Preoperative CT and MRI assessment of the longitudinal tumor extent of extrahepatic bile duct cancer after biliary drainage
CONCLUSION: Pre-BD CT provided better diagnostic performance in the preoperative evaluation of EHD cancer. The longitudinal tumor extent could be accurately assessed with post-BD MRI, which was similar to pre-BD MRI.CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The acquisition of pre-BD CT could be beneficial for the preoperative evaluation of EHD cancer when BD is planned. Post-BD MRI would not be significantly affected by BD in terms of the diagnostic performance of the longitudinal tumor extent.PMID:38375768 | DOI:10.4274/dir.2024.232601 (Source: Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology)

Meta-research on reporting guidelines for artificial intelligence: are authors and reviewers encouraged enough in radiology, nuclear medicine, and medical imaging journals?
CONCLUSION: The findings indicate that AI-specific guidelines are not commonly encouraged and mandated (i.e., requiring a filled-out checklist) by these journals, compared with guidelines related to modeling and unrelated to modeling, leaving vast space for improvement. This meta-research study hopes to contribute to the awareness of the imaging community for AI reporting guidelines and ignite large-scale group efforts by all stakeholders, making AI research less wasteful.CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: This meta-research highlights the need for improved encouragement of AI-specific guidelines in radiology, nuclear medicine, and me...

Institutional clinical indication-based typical dose values of multiphasic abdominopelvic computed tomography examinations
CONCLUSION: The literature reveals large differences in the multiphasic abdominopelvic CT protocols, especially in the number of phases and scan length. This situation makes comparing dose values difficult. Dose studies revealing the protocol parameters in detail are needed so that institutions can compare and optimize their own protocols. Additionally, users should periodically check the dose values in their own institutions.PMID:38375738 | DOI:10.4274/dir.2024.232551 (Source: Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology)

Volumetric segmentation analysis of the levator ani muscle using magnetic resonance imaging in pelvic floor function assessment
CONCLUSION: Alongside the useful structural and functional information acquired from MR defecography images, volumetric analysis, and three-dimensional reconstructions of LAM may help to improve the accuracy of the diagnosis.PMID:38375767 | DOI:10.4274/dir.2024.232586 (Source: Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology)

Head-to-head comparison of < sup > 18 < /sup > F-FDG PET/CT and < sup > 18 < /sup > F-FDG PET/MRI for lymph node metastasis staging in non-small cell lung cancer: a meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: 18F-FDG PET/CT and 18F-FDG PET/MRI have similar diagnostic performance in detecting lymph node metastasis in NSCLC. However, the results of this study were from a small sample study, and further studies with larger sample sizes are needed.PMID:38291975 | DOI:10.4274/dir.2023.232280 (Source: Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology)

Survival prediction using apparent diffusion coefficient values in recurrent glioblastoma under bevacizumab treatment: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis
Diagn Interv Radiol. 2024 Jan 31. doi: 10.4274/dir.2024.232550. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBevacizumab is a common strategy for the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma. Survival status is a crucial issue for patients with recurrent glioblastoma, and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of the lower Gaussian curve have been reported to have the potential to predict prognosis in recurrent glioblastoma. In the present study, we aimed to clarify the survival prediction of ADC values in patients with recurrent glioblastoma receiving bevacizumab treatment through a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized ...
