Shear wave elastography of kidneys in children: utility in distinguishing steroid-resistant and steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome
ConclusionThe mean SWE was higher in children with SRNS. While SWE has potential to differentiate SSNS from SRNS, a different study design where SWE is performed at presentation is needed for confirmation. (Source: Abdominal Imaging)

Prediction of locally advanced rectal cancer response to neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy using volumetric multiparametric MRI-based radiomics
ConclusionRadiomic models obtained from pre-treatment MRI show good to excellent performance for the prediction of pCR in patients with LARC, superior to clinical parameters and CEA. A larger study is needed for confirmation of these results.Graphical abstract (Source: Abdominal Imaging)

Ultrasound findings of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma: comparison with other malignant hepatic tumors
ConclusionHEHE mainly performed multiple hypoechoic lesions on CUS and displayed greater odds of synchronous enhancement in arterial phase, iso- or hypo-enhancement in peak time and wash out more quickly on CEUS, which allowed for differentiation from other common malignant tumors.Graphical abstract (Source: Abdominal Imaging)

CT findings in idiopathic myointimal hyperplasia of mesenteric veins (IMHMV) and comparison to other colitides
ConclusionIMHMV is a rare chronic non-thrombotic ischemia predominantly involving the rectosigmoid colon. CT features that may aid in differentiating IMHMV from other causes of left-sided colitis include marked bowel wall thickening with decreased enhancement, IMV and peripheral mesenteric venous occlusion or tapering, and early filling of dilated veins on CTA.Graphical abstract (Source: Abdominal Imaging)

Preoperative evaluation of MRI features and inflammatory biomarkers in predicting microvascular invasion of combined hepatocellular cholangiocarcinoma
ConclusionInflammatory biomarkers and MRI features could be potential predictors for MVI in cHCC-CCA. The combined model, derived from inflammatory biomarkers and MRI features, showed good performance in preoperatively predicting MVI in cHCC-CCA patients.Graphical abstract (Source: Abdominal Imaging)

Peer learning in abdominal radiology: iterative process improvements over a 20-year experience
ConclusionImplementing an effective PLI program requires sustained communication, education, and continuous process improvement. While PLI can certainly lead to process and individual performance improvement, the program requires trained champions, designated time, effort, resources, education, and patience to be effectively implemented.Graphical abstract (Source: Abdominal Imaging)

Improving prognostication in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing loco-regional therapy using pre- and post-locoregional therapy scores
ConclusionIn patients with HCC undergoing LRT, the mod-BCLC stages have subgroups with variable overall TFS. The NIACE score, HAP score, and ABCR score identified differential prognoses is within mod-BCLC stages and characterized subgroups with different TFS following LRT (TAE). Integration of these scoring systems into treatment decisions would help to improve prognostication within respective mod-BCLC groups, which may help with more customized treatment allocation.Graphical abstract (Source: Abdominal Imaging)

Intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging for evaluating the pancreatic perfusion in cirrhotic patients
ConclusionThe IVIM-derived perfusion-related parameter (f value) could be helpful for the evaluation of pancreatic perfusion in liver cirrhosis. Our data also suggest that the blood perfusion decrease in the pancreas is present in liver cirrhosis, and the pancreatic perfusion tends to decrease with the increasing severity of hepatic function.Trial registrationTrial registration number is 2021-ky-68 and date of registration for prospectively registered trials is February 23, 2022.Graphical abstract (Source: Abdominal Imaging)
