Quantification of tumor heterogeneity based on fractal dimension for predicting the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) exhibits high heterogeneity, leading to variable responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) among patients. Noninvasive quantification of intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) may be valuable in predicting treatment response. This study aims to investigate whether fractal dimension (FD) based on pre-treatment contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), combined with clinicopathological data, can predict NAC response in TNBC patients.

Metal artifact reduction from surgical clips for intracranial aneurysms in photon-counting detector CT angiography
Surgical clipping or endovascular coiling procedures are performed to treat ruptured and unruptured cerebral aneurysms based on the location shape, and size of the aneurysm [1,2]. After these treatments, long-term follow-up imaging every 6–12 months is recommended to monitor potential recurrence. CT angiography (CTA) or MR angiography (MRA) is typically used in such a follow-up [3,4]. However, it is difficult to evaluate blood vessels (including the aneurysm neck) with MRA after clipping, becaus…

Reference standard methodology in the clinical evaluation of AI chest X-ray algorithms for lung cancer detection: A systematic review
Lung cancer is associated with a poor prognosis and is the most common cause of cancer death worldwide [1,2]. Recognising and treating lung cancer at an earlier stage is associated with improved survival [3]. In the UK, lung cancer is frequently picked up on chest x-rays (CXR) either as part of an ‘urgent suspicion of cancer’ pathway or as an incidental finding. Whilst the former has national time targets for x-ray turnaround time, the latter is more susceptible to delays due to the high volume …
