Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is one of the most prevalent head and neck malignancies in southern China. It is characterized by high aggressiveness, a propensity for recurrence and distant metastasis. Characteristically, 85 % of patients present with cervical lymphadenopathy at diagnosis [1–3]. According to the 8th edition of the International Lymph Node Consensus Guidelines, the parotid lymph node (PLN) is categorized under cervical lymph node group VIII. It primarily drains the parotid gland …

Imaging findings for differentiating and predicting prognosis in undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma and myxofibrosarcoma
Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) and myxofibrosarcoma (MFS), previously known as malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH), are among the most prevalent adult soft tissue sarcomas. UPS lacks an identifying line of differentiation and pleomorphic nuclei. UPS is a high-grade soft tissue sarcoma with a dismal prognosis that typically affects soft tissue in the elderly around 60 years old and has no gender predilection. UPS has no characteristic clinical features that distinguish it from other …

Comparison of average glandular dose in mammography for patients with breast implants when using automatic or manual exposure technique
The aim of this study was to evaluate the average glandular dose (AGD) in mammography screening of women with breast implants and to compare the AGD and image quality obtained with automatic exposure control (AEC) versus manual exposure settings with standard and Eklund techniques (implant displacement).

Myocardial tissue characterization by cardiac MRI for the evaluation of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) already accounts for approximately 50 % of patients with the clinical syndrome of heart failure (HF) and is associated with poor quality of life and premature mortality [1]. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited primary cardiomyopathy with an approximate prevalence of one in 500 [2]. Although life expectancy is normal for the majority of patients with HCM due to the application of contemporary cardiovascular treatmen…

Hyperintense lesions suspect for acute cerebral microbleeds on ultra-high field T1 weighted 7 Tesla MRI in patients with cerebral amyloid angiopathy
The aims of this study are to describe T1 hyperintense lesions on 7 T MRI in patients with hereditary Dutch-type (D-CAA) and sporadic cerebral amyloid angiopathy (sCAA) and their detection rate on 7 T and 3 T MRI.

Radiomic biomarkers for the recurrence prediction of hepatocellular carcinoma treated with postoperative TACE: A multicenter retrospective study
Liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer, and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related mortality [1,2]. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for 75–85 % of all liver cancers. Currently, curative resection is still the most effective treatment for HCC. However, the prognosis after surgery remains poor and unsatisfactory due to the high incidence of recurrence, up to 70 % within 5 years [3].

Human‒machine interaction based on real-time explainable deep learning for higher accurate grading of carotid stenosis from transverse B-mode scan videos
Carotid artery stenosis is an atherosclerotic disease that is responsible for 8 %–20 % of all strokes [1]. And the degree of carotid stenosis is also the primary surrogate for stroke risk and indication of intervention in current guidelines [2].
