Quantitative airway evaluation using supine and upright computed tomography in patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis and nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease
Globally, the incidence of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) disease has increased in recent years [1,2], surpassing that of tuberculosis in Japan [3]. Nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) typically manifests as a slowly progressive disease with a significant impact on health-related quality of life [4] and mortality [5]. Radiologic evaluations, including high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), play a crucial role in the diagnosis, management, and understanding of disease…

Magnetic resonance imaging of penile Prostheses: A pictorial review of normal appearances and complications
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the persistent or recurrent inability to achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual relations, affecting an estimated 30–50 % of men aged 40–70 years [1,2]. For patients who have failed conservative management or are ineligible for pharmacological therapies, penile prosthesis implantation represents a definitive treatment option with high satisfaction rates [3–5].

Remnant cholesterol as a cardiovascular risk modifier in patients with coronary atherosclerosis detected by coronary CT angiography
Remnant cholesterol (RC) is an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk (CVR) beyond low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and has been associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). However, its prognostic interaction with coronary atherosclerotic burden as assessed by coronary CT angiography (CCTA) remains poorly defined. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether RC acts as an independent factor or as a modulator of the effect of atherosclerotic burden on the risk of…

Clarifying the practical interpretation of the CAD-RADS “N” modifier in routine coronary CT angiography
We read with great interest the recent article published in the European Journal of Radiology evaluating the diagnostic performance of AI-assisted coronary CT angiography for CAD-RADS classification. This work highlights ongoing efforts to improve the consistency, reproducibility, and clinical usability of CAD-RADS in routine practice, including emerging automated and AI-assisted reporting workflows.
