Lung cancer remains the most prevalent malignancy and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide [1], with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) being the predominant histological subtype. Surgical resection is the standard of care for patients with stage IB-IIA (T2N0M0) NSCLC. However, the role of adjuvant chemotherapy remains controversial as the balance between its survival benefits and associated side effects is still under evaluation.

Automatic analysis of carpal angles using dynamic CT imaging: Reference values in healthy wrists and assessment of scapholunate ligament injuries
Injuries to the hand and wrist are a common problem, accounting for approximately 20 % of all emergency department visits.[1] The scapholunate (SL) ligament, a primary wrist stabiliser, is the most frequently injured ligament in the wrist.[2] If left untreated, this injury can lead to abnormal kinematics of the wrist joint, and potentially severe osteoarthritis.[3] Due to the complexity of the wrist, diagnosing SL ligament injuries remains challenging.[4,5] Wrist arthroscopy is considered the re…

Predictive model based on mesorectal fat radiomics for pathological complete response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer
Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy(nCRT) combined with total mesorectal excision is a standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) [1]. About 15–30 % of patients reach pathological complete response (pCR) after nCRT [2,3]. Patients with pCR suggests favorable prognostic biological tumor features and better survival [2]. These patients may benefit from organ preservation or watch-and-wait to avoid unnecessary surgery, especially those with lower rectal cancer and elder patients [4–6]. …

Enlarged choroid plexus is associated with reduced gray matter volumes and increased plasma amyloid-beta: a population-based study of older adults
The choroid plexus (ChP) is a highly vascularized structure comprising a monolayer of epithelial cells with microvilli that surrounds connective tissue and permeable capillaries in the brain ventricles [1]. The ChP is known to play a crucial role in producing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and in forming a permeability-regulating barrier between the blood and the CSF, known as the blood-CSF barrier [2]. Evidence has emerged that ChP volume is increased in patients with neurodegenerative disorders and…

Application of contrast-enhanced CT-driven multimodal machine learning models for pulmonary metastasis prediction in head and neck adenoid cystic carcinoma
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a malignant tumor originating from head and neck glands, accounting for 10 %–15 % of all salivary gland tumors [1–3], with pulmonary metastasis rates ranging from 20 %–40 % [4–6]. Early prediction of pulmonary metastasis is critical for prognostic evaluation and personalized therapeutic planning. In advanced cases, surgical resection of metastases is rarely indicated, with systemic therapies (chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy) predominating to con…

More than a rebuttal: a field guide to letters to the editor in radiology
In recent years, Letters to the Editor (LTEs) or correspondence in academic journals have increasingly served as a platform for academic discussion that exceeds the scope of reader rebuttals to recently published papers. In the field of Radiology, LTE has become a valuable forum for debate based on clinical observations of image diagnosis and has played an important role in promoting further discussion of recently published papers [1,2]. There are two significant aspects of LTE for the scientifi…

Sarcopenia diagnosed by chest CT predicts long-term mortality in critically ill patients with exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a prevalent condition. It remains one of the major causes of disability and death worldwide, leading to enormous public-health problems and economic burdens [1–3]. COPD is occasionally accompanied by periods of acute exacerbations. The exacerbation of COPD (ECOPD) is a pivotal driver for adverse clinical outcomes, leading to a significant deterioration in pulmonary function, a marked decrease in life quality, and a higher risk of mortality [4–6]. E…

Optimized post-processing parameters for dry bone computed tomography imaging: Recommendations for diverse research applications
This study aimed to compare the performance of different convolution kernels and reconstruction matrices in enhancing computed tomography (CT) image quality and three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction quality. Based on these findings, recommendations for optimizing CT post-processing parameters are provided to meet various research needs.

Time-varying relationship between ischemic core volume and outcomes after mechanical thrombectomy
The time-varying relationship between ischemic core volume and neurological outcomes remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate how this relationship changes over time in patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (MT) and create visual probability heat maps to help clinical decision-making.

Multiphase MRI-Derived Delta radiomics integrated with clinical features for survival prediction in hepatocellular carcinoma after thermal ablation
To evaluate the predictive value of a delta radiomic score (DRS)derived from multiphase contrast-enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), in combination with clinical characteristics, forecasting overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after thermal ablation.
