Radiomics and machine learning for renal tumor subtype assessment using multiphase computed tomography in a multicenter setting
ConclusionRadiomic feature analyses can distinguish renal tumor subtypes on routinely acquired CTs, with oncocytomas being the hardest subtype to identify.Clinical relevance statementRadiomic feature analyses yield robust results for renal tumor assessment on routine CTs. Although radiologists routinely rely on arterial phase CT for renal tumor assessment and operative planning, radiomic features derived from arterial phase did not improve the accuracy of renal tumor subtype identification in our cohort.

Exploratory study of using Magnetic resonance Prognostic Imaging markers for Radiotherapy In Cervix cancer (EMPIRIC): a prospective cohort study protocol
Introduction
Radical chemoradiotherapy represents the gold standard for locally advanced cervical cancer. However, despite significant progress in improving local tumour control, distant relapse continues to impact overall survival. The development of predictive and prognostic biomarkers is consequently important to risk-stratify patients and identify populations at higher risk of poorer treatment response and survival outcomes. Exploratory study of using Magnetic resonance Prognostic Imaging markers for Radiotherapy In Cervix cancer (EMPIRIC) is a prospective exploratory cohort study, which aims to investigate the role of...

Role of Imaging in Predicting the Deep Surgical Margin in Gingivobuccal Complex Cancers: A Pilot Study
AbstractCancers arising from the gingivobuccal complex are one of the most common types of cancer in the oral cavity and are associated with poor prognosis. Among the various prognostic factors, positive surgical margin is the most important one that can be controlled by the operating surgeon. The deep surgical margins for buccal mucosa cancers is normally assessed by palpating the skin for induration and skin pinchability. The present study evaluates the role of imaging in assessing the deep surgical margin and its efficacy for skin preservation in buccal mucosa/ gingivobuccal carcinomas. The patients of gingivobuccal com...

From images to insights: a neuroradiologist ’s practical guide on white matter fiber tract anatomy and DTI patterns for pre-surgical planning
ConclusionDTI is emerging as a powerful tool for assessing microstructural changes in brain disorders, despite some challenges in standardization and interpretation. This review serves an educational purpose by providing guidance for fiber monitoring and interpretation of pathological patterns observed in clinical cases, highlighting the importance and potential pitfalls of DTI in neuroradiology and surgical planning.

Skeletal surveys in intubated patients: does UK clinical practice match national guidelines?
Introduction The investigation of suspected paediatric non-accidental injury in children under 2 years of age includes a skeletal survey, which is also indicated in older children on a case-by-case basis. In 2018, the UK national standards for the ‘radiological investigation of suspected physical abuse in children’ were updated by relevant radiology and radiography bodies and endorsed by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health.1 The standards now mandate a skeletal survey within 72 hours of presentation, ideally within 24 hours. Initial and targeted follow-up images facilitate the crucial timing of an...

Predictors of acute post-thrombectomy intracranial hemorrhage expansion in anterior circulation infarcts
CONCLUSION: Expansion of post-MT ICH on 24-h interval MRI relative to immediate post-thrombectomy DEHCT is significantly associated with baseline anticoagulant usage and petechial hemorrhage inside the infarct margins or presence of intraparenchymal hematoma (ECASS-II HI2/PH1/PH2).PMID:38629465 | DOI:10.1177/15910199241247884 (Source: Interventional Neuroradiology)
