INTRODUCTION: Visual amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) interpretation is standard for detecting cerebral amyloid-β but is limited by subjectivity, inter-reader variability, and tracer heterogeneity. We evaluated the impact of adjunctive quantitative analysis in real-w...
SFCE guidelines: anthracycline-related heart failure affects ~10% of pediatric leukemia patients, especially at cumulative doses >300 mg/m² doxorubicin-equivalent. Dexrazoxane now recommended at that threshold. Global longitudinal strain preferred over ejection fraction for subc…
Single-center RCT: [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT-guided robotic biopsy detected prostate cancer in 97.1% of PI-RADS 4–5 men vs 81.0% with mpMRI cognitive-fusion TRUS biopsy (P<0.05), and had far fewer complications (10.8% vs 51.4%, P<0.01).
In 982 biopsy patients, NLR ≥2.11 independently predicted clinically significant prostate cancer (OR 15.9; 95% CI 2.5–102.6), but adding SII+NLR to a clinical model raised AUC only from 0.795 to 0.816 in PI-RADS 3 patients (p=0.134, non-significant). Retrospective; wide CIs warr…
Retrospective single-center study (n=328) finds bpMRI + PI-RADS 2.1 achieves 92% sensitivity and 49% specificity for clinically significant prostate cancer (Gleason ≥7), with cancer detection rates of 31%, 54%, and 96% for PI-RADS 3, 4, and 5 — consistent with international data.
ChatGPT-4o scored 74.9% on 183 multimodal critical care board questions vs. 71.1% for pooled clinicians (p=0.03), but 33.3% of its responses were flagged for potential clinical harm, driven largely by poor image interpretation (61.7% correct) and flawed reasoning.
