Spondylodiscitis is an infection involving the spine, most commonly of bacterial origin, though fungal and tuberculous etiologies may also occur, particularly in immunocompromised individuals [1]. The incidence of pyogenic spondylodiscitis has increased in recent years due to aging populations and a higher prevalence of chronic diseases, immunosuppressive therapies, and intravenous drug use. An early and accurate diagnosis of spondylodiscitis is essential to prevent complications such as neurolo…

Prediction of IDH-mutation and 1p19q-codeletion status in adult-type diffuse gliomas using three-class radiomics models
Adult-type diffuse gliomas, a group of heterogenous tumors, are the most common primary tumors of central nervous system (CNS), and the treatment reaction and prognosis vary among different subgroups [1,2]. As a group of highly heterogeneous tumors, hundreds of molecular alterations have been discovered in the past 3 decades in the research of glioma biology [2–4]. Among those alterations, isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation status and chromosome arms 1p and 19q (1p19q) codeletion status are…

Performance of CT-based Node-RADS for assessing cervical regional lymph Node metastasis in Papillary thyroid carcinoma
Thyroid cancer ranks as the seventh most common tumor globally in terms of incidence and fifth in women[1]. Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the major subtype among thyroid malignancies, accounting for approximately 80 % of all thyroid cancers[2]. Cervical regional lymph node metastasis (LNM) is a risk factor associated with local recurrence and poor survival in patients with PTC, which can reach an incidence of 40 % − 90 %[3,4]. Furthermore, recurrence and persistent disease occurs in 30 % …

Quantitative susceptibility mapping for the comprehensive assessment of adult-type diffuse gliomas
Adult-type diffuse gliomas are the most common primary malignant tumors of the adult brain parenchyma [1]. With the updates to the World Health Organization classification of central nervous system tumors (WHO CNS) in 2016 and 2021, molecular profiling has become increasingly important in the diagnosis and grading of gliomas [2,3]. Distinct molecular markers and grades exhibit varying biological behaviors and show significant differences in sensitivity to radiotherapy and chemotherapy [4]. Addit…
