Characterization of renal masses with MRI-based radiomics: assessment of inter-package and inter-observer reproducibility in a prospective pilot study
ConclusionRadiomics features extracted from T1-WI-post-contrast demonstrated greater inter-package and inter-observer reproducibility compared to ADC, with fair accuracy for distinguishing RCC from benign RM.Clinical relevanceKnowledge of reproducibility of MRI radiomics features obtained on renal masses will aid in future study design and may enhance the diagnostic utility of radiomics models for renal mass characterization.Graphical abstract (Source: Abdominal Imaging)

MRI, clinical, and radiomic models for differentiation of uterine leiomyosarcoma and leiomyoma
ConclusionWhile multiple MRI and clinical features differed between LM and LMS groups, the model combining MRI, clinical, and radiomic features had the best predictive ability but was only marginally better than a model utilizing conventional MRI and clinical data alone.Graphical abstract (Source: Abdominal Imaging)

Intravoxel incoherent motion assessment of liver fibrosis staging in MASLD
ConclusionAccording to our partial correlation analysis, there was a moderate correlation between Dfast andF according to fibrosis stage, and Dfast was not influenced by inflammation or steatosis when diagnosing fibrosis in MASLD patients. A relatively close Dfast threshold is insufficient for accurately and noninvasively assessing various stages of MASLD fibrosis. In clinical practice, this approach can be considered an alternative method for the preliminary assessment of fibrosis in MASLD patients. (Source: Abdominal Imaging)

Comparison between pelvic MRI, CT, and PET/CT in baseline staging and radiation planning of anal squamous cell carcinoma
ConclusionOur exploratory study showed that MRI demonstrated a higher proportion of T3/T4 tumors, while PET/CT demonstrated more T1/T2 tumors; however, MRI, CT, and PET/CT did not show any significant differences in AJCC and TNM group categories, nor was there any significant difference in treatment doses between them when assessed independently by an experienced radiation oncologist.Graphical abstract (Source: Abdominal Imaging)

Performance of CT in the locoregional staging of colon cancer: detailed radiology-pathology correlation with special emphasis on tumor deposits, extramural venous invasion and T staging
ConclusionOverall, CT performed well in the evaluation of colon cancer, as did TD and EMVI. It is advisable to include these parameters in CT-based staging. Radiologists should be aware of the pitfalls that occur more commonly in different segments. (Source: Abdominal Imaging)
