The increasing utilization of computed tomography (CT) in medical diagnosis, follow-up, and interventions, while invaluable, has raised concerns about cumulative radiation exposure and associated cancer risks [1,2]. In 2021, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), in cooperation with the World Health Organization (WHO) and many professional societies, issued a call for action to strengthen the radiation protection of patients undergoing recurrent radiological imaging procedures [3]. The p…

Fusion 3D T1/T2 MRI for diagnosing pelvic deep infiltrating endometriosis: a non-inferiority study
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential non-invasive technique for diagnosing deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). Published studies have explored the value of high-resolution fat-suppressed 3D T1-weighted (T1w) and 3D T2-weighted (T2w) MRI in this topic. However, research on the fusion of these sequences in a merged ‘PET-scanner-like’ multiplanar reconstruction (Fusion 3D T1/T2) is still lacking.Our primary objective was to assess whether the diagnostic accuracy of Fusion 3D T1/T2 wa…

Imaging of non-stenotic carotid plaque for embolic stroke of undetermined source
Ischemic stroke is a significant cause of death and disability. Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS) accounts for a large proportion of acute ischemic strokes. A clear etiology is crucial for the treatment and prevention of stroke. The pathogenic mechanism of non-stenotic carotid plaque (NSCP) in ESUS is not yet fully understood. This study used computed tomographic angiography (CTA) to assess the correlation between NSCP and ESUS.

Safety and feasibility of percutaneous pulsed electrical field ablation in multiple organs: A multi-center retrospective study☆
The use of ablation has been shown to be effective in local control of oligometastatic disease or in primary tumors as either an adjunct or alternative to surgery [1–3]. Pulsed Electrical Fields (PEF) is a new non-thermal ablation technology, which delivers short burst of electrical energy to kills cells via cellular stress as well as direct damage to cellular organelles [4,5].

What New Research Reveals About Novice Use of AI-Guided Cardiac Ultrasound
In a study recently presented at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) conference, researchers found that novice use of AI-guided cardiac ultrasound after an AI-enabled electrocardiogram increased the positive predictive value for reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) or aortic valve stenosis by 33 percent.
