Optimal post-contrast timing for photon-counting CT-based myocardial extracellular volume quantification in a swine model: Cardiac magnetic resonance as the reference
Extracellular volume (ECV) fraction refers to the proportion of extracellular matrix in the whole myocardium. Elevated ECV values are observed in conditions such as myocardial infarction, cardiac amyloidosis, myocarditis, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. ECV mapping can assist in differentiating between these and other diseases, as well as providing prognostic information[1–5]. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has been the non-invasive gold standard for ECV assessment due to its high acc…

Deep learning-based detection of ascending aortic dilatation on chest radiographs: A diagnostic study
Ascending aortic dilatation (AAD) is a potentially life-threatening condition that often remains undetected until serious complications arise [1,2]. As the diameter of the ascending aorta increases the risk of rupture increases [3], but most ascending aortic aneurysms are asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis [2] until devastating consequences [4] occur

Quantitative study of vestibular endolymphatic hydrops in Meniere’s disease based on Three-Dimensional real Inversion Recovery (3D-real IR) sequence
To establish objective criteria for grading vestibular endolymphatic hydrops (EH) in Meniere’s disease (MD) using 3D-real IR MRI, and investigate its clinical correlations.

Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) utilization in acute Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) hospitalizations in the United States from 2017 to 2022
Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) is an increasingly recognized cause of acute coronary syndrome.1 Invasive coronary angiography (ICA) is the gold standard for diagnosing SCAD, while coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) offers a noninvasive 3-dimensional assessment. Although CCTA is not yet a first-line modality for SCAD due to lower spatial and temporal resolution than ICA, it is often performed for diagnostic confirmation or to assess vessel healing during hospitalizatio…

Implementation of generic and individual justification: Findings from a survey under the IAEA technical cooperation programme in Europe and Central Asia
Medical uses of ionizing radiation are among the longest established applications of ionizing radiation and represent by far the largest and increasing contribution to the exposure of the human population from man-made radiation sources [1]. They bring considerable health benefits and are thus considered justified in general (ICRP first level [2]). As medical exposure is increasing, the principles of justification and optimization should be reinforced. Proper justification not only ensures that …

Development of a multi-feature predictive model for risk stratification in stage IB-IIA non-small cell lung cancer: A multicenter analysis
Lung cancer remains the most prevalent malignancy and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide [1], with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) being the predominant histological subtype. Surgical resection is the standard of care for patients with stage IB-IIA (T2N0M0) NSCLC. However, the role of adjuvant chemotherapy remains controversial as the balance between its survival benefits and associated side effects is still under evaluation.
