Cost-effectiveness of [18F]FDG PET/CT in follow-up after thermal ablation in patients with colorectal liver metastases in the Dutch healthcare setting
Colorectal cancer (CRC) introduces a substantial health burden on patients and society due to its relatively high incidence and mortality [1]. In 2020, CRC was the third most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide, accounting for about 10 % of all new cancer cases [2]. Moreover, CRC was the second leading cause of cancer mortality and accounted for 9.4 % of all cancer-related deaths [2]. Approximately 15–25 % of all patients with CRC history have metastatic disease (mCRC). The liver is the most com…

Performance of MRI-based surveillance for high-risk individuals for pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a lethal tumour with a 5-year survival rate of 11 % [1]. Although most PCs are sporadic, about 10 % of patients with PC are encountered among subjects with a strong family history or carrying predisposing germline mutations, defining these patients as high-risk individuals (HRIs). The risk of developing PC in these subjects varies depending on the family history and/or the specific underlying genetic mutation, ranging from a relative risk of about 2.5 to 132-fold higher…

Comparison of image quality of 40 keV virtual monoenergetic images of vertebral arteries using DLIR and ASIR-V algorithms under a dual-low scanning protocol
This study aims to compare the image quality of 40 keV Virtual Monoenergetic Images (VMI) of the vertebral artery (VA) reconstructed using two algorithms, Deep Learning Image Reconstruction (DLIR) and Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction (ASIR-V), under a dual-low scanning protocol, which simultaneously reduces both the radiation dose and the contrast agent dose during the CT scanning process.

Predictors of brain atrophy in focal epilepsy
Epilepsy is a disabling disease characterized by a wide variety of underlying pathologies, resulting in the common, crucial denominator of this illness, seizures. Even though numerous anti-seizure medications are available, one-third of patients still experience pharmaco-resistant epilepsy [1]. For these patients, surgery remains the final recourse. Yet, despite the promising prospects of seizure freedom in up to 64 % of the cases [2], resective surgery often remains an underutilized tool with s…

Cardiac MRI Study Affirms Link Between Air Pollution Exposure and Increased Diffuse Myocardial Fibrosis
For people with dilated cardiomyopathy and those with initially normal cardiac MRI, each 1 ug/m3 increase in one-year exposure to ambient fine particulate matter with 2.5-um > aerodynamic diameter was associated with significantly more diffuse myocardial fibrosis, according to a recent study.
