The introduction of innovative technologies and devices in interventional neuroradiology (INR) has significantly improved specialists’ ability to treat a wide range of potentially life-threatening cerebrovascular conditions. [1]. However, using X-ray imaging devices involves stochastic risks and the potential for tissue reactions [2–5]. According to Sanchez et al [6], the radiation dose absorbed by patients undergoing interventional neuroradiology procedures may be sufficiently high to induce ra…

Exploring white matter abnormalities in different subtypes of spastic cerebral palsy using fixel-based analysis
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurological disorder characterized by impaired movement and posture, resulting from permanent brain damage before, during [1] or after birth [2]. About 80-90% of individuals with CP have spasticity, such as hemiplegia, diplegia, or quadriplegia depending on which limb is affected[3]. White matter damage in cerebrum, particularly periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), is commonly observed in individuals with spastic CP [4]. PVL may include focal and diffuse components, such…

Letter to the Editor regarding “Allergological evaluation of hypersensitivity reactions after administration of contrast agents: What the radiologist needs to know” – The role of polyethylene glycol in contrast-induced hypersensitivity
We read with great interest the recent article by Vega et al. titled “Allergological evaluation of hypersensitivity reactions after administration of contrast agents: What the radiologist needs to know” [1]. The authors comprehensively addressed diagnostic algorithms for contrast-induced hypersensitivity. However, we wish to highlight an aspect that warrants further consideration: the role of polyethylene glycol (PEG) in hypersensitivity reactions to sulphur hexafluoride microbubbles (SonoVue®),…

Noninvasive MRI assessment of cerebrospinal fluid pressure in different phases of Ménière’s disease: a prospective study
Ménière’s disease (MD) is an idiopathic inner ear disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of vertigo, fluctuating sensorineural hearing loss, and tinnitus, associated with a pathological accumulation of endolymphatic fluid in the inner ear [1]. The typical progression of MD includes episodes of acute symptoms and periods of remission. Over the past eight decades, histopathological analyses of human temporal bones have consistently established a correlation between MD and endolymphatic hydro…

Comparison of diagnostic capability and subtypes classification for inguinal hernias between upright and supine ADCTs
Inguinal hernias are the most common form of hernias, where a defect in the abdominal wall leads to protrusion of the parietal peritoneum with or without abdominal contents at the level of the groin. The lifetime risk of developing inguinal hernia is estimated to be 27–43 % in men and 3–6 % in women, with increasing incidence at advanced age and with higher body mass index [1–4]. Inguinal hernias can be complicated by incarceration or strangulation [5]. Surgical repair is the treatment of choice…

Radiation segmentectomy for treatment of hepatic oligometastases greater than 3 cm
The effectiveness of percutaneous thermoablation as curative treatment of hepatic oligometastases greater than 3 cm can be limited by the ability to achieve adequate ablation coverage. Radiation segmentectomy (RS) is an established treatment and potentially curative for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) up to 8 cm. This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of RS for secondary liver tumors larger than 3 cm.

Deep learning image reconstruction improves 40 keV virtual monoenergetic image quality in rectal cancer
In 2022, colorectal cancer was the third most prevalent cancer globally and the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality [1]. Accurate preoperative diagnosis and staging are critical for determining personalized treatment strategies and improving patient outcomes [2]. Specifically, precise staging allows clinicians to select the most appropriate therapies based on individual disease characteristics, thereby optimizing both short-term and long-term patient management (Fig. 1).

Large language models in radiomics quality assessment—promise, progress, and precautions
Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as powerful tools with the potential to transform both scientific research and clinical practice [1]. Trained on vast text corpora and refined through reinforcement learning, these systems can generate human-like responses, synthesize complex information, and perform structured evaluations. Their potential is particularly compelling for time-consuming and variability-prone tasks, such as auditing methodological quality in radiomics research [2,3]. Radiom…
