Deep-learning derived detailed measures of body fat distribution and cardiovascular outcomes in non-dialysis dependent chronic kidney disease: The multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis
An obesity paradox, i.e., an association between high BMI and reduced all-cause mortality, has been reported in patients with non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD). We have recently developed and validated a fully automated deep-learning algorithm that can automatically segment and quantify detailed muscle and fat distributions from any conventional chest CT. Here, we generated these robust biomarkers in a study cohort with non-dialysis-dependent CKD (eGFR 15–90 mL/min/1.73 m2, Sta…

Female reproductive tract obstruction and its imaging mimics – A pictorial review
Identification of female reproductive tract obstruction is important as it is associated with a range of gynecological and obstetrical issues. Knowledge of relevant anatomy and the imaging characteristics of associated abnormalities can facilitate accurate diagnosis and guide appropriate clinical management [1–3].

Radiomics analysis of contrast-free synthetic MRI and apparent diffusion coefficient for early predicting neoadjuvant chemotherapy response in breast cancer
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death among women globally [1]. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) had become a standard treatment for locally advanced breast cancer during the past decades [2]. Achieving pathologic complete response (pCR) following NAC is a predictor of an improved disease free and overall survival [3,4]. Thus, early and accurate pCR prediction can prevent needless toxicity in individuals who do not respond to treatment and…

Cavernous Sinus Dural Arteriovenous Fistula: Treatment via the Transfemoral Transfacial Route [CLINICAL]
Cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) are most frequently treated by a transvenous approach via the inferior petrosal sinus (IPS). However, in certain patients, the IPS is not amenable to navigation. In this technical video, we present the case of a patient with a cavernous sinus dAVF embolized by the transfemoral transfacial venous route on a failed attempt to catheterize the IPS. Preprocedural head and neck imaging was performed, documenting the facial vein draining to the inter…
