“…IC was a directly measured parameter, and the other two were calculated parameters. The results of IC, NIC and λ HU were consistent with previous studies in the lung, liver and pancreas (19,(24)(25)(26). The IC in tumors or organs is typically a direct reflection of blood flow (27,28).…”

“…13e16 Subsequent elemental decomposition analyses can be performed to obtain iodinated attenuation maps, thereby allowing iodine density to be calculated so radiologists can address diagnostic problems. 6,17,18 In the present study, ICs were initially measured in a phantom experiment and the relative error rate was only 2% across commonly enhanced soft tissues. Thus, the consistency between spectral CT-measured ICs and the actual ICs was relatively high.…”

Background: Rathke's cleft cysts (RCCs) were diagnosed mostly by shape, signal intensity and enhancement characteristics on MR images. Objectives: To identify the diagnosis of RCC by an improved understanding about the cyst's localization in reference to the pituitary gland. Patients and Methods:We retrospectively evaluated 124 patients with pituitary cystic lesions, verified surgically and histologically. The patients were divided into RCC and cystic pituitary adenoma (CPA) groups. The cysts in both groups were observed and compared, focusing on the shape and size, as well as clinical and MRI features, especially localization. Receiver-operating-characteristic (ROC) curve was performed with the clinical and MRI findings between the groups. Results: The RCC group included 90 patients (33 men) with a mean age of 40.9 years, while the CPA group included 34 patients (12 men) with a mean age of 43.5 years. On MRI, the RCCs were mostly located without shift of the pituitary stalk on the coronal view, with the superior margin of the cyst lying behind or across the junction point of the pituitary stalk on the sagittal view. The ROC curve was performed, and the following two variables exhibited good performances in diagnosing RCCs: the coronal localization (sensitivity, 91.1%; specificity, 79.4%; AUC = 0.853, 95% confidence interval: 0.778 -0.910, P < 0.0001), and the sagittal localization (sensitivity, 88.9%; specificity, 91.2%; AUC = 0.889, 95% confidence interval: 0.821 -0.939, P < 0.0001). Conclusion: Cyst localization, observed easily on MRI, can be used as an effective parameter for diagnosing RCC and distinguishing it from a CPA.
