Differences in advanced radiologic features of glioma subtypes under the 2021 WHO classification of tumors of the central Nervous system
The 2021 WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System split gliomas within four families [1]. The gliomas are subclassified within the categories of Adult-type diffuse glioma, pediatric type diffuse low-grade glioma, pediatric type diffuse high-grade glioma, and circumscribed astrocytic glioma [2,3]. In this review, we synthesize findings on the different glioma subtypes within each category.

The potential role of AI in systematic follow-up recommendation tracking and outcome assessment
Actionable findings requiring follow-up with additional imaging or other diagnostic procedures are frequently reported for a wide variety of radiology exams. Completion of recommended follow-up can lead to new diagnoses including cancer. However, recommended follow-up completion is inconsistent, particularly when follow-up is for findings unrelated to the initial reason for the exam. Follow-up recommendation tracking systems, using a combination of information technology tools and human navigato…

Evaluating the impact of sigmoid sinus wall reconstruction on pulsatile tinnitus treatment Outcomes: A longitudinal follow-up study
Pulsatile tinnitus (PT) is characterized by the perception of a rhythmic sound that is in sync with the patient’s heartbeat, occurring in the absence of an external auditory stimulus. Representing approximately 4 % of tinnitus cases, PT has the potential to significantly impact both physical and mental well-being [1–3]. CT angiography and venography (CTA/V) is a significant imaging technique employed in the evaluation of the etiology of PT[4,5]. The etiology of PT is categorized into vascular an…

Deep-learning analysis of computed tomography coronary angiography data enables more accurate computation of the shear stress distribution than conventional analysis by experts: A head-to-head comparison with near-infrared spectroscopy-intravascular ultrasound-based modelling
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) is the primary non-invasive test for detecting coronary artery disease (CAD) and constitutes an attractive alternative to intravascular imaging for the study of pathophysiological mechanisms that are involved in atherosclerotic evolution. Deep learning (DL) methodologies offers potential to overcome limitations in CTA analysis enabling reproducibly and fast and accurate segmentation of large datasets however their value in assessing coronary physiol…
