    Abstract In pre-clinical models of brain gliomas, Relaxation Along a Fictitious Field in second rotating frame (TRAFF2), continues wave T1rho (T1ρcw), adiabatic T1rho (T1ρadiab), and adiabatic T2rho (T2ρadiab) relaxation time mappings have demonstrated potential to non-invasively characterize brain gliomas. Our aim was to evaluate the feasibility and potential of 4 different spin lock methods at 3T to characterize primary brain glioma. 22 patients (26-72 years) with suspected primary glioma. T1ρcw was performed using pulse peak amplitude of 500Hz and pulse train durations of 40 and 80 ms while the corresponding values for T1ρadiab, T2ρadiab, TRAFF2 were 500/500/500Hz and 48 and 96, 64 and 112, 45 and 90 ms, respectively. The parametric maps were calculated using a monoexponential model. Molecular profiles were evaluated from tissue specimens obtained during the resection. The lesion regions-of-interest were segmented from high intensity FLAIR using automatic segmentation with manual refinement. Statistical descriptors from the voxel intensity values inside each lesion and radiomic features (Pyrad MRC package) were calculated. From extracted radiomics, mRMRe R package version 2.1.0 was used to select 3 features in each modality for statistical comparisons. Of the 22 patients, 10 were found to have IDH-mutant gliomas and of those 5 patients had 1p/19q codeletion group comparisons. Following correction for effects of age and gender, at least one statistical descriptor was able to differentiate between IDH and 1p/19q codeletion status for all the parametric maps. In the radiomic analysis, corner-edge detector features with Harris-Stephens filtered signal showed significant group differences in IDH and 1p/19q codeletion groups. Spin lock imaging at 3T of human glioma was feasible and various qualitative parameters derived from the parametric maps were found to have potential to differentiate IDH and 1p19q codeletion status. Future larger prospective clinical trials are warranted to evaluate these methods further.

    Abstract Background: The long-term outcomes of a proximal humeral fracture during adolescence are not well known. We investigated the course of primary treatment for these injuries and the long-term outcomes in adulthood, comparing the outcomes with those from age-matched controls. We also compared outcomes after operative and nonoperative treatment via propensity score matching.
    Methods: We included children who sustained a proximal humeral fracture between the ages of 10.0 and 16.0 years and underwent treatment between 1995 and 2005. Data from primary treatment episodes were extracted from patient files. The patients were invited to a follow-up visit with outcome assessment and radiographs or to a telephone interview if unable to attend. The primary outcome was the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire. The secondary outcomes were the Simple Shoulder Test (SST), pain at rest and with strenuous use, shoulder range of motion, strength measurements, health-related quality of life (15D), and harms. Participant results were compared with the normal values of an age-matched population. The effect of operative treatment was assessed using propensity score matching and the average treatment effect was calculated.
    Results: This study included 209 patients (210 fractures). The mean follow-up (and standard deviation) was 13.1 ± 3.2 years. Outcome data were obtained from 152 participants (153 fractures); 78 participants attended the follow-up visit. The primary treatment episodes were uneventful. The mean scores were 2.5 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.8 to 3.3 [range, 0 to 13]) for the DASH and 11.7 (95% CI, 11.5 to 11.8 [range, 8 to 12]) for the SST. Other outcomes were similarly good. There were no differences in function compared with the normal population values. Propensity matching showed no treatment effect for operative treatment compared with nonoperative treatment.
    Conclusions: Proximal humeral fractures of adolescents heal well and rarely result in impairments whether treated operatively or nonoperatively.

    Abstract Background: Although prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common cancer in men in Western countries, there is significant variability in geographical incidence. This might result from genetic factors, discrepancies in screening policies, or differences in lifestyle. Gut microbiota has recently been associated with cancer progression, but its role in PCa is unclear.
    Objective: Characterization of the gut microbiota and its functions associated with PCa.
    Design setting and participants: In a prospective multicenter clinical trial (NCT02241122), the gut microbiota profiles of 181 men with a clinical suspicion of PCa were assessed utilizing 16S rRNA sequencing.
    Outcome measurements and statistical analysis: Sequences were assigned to operational taxonomic units, differential abundance analysis, and α- and β-diversities, and predictive functional analyses were performed. Plasma steroid hormone levels corresponding to the predicted microbiota steroid hormone biosynthesis profiles were investigated.
    Results and limitations: Of 364 patients, 181 were analyzed, 60% of whom were diagnosed with PCa. Microbiota composition and diversity were significantly different in PCa, partially affected by
    Conclusions: Gut microbiota of the PCa patients differed significantly compared with benign individuals. Microbial 5-α-reductase, copper absorption, and retinol metabolism are potential mechanisms of action. These findings support the observed association of lifestyle, geography, and PCa incidence.
    Patient summary: In this report, we found that several microbes and potential functions of the gut microbiota are altered in prostate cancer compared with benign cases. These findings suggest that gut microbiota could be the link between environmental factors and prostate cancer.

    Abstract Background: Automatic detection and segmentation of intraprostatic lesions (ILs) on preoperative multiparametric-magnetic resonance images (mp-MRI) can improve clinical workflow efficiency and enhance the diagnostic accuracy of prostate cancer and is an essential step in dominant intraprostatic lesion boost.
    Purpose: The goal is to improve the detection and segmentation accuracy of 3D ILs in MRI by a proposed a deep learning (DL)-based algorithm with histopathological ground truth.
    Methods: This retrospective study included 262 patients with in vivo prostate biparametric MRI (bp-MRI) scans and were divided into three cohorts based on their data analysis and annotation. Histopathological ground truth was established by using histopathology images as delineation reference standard on cohort 1, which consisted of 64 patients and was randomly split into 20 training, 12 validation, and 32 testing patients. Cohort 2 consisted of 158 patients with bp-MRI based lesion delineation, and was randomly split into 104 training, 15 validation, and 39 testing patients. Cohort 3 consisted of 40 unannotated patients, used in semi-supervised learning. We proposed a non-local Mask R-CNN and boosted its performance by applying different training techniques. The performance of non-local Mask R-CNN was compared with baseline Mask R-CNN, 3D U-Net and an experienced radiologist's delineation and was evaluated by detection rate, dice similarity coefficient (DSC), sensitivity, and Hausdorff Distance (HD).
    Results: The independent testing set consists of 32 patients with histopathological ground truth. With the training technique maximizing detection rate, the non-local Mask R-CNN achieved 80.5% and 94.7% detection rate; 0.548 and 0.604 DSC; 5.72 and 6.36 95 HD (mm); 0.613 and 0.580 sensitivity for ILs of all Gleason Grade groups (GGGs) and clinically significant ILs (GGG > 2), which outperformed baseline Mask R-CNN and 3D U-Net. For clinically significant ILs, the model segmentation accuracy was significantly higher than that of the experienced radiologist involved in the study, who achieved 0.512 DSC (p = 0.04), 8.21 (p = 0.041) 95 HD (mm), and 0.398 (p = 0.001) sensitivity.
    Conclusion: The proposed DL model achieved state-of-art performance and has the potential to help improve radiotherapy treatment planning and noninvasive prostate cancer diagnosis.

    Abstract Eye movements and other rich data obtained in virtual reality (VR) environments resembling situations where symptoms are manifested could help in the objective detection of various symptoms in clinical conditions. In the present study, 37 children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and 36 typically developing controls (9-13 y.o) played a lifelike prospective memory game using head-mounted display with inbuilt 90 Hz eye tracker. Eye movement patterns had prominent group differences, but they were dispersed across the full performance time rather than associated with specific events or stimulus features. A support vector machine classifier trained on eye movement data showed excellent discrimination ability with 0.92 area under curve, which was significantly higher than for task performance measures or for eye movements obtained in a visual search task. We demonstrated that a naturalistic VR task combined with eye tracking allows accurate prediction of attention deficits, paving the way for precision diagnostics.

    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate fitting quality and repeatability of four mathematical models for diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) during tumor progression in mouse xenograft model of prostate cancer.
    Methods: Human prostate cancer cells (PC-3) were implanted subcutaneously in right hind limbs of 11 immunodeficient mice. Tumor growth was followed by weekly DWI examinations using a 7T MR scanner. Additional DWI examination was performed after repositioning following the fourth DWI examination to evaluate short term repeatability. DWI was performed using 15 and 12 b-values in the ranges of 0-500 and 0-2000 s/mm
    Results: Significant changes were observed in DWI data during the tumor growth, indicated by ADC
    Conclusion: Stretched exponential and kurtosis models showed better fit to DWI data than the mono-exponential model and presented with good repeatability.

    Abstract Introduction: European Association of Urology and UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines recommend that all men with suspicions of prostate cancer should undergo prebiopsy contrast enhanced, that is, multiparametric prostate MRI. Subsequent prostate biopsies should also be performed if MRI is positive, that is, Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) scores 3-5. However, several retrospective post hoc analyses have shown that this approach still leads to many unnecessary biopsy procedures. For example, 88%-96% of men with PI-RADS, three findings are still diagnosed with clinically non-significant prostate cancer or no cancer at all.
    Methods and analysis: This is a prospective, randomised, controlled, multicentre trial, being conducted in Finland, to demonstrate non-inferiority in clinically significant cancer detection rates among men undergoing prostate biopsies post-MRI and men undergoing prostate biopsies post-MRI only after a shared decision based on individualised risk estimation. Men without previous diagnosis of prostate cancer and with abnormal digital rectal examination findings and/or prostate-specific antigen between 2.5 ug/L and 20.0 ug/L are included. We aim to recruit 830 men who are randomised at a 1:1 ratio into control (all undergo biopsies after MRI) and intervention arms (the decision to perform biopsies is based on risk estimation and shared decision-making). The primary outcome of the study is the proportion of men with clinically significant prostate cancer (Gleason 4+3 prostate cancer or higher). We will also compare the overall biopsy rate, benign biopsy rate and the detection of non-significant prostate cancer between the two study groups.
    Ethics and dissemination: The study (protocol V.2.0, 4 January 2021) was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Hospital District of Southwest Finland (IORG number: 0001744, IBR number: 00002216; trial number: 99/1801/2019). Participants are required to provide written informed consent. Full reports of this study will be submitted to peer-reviewed journals, mainly urology and radiology.

    Abstract Background: Multiparametric prostate magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) can be considered the gold standard in prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Biparametric prostate MRI (bpMRI) is faster and could be a feasible alternative to mpMRI.
    Objective: To determine the negative predictive value (NPV) of Improved Prostate Cancer Diagnosis (IMPROD) bpMRI as a whole and in clinical subgroups in primary diagnostics of clinically significant prostate cancer (CSPCa).
    Design, setting, and participants: This is a pooled data analysis of four prospective, registered clinical trials investigating prebiopsy IMPROD bpMRI. Men with a clinical suspicion of prostate cancer (PCa) were included.
    Intervention: Prebiopsy IMPROD bpMRI was performed, and an IMPROD bpMRI Likert scoring system was used. If suspicious lesions (IMPROD bpMRI Likert score 3-5) were visible, targeted biopsies in addition to systematic biopsies were taken.
    Outcome measurements and statistical analysis: Performance measures of IMPROD bpMRI in CSPCa diagnostics were evaluated. NPV was also evaluated in clinical subgroups. Gleason grade ≥3 + 4 in any biopsy core taken was defined as CSPCa.
    Results and limitations: A total of 639 men were included in the analysis. The mean age was 64 yr, mean prostate-specific antigen level was 8.9 ng/ml, and CSPCa prevalence was 48%. NPVs of IMPROD bpMRI Likert scores 3-5 and 4-5 for CSPCa were 0.932 and 0.909, respectively, and the corresponding positive predictive values were 0.589 and 0.720. Only nine of 132 (7%) men with IMPROD bpMRI Likert score 1-2 had CSPCa and none with Gleason score >7. Thus, 132 of 639 (21%) study patients could have avoided biopsies without missing a single Gleason >7 cancer in the study biopsies. In the subgroup analysis, no clear outlier was present. The limitation is uncertainty of the true CSPCa prevalence.
    Conclusions: IMPROD bpMRI demonstrated a high NPV to rule out CSPCa. IMPROD bpMRI Likert score 1-2 excludes Gleason >7 PCa in the study biopsies.
    Patient summary: We investigated the feasibility of prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with the Improved Prostate Cancer Diagnosis (IMPROD) biparametric MRI (bpMRI) protocol in excluding significant prostate cancer. In this study, highly aggressive prostate cancer was excluded using the publicly available IMPROD bpMRI protocol (http://petiv.utu.fi/multiimprod/).

    Abstract Prostate Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is increasingly being used in men with a clinical suspicion of prostate cancer (PCa). Performing prostate MRI without the use of an intravenous contrast (IV) agent in men with a clinical suspicion of PCa can lead to reduced MRI scan time. Enabling a large array of different medical providers (from mid-level to specialized radiologists) to evaluate and potentially report prostate MRI in men with a clinical suspicion of PCa with a high accuracy could be one way to enable wide adoption of prostate MRI in men with a clinical suspicion of PCa. The aim of this pictorial review is to provide an insight into acquisition, quality control and reporting of prostate MRI performed without IV contrast agent in men with a clinical suspicion of PCa, aimed specifically at radiologists starting reporting prostate MRI, urologists, urology/radiology residents and mid-level medical providers without experience in reporting prostate MRI. Free public access (http://petiv.utu.fi/improd/and http://petiv.utu.fi/multiimprod/) to complete datasets of 161 and 338 men is provided.
