Cost-Effectiveness of Follow-up Imaging for Incidental Adrenal Nodules to Rule Out Adrenocortical Carcinoma
Several follow-up recommendations have been developed to assess for risk of malignancy of incidental adrenal nodules, but none have been validated in prospective trials. The purpose of this study is to develop a simulation model that evaluates the cost-effectiveness of follow-up imaging to detect adrenocortical carcinoma in adrenal nodules in patients with no known malignancy.

Improving the diagnostic accuracy of small renal masses: Integration of radiomics and clear cell likelihood scores in multiparametric MRI
Accurate diagnosis of small renal masses is crucial for treatment planning. Combining radiomics analysis with the Clear Cell Likelihood Score (ccLS) in multiparametric MRI can effectively assess malignancy risk. This study aimed to evaluate the contribution of MRI-based radiomics analysis to the diagnostic performance of the ccLS in differentiating clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC).

A practical approach to quality improvement in medium sized radiology departments
In the evolving field of medical imaging, the fast pace of technological advancements necessitates frequent updates to imaging protocols. With, as an example, PubMed adding close to one million new papers annually, the medical research field as a whole has experienced significant yearly growth of 8–9 % over the last decades [1]. Despite this influx of knowledge, translating research findings into clinical radiological practice remains a challenge [2,3]. One study observed that after 17 years onl…
