AI model detects esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions on noncontrast chest CT

An AI model (EAGLE) analyzing noncontrast chest CT achieved 90.0% sensitivity for esophageal cancer and 98.5% specificity in external multicenter testing (11,466 patients), and 99.94% specificity in low-dose screening. Could enable opportunistic esophageal cancer screening.

CECT-based 2PI system predicts HCC recurrence risk in dual-validation study

A random survival forest model using a CECT-based 2PI imaging score predicted postoperative recurrence in solitary HCC (≤5 cm) with C-indexes of 0.76 (training), 0.69 (internal test), and 0.68 (external test). The system stratified risk using a threshold of ≥19.

Current evidence and future role of robot-assisted CT-guided interventions

Robot-assisted CT interventions improve targeting precision, reduce needle adjustments and operator radiation exposure in complex procedures (liver, lung, kidney, MSK). Evidence remains at IDEAL stages 1-2b; not yet standard of care. Emerging randomised trials may change that.

Frontal perivascular spaces shrink over three years after ischaemic stroke

Stroke survivors showed significant reductions in frontal lobe perivascular space volume (exp(β)=0.93, 95% CI 0.82-0.99) and cluster count (exp(β)=0.91, 95% CI 0.83-1) over 36 months vs. controls, challenging the view that PVS enlargement marks cerebrovascular disease burden.

Progesterone blurs emotional-control brain patterns on MRI, tied to mood

Higher progesterone levels hamper the brain's ability to distinguish emotional-control tasks on functional MRI, accounting for 7% of mood variation. This mechanism, shown in the lateral frontal pole, may explain menstrual mood fluctuations.

Deep learning model stages rectal cancer without manual segmentation on MRI

MST-Net, a segmentation-free deep learning model, achieved AUC 0.95 (accuracy 90%) for T2 vs T3 rectal cancer staging on preoperative T2-weighted MRI, outperforming junior radiologists (69%) and matching senior (85%). External validation AUC 0.85 (accuracy 79%).
