Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is one of the more severe subtypes of cervical spondylosis, accounting for 10 % to 15 % of all cervical spondylosis cases [1]. While early-stage symptoms may be mild, progressive neurological dysfunction and disability often occur as the disease advances, severely impacting patients’ quality of life [2,3]. Notably, postoperative recovery in CSM patients follows a non-linear trajectory that is not consistently correlated with time, further complicating long-t…

Establishing updated diagnostic reference levels for interventional radiology: a national Italian survey incorporating procedure complexity indices – Part II: interventional neuroradiology
The introduction of innovative technologies and devices in interventional neuroradiology (INR) has significantly improved specialists’ ability to treat a wide range of potentially life-threatening cerebrovascular conditions. [1]. However, using X-ray imaging devices involves stochastic risks and the potential for tissue reactions [2–5]. According to Sanchez et al [6], the radiation dose absorbed by patients undergoing interventional neuroradiology procedures may be sufficiently high to induce ra…

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…

Letter to the Editor regarding “Allergological evaluation of hypersensitivity reactions after administration of contrast agents: What the radiologist needs to know” – The role of polyethylene glycol in contrast-induced hypersensitivity
We read with great interest the recent article by Vega et al. titled “Allergological evaluation of hypersensitivity reactions after administration of contrast agents: What the radiologist needs to know” [1]. The authors comprehensively addressed diagnostic algorithms for contrast-induced hypersensitivity. However, we wish to highlight an aspect that warrants further consideration: the role of polyethylene glycol (PEG) in hypersensitivity reactions to sulphur hexafluoride microbubbles (SonoVue®),…
