OBJECTIVES: The recently proposed standardized reporting and data system for somatostatin receptor (SSTR)-targeted PET/CT SSTR-RADS 1.0 showed promising first results in the assessment of diagnosis and treatment planning with peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) in neuroendocrine tumors (NET). This study aimed to determine the intra- and interreader agreement of SSTR-RADS 1.0. METHODS: SSTR-PET/CT scans of 100 patients were independently evaluated by 4 readers with different levels of expertise according to the SSTR-RADS 1...

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the 5-year follow-up results of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for benign thyroid nodules (BTNs), and construct pre- and postablation nomogram models to predict regrowth in BTNs undergoing RFA. METHODS: According to the occurrence of regrowth, BTNs were divided into two subgroups, the regrowth group and the nonregrowth group, and the variables were compared between these two subgroups. Then, univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyzes were utilized to filter the independent prognostic factors of regrowth, which then were introduced into the pre- and postablation prognostic nomograms, respectively...

OBJECTIVES: To find simple imaging-based features on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) that are associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in takotsubo syndrome (TTS). METHODS: Patients with TTS referred for CMR between 2007 and 2021 were retrospectively evaluated. Besides standard CMR analysis, commonly known complications of TTS based on expert knowledge were assessed and summarised via a newly developed PE2 RT score (one point each for pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, right ventricular involvement, and ventricular thrombus)...

OBJECTIVE: Reproducibility problems are a known limitation of radiomics. The segmentation of the target lesion plays a critical role in texture analysis variability. This study's aim was to compare the interobserver reliability of manual 2D vs. 3D lung lesion segmentation with and without pre-definition of the volume using a threshold of - 50 HU. METHODS: Seventy-five patients with histopathologically proven lung lesions (15 patients each with adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, small cell lung cancer, carcinoid, and organizing pneumonia) who underwent an unenhanced CT scan of the chest were included...

OBJECTIVES: Whether preoperative localisation is necessary and valuable for the microwave ablation (MWA) of small pulmonary lesions with ground-glass opacity (GGO) remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the role of the Chiba needle and lipiodol localisation techniques in facilitating MWA and biopsy. METHODS: This retrospective before-after study included patients with GGOs who underwent conventional MWA and biopsy treatment in our hospital between January 2018 and December 2019 (group A) or who underwent the Chiba needle and lipiodol localisation treatment before MWA and biopsy between January 2020 and December 2020 (group B)...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the image quality and lesion conspicuity of a deep-learning-based contrast-boosting (DL-CB) algorithm on double-low-dose (DLD) CT of simultaneous reduction of radiation and contrast doses in participants at high-risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS: Participants were recruited and underwent four-phase dynamic CT (NCT04722120). They were randomly assigned to either standard-dose (SD) or DLD protocol. All CT images were initially reconstructed using iterative reconstruction, and the images of the DLD protocol were further processed using the DL-CB algorithm (DLD-DL)...

OBJECTIVES: To develop and validate risk scoring systems using gadoxetic acid-enhanced liver MRI features and clinical factors that predict recurrence-free survival (RFS) of a single hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS: Consecutive 295 patients with treatment-naïve single HCC who underwent curative surgery were retrospectively enrolled from two centers. Cox proportional hazard models developed risk scoring systems whose discriminatory powers were validated using external data and compared to the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) or American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging systems using Harrell's C-index...

OBJECTIVES: Health workers exposed to ionizing radiation account for  + 50% of workers exposed to man-made radiation in France. Over the last decade, the use of radiation in medicine has increased due to the introduction of new practices. The EXposition des Professionnels de santE aux RayonnemenTs ioniSants study aims to evaluate and characterize the trends in radiation exposure of health workers in France between 2009 and 2019. METHODS: This retrospective study includes all health workers with at least one dosimetric record in the system for occupational dosimetry registration (Système d'information de la surveillance de l'exposition aux rayonnements ionisants) database for each of the years 2009, 2014, and 2019, in the hospitals included in the study...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prognostic value of deep learning (DL)-driven CT fibrosis quantification in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). METHODS: Patients diagnosed with IPF who underwent nonenhanced chest CT and spirometry between 2005 and 2009 were retrospectively collected.

OBJECTIVES: T2-weighted (w) fat sat (fs) sequences, which are important in spine MRI, require a significant amount of scan time. Generative adversarial networks (GANs) can generate synthetic T2-w fs images. We evaluated the potential of synthetic T2-w fs images by comparing them to their true counterpart regarding image and fat saturation quality, and diagnostic agreement in a heterogenous, multicenter dataset. METHODS: A GAN was used to synthesize T2-w fs from T1- and non-fs T2-w...

• Characterisation and quantification of tissue fat on MRI can be used to provide information on disease processes. • Fat in bone and lymph nodes up until recently have not been exploited for diagnostic purposes or response monitoring in prostate cancer. • Fat imaging on MRI using Dixon/PDFF sequences has the potential to add clinical value in the future but prospective data is needed.
