CT and MRI of abdominal cancers: current trends and perspectives in the era of radiomics and artificial intelligence
AbstractAbdominal cancers continue to pose daily challenges to clinicians, radiologists and researchers. These challenges are faced at each stage of abdominal cancer management, including early detection, accurate characterization, precise assessment of tumor spread, preoperative planning when surgery is anticipated, prediction of tumor aggressiveness, response to therapy, and detection of recurrence. Technical advances in medical imaging, often in combination with imaging biomarkers, show great promise in addressing such challenges. Information extracted from imaging datasets owing to the application of radiomics can be u...

Key CT and MRI findings of drug-associated hepatobiliary and pancreatic disorders
AbstractObtaining an imaging diagnosis of various hepatobiliary and pancreatic disorders caused by certain drugs can often be challenging. Familiarity with these conditions may improve diagnostic accuracy and patient management. This review aimed to describe the imaging findings of drug-associated hepatobiliary and pancreatic disorders and identify suggestions for obtaining a correct diagnosis. We focused on relatively common disorders or those that can present with characteristic imaging findings, such as drug-induced acute hepatitis, sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, focal nodular hyperplasia-like lesions, hepatocellular ...

Magnetic resonance bone imaging: applications to vertebral lesions
AbstractMR bone imaging is a recently introduced technique, that allows visualization of bony structures in good contrast against adjacent structures, like CT. Although CT has long been considered the modality of choice for bone imaging, MR bone imaging allows visualization of the bone without radiation exposure while simultaneously allowing conventional MR images to be obtained. Accordingly, MR bone imaging is expected as a new imaging technique for the diagnosis of miscellaneous spinal diseases. This review presents several sequences used in MR bone imaging including black bone imaging, ultrashort/zero echo time (UTE/ZTE...
