Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, has witnessed a significant increase in incidence over the last two decades in the United States [1]. Predominantly arising in cirrhotic livers, HCC is associated with a dismal average 5-year survival rate of 18 % [2,3].

Feasibility of bioresorbable gelatin microspheres for organ-preserving transarterial embolization in arterial bleeding
Transarterial embolization (TAE) is an essential cornerstone therapeutic technique in interventional radiology that is widely applied in the management of traumatic or non-traumatic bleeding and oncology [1–6]. Through selective occlusion of blood flow to targeted areas, TAE effectively controls acute bleeding and reduces tumor vascularity [2]. Across its clinical applications, the primary goal of TAE is achieving hemostasis while extensively preserving healthy tissue function, which highlights …

Contrast-enhanced CT-Derived extracellular volume fraction predicts survival in postoperative pancreatic cancer patients
To evaluate the prognostic value of extracellular volume (ECV) fraction derived from contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) in predicting survival outcomes of resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

Explainable classification of Parkinson’s disease with different motor subtypes by analyzing the synthetic MRI quantitative parameters of subcortical nuclei
Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer’s disease, affecting 2–3 % of individuals aged 65 and older and an estimated 7–10 million people worldwide [1,2]. Clinically, PD is categorized into Tremor-Dominant (TD), Postural Instability and Gait Difficulty (PIGD), and mixed subtypes based on the MDS Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). PIGD progresses more rapidly, is associated with more non-motor symptoms, and responds less effectiv…

Deep transfer learning radiomics combined with explainable machine learning for preoperative thymoma risk prediction based on CT
To develop and validate a computerized tomography (CT)‑based deep transfer learning radiomics model combined with explainable machine learning for preoperative risk prediction of thymoma.

Predicting brain metastases in EGFR-positive lung adenocarcinoma patients using pre-treatment CT lung imaging data
As the predominant histologic subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), lung adenocarcinoma demonstrates the highest incidence of brain metastasis (BM), with EGFR-positive patients exhibiting particularly predisposed to developing BM within 24 months of initial diagnosis [1,2]. The clinical prognosis for BM remains dismal, and median overall survival (OS) durations is between 3 and 14.8 months across major clinical trials [3–5]. Notably, first-line EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) thera…

Performance of conventional MRI and endoscopy in assessing complete tumor response following immunotherapy-based neoadjuvant therapy for rectal cancer
The landscape of immunotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) has evolved rapidly in recent years [1], offering new possibilities for patients to consider the watch-and-wait strategy, which may reduce the risk of unnecessary perioperative complications [2]. However, the decision to avoid the standard surgery and adopt the watch-and-wait strategy necessitates a reliable preoperative method for determining the pathological complete response (pCR; ypT0N0) status.

The clinical value of second-opinion reporting by subspecialist musculoskeletal radiologists
This systematic review aims to evaluate the added clinical value of secondary interpretations produced by specialist musculoskeletal radiologists. Additional aims are to identify clinical settings producing more discrepant cases between the initial and secondary interpreters.
