly measure global radial strain.
• Usefulness of DWI and ADC is shown in differential diagnosis of cirrhotic nodules. • Correlation of DWI with DPI improves differential diagnosis of cirrhotic nodules. • Characterization of atypically enhancing lesions becomes more confident.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
