The 1p/19q status is a critical molecular marker for subclassifying isocitrate dehydrogenase(IDH)-mutant adult diffuse gliomas and plays a pivotal role in prognostication and therapeutic decision-making [1–3]. However, pathology-based determination is inherently delayed, failing to provide timely guidance prior to invasive diagnostic procedures.

Development and validation of an interpretable machine learning model for predicting intraoperative HDI in PPGL based on intratumoral and peritumoral CT radiomic features
Intraoperative hemodynamic instability (HDI) might lead to severe complications for pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) patients. This study aims to construct a machine learning (ML) model to predict HDI based on intratumoral and peritumoral CT radiomics.

Exploring environmental sustainability of artificial intelligence in radiology: A scoping review
Over the decades, human influence on the increased emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) like carbon dioxide and methane has led to significant global changes in weather and climate extremes [1]. In 2014, the carbon footprint of the global health care sector was 2.0 Gt CO2, accounting for 4.4 % of the global net emissions average. Country comparison shows that the United States of America (USA) had the highest percentage of such emissions (7.6 %), followed by Switzerland (6.7 %), while India had th…

Potential for AI as first reader in lung cancer screening
Early lung cancer (LC) detection by low-dose computed tomography (LDCT)-based lung cancer screening (LCS) has been proven to reduce LC-related mortality in heavy smokers by 20 to 39 % [1–3]. Based on such evidence, LCS programs are being implemented worldwide [4–6], leading to a significant increase in the workload for radiologists.

Prediction of tumor downstaging in locally advanced rectal cancer after neoadjuvant therapy: The value of MRI features of tumor heterogeneity
A critical therapeutic approach that is effective for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) is to formulate individualized treatment strategies following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) on the basis of locoregional and systemic tumor response (“watch-and-wait” approach) [1,2]. Despite ongoing controversies, this strategy can reduce surgery-related and functional complications, thereby benefiting patients [1,3,4]. However, significant individualized differences in therapeutic responses exist…

Comment on “ Analysis of clinical and imaging characteristics of pseudocirrhosis in breast cancer liver metastasis”
The interesting paper by L. Deng et al. [1], which updates the diagnostic radiological imaging of neoplastic pseudocirrhosis (NPC) in breast cancer liver metastasis, merits further exploration from a pathophysiological perspective. This would help us to better understand this pathology, which often indicates an advanced stage of different neoplastic diseases. In order for a liver disease to be classified as an NPC, two criteria must be met: metastatic liver involvement and clinical signs that mi…

Automatic phantom-less QCT predicts hip fracture risk: Bone and muscle parameters comparison
Hip fractures are a severe consequence of osteoporosis, posing substantial health risks to older adults worldwide [1,2]. By 2050, the global number of hip fractures among older adults is projected to reach 4.5 million [3], with 20-24 % of patients dying within 1 year of hip fracture [2,4] and most survivors failing to regain pre-fracture functional levels [5].Therefore, early identification of individuals at high risk is essential for implementing preventive strategies.

mpMRI-based interpretable machine learning model for predicting castration-resistant prostate cancer risk
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer among men worldwide [1]. Due to the subtle nature of early symptoms, most patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage.Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) remains the cornerstone treatment for locally advanced and metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa) [2]. Although most patients eventually progress to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), the duration of CRPC progression varies between individuals [3,4]. Accurately predicting CRPC time befo…

Contrast-enhanced MRI–based multi-parameter habitats radiomics models to predict early recurrence in early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma following curative resection
Despite advancements in surgical resection, liver transplantation, locoregional therapy and the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors, outcomes for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain poor [1]. Hepatectomy is a radical and first-line therapeutic tool for achieving long-term survival in early-stage HCC patients [2]. However, up to 70 % of HCC patients experience subsequent recurrence within 5years after resection [3]. Early recurrence (within 2 years) accounts for approximately 7…
