The effect of clinical risk factors on the Atherosclerotic plaque characteristics of intra- and extracranial arteries: A retrospective study
While progress has been made in understanding drug-mediated stroke prevention, the influence of statins and blood lipid levels on intra- and extracranial plaque characteristics during acute stroke requires further study. Using high-resolution vessel wall imaging (HR-VWI), we aim to examine how statin use and lipid levels affect plaque features.

Duration of diabetes, glycemic control and intracranial atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability
Intracranial vulnerable plaque, characterized by intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH), surface irregularity, positive remodeling, and plaque enhancement, is associated with cerebrovascular events. History of diabetes mellitus (DM) was reported to be a potential predictor of plaque vulnerability, but the predictive value of DM-related variables for it is still uncertain. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of diabetes duration and glycemic control with symptomatic plaque vulnerab…

Predictive performance of the perivascular adipose tissue for endovascular recanalization of chronic carotid artery occlusion
Chronic internal carotid artery occlusion (CICAO) is an important cause of ischemic stroke, despite patients receiving aggressive medical therapy [1,2]. Several studies have demonstrated that endovascular recanalization is a feasible treatment option for carefully selected patients with symptomatic chronic internal carotid artery occlusion (CICAO), with successful recanalization reducing the risk of subsequent ischemic events by approximately 80 % compared to medical therapy alone or unsuccessfu…

Diffusion tensor imaging has prognostic value on return to play in hamstring injuries: A prospective cohort study
Hamstring muscle injuries are highly prevalent in sports and result in varying rehabilitation times [1,2]. The assessment of muscle injuries is based on clinical examination and qualitative conventional magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) scoring systems, such as the Modified Peetrons grading and British Athletics Muscle Injury Classification [3–6]. Determining the return to play (RTP) prognosis following hamstring injury remains difficult. There is conflicting evidence for the use of conventional …

Protecting Radiology Data and Devices Against Cybersecurity Threats: A Joint White Paper of the ACR and Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine1
Modern radiology relies entirely on digital imaging systems. Health care records draw cybercriminals’ attention. On-site and cloud-based informatics systems, including artificial intelligence, can boost efficiency but also create weak points. Medical imaging systems must safeguard patient identities, control access, secure devices, and coordinate with patients, payers, and billing partners. Endorsed by the ACR and the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine, this white paper outlines steps t…

A Closer Look at the Impact of Expanded Mammography Coverage in Missouri: An Interview with Amy Patel, MD
In a recent interview, Amy Patel, M.D., discussed new research findings that revealed a 45 percent higher likelihood of mammography screening among women with Medicaid in Missouri due to expanded mammography coverage in the state.
