Pattern of care for re-irradiation in locally recurrent rectal cancer: a national survey on behalf of the AIRO gastrointestinal tumors study group
ConclusionOur survey showed that re-RT treatment is performed with advanced technology that allow a good management of LR rectal cancer. Significant variations were observed in terms of dose and fractionation, highlighting the need for a consensus on a common treatment strategy that could be validated in prospective studies.

Chest CT features of COVID-19 in vaccinated versus unvaccinated patients: use of CT severity score and outcome analysis
ConclusionsLung involvement during COVID-19 was significantly less severe in vaccinated patients compared with unvaccinated patients, who also showed worse clinical outcomes. Vaccination status was the strongest variable associated to the severity of COVID-related, more than age, gender, and number of doses administered. (Source: La Radiologia Medica)

Pivotal role of multiphase computed tomography angiography for collateral assessment in patients with acute ischemic stroke
AbstractThe cerebral collateral circulation is the main compensatory mechanism that maintains the ischemic penumbra viable, the tissue at risk for infarction that can be saved if blood flow is restored by reperfusion therapies. In clinical practice, the extent of collateral vessels recruited after vessel occlusion can be easily assessed with computed tomography angiography (CTA) using two different techniques: single-phase CTA (sCTA) and multi-phase CTA (mCTA). Both these methodologies have demonstrated a high prognostic predictive value for prognosis due to the strong association between the presence of good collaterals a...

Magnetic resonance imaging in naso-oropharyngeal carcinoma: role of texture analysis in the assessment of response to radiochemotherapy, a preliminary study
ConclusionsTexture analysis on post-gadolinium T1 images and ADC maps can differentiate residual cancer from fibrosis and inflammation in early follow-up of naso-oropharyngeal carcinoma treated with RT-CHT. (Source: La Radiologia Medica)

Preliminary study for prediction of benign vertebral compression fracture age by quantitative water fraction using modified Dixon sequences: an imaging biomarker of fracture age
ConclusionsWater fraction is a good imaging biomarker for the fracture healing process. The water fraction ratio of the compression fractures can be used to predict the fracture age of benign VCFs. (Source: La Radiologia Medica)
