PURPOSE: Microvascular invasion (MVI) is a common complication of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) surgery, which is an important predictor of reduced surgical prognosis. This study aimed to develop a fully automated diagnostic model to predict pre-surgical MVI based on four-phase dynamic CT images. METHODS: A total of 140 patients with HCC from two centers were retrospectively included (training set, n = 98; testing set, n = 42). All CT phases were aligned to the portal venous phase, and were then used to train a deep-learning model for liver tumor segmentation...

Gallstone-related disease comprises a spectrum of conditions resulting from biliary stone formation, leading to obstruction and inflammatory complications. These can significantly impact patient quality of life and carry high morbidity if not accurately detected. Appropriate imaging is essential for evaluating the extent of gallstone disease and assuring appropriate clinical management. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques (including Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) are increasingly used for diagnosis of gallstone disease and its complications and provide high contrast resolution and facilitate tissue-level assessment of gallstone disease processes...

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of MRI-based radiomics and clinical models in predicting MTM-HCC. Additionally, to investigate the ability of the radiomics model designed for MTM-HCC identification in predicting disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with HCC. METHODS: A total of 336 patients who underwent oncological resection for HCC between June 2007 and March 2021 were included. 127 patients in Cohort1 were used for MTM-HCC identification, and 209 patients in Cohort2 for prognostic analyses...

BACKGROUND: Urinary stones are frequently encountered in urology and are typically identified using non-contrast CT scans. Dual-energy CT (DECT) is a valuable imaging technique that produces material-specific images and allows for precise assessment of stone composition by estimating the effective atomic number (Zeff ), a capability not achievable with the conventional single-energy CT's attenuation measurement method. PURPOSE: To investigate the diagnostic performance and image quality of dual-layer detector DECT (dlDECT) in characterizing urinary stones in patients of different sizes...

PURPOSE: To evaluate the accuracy with which the iceball predicts the realized ablation zone in patients undergoing cryoablation of the liver. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Continuous patients who underwent cryoablation of primary or secondary malignancies of the liver were retrospectively reviewed.

PURPOSE: The shift from adjuvant to neoadjuvant treatment in colon cancer demands the radiological selection of patients for systemic therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the CT-based TNM stage and high-risk features, including extramural venous invasion (EMVI) and tumour deposits, in the identification of patients with histopathological advanced disease, currently considered for neoadjuvant treatment (T3-4 disease). METHODS: All consecutive patients surgically treated for non-metastatic colon cancer between January 2018 and January 2020 in a referral centre for colorectal cancer were identified retrospectively...

With advancements in cancer treatment, the survival rates for many malignancies have increased. However, both the primary tumors and the treatments themselves can give rise to various complications. Acute symptoms in oncology patients require prompt attention. Abdominopelvic oncologic emergencies can be classified into four distinct categories: vascular, bowel, hepatopancreatobiliary, and bone-related complications. Radiologists need to be familiar with these complications to ensure timely diagnosis, which ultimately enhances patient outcomes...

PURPOSE: Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is used to measure liver stiffness with gradient-recalled echo (GRE)-based and spin-echo echo planar imaging (SE-EPI)-based sequences. We compared the liver stiffness (LS) values of the two sequences on a 1.5-T MR imaging scanner. METHODS: This is a retrospective study. An MRE imaging section was obtained from a horizontal section of the liver. Region of interest was drawn on the elastogram, and the mean LS and pixel values were measured and compared...

OBJECTIVE: To determine the reliability of an MRI-based qualitative kidney imaging surveillance scoring system (KISSS) and assess which imaging features predict growth rate (GR) of renal tumors in patients with VHL. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We identified 55 patients with VHL with 128 renal tumors who underwent intervention from 2015 to 2020 at the National Cancer Institute. All patients had 2 preoperative MRIs at least 3 months apart. Two fellowship-trained radiologists scored each tumor on location and MR-sequence-specific imaging parameters from the earlier MRI...

PURPOSE: To quantitatively and qualitatively compare the degree of iodine removal in the collecting system from PCCT urographic phase-derived virtual noncontrast (VNC) images obtained at 140 kV versus 120 kV. METHODS: A retrospective PACS search identified adult patients (>18 years) who underwent a PCCT urogram for hematuria from 4/2022 to 4/2023 with available urographic phase-derived VNC images in PACS. Tube voltage (120 kV, 140 kV), body mass index, CTDIvol, dose length product (DLP), and size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) were recorded...

BACKGROUND: Microsatellite instability (MSI) is detected in approximately 15% of colorectal carcinoma (CRC) patients, which has emerged as a predictor of patient response to adjuvant chemotherapy. Rectal carcinoma (RC) is the most common type of CRC. Therefore, prediction of MSI status of RC is significant for personalized medication. The purpose of this article was to develop an integrative model that combines clinical characteristics and computed tomography-based (CT-based) tumoral/peritumoral radiomics to predict the MSI status in RC...

PURPOSE: Increasing studies have focused on neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) in rectal cancer. However, few studies explored the differences in radiographic variation between patients treated with NCT and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT). METHODS: Stage II/III rectal cancer patients from March 2016 to December 2019 meeting the criteria treated with NCRT or NCT were included. MRI features, including tumor location, longitudinal length, DWI signal, MRI tumor regression grade (mrTRG), and radiomic texture features, before and after neoadjuvant treatments were reviewed...
