Pearls and pitfalls of structured staging and reporting of rectal cancer on MRI: an international multireader study
CONCLUSIONS: - Several staging items lacked sufficient reproducibility.- Results for cT- and N-staging g improved when using a dichotomized stratification.- Considering the significant correlation between diagnostic confidence and accuracy, a confidence level may be incorporated into structured reporting for specific items with low reproducibility.ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Although structured reporting aims to achieve uniformity in reporting, several items lack sufficient reproducibility and might benefit from dichotomized assessment and incorporating confidence levels.PMID:38696592 | DOI:10.1259/bjr.20230091 (Source: The Bri...

CT-based radiomics model using stability selection for predicting the WHO/ISUP grade of clear cell renal cell carcinoma
CONCLUSIONS: Combining clinical features with unenhanced CT images of the kidneys seems to be optimal for prediction of WHO/ISUP grade of ccRCC. This noninvasive method may assist in guiding more accurate treatment decisions for ccRCC.ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: This study innovatively employed stability selection for RFs, enhancing model reliability. The CICFs-NCP model's simplicity and efficacy mark a significant advancement, offering a practical tool for clinical decision-making in ccRCC management.PMID:38688660 | DOI:10.1093/bjr/tqae078 (Source: The British Journal of Radiology)

Clinical role of abbreviated and ultrafast mri in breast imaging
Br J Radiol. 2024 Apr 27:tqae079. doi: 10.1093/bjr/tqae079. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCurrent breast cancer screening relies on mammography, digital breast tomosynthesis and breast ultrasound. In select populations, breast MRI is also of great utility. However, multiple factors limit widespread use of breast MRI for screening. Efforts have been made to increase the availability of breast MRI for screening, in large part due to the increased cancer detection rate of breast MRI compared to mammography. Techniques include shortening standard breast MRI protocols with the potential for accommodating MRI screening in a high...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Cardiac Involvement in COVID-19
Br J Radiol. 2024 Apr 24:tqae086. doi: 10.1093/bjr/tqae086. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has led to a diverse pattern of myocardial injuries, including myocarditis, which is linked to adverse outcomes in patients. Research indicates that myocardial injury is associated with higher mortality in hospitalized severe COVID-19 patients (75.8% versus 9.7%). Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) has emerged as a crucial tool in diagnosing both ischemic and non-ischemic myocardial injuries, providing detailed insights into the impact of COVID-19 on myocardial tissue and fun...
