Endometrial cancer (EC) is a common gynecological malignancy. Over the past 20 years, molecular profiling of EC has played a crucial role in guiding individualized patient care and improving prognostic evaluation [1]. Previous studies have generally classified EC into four molecular subtypes: (1) DNA polymerase epsilon (POLE)-mutated, with pathogenic mutations in the exonuclease domain of POLE; (2) mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR), with loss of mismatch repair proteins; (3) p53-mutant, with a lo…

Diagnostic value of ultrasound in different positions for detecting nutcracker syndrome during physical examination of flying cadets
Nutcracker syndrome (NCS), also known as left renal vein (LRV) entrapment syndrome, results from compression of the LRV between the abdominal aorta (AA) and the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). This compression leads to a range of clinical symptoms, such as hematuria, postural proteinuria and flank pain. When imaging reveals anatomical compression without these symptoms, the condition is referred to as the nutcracker phenomenon (NCP) [1,2]. Some of the NCS symptoms are typically subjective and …

Mindfulness on the brain: a review of structural and functional MRI findings in mindfulness-based stress reduction
Mindfulness practices focus on developing present moment awareness and adopting an attitude of acceptance in everyday life [1]. There has been a growing interest in the application of mindfulness to mental and physical health. Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an 8-week program that trains participants in several mindfulness meditation practices with the goal of managing stress and reducing anxiety [2,3]. The techniques taught include sitting meditation (directing attention to specifi…

Changes in the cerebral glymphatic system after rehabilitation of COVID-19 patients: A five-year follow-up study
COVID-19 patients often experience cognitive deficits and sleep disorders, potentially linked to cerebral glymphatic system (GS) dysfunction. Long-term progression remains unclear.

Pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation on CCTA as a marker of cardiovascular risk: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) attenuation on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) reflects local vascular inflammation, but its prognostic performance across heterogeneous imaging protocols and follow-up durations remains uncertain.

Comparison of perfusion imaging parameters with and without symptom progression in mild stroke patients due to large/medium vessel occlusion
Endovascular treatment (EVT) is a well-established treatment for patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) that have NIHSS scores of ≥ 6 and concomitant large vessel occlusion (LVO) of the ICA or the MCA segment 1 (M1) [1].

Interpretable fusion deep learning on super-resolution MRI for perineural invasion prediction in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: a multicenter study
To develop an interpretable fusion deep learning model based on super-resolution (SR) MRI for predicting preoperative perineural invasion (PNI) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and to evaluate its role in guiding postoperative prognostic and therapeutic decision-making

Accuracy of fully automated iliac artery tortuosity measurements in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm using deep learning
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has emerged as the preferred treatment option for patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms, offering reduced perioperative morbidity and mortality compared with open surgical repair [1,2]. However, the technical success and long-term clinical outcomes of EVAR are affected by multiple anatomical factors, one of which is tortuosity of the common and external iliac arteries [3,4]. Excessive iliac tortuosity can complicate catheter navigation, increase procedural …

Visualisation of lenticulostriate arteries using photon counting detector CT angiography: A retrospective cohort study
The lenticulostriate arteries (LSA) are small perforating arteries, with diameters ranging from 0.08–1.4 mm, which predominantly arise from the first segment of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) [1]. They provide vascular supply to the basal ganglia, which are involved in motor control, speech, reward and cognition [2]. Due to a lack of collateral blood supply, the LSA vascular territory is considered vulnerable to ischemia. Prior studies in ischaemic stroke patients found that additional infarct…

Diagnostic performance of AI-Assisted coronary CT Angiography: A systematic review and Meta-Analysis
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is recommended by various appropriate use criteria and chest pain guidelines for diagnosing ischemic heart disease (1,2). While multiple studies have validated the diagnostic precision of CCTA, its performance varies which is largely due to differences in reader expertise (3,4). As a result, several academic societies are actively implementing initiatives aimed at enhancing the proficiency of CCTA readers while ensuring consistency in image interpr…
