Radiomics and machine learning analysis by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in colorectal liver metastases prognostic assessment
ConclusionsThe results confirmed the Radiomics capacity to recognize clinical and histopathological prognostic features that should influence the choice of treatments in colorectal liver metastases patients to obtain a more personalized therapy. (Source: La Radiologia Medica)

Radiomics nomogram based on optimal VOI of multi-sequence MRI for predicting microvascular invasion in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
ConclusionA nomogram combining tumor size, intrahepatic ductal dilatation, and the radiomics model of MRI multi-sequence fusion at VOI10mm may be a predictor of preoperative MVI status in ICC patients. (Source: La Radiologia Medica)

Comparison of diagnostic performance of two ultrasound risk stratification systems for thyroid nodules: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionThe two risk stratification systems had good diagnostic performance with high AUC and no significant differences. The ideal cut-off can depend on the medical condition or thyroid nodules, because the changes of cut-off point may reciprocally alter sensitivity and specificity. (Source: La Radiologia Medica)

Microwave ablation with a blunt-tip antenna for pulmonary ground-glass nodules: a retrospective, multicenter, case –control study
ConclusionIn the treatment of ground-glass nodules, microwave ablation with a blunt-tip antenna had equal efficacy compared to microwave ablation with a sharp-tip antenna but had a decreased number of hemorrhage and hemothorax complications. (Source: La Radiologia Medica)

A narrative review for radiation oncologists to implement preoperative partial breast irradiation
AbstractThe strategy to anticipate radiotherapy (RT) before surgery, for breast cancer (BC) treatment, has recently generated a renewed interest. Historically, preoperative RT has remained confined either to highly selected patients, in the context of personalized therapy, or to clinical research protocols. Nevertheless, in the recent years, thanks to technological advances and increased tumor biology understanding, RT has undergone great changes that have also impacted the preoperative settings, embracing the modern approach to breast cancer. In particular, the reappraisal of preoperative RT can be viewed within the broad...

Prognostic analysis of stereotactic radiosurgery for brain metastases: a single-center retrospective study
ConclusionsBM number is an independent prognostic factor for BM patients. The prognosis of patients in the subgroup with larger CITV and more BM is the worst. For patients with more than 5 BM, the combination of SRS and WBRT can improve the local control, but cannot prolong the OS. (Source: La Radiologia Medica)
