All subjects had a final pathological analysis of the fluid collections.\nTwo radiologists measured the attenuation values for each collection. The averaged values\nwere used for comparing benign and malignancy-related ascites (MRA), bland and hemorrhagic\nascites and infected and noninfected fluid collections by consuming the Mann\u2013Whitney U test. Also,\nthe receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed for the statistically significant results\n(P<0.05), and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nResults:<\/jats:title>\nAttenuation values could differentiate between benign and MRA (P=0.04; AUC=0.656;\nsensitivity, 65.52%; specificity, 71.43%) but failed to distinguish between bland ascites and ascites\nwith hemorrhagic component (P=0.85), and between infected and noninfected fluid collections\n(P=0.47).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nConclusion:<\/jats:title>\nAlthough the results are statistically significant, the substrate of differentiation between\nbenign and MRA ascites cannot be clearly stated. As being the first study to investigate this\nissue, it opens the way for other researches in the field to determine the dynamics of imaging quantitative\nmeasurements according to the fluid\u2019s pathological features.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2174\/1573405616666200722152105","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,28]],"date-time":"2020-07-28T06:06:10Z","timestamp":1595916370000},"page":"390-395","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.2174\/bsp_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Computed Tomography in the Diagnosis of Ascites: The Role of Fluid Attenuation Values"],"prefix":"10.2174","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Paul-Andrei","family":"\u015etefan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiology and Imaging Department, County Emergency Hospital, Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrei","family":"Lebovici","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiology and Imaging Department, County Emergency Hospital, Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Csaba","family":"Csutak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiology and Imaging Department, County Emergency Hospital, Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carmen Mihaela","family":"Mihu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiology and Imaging Department, County Emergency Hospital, Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"965","container-title":["Current Medical Imaging Formerly Current Medical Imaging Reviews"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/eurekaselect.com\/article\/download\/184043","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.eurekaselect.com\/184043\/article","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/eurekaselect.com\/article\/download\/184043","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,29]],"date-time":"2021-04-29T12:42:35Z","timestamp":1619700155000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.eurekaselect.com\/184043\/article"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,22]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,22]]}},"alternative-id":["LiveAll1"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2174\/1573405616666200722152105","relation":{},"ISSN":["1573-4056"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1573-4056","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,22]]},"assertion":[{"value":"Peer Reviewed","order":0,"name":"review_status","label":"Review Status","group":{"name":"peer_review_details","label":"Peer Review Details"}},{"value":"Single blind","order":1,"name":"review_process","label":"Review Process","group":{"name":"peer_review_details","label":"Peer Review Details"}},{"value":"Checked with iThenticate","order":0,"name":"screening_status","label":"Screening Status","group":{"name":"plagiarism_screening","label":"Plagiarism Screening"}},{"value":"2020-02-07","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2020-05-12","order":1,"name":"revised","label":"Revised","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2020-05-25","order":2,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2021-04-22","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
