  4/11/02 News from SCVIR: Pelvic MR sheds light on UFE... - [Cached Version]

  Researchers at Northwestern University Medical School in Chicago asked five interventional radiology attending physicians at a single university hospital to prospectively complete questionnaires before and after MRI was obtained in their evaluation of women presenting for potential UFE, according to Dr. Reed A. Omary, a professor of radiology at Northwestern.
  
  The questionnaires posed three queries to the physicians:
  
  What is your single most likely diagnosis prior to MR? What is your diagnostic confidence of this single diagnosis (in terms of 0% to 100% certainty)? What is your anticipated treatment plan prior to MR and what was your final treatment post-MR?
  
  ...
  MRI thus caused a mean gain in diagnostic confidence of 22%, Omary said.
  
  MRI changed the initial diagnoses of IRs in 11 patients (18%).Initial treatment plans changed in 12 patients (20%).Before MRI, 57/60 (95%) women were anticipated to receive UFE, but after MRI, UFE was not recommended in 10 of these 57 (18%) women.In these 10 women, IRs recommended surgery for eight, clinical management for one, and biopsy for one.
  
  "Interventional radiologists increasingly use pelvic MRI for this population, but the effect MR has on altering the diagnoses and treatment decisions had not been known," Omary said."Now we know that MR significantly alters the diagnoses and treatment plans of IRs evaluating women with presumed symptomatic fibroids."
  
  An audience member commented that since MR is expensive, he'd like to see it compared with high-quality ultrasound.
  
  Omary answered that, anecdotally, they had many patients who had had an ultrasound that showed diffuse fibroids.
  
  "Before MR, 98% of this population were thought to have fibroids.That dropped to 83% after MR," he said.

  A report published in the September 2000 issue of the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology by Dr. Reed Omary and colleagues showed that MR angiography considerably influenced diagnosis and treatment of patients with suspected renal allograft dysfunction.
  
  "What is the best method to use, the fastest, easiest, and most accurate?Whether it is nuclear medicine, ultrasound, or MRA tends to be based on the local expertise," said Omary, an assistant professor at Northwestern University.
  
  Some institutions, such as the University of Pittsburgh, choose not to perform any routine imaging exams on kidney transplant recipients.
  
  The liver is a different story.Routine postoperative screening is more common, with either CT, MR, or ultrasound.Potential trouble spots include vascular complications, such as thrombosis or stenosis, and fluid collection, such as hematomas.Imagers also check for regeneration by calculating liver volume.

  Reed Omary, M.D., a former RSNA Research & Education Foundation Bracco Diagnostics Research Scholar, has received a $100,000 grant from the American Cancer Society, Illinois Division.Dr. Omary, of Northwestern University School of Medicine in Chicago, received the grant for a study titled "Functional MRI Assessment of Hepatic Artery Embolization."
  ...
  Dr. Omary said he and his colleagues hope to gather important preliminary data for an upcoming National Institutes of Health R01 grant submission.He added that radiologists should be aware that the American Cancer Society can serve as an important avenue for potential grant funding.

  Dr Reed Omary of Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago described the study results as "promising for lesions that are very difficult to treat."But, according to Dr Omary, the proof of the pudding will require a randomized, controlled study that compares the freezing blast of cryotherapy with the cell cooking approach of radiofrequency.
