Angiomyolipoma diagnosed by using either region of interest density measurement or pixel mapping
Published in Medical Imaging Week, July 29th, 2006
Scientists in England conducted a study to "compare the diagnostic accuracy of ROI density measurement and pixel mapping [computed tomography (CT) density of individual pixels] for the diagnosis of AML using CT. A study group of histologically proven AMLs was compared with a control group of histologically proven renal cell cancers, normal renal parenchyma, and simple renal cysts. The mean tissue density (ROI circle) and a pixel density map were recorded."
"The diagnostic accuracy of various thresholds of ROI and pixel mapping...
