Differentiation of bone metastases from benign red marrow depositions: utilizing qualitative and quantitative analysis of conventional T1-weighted imaging and fat-suppressed T2-weighted imaging
CONCLUSIONS: The quantitative analysis of T2 FS facilitates distinguishing between BMs and BRMs, regardless of whether the reference was NM or NBM.ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Quantitative parameters derived from T2 FS facilitate differentiation of BMs BRMs without additional scans.

Impact of CT and MRI in the diagnostic workup of malignant triton tumour-a monocentric analysis and review of the literature
CONCLUSIONS: MTTs show characteristic features on CT and MRI. However, these do not allow a reliable differentiation between MTTs and other MPNSTs based on imaging alone. Therefore, additional histopathological analysis is required.ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: This largest published systematic analysis on MTT imaging revealed typical but unspecific imaging features that do not allow a reliable, imaging-based differentiation between MTTs and other MPNSTs. Hence, additional histopathological analysis remains essential.PMID:38308031 | DOI:10.1093/bjr/tqad035 (Source: The British Journal of Radiology)

Diagnostic value of PET imaging in clinically unresponsive patients
Br J Radiol. 2024 Feb 2;97(1154):283-291. doi: 10.1093/bjr/tqad040.ABSTRACTRapid advancements in the critical care management of acute brain injuries have facilitated the survival of numerous patients who may have otherwise succumbed to their injuries. The probability of conscious recovery hinges on the extent of structural brain damage and the level of metabolic and functional cerebral impairment, which remain challenging to assess via laboratory, clinical, or functional tests. Current research settings and guidelines highlight the potential value of fluorodeoxyglucose-PET (FDG-PET) for diagnostic and prognostic purposes,...

The role of epicardial fat radiomic profiles for atrial fibrillation identification and recurrence risk with coronary CT angiography
CONCLUSIONS: FRP demonstrated potential in identifying AF, distinguishing AF types, and predicting AF recurrence risk after ablation. FRP from peri-PV fat depot exhibited a strong correlation with AF. Therefore, evaluating epicardial fat using FRP was a promising approach to enhance AF clinical management.ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: The role of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) in AF had been confirmed, we focussed on the relationship between EAT around pulmonary arteries and LAA in AF which was still unknown. Meanwhile, we used the FRP to excavate more information of EAT in AF.PMID:38308034 | DOI:10.1093/bjr/tqad046 (Source: The...

Can conventional magnetic resonance imaging at presentation predict chemoresistance in osteosarcoma?
CONCLUSIONS: Findings on baseline MRI could help predicting chemoresistant osteosarcoma with tumour size being the strongest predictor.ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Osteosarcomas with large size, large cross-sectional diameter, large area of necrosis, presence of intra-articular extension, and extensive peritumoural soft tissue oedema were most likely to have a poor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.PMID:38308035 | DOI:10.1093/bjr/tqad047 (Source: The British Journal of Radiology)

An evaluation of CT radiation doses within the Yorkshire Lung Screening Trial
CONCLUSIONS: Low radiation doses can be achieved across a typical lung screening cohort using scan protocols that have been shown to deliver high levels of image quality. The observed dose levels may be considered as typical values for lung screening scans on similar types of scanners for an equivalent participant cohort.ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Presentation of typical radiation dose levels for CT lung screening examinations in a large UK trial. Effective radiation doses can be of the order of 1 mSv for standard sized participants. Lifetime attributable cancer risks resulting from a single low-dose CT scan did not exceed 0.0...

Metabolic syndrome: imaging features and clinical outcomes
Br J Radiol. 2024 Feb 2;97(1154):292-305. doi: 10.1093/bjr/tqad044.ABSTRACTMetabolic syndrome, which affects around a quarter of adults worldwide, is a group of metabolic abnormalities characterized mainly by insulin resistance and central adiposity. It is strongly correlated with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Early identification of the changes induced by metabolic syndrome in target organs and timely intervention (eg, weight reduction) can decrease morbidity and mortality. Imaging can monitor the main components of metabolic syndrome and identify early the development and progression of its sequelae in various ...
