Background: Endometrial cancer is the second most common new case reproductive organ cancer in the world after cervical cancer. Two different clinicopathologic subtypes of endometrial cancer are categorized: estrogen related (type I) and nonestrogen related (type II). Type I endometrial cancer accounts for approximately 75 percent of all endometrial cancer cases. Primary management for endometrial cancer is surgery. Operation procedure and adjuvant treatment of type I endometrial cancer were affected by some variables assessed preoperatively. Myometrial invasion and cervical involvement are important prognostic variables in type I endometrial cancer. Magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging is promising in evaluation of myometrial invasion and cervical involvement.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study to analyze the result of magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging in evaluating myometrial invasion and cervical involvement. This study involved all type I endometrial cancer patients in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital from April 2016 until April 2019. The depth of myometrial invasion and cervical involvement was examined using 1,5-T MR unit. The result was compared to the surgical pathologic findings as the reference standard.

Result: 34 patients were enrolled in this study. Patient age was ranged from 22 until 73 years old. All of the patient pathologic findings were type I endometrial cancer. Evaluation using magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging showed 22 patients (64,7%) had ≥ 1/2 myometrial invasion and 12 patients (35,3%) had < 1/2 myometrial invasion; 6 patients (17,6%) had cervical involvement and 28 patients (82,4%) had not cervical involvement. Based on surgical pathologic findings, there were 17 patients (50%) had ≥ 1/2 myometrial invasion and also for the patient with < 1/2 myometrial invasion; 7 patients (20,6%) had cervical involvement and 27 patients (79,4%) had not cervical involvement. Sensitivity and specificity of magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging to evaluate myometrial invasion in type I endometrial cancer were 94,12% and 64,71%, respectively. Sensitivity and specificity of magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging to evaluate cervical involvement in type I endometrial cancer were 57,14% and 92,59%, respectively.

Conclusion: Magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging can provide reliable prognostic variable information about myometrial invasion and cervical involvement in preoperative preparation of endometrial cancer patients.

"Latar belakang: Kanker payudara adalah kanker dengan insiden tertinggi dan penyebab kematian utama akibat kanker pada perempuan di dunia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) adalah modalitas pencitraan yang memiliki sensitivitas tinggi, tetapi spesifisitas terbatas, dalam mendeteksi kanker payudara. Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) dan magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) adalah sequence MRI fungsional yang dilaporkan memiliki spesifisitas yang lebih baik dibandingkan protokol MRI standar dalam membedakan lesi payudara jinak dan ganas. Telaah sistematis dan meta-analisis ini dibuat dengan tujuan membandingkan akurasi diagnostik sequence DWI dan MRS dalam membedakan lesi payudara jinak dan ganas. Metode: Pencarian sistematis dilakukan untuk mengidentifikasi studi yang membandingkan akurasi diagnostik antara sequence DWI dan MRS dalam membedakan lesi payudara jinak dan ganas yang terdeteksi lewat pemeriksaan fisik atau radiologis, dengan referensi baku pemeriksaan patologi anatomi. Pencarian dilakukan pada Maret 2021 lewat data dasar Scopus dan PubMed menggunakan kata kunci yan telah ditentukan, daftar pustaka dari artikel terpilih, dan grey literature. Temuan utama yang diekstraksi dari tiap studi adalah jumlah positif benar, positif palsu, negatif benar, dan negatif palsu untuk mendapatkan nilai sensitivitas, spesifisitas, likelihood ratio (LR), dan diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) masing-masing uji indeks. Penilaian kualitas metodologi studi dilakukan menggunakan QUADAS-2. Penilaian kualitas bukti dilakukan menggunakan GRADE. Hasil: Delapan studi (632 perempuan, 687 lesi payudara) diidentifikasi. Proporsi lesi ganas payudara 38,2–72,4%. Tiga studi menunjukkan risiko bias yang tinggi pada salah satu domain. Empat studi menunjukkan setidaknya dua risiko bias yang tidak jelas. Sensitivitas spesifisitas, LR+, LR-, dan DOR sequence DWI secara berturutan adalah 90% (95% CI 86–93%), 83% (95% CI 67–93%), 5,4 (95% CI 2,6–11,4), 0,12 (95% CI 0,09–0,17), dan 45 (95% CI 18–109). Sensitivitas, spesifisitas, LR+, LR-, dan DOR sequence MRS secara berturutan adalah 85% (95% CI 66–94%), 85% (95% CI 76–91%), 5,7 (95% CI 3,3–10,0), 0,17 (95% CI 0,07–0,45), dan 33 (95% CI 8–131). Kualitas bukti rendah–sedang. Kesimpulan: Sequence DWI dan MRS memiliki akurasi diagnostik yang hampir sebanding dalam membedakan lesi payudara jinak dan ganas. Sequence DWI memiliki sensitivitas lebih baik, sedangkan sequence MRS memiliki spesifisitas lebih baik. Akan tetapi, penerapan temuan telaah sistematis dan meta-analisis ini terbatas karena kualitas metodologi studi dan kualitas bukti yang terbatas.

Background: Breast cancer is cancer with the highest incidence and leading cause of cancer death among women worldwide. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imaging modality of high sensitivity, but limited specificity in detecting breast cancer. Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) are functional MRI sequences reported to have higher specificity compared to standard MRI protocol in differentiating benign and malignant breast lesions. This systematic review and meta-analysis are written to compare diagnostic accuracy of DWI and MRS sequence in differentiating benign and malignant breast lesion. Methods: Studies that compared diagnostic accuracy of DWI and MRS sequence in differentiating benign and malignant breast lesions, previously detected through physical or radiological examination, with pathological examination as reference standard were identified. Scopus and PubMed were systematically searched through March 2021. Reference lists of eligible studies and various grey literatures searches were searched additionally. Findings extracted from each eligible study included true positive, true negative, false positive, dan false negative value to estimate sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratio (LR), and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) of each index tests. Methodological quality was assessed using QUADAS-2. Evidence quality was summarized using GRADE. Results: Eight studies (632 women, 687 breast lesions) were identified. Proportion of malignant breast lesions were 38.2–72.4%. Three studies displayed high risks of bias in one domain. Four studies displayed at least two unclear risk of bias. Sensitivity, specificity, LR+, LR-, and DOR of DWI sequence were 90% (95% CI 86–93%), 83% (95% CI 67–93%), 5.4 (95% CI 2.6–11.4), 0.12 (95% CI 0.09–0.17), and 45 (95% CI 18–109), respectively. Sensitivity, specificity, LR+, LR-, and DOR of MRS sequence were 85% (95% CI 66–94%), 85% (95% CI 76–91%), 5.7 (95% CI 3.3–10.0), 0.17 (95% CI 0.07–0.45), and 33 (95% CI 8–131), respectively. The quality of evidence was low to moderate. Conclusion: DWI and MRS sequence has comparable diagnostic accuracy in differentiating benign and malignant breast lesions. DWI sequence has higher sensitivity, while MRS sequence has higher specificity. However, limited methodological and evidence quality limits the application of research findings."

"The idea of using the enormous potential of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) not only for diagnostic but also for interventional purposes may seem obvious, but it took major efforts by engineers, physicists, and clinicians to come up with dedicated interventional techniques and scanners, and improvements are still ongoing. Since the inception of interventional MRI in the mid-1990s, the numbers of settings, techniques, and clinical applications have increased dramatically. This state of the art book covers all aspects of interventional MRI. The more technical contributions offer an overview of the fundamental ideas and concepts and present the available instrumentation. The richly illustrated clinical contributions, ranging from MRI-guided biopsies to completely MRI-controlled therapies in various body regions, provide detailed information on established and emerging applications and identify future trends and challenges."

Background: Endometrial carcinoma is most common gynecologic malignancy that occurs usually in postmenopausal women. Imaging examination, especially MRI, is important in determining the staging and involvement of intrapelvic organs, which will determine the therapy for the patient. Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) can be used to help distinguish benign or malignant lesions, grading and expansion of the lesion, but unfortunately this technique produced heterogeneous values. Currently a new technique is developing that compares the tissue ADC value of lesions with healthy tissue, resulting more homogeneous values.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to prove the average value of the ADC ratio has more homogeneous results than the average value of the ADC.

Methods: This study uses a cross-sectional descriptive design, using secondary data. The study was conducted from December 2018 to March 2019, with a total sample of 21.

Result: The median ADC value of endometrial, urine, and myometrial tumors was 0.58 mm2 / s, 3.26 mm2 / s, and 1.52 mm2 / s. Based on coefficient of variation (COV) the ADC ratio value is more homogeneous compared to the tumor ADC value (tumor-urine ADC ratio value is 35.1%, myometrial tumor 41.7%, and tumor ADC 42.2%).

Conclusion: The ADC ratio value has a more homogeneous value than the ADC value, so it can be used as a non-invasive parameter in evaluating tumors."

"Penilaian karakteristik asimetris dinding nasofaring pada karsinoma nasofaring KNF pasca terapi memiliki implikasi penting pada penatalaksanaan pasien, tetapi seringkali sulit untuk mendiferensiasikan antara lesi tumoral dan non tumoral menggunakan CT scan/ MRI konvensional. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui titik potong nilai ADC antara lesi tumoral dan non tumoral pada follow up MRI pasca terapi. Penelitian merupakan studi kesesuaian dengan pendekatan potong lintang antara nilai ADC dan histopatologi. Penelitian menggunakan data primer 21 pasien KNF pasca kemoradioterapi yang melakukan pemeriksaan MRI nasofaring di Departemen Radiologi RSUPN-CM pada Juni 2016-Oktober 2017. Range of interest dan pemetaan ADC nilai b 1000 s/mm2 diletakkan pada komponen solid. Rerata jarak terapi dan evaluasi MRI pasca terapi adalah 9,3 bulan. Rerata nilai ADC lesi tumoral 0,7 x 10-3 mm2/s SD 0,05 dan non tumoral 1,2 x 10-3 mm2/s SD 0,3. Pada uji independent T-test menunjukkan perbedaan bermakna secara statistik antara rerata nilai ADC tumoral dan non tumoral. Pada analisis ROC nilai ADC didapatkan titik potong 0,86 x 10-3 mm2/s AUC= 0,97; SE= 0,04 dengan nilai sensitivitas 100 dan spesifisitas 93,8. Berdasarkan uji McNemar nilai p> 0,005 menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan bermakna antara temuan ADC dan histopatologi. Terdapat kesesuaian yang sangat kuat antara nilai ADC dan histopatologi untuk membedakan lesi tumoral dan non tumoral KNF pasca terapi. Pemeriksaan MRI sekuens DWI-ADC dapat digunakan untuk memberikan informasi tambahan pada kasus follow up KNF pasca terapi.

Assessment of nasopharyngeal wall asymmetric characteristics of post treatment nasopharyngeal carcinoma NPC has important implication for management of the patients, but it is often difficult to distinguish between non tumoral and tumoral lession by using CT scan conventional MRI. The objective is to assess ADC cut off values between tumoral and non tumoral lession on MRI follow up after treatment. This research is a conformity study with cross sectional approach between ADC values compared with histopathology. This study used primary data of 21 post chemoradiotherapy NPC patients, who were examined nasopharnygeal MRI at Radiology Departement of Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital in June 2016 October 2017. Range of interest ROI and ADC mapping b value 1000 s mm2 were placed on solid components. Mean interval between therapy and post treatment MRI was 9.3 months. Mean ADC values of tumoral lesions were 0.7 x 10 3 mm2 s SD 0.05 and non tumoral lession 1.2 x 10 3 mm2 s SD 0.3 . Independent T test showed statistically significant difference between the mean ADC values in tumoral and non tumoral lesions. In ROC analysis, ADC cut off value was obtained 0,86 x 10 3 mm2 s AUC 0,97 SE 0,04 with 100 sensitivity and 93,8 specificity. Based on the McNemar test p 0,05 , there was no significant difference between ADC findings and histopathology. There is very strong suitability between ADC and histopathologic values to differentiate tumoral and non tumoral lession in post treatment NPC. DWI ADC can be used to provide additional information on follow up post treatment NPC. "

"Latar Belakang: Edema peritumoral kerap dihubungkan dengan gejala neurologis dan progresivitas pada glioblasoma. Peran nilai Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) pada Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), faktor demografi dan gejala klinis dalam memrediksi derajat edema peritumoral masih belum banyak diketahui, sehingga perlu telaah lebih lanjut. Tujuan: Menilai hubungan nilai ADC intratumoral, faktor demografi dan gejala klinis dengan derajat edema peritumoral. Metode: Studi crossectional dengan data sekunder di RSUPN Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo pada tahun 2014-2022. Seluruh sampel memiliki hasil MRI dengan sekuens DWI-ADC. Setiap variabel bebas dan tergantung dianalisis secara bivariat menggunakan uji Chi-square; untuk variabel bebas dengan nilai p<0,25 dilakukan analisis multivariat. Derajat edema peritumoral pada MRI dibagi menjadi mayor (>1cm) dan minor (<1cm). Hasil: 78 pasien dianalisis; didapatkan hubungan yang bermakna antara nilai ADC intratumoral dengan derajat edema peritumoral pada nilai cut off  ≤0,75 x 10-3 mm2/s (p <0,001). Tidak terdapat hubungan antara usia ≤60 tahun, jenis kelamin, sakit kepala, penurunan kesadaran dan papil edema dengan derajat edema peritumoral, sedangkan usia >60 tahun mutlak mengalami edema mayor. Kesimpulan: Pasien dengan nilai ADC ≤0,75 x 10-3 mm2/s memiliki kemungkinan mengalami edema peritumoral mayor lebih besar.

Background: Peritumoral edema is often associated to neurological symptoms and progression in glioblastoma. The role of the Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), demographic and clinical symptoms in predicting the degree of peritumoral edema not much known, so further studies are needed.

Objective: To assess the relationship between intratumoral ADC value, demographic and clinical symptoms with the degree of peritumoral edema.

Methods: Cross-sectional study with secondary data at RSUPN Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo in 2014-2022. All samples had MRI with DWI-ADC sequence. Each independent and dependent variable was analyzed bivariately using the Chi-square test; independent variables with p <0.05, multivariate analysis was performed. Peritumoral edema on MRI are divided into major (>1cm) and minor (<1cm).

Results: 78 patients were analyzed; a significant relationship was found between intratumoral ADC value and degree of peritumoral edema at cut-off value of ≤0.75 x 10-3 mm2/s (p <0.001). There is no relationship between age ≤60, gender, headache, loss of consciousness and papilledema with the degree of peritumoral edema, whereas age >60 years has absolute major edema.

Conclusion: Patients with ADC values ≤0.75 x 10-3 mm2/s have a greater likelihood of developing major edema."

"ABSTRACTBackground: routine blood transfusion in transfusion-dependent-thalassemia (TDT) causes iron accumulation in various organ. Serum markers of iron overload, serum ferritin and transferrin saturation, are sensitive but not specific. MRI T2-star (T2*) is valuable for detecting iron level in organs. This study aimed to explore the degree of iron overload in various organs, iron deposition difference between children and adults, also its correlation with serum marker of iron overload. Methods: this was a cross-sectional study of TDT patients who had been evaluated by MRI T2* examination in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital from 2014 to 2018. Results: a total of 546 subjects was included in this study. The number of subjects between children and adults was almost equal. Most of subjects had normal cardiac iron deposition. The difference of cardiac iron overload between children and adults was significant (p=0.009). Liver evaluation showed that most of subjects had moderate to severe iron overload. This difference between children and adults was significant (p=0.017). Pancreas evaluation showed that either children or adults mostly had mild pancreatic iron overload. Analysis of T2* showed that pancreatic iron deposition progressed with increasing age. Serum ferritin had weak correlation with heart T2* MRI, moderate correlation with pancreas and liver T2* MRI. Relationship between transferrin saturation and T2* MRI was extremely weak. Conclusion: cardiac and hepatic iron deposition between children and adults differ significantly. Liver has the greatest iron overload, followed by pancreas and heart. Iron deposition in liver and pancreas has been started from earlier age. Pancreatic iron deposition rises with increasing age. Serum ferritin and transferrin saturation should not be used solely to predict iron overload in various organs. We suggest that MRI evaluation must be conducted at least once to assess iron deposition in organs."
