Seventy-seven patients with unilateral internal carotid artery stenosis underwent preoperative 3DT2*-weighted imaging using a multiple dipole-inversion algorithm with a 7T MR scanner. Quantitative susceptibility mapping images wereobtained, and oxygen extraction fraction maps were generated. Quantitative brain perfusion single-photon emission CT was alsoperformed before and immediately after carotid endarterectomy. Ten patients (13%) showed post–carotid endarterectomy hyperperfusion. Multivariate analysis showed that a high quantitative susceptibility mapping–oxygen extraction fraction ratio was significantly associated with the development of post–carotid endarterectomy hyperperfusion.

This was a retrospective study including 62 patients diagnosed with primary head and neck squamous cellcarcinoma who underwent contrast-enhanced CT examinations for staging, followed by chemoradiotherapy. CT texture features of thewhole primary tumor were measured using an in-house developed Matlab-based texture analysis program. Histogram, gray-level co-occurrence matrix, gray-level run-length, gray-level gradient matrix, and Laws features were used for texture feature extraction. Three histogram features (geometric mean, harmonic, and fourth moment) and 4 gray-level run-length features (short-run emphasis, gray-level nonuniformity, run-length nonuniformity, and short-run low gray-level emphasis) were significant predictors of outcome.
