Navigating the complexities of recall rates in breast cancer screening: Insights from the Irish national breast cancer screening programme
Recall rate (RR) is considered one of the key performance indicators of any breast screening programme[1]. This is the proportion of women undergoing screening mammography who are requested to return for further imaging. Recall is necessary to further evaluate lesions suspicious for breast cancer. However, there is a fine balance in maintaining high cancer detection rates (CDR) while minimising false positive recalls, where women are recalled for benign findings. Having a false positive recall c…

Can AI-enhanced coronary CT angiography estimate reduced PET myocardial blood flow?
The contemporary use of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) extends beyond sole assessment of luminal stenosis, encompassing detailed plaque volumetry and morphology. These additional data hold promise for improving the accuracy of CCTA in predicting myocardial ischemia—an established determinant of prognosis in chronic coronary syndrome and a guideline-supported gatekeeper to revascularization.1

Exploring white matter abnormalities in different subtypes of spastic cerebral palsy using fixel-based analysis
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurological disorder characterized by impaired movement and posture, resulting from permanent brain damage before, during [1] or after birth [2]. About 80-90% of individuals with CP have spasticity, such as hemiplegia, diplegia, or quadriplegia depending on which limb is affected[3]. White matter damage in cerebrum, particularly periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), is commonly observed in individuals with spastic CP [4]. PVL may include focal and diffuse components, such…
