Currently, the knowledge and preparedness of radiologists and radiology residents to manage hypersensitivity reactions (HSR) to contrast agents (CA) is suboptimal [1,2]. Despite the ongoing call for better education, the incorporation of such practical education in the residency curricula is still very variable [3,4].

AI for fracture diagnosis in clinical practice: Four approaches to systematic AI-implementation and their impact on AI-effectiveness
Accurate and efficient fracture-detection is crucial for timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment-planning, but false negatives are an issue in x-ray image interpretation: missed fractures are the second most common reason for medical malpractice litigations in radiology departments [1–7]. Most frequently missed extremity fractures are those of the hand-wrist and foot–ankle, accounting for up to half of all missed fractures [8,9]. The ever-present quest for improving quality of healthcare, exp…

Nomogram using bi-modal imaging for predicting low-level HER2 expression status in breast cancer
To develop and validate a nomogram based on ultrasound and mammographic imaging features for predicting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-low (HER2-low) expression status in breast cancer.

Cost effectiveness of digital breast tomosynthesis for breast cancer screening in a Swedish setting
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in Sweden and more than one in ten develop breast cancer during their lifetime [1]. Screening for breast cancer by digital mammography (DM) has in early trials been estimated to result in a 20 % relative reduction in breast cancer mortality [2]. Advances in therapy have contributed further to breast cancer mortality reduction. One risk in screening is overdiagnosis, i.e. diagnosis of breast cancer which would never have led to clinical symptoms…

CT-angiography in acute bleeding: Is a non-enhanced scan necessary?
In clinical routine CT-angiography is frequently used to detect hemorrhage and to locate its source. Many centers use a triple phase protocol consisting of non-contrast, arterial and portal venous phase scan. The aim of this study was to clarify the added value of the non-contrast CT scan in detection of hemorrhage and to provide evidence for or against its usage.

Prediction of molecular subtypes of endometrial cancer patients on the basis of intratumoral and peritumoral radiomic features from multiparametric MR images
The purpose of this study was to assess the performance of multiparametric MRI-based radiomic models in predicting the molecular subtypes of endometrial cancer (EC) patients.

Pictorial essay on selected new, emerging, and reclassified entities in the 2020 WHO classification of soft tissue tumors
The World Health Organization (WHO) tumor classification has been instrumental in standardizing cancer diagnosis worldwide by providing clear diagnostic criteria for both research and clinical care [1–5]. The WHO classification reflects a dynamic process, with periodic updates integrating new technical advances in molecular diagnosis and the associated evolving scientific evidence, resulting in the reclassification of outdated tumor categories or terminologies and the addition of new or “emergin…

A radiomics nomogram based on MRI for differentiating vertebral osteomyelitis from vertebral compression fractures
Vertebral osteomyelitis (VOs) is a bone and soft tissue infection that primarily involves the vertebral body and secondarily the intervertebral disc and adjacent soft tissues. The incidence of Vos in individuals aged >70 years is approximately 6.5 per 100 person-years, with a high overall mortality rate of 24 % [1–3]. Although VOs and vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) exhibit similar clinical symptoms, such as localised back pain, restricted movement, and pronounced tenderness upon palpa…

Preliminary evidence that bilateral scaphoid symmetry is not affected by hand dominance or biological sex: Volumetric and geometric analysis using computer tomography high-resolution 0.5 mm slice-thickness
The scaphoid bone has a unique anatomy that can lead to complicated injury healing including non-union with or without avascular necrosis and subsequent complex operative treatment. The use of imaging of contralateral bones for operative planning and implant creation such as bone grafting relies on the innate symmetry of the human body. Previous studies of scaphoid anatomy have demonstrated symmetry in three-dimensional space and volume in right-hand dominant individuals. There is a gap in the l…
