The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in mammography interpretation has been widely discussed in recent years. Traditional computer-aided detection (CAD) systems, introduced in the 1990 s, were initially expected to reduce diagnostic errors, but their high false-positive rates and limited ability to improve cancer detection accuracy led to mixed results [1–3]. However, the advent of deep learning-based AI systems has changed this narrative. Recent studies have shown that AI, when applied to ma…

Comparison of dual-energy iodine and standard subtraction methods for myocardial extracellular volume quantification using cardiac computed tomography
Computed tomography (CT)-derived extracellular volume fraction (ECV) quantifies myocardial fibrosis noninvasively, comparable to cardiovascular magnetic resonance. The conventional subtraction method (ECV-conv) requires dedicated pre- and post-contrast acquisitions, while the dual-energy spectral method (ECV-spec) uses only the post-contrast phase. We aimed to compare these methods in patients undergoing CT planning for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

Letter to the editor re: Racial bias in CCT article
We read with interest the article by Chow, Benjamin J.W. et al. “Racial referral bias in cardiac computed tomography: Differences, disparities or discrimination?”.1 In this study, the majority of the patients (82.5 %) referred for CCT were White, with a higher referral index for Whites compared to other ethnicities (1.2 vs. 0.6, p < 0.001).

Assessment of lymph node metastases in patients with ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma: Incremental diagnostic value of dual-energy CT combined with morphologic parameters
Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the deadliest gynecological malignancies and ranks fifth in cancer-related deaths among women [1]. Epithelial ovarian cancer is the most important histological subtype, accounting for approximately 90 % of ovarian cancer, with High-Grade Serous Carcinoma (HGSC) being the most common type [2]. Due to the occult symptomatic progression of the disease, most patients are diagnosed at advanced stages with FIGO stage III–IV. For these advanced stage patients, chemotherapy…
