Chest pain is a common complaint in children and adolescents. The causes of chest pain are varied and include musculoskeletal, pulmonary or pleural, gastrointestinal, psychogenic, and cardiac etiologies. The etiology of pediatric chest pain is often benign but typically generates evaluation in the emergency room, urgent care, or outpatient setting. Diagnostic imaging is often used in the evaluation of pediatric chest pain. This document will discuss various clinical scenarios for children presen…

Predicting axillary lymph node metastasis in clinical T1/2 stage breast cancer using iodine map-derived multi-region radiomics and multi-modality imaging characteristics
Breast cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed malignancy and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women, according to the GLOBOCAN 2022 [1]. Axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM) represents a critical prognostic factor and plays a pivotal role in guiding surgical and therapeutic decision-making [2]. Although axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) has traditionally served both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, its associated morbidities—including lymphedema and nerve injury…

Gradient magnitude-based texture feature of the entorhinal cortex as a biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common type of dementia, is characterized by a gradual decline in cognitive function due to the progressive accumulation of physiological alterations and damage to neurons [1]. As the disease advances, it affects not only memory but also language, judgment, and the ability to perform everyday activities, ultimately leading to a stage where even simple daily tasks become unmanageable [2]. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) represents a transitional stage preceding …
