Diagnostic Radiology
This study reveals how monoparametric MRI combined with PSA levels matches the performance of more complex protocols in detecting clinically significant prostate cancer, potentially revolutionizing screening efficiency.
A novel machine learning model integrating clinical data, ultrasound features, and radiofrequency parameters achieves remarkable accuracy in predicting axillary lymph node metastasis, aiming to transform preoperative planning.
An innovative approach using longitudinal changes in CT-radiomic features and systemic inflammatory indices outperforms single time-point assessment in predicting survival for advanced NSCLC patients on immunotherapy.
This study demonstrates that CAD phenotypes defined by combined anatomical and functional imaging significantly influence lipid-lowering medication use and long-term outcomes, highlighting the crucial role of advanced imaging in guiding personalized treatment strategies.
Interventional Radiology
A GPT-4 AI model generates more readable and understandable patient instructions for common IR procedures compared to traditional resources, with the ability to revolutionize patient education in interventional radiology.
Tissue Radiologic and Pathologic Response to Biphasic Pulsed Electric Field Technology in a Porcine Model Open Access
An innovative biphasic pulsed electric field technology shows promise for safe and predictable soft tissue ablation with preservation of critical structures in a porcine model, offering a possible game-changer in interventional oncology.
Transcatheter arterial embolization using imipenem/cilastatin sodium demonstrates significant symptom improvement in patients with refractory chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome, opening new avenues for interventional management of this challenging condition.
Irreversible electroporation proves to be safe and viable for treating unresectable colorectal liver metastases near critical structures, with promising short-term outcomes despite challenges in local tumor progression.
AI and Tech
Revolutionary deep learning super-resolution reconstruction dramatically reduces brain DWI acquisition time while also improving image quality and diagnostic accuracy.
A denoising technique achieves a 29% reduction in scan time without compromising image quality, a feasible solution for transforming clinical MRI workflows.
Large-scale study reveals AI can replace one or both human readers in mammography screening, maintaining accuracy while significantly reducing workload.
