Clinical evaluation of deep learning-based automatic clinical target volume segmentation: a single-institution multi-site tumor experience
ConclusionThis experimental work demonstrated that auto-generated contours could serve as an initial template to help oncologists save time in CTV delineation. The deep learning-based auto-segmentations achieve acceptable accuracy and show the potential to improve clinical efficiency for radiotherapy of a variety of cancer. (Source: La Radiologia Medica)

Flow evaluation software for four-dimensional flow MRI: a reliability and validation study
ConclusionHaemodynamic information from 4D flow in the large thoracic arteries assessed by four commercially available postprocessing applications matches routinely performed 2D PC values. Therefore, we consider 4D flow MRI-derived data ready for clinical use in patients with CHD. (Source: La Radiologia Medica)

A sonogram radiomics model for differentiating granulomatous lobular mastitis from invasive breast cancer: a multicenter study
ConclusionRadiomics features effectively enhance the ability of sonographers to discriminate between GLM and IBC and reduce interobserver variation. The nomogram combining ultrasound features and radiomics features show promising diagnostic efficacy and can be used to identify GLM and IBC in a noninvasive approach. (Source: La Radiologia Medica)

Evaluation of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging of the rectal cancers: comparison between modified reduced field-of-view single-shot echo-planar imaging with tilted two-dimensional radiofrequency excitation pulses and conventional full field-of-view readout-segmented echo-planar imaging
ConclusionTilted r-DWI provides a better image quality with fewer artifacts and higher rectal lesion conspicuity than f-DWI with RS-EPI, indicating the feasibility of this MR sequence in evaluating rectal cancer in clinical practice. (Source: La Radiologia Medica)

Time-to-event overall survival prediction in glioblastoma multiforme patients using magnetic resonance imaging radiomics
ConclusionML algorithms are capable of predicting the time-to-event OS of patients using MRI-based radiomic and clinical features. MRI-based radiomics analysis in combination with clinical variables might appear promising in assisting clinicians in the survival prediction of patients with GBM. Further research is needed to establish the applicability of radiomics in the management of GBM in the clinic. (Source: La Radiologia Medica)

Abdominal compartment syndrome: what radiologist needs to know
AbstractThe intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and the abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) are life-threatening conditions with a significant rate of mortality; therefore, early detection is paramount in their optimal management. IAH is diagnosed when the intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is more than 12 mmHg. It can occur when the intra-abdominal volume increases (ileus, ascites, trauma, pancreatitis, etc.) and/or the abdominal wall compliance decreases. IAH can cause decreased venous flow, low cardiac output, renal impairment, and decreased respiratory compliance. Consequently, these complicatio ns can lead to multiple o...
