The effectiveness and precision of disease diagnosis and treatment have increased, thanks to developments in clinical imaging over the past few decades. Science is developing and progressing steadily in imaging modalities, and effective outcomes are starting to show up as a result of the shorter scanning periods needed as well as the higher-resolution images generated. The choice of one clinical device over another is influenced by technical disparities among the equipment, such as detection medium, shorter scan time, patient comfort, cost-effectiveness, accessibility, greater sensitivity and specificity, and spatial resolution...

PURPOSE: In this preliminary study, we aimed to evaluate the potential of the generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) series for generating radiology reports from concise imaging findings and compare its performance with radiologist-generated reports. METHODS: This retrospective study involved 28 patients who underwent computed tomography (CT) scans and had a diagnosed disease with typical imaging findings. Radiology reports were generated using GPT-2, GPT-3.5, and GPT-4 based on the patient's age, gender, disease site, and imaging findings...

PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of inflammation-based indexes in predicting radiation pneumonitis (RP) and prognosis in lung tumor patients treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The data of one hundred and seventy-two patients with 272 lung lesions from November 2015 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Pretreatment hematological indexes including platelet count, neutrophil count, and lymphocyte count were collected before treatment...

Pleural mesothelioma (PM) is an aggressive disease that has a strong causal relationship with asbestos exposure and represents a major challenge from both a diagnostic and therapeutic viewpoint. Despite recent improvements in patient care, PM typically carries a poor outcome, especially in advanced stages. Therefore, a timely and effective diagnosis taking advantage of currently available imaging techniques is essential to perform an accurate staging and dictate the most appropriate treatment strategy. Our aim is to provide a brief, but exhaustive and up-to-date overview of the role of multimodal medical imaging in the management of PM...

Recently, computed tomography with photon-counting detector (PCD-CT) has been developed to enable high-resolution imaging at a lower radiation dose. PCD-CT employs a photon-counting detector that can measure the number of incident X-ray photons and their energy. The newly released PCD-CT (NAEOTOM Alpha, Siemens Healthineers, Forchheim, Germany) has been in clinical use at our institution since December 2022. The PCD-CT offers several advantages over current state-of-the-art energy-integrating detector CT (EID-CT)...

The treatment of a patient with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is best monitored with standardized and validated tools to measure joint changes over time. Treatment approaches are best indicated if the clinicians are aware of the structural status of the joint at a given time, especially in anatomically deep joints for which clinical assessment is limited. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is of utmost importance for assessment of deep joints and extra-articular soft tissue of the entire body for which ultrasound may be suboptimal...

Dynamic chest radiography (DCR) is a novel functional radiographic imaging technique that can be used to visualize pulmonary perfusion without using contrast media. Although it has many advantages and clinical utility, most radiologists are unfamiliar with this technique because of its novelty. This review aims to (1) explain the basic principles of lung perfusion assessment using DCR, (2) discuss the advantages of DCR over other imaging modalities, and (3) review multiple specific clinical applications of DCR for pulmonary vascular diseases and compare them with other imaging modalities...

PURPOSE: Imaging diagnosis of stapes fixation (SF) is challenging owing to a lack of definite evidence. We developed a comprehensive machine learning (ML) model to identify SF on ultra-high-resolution CT. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively enrolled 109 participants (143 ears) and divided them into the training set (115 ears) and test set (28 ears). Stapes mobility (SF or non-SF) was determined by surgical inspection. In the ML analysis, rectangular regions of interest were placed on consecutive axial slices in the training set...

In this review, we address the issue of fairness in the clinical integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in the medical field. As the clinical adoption of deep learning algorithms, a subfield of AI, progresses, concerns have arisen regarding the impact of AI biases and discrimination on patient health. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of concerns associated with AI fairness; discuss strategies to mitigate AI biases; and emphasize the need for cooperation among physicians, AI researchers, AI developers, policymakers, and patients to ensure equitable AI integration...

Machine learning (ML) analyses using 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18 F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) radiomics features have been applied in the field of oncology. The current review aimed to summarize the current clinical articles about 18 F-FDG PET/CT radiomics-based ML analyses to solve issues in classifying or constructing prediction models for several types of tumors. In these studies, lung and mediastinal tumors were the most commonly evaluated lesions, followed by lymphatic, abdominal, head and neck, breast, gynecological, and other types of tumors...

Fetal MRI is performed to evaluate the brain in cases where an abnormality is detected by ultrasonography (US). Fetal MRI has higher contrast resolution than US. Because the fetal brain is dynamic structure, it is important to know the normal appearance of the brain at different gestational age to be better able to identify abnormalities using MRI. Fast imaging sequences to minimize artifact from fetal motion are required. The main sequences used are ultrafast T2 weighted imaging. Similar to pediatric neuroimaging, images are acquired in the axial, sagittal, and coronal planes...
