Dear Editor, I read with great interest the article titled "Association of subpleural ground-glass opacities with respiratory failure and RNAemia in COVID-19" by Nagaoka et al [1]. I congratulate the authors for this informative and valuable study. In this article,...
Letter to the Editor: “Comparison of diagnostic performance of the ACR and Kwak TIRADS applying the ACR TIRADS’ size thresholds for FNA”
Dear Editor, We read with interest the article by Sun Huh et al [1] in the Jul 2021 issue of European Radiology. In this article, the authors showed the modified Kwak-TIRADS incorporating the size thresholds of the ACR-TIRADS seen higher diagnostic performance and a...
Reply to the Letter to the Editor: “Proposed diagnostic volumetric bone mineral density thresholds for osteoporosis and osteopenia at the cervicothoracic spine in correlation to the lumbar spine”
Dear Editor, With great interest we have read the Letter to the Editor by Xiao Chen and colleagues regarding our publication “Proposed diagnostic volumetric bone mineral density thresholds for osteoporosis and osteopenia at the cervicothoracic spine in correlation to...
Letter to the Editor: “Proposed diagnostic volumetric bone mineral density thresholds for osteoporosis and osteopenia at the cervicothoracic spine in correlation to the lumbar spine”
Dear Editor, Screening for osteoporosis can be effective in reducing the incidence of fragility fractures [1]. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and quantitative computed tomography (QCT) based lumbar bone mineral density (LBMD) has been used for osteoporosis...
Letter to the Editor: “Diagnostic accuracy of coronary computed tomography angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) in patients before liver transplantation using CT-FFR machine learning algorithm”
Dear Editor, We read the article by Schuessler et al with interest [1]. In their study, they used a CT-FFR machine learning algorithm for differentiation of hemodynamically significant and non-significant coronary stenosis in patients evaluated for LT. In this study,...
