MRI imaging was determined using a 1.5‐T MRI unit (Vantage Titan; Canon Medical Systems, Otawara, Japan). Olfactory bulb volume was measured from 2‐mm slices of the olfactory bulb.15 Frontal lobe remaining rate was measured as frontal brain area/intracranial frontal space on an MRI image in which the lateral ventricle was visualized with the maximum size.16 Remaining rates of bilateral medial temporal areas including the entorhinal cortex (MTA‐ERC) and global brain gray matter were determined using the voxel‐based specific regional analysis system for Alzheimer's disease.17 White matter lesions including periventricular hyperintensity and deep white matter hyperintensity were measured using ImageJ (National Institute of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA) in the same MRI image as used for the frontal lobe remaining rate.

All examinations were performed using 1.5-T MRI scanners (Philips Achieva or Canon Vantage TITAN). The scan protocol was as follows: (Phillips/Canon): steady-state free precession cine sequence, 20/24 phase/beat, slice thickness: 8 mm, repetition time: 2.7/4.2 ms, echo time: 1.4/2.1 ms, flip angle: 60°/80°, field of view: 3 8 × 38/38 × 34 cm, and matrix: 208 × 193/192 × 240. The short axis slice was obtained with a 0 mm slice gap while the four-chamber view was generally obtained as a single slice, and other views (T2-weighted black blood, magnetic resonance coronary angiography, adenosine triphosphate-induced stress-perfusion imaging, late gadolinium enhancement) were performed in accordance with current guidelines2 (link) and each patient’s status. Cine four-chamber view slices were obtained by referencing the left ventricular (LV) short axis and two-chamber views. After the determination of the axis between the center of the mitral valve and the apex with the two-chamber view, a four-chamber view slice that passed across the acute margin of the RV free wall was identified. Short-axis cine images were used for the RV volumetric assessment.

MRI scans, including the DWI and 3D time-of-flight flow-compensated MRA sequences, were performed with a 1.5 T Vantage Titan whole body scanner (Canon Medical Systems) with a 12-channel head coil. DWI was performed with a single-shot spin-echo echo-planar imaging sequence. Twenty images were acquired at b = 0 seconds/mm3 followed by 20 at b = 1000 seconds/mm3. The imaging parameters were as follows: repetition time (TR)/echo time (TE) 6000/100 milliseconds, a field of view of 22 cm, a matrix of 128 × 128 zero filled to a 256 × 256, 5-mm section thickness, and a 1-mm gap. The MRAs of the patients’ heads were performed using a 3D time-of-flight technique with an 18° flip angle, TR/TE 28/3.4 milliseconds, a 1-mm section thickness covering 7.2 cm, and a 224 × 160 matrix encoding a 21 cm field of view.

CT (Aquilion64, Canon Medical Systems) images were acquired with 1‐mm slice thickness in the supine position using the VacLok system (CIVCO Medical Solutions). Before CT simulation, the patients were required to hold the urine for 1 h or more to have a comfortably full bladder (bladder volume, 100–150 ml). Before urinary collection, they were also asked to empty the rectum. On the day of CT simulation, a T2‐weighted MRI (Vantage Titan, Canon Medical Systems) was acquired and fused with the CT image using Velocity, version 3.2.1 (Varian Medical Systems). In low‐risk disease, the prostate gland alone was delineated as the clinical target volume (CTV). In the intermediate‐ and high‐risk cases, proximal 1 or 2 cm of the seminal vesicles was included in the CTV, depending on the risk classification. To delineate the planning target volume (PTV), according to our institution protocol, a 4‐mm margin in the left/right direction and 3‐mm margins in all the other directions were added. The same PTV margin was used regardless of modality. The rectum, bladder, penile bulb, urethra, testicles, and femoral heads were contoured as organs at risk. The rectum was delineated within 1 cm superior and inferior to the existing PTV plane. The entire structure set was contoured with Velocity and exported to each treatment planning system.

The MRIs were performed with two different MRI devices. The great majority of them (54 cases) were performed in FCB´s medical center using a 3.0T MRI system (Vantage Titan, Canon Medical Systems).
The rest of the cases (22 players) were evaluated in an external medical center by a 3.0T system (Magnetom VERIO, Siemens Medical Solutions). In all cases the MRI images were evaluated by the same researchers (see Section 2.4). The patients were positioned in supine decubitus, the examination was performed focused on the injured limb and the symptomatic area marked on the patient with a cutaneous vitamin marker. A multi-purpose coil was used, with speeder technology. This allowed the acquisition of five sequences according to the standardised protocol for evaluating muscle injuries in the lower extremities. Axial, Sagittal and Coronal T2 Fat Sat ,TR 5200, 5000 and 3700 ms, TE 44-60 ms, Eco train 7.5, SL 2.5-3.5 mm, in-plane resolution 0.9-1.4×0.88-0.97 mm2, FOV 256x256, 192x272, 288x320 mm, and Axial and Coronal TSE T1 ,TR 900-980 ms, TE 11 ms, Eco train 7.5, SL 2.5-3.5 mm, in-plane resolution 0.71-0.9 x 0.71-0.9 mm2, FOV 352x352, 288x320 mm were acquired and evaluated.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
