ACR Appropriateness Criteria® Management of Chylothorax
Chylothorax, the accumulation of lymphatic fluid within the pleural cavity, results from disruption or obstruction of the thoracic duct or its tributaries, or from transdiaphragmatic chylous ascites. When severe, this condition may impair respiratory function and induce metabolic complications because of chronic loss of protein and lipids. Management strategies ranging from dietary modifications, medical therapy, surgical ligation, pleurodesis, and lymphatic embolization, generally follow a tier…

Acoustic guide pad: a simple innovation that dramatically reduces the risk of misdiagnosis in respiratory muscle ultrasound examinations
Respiratory muscle ultrasound is increasingly applied in clinical practice, but its heterogeneity and operator dependency limit quantitative assessments. This study first introduces the use of acoustic guide pads to improve reproducibility, and further evaluates their clinical applicability in the stratification of COPD.

A radiomics-driven approach for predicting response to induction therapy in multiple myeloma: Leveraging CT-based delta features
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a systemic hematologic malignancy defined by the neoplastic proliferation of plasma cells within the bone marrow. A hallmark of its clinical course is the development of myeloma bone disease (MBD), a debilitating complication occurring in approximately 90% of patients. Driven by uncoupled bone remodeling, MBD leads to progressive osteolysis and skeletal fragility [1], directly impacting patient survival and quality of life. While bone marrow biopsy, serological markers, …

Transparent reporting is central to reproducible radiological AI research: A call to action
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly embedded in radiology research and practice, yet concerns about the reproducibility of AI studies remain a key barrier to regulatory acceptance and clinical translation. Transparent reporting across the analytic pipeline is essential for independent verification, evidence synthesis, and safe implementation.

Re: When imaging phase shapes physiology: A commentary on CFD fidelity in multiphase CCTA
Mechanical stimuli, mediated by the activation of Piezo ion channels, drive many physiological processes including cardiovascular functions and disease progression.1 Significant efforts have therefore been devoted to quantifying mechanical loads within the cardiovascular system. Determining wall shear stress (WSS) and vessel structural stress (VSS), along with derived parameters such as the oscillatory shear index (OSI), relative residence time (RRT) and stress gradient, requires detailed knowle…

Prognostic value of aortic valve calcium score on contrast cardiac computed tomography in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement
Aortic valve calcification (AVCa) is characterized by progressive thickening, scarring, and degeneration of the aortic valve, which promotes calcium deposition and is ultimately associated with aortic stenosis (AS).1 In clinical practice, AVCa is generally quantified using the modified Agatston score technique on non-contrast computed tomography (CT), with thresholds of >2000 for men and >1200 for women for severe AS with prognostic implications 1–3. However, contrast-enhanced CT is now ro…

Reply to Letter to the Editor: Correlation between MRI-derived and biopsy-confirmed liver iron concentration in patients with chronic liver disease
We thank Luthfiyah et al. [1] for their thoughtful and constructive comments regarding potential spatial heterogeneity and the use of single-slice region-of-interest (ROI) measurements in our study [2].
