Glioblastoma is characterized by rapid growth, invasive behavior, and poor prognosis [1]. Despite advancements in therapeutic approaches, including surgery and chemoradiotherapy, the median survival is dismally low [2,3]. Effective monitoring of glioblastoma is critical for optimizing treatment strategies and improving patient outcomes.

Racial differences in atherosclerosis and coronary plaque characteristics using enhanced AI quantification (RACE-AI)
Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has become a cornerstone in cardiovascular risk assessment, allowing for the quantification of coronary artery disease (CAD) burden and characterization of high-risk plaque features associated with adverse outcomes. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring, utilizing the Agatston method, has been extensively validated as a predictor of cardiovascular events, with calcified plaques considered more stable and non-calcified plaques (NCP) linked to heighte…

Improved prediction of periprocedural myocardial injury by plaque quantification from coronary CT angiography
High-risk plaque characteristics on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) were reported to be associated with periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) after elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).1 However, the binary categorization of low-attenuation plaque (LAP) based on visual assessment lacks spatial information. Here, we introduced a new LAP index, “peak x-mm LAP volume (peakLAPxmm),” which accounts for the size and density of LAP voxels. We aimed to develop a PMI predict…

Contrast enhanced ultrasound versus MRI for response assessment of extra-abdominal desmoid Fibromatosis- A feasibility study
Desmoid Fibromatosis (DF) is a locally aggressive soft tissue tumor which was traditionally managed with surgical excision. However due to high rates of local recurrence and insights about its behavior, there is now a paradigm shift towards active surveillance and medical management. Imaging plays a crucial role in surveillance and treatment response; however, conventional RECIST criteria are not adequate for DF. MRI is the preferred modality but faces limitation in availability and uniformity. …

Advancements in diagnosing stiffness and vascularization of synovitis in hands and wrists using shear wave elastography and power doppler ultrasound in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus
This study aimed to compare synovial joint effusion stiffness and vascularization using shear wave elastography (SWE) and Power Doppler ultrasound (PDU) among systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with varying joint symptoms and healthy controls and to explore associations with patient characteristics.

Preoperative identification of hepatocellular carcinoma from focal liver lesions ≤ 20 mm in high-risk patients using clinical and contrast-enhanced ultrasound features
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver malignancy [1] and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide [2]. High-risk patients, including those with liver cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis B or C, or alcohol abuse, require imaging surveillance [3].

Accuracy of a deep neural network for automated pulmonary embolism detection on dedicated CT pulmonary angiograms
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a serious and potentially fatal condition, and with its high incidence and mortality rate, it ranks as the third most common cardiovascular syndrome worldwide [1]. With the advancement in imaging technology, including improved image quality, the sensitivity of PE detection has increased [2]. CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is currently the first-line modality for diagnosing PE due to its excellent accuracy and low rate of inconclusive results [3,4]. Now, clinicians are…

Accuracy of coronary CTA using spectral CT in patients with high calcium score
The effectiveness of coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) is hindered by high coronary calcium scores, which create blooming artefacts that obscure the coronary lumen and lead to inaccurate stenosis assessments.1 Spectral CT, utilizing multi-energy CT technology, allows data acquisition at different energy levels, improving coronary artery visualization, particularly in the presence of calcified plaques.2–4 This study evaluates the accuracy of coronary CTA using spectral CT in patients…

Expanded FDA Approval Allows Use of Pluvicto Prior to Chemotherapy in Patients with mCRPC
Recent research demonstrated a 59 percent reduced risk of progression or death with the radioligand therapy Pluvicto in comparison to a change of androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
