MRI based fractal analysis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma to preoperatively predict lymphnode metastasis
Esophageal carcinoma ranks as the seventh most common malignancy globally, with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) constituting over 80 % of cases in East Asia [1,2]. Lymph node metastasis (LNM), occurring in 38.2 %-43 % of ESCC patients at diagnosis, represents a pivotal prognostic determinant, correlating strongly with reduced 5-year survival rates [3,4]. Accurate preoperative assessment of lymph node status is essential for developing a surgical strategy and thus improving the prognosi…

Fully personalized contrast injection optimized for weight and tube voltage in low-dose fast-pitch coronary CT angiography
Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) is widely accepted as a first-line diagnostic modality in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) due to its excellent negative predictive value and high diagnostic accuracy [1–3]. Reliable intravascular enhancement is essential for high-quality CCTA and is typically achieved by intravenous injection of iodinated contrast media (CM) [4]. However, contrast media distribution and vascular attenuation are strongly influenced by patient-specific factors, …

Comparison of precise imaging and iterative reconstruction techniques at low doses using the dose right index in 100-kVp cerebral CT angiography
Cross-sectional imaging modalities have become indispensable in modern medical diagnostics, offering detailed anatomical visualization with minimal invasiveness[1,2]. Computed tomography (CT), in particular, has significantly advanced neurovascular imaging, facilitating the assessment of intracranial and cervical arteries with high spatial resolution and rapid acquisition times. CT cerebral angiography (CTCA) is extensively utilized to evaluate vascular abnormalities such as aneurysms, arteriove…

Longitudinal follow-up study on the natural growth pattern of multiple pulmonary ground-glass nodules with at least one nodule measuring 6 mm or larger
Multiple ground-glass nodules (GGNs) were defined as the presence of two or more GGNs within the lungs on computed tomography (CT). GGNs could be classified as either pure ground-glass nodules (pGGNs, without solid components) or mixed ground-glass nodules (mGGNs, containing solid components) [1,2]. Previous studies have demonstrated that GGNs that persist after 3–6 months of follow-up are strongly suggestive of primary lung adenocarcinoma [3–5]. However, existing studies on the evaluation and f…

Correlation between MRI-derived and biopsy-confirmed liver iron concentration in patients with chronic liver disease
Iron is an essential physiological element required for hematopoiesis. The liver serves as the principal storage site for iron in the body. Liver iron concentration (LIC) is commonly reported in milligrams of iron per gram of dry liver tissue (mg Fe/g) [1,2]. For the clinical hepatologist, liver iron quantification in chronic liver disease (CLD) patients may help determine disease etiology, progression, and management [3].

Optimization and application of zero echo time sequence in MRI of sacroiliac joints: a preliminary study
Axial spondyloarthritis (ax-SpA) is primarily manifested by active lesions (e.g., bone marrow edema) and structural lesions (e.g., bone erosion, sclerosis.), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the primary method for detecting active lesions. In our previous study, although synthetic MRI Sequences can assess both structural through T1WI (T1 weighted image) sequence and active lesions through STIR, (Short TI Inversion Recovery) sequence, the assessment of structural lesions still mainly relies on…

Simple mucinous cysts of the pancreas: Clinical and imaging findings – Case series and systematic review of the literature
Cystic pancreatic lesions (CPLs) are highly prevalent, especially in patients undergoing magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, due to technical refinements, increased awareness of their existence, and increased use of cross-sectional imaging. Accurate characterization of CPLs is mandatory, as they have a variable biological behavior and require different management according to their histologic nature. Even though the imaging features of CPLs are well known, diagnostic errors are still common among r…

Chest computed tomography of trastuzumab-deruxtecan (T-DXd)-related interstitial lung disease: Key points for radiologists
Trastuzumab-deruxtecan (T-DXd) is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) composed of trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting HER2, linked to the cytotoxic agent deruxtecan via a chemical linker [1]. T-DXd has been increasingly used for treating various advanced human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive tumors, including breast cancer (BC) [2], gastric cancer [3], non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) [4], and colorectal cancer [5]. T-DXd has also shown clinical benefit in advanced HER…

Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI deep learning radiomics for predicting the pathological differentiation degree in hepatocellular carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide [1]. Due to its insidious early symptoms, most patients are found in the middle to late stages with poor prognosis, which determines the duration of survival. Studies have shown that HCC imaging correlates with the degree of pathological differentiation, and the lower the degree of HCC differentiation, the more significant the heterogeneity of the tumor cells and the higher the degree of malignancy [2]. Therefore…
