Evaluating CT Dose Variation Across Scanner Technologies: Implications for Compliance with New CMS CT Radiation Dose Measure
In 2025, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services introduced a computed tomography (CT) dose measure for pay-for-performance programs. Hospitals employ diverse scanner fleets, but the impact of scanner technologies on dose benchmarking remains unclear. This study evaluates dose variation across scanner models and its benchmarking implications.
Development of a Nomogram for Predicting Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Genotypes in Children Using Advanced Diffusion MRI and Clinical Data
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a multisystem genetic disorder. Focusing on central nervous system manifestations, this study developed an imaging-clinical model combining advanced diffusion MRI parameters with neurological clinical features to distinguish TSC1 vs. TSC2 genotypes.
Multiparametric MRI-based Interpretable Machine Learning Radiomics Model for Distinguishing Between Luminal and Non-luminal Tumors in Breast Cancer: A Multicenter Study
To construct and validate an interpretable machine learning (ML) radiomics model derived from multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images to differentiate between luminal and non-luminal breast cancer (BC) subtypes.
Generating Synthetic T2*-Weighted Gradient Echo Images of the Knee with an Open-source Deep Learning Model
Routine knee MRI protocols for 1.5 T and 3 T scanners, do not include T2*-w gradient echo (T2*W) images, which are useful in several clinical scenarios such as the assessment of cartilage, synovial blooming (deposition of hemosiderin), chondrocalcinosis and the evaluation of the physis in pediatric patients. Herein, we aimed to develop an open-source deep learning model that creates synthetic T2*W images of the knee using fat-suppressed intermediate-weighted images.
Quantification of Intratumoral Heterogeneity Based on Habitat Analysis for Preoperative Assessment of Lymphovascular Invasion in Colorectal Cancer
Preoperative knowledge of the status of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) status in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients can provide valuable information for choosing appropriate treatment strategies. This study aimed to explore the value of heterogeneity features derived from the habitat analysis of F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) images in predicting LVI.
Magnetic Resonance Elastography Derived Stiffness to Predict Postoperative Pancreatic Fistula After Partial Pancreatectomy
To investigate the magnetic resonance elastography (MRE)-derived pancreatic stiffness for predicting the occurrence of clinically relative postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) in patients with partial pancreatectomy, and establish a predictive model for POPF before surgery.

Missed Cancers at Prostate MRI: Can Growth Pattern Analysis on Digital Pathology Improve Detection?
Deep Learning and Radiomics Discrimination of Coronary Chronic Total Occlusion and Subtotal Occlusion using CTA
Coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) and subtotal occlusion (STO) pose diagnostic challenges, differing in treatment strategies. Artificial intelligence and radiomics are promising tools for accurate discrimination. This study aimed to develop deep learning (DL) and radiomics models using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) to differentiate CTO from STO lesions and compare their performance with that of the conventional method.
Performance of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Ultrasound for Identifying the Different Degrees of Hepatic Steatosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
MRI proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF), controlled attenuation parameters (CAP), and attenuation coefficients (AC) are capable of steatosis characterization and may be useful as noninvasive alternatives for diagnosing hepatic steatosis.

Non-invasive Imaging Findings of Wild-type Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy in Women: A Retrospective Study
Wild-type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt-CM) predominantly affects males; however, female patients can also develop this condition. This study assessed the non-invasive imaging features of ATTRwt-CM in female patients.
Multivariate Classification of Adolescent Major Depressive Disorder Using Whole-brain Functional Connectivity
Adolescent major depressive disorder (MDD) is a serious mental health condition that has been linked to abnormal functional connectivity (FC) patterns within the brain. However, whether FC could be used as a potential biomarker for diagnosis of adolescent MDD is still unclear. The aim of our study was to investigate the potential diagnostic value of whole-brain FC in adolescent MDD.
