Article Abstract

The World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (WFUMB) endorsed the development of this document on multiparametric ultrasound. Part 1 is an update to the WFUMB Liver Elastography Guidelines Update released in 2018 and provides new evidence on the role of ultrasound elastography in chronic liver disease. The recommendations in this update were made and graded using the Oxford classification, including level of evidence (LoE), grade of recommendation (GoR) and proportion of agreement (Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine [OCEBM] 2009). The guidelines are clinically oriented, and the role of shear wave elastography in both fibrosis staging and prognostication in different etiologies of liver disease is discussed, highlighting advantages and limitations. A comprehensive section is devoted to the assessment of portal hypertension, with specific recommendations for the interpretation of liver and spleen stiffness measurements in this setting.

Rationale And Objectives: This study systematically evaluates the diagnostic performance of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven and conventional radiomics models in detecting muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) through meta-analytical approaches. Furthermore, it investigates their potential synergistic value with the Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) and assesses clinical translation prospects.

Methods: This study adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.

Background: Accurate preoperative differentiation of parotid gland tumors (PGTs) is essential for facial nerve preservation. This study evaluates a novel, real-time multiparametric ultrasound (mpUS) approach combining B-mode, shear wave elastography (SWE), and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), based on qualitative image interpretation.

Methods: Eighty-nine patients with 91 PGTs underwent mpUS prior to surgery or ultrasound-guided biopsy.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is an established non-invasive tool for the assessment of cardiovascular diseases, which are the leading cause of death globally. CMR provides dynamic and static multi-contrast and multi-parametric images, including cine for functional evaluation, contrast-enhanced imaging and parametric mapping for tissue characterization, and MR angiography for the assessment of the aortic, coronary and pulmonary circulation. However, clinical CMR imaging sequences still have some limitations such as the requirement for multiple breath-holds, incomplete spatial coverage, complex planning and acquisition, low scan efficiency and long scan times.

Assessing the diagnostic accuracy of unilateral systematic biopsy combined with targeted biopsy.

Front Oncol

Department of Urology, Institute of Urology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.

Background: To evaluate unilateral systematic biopsy (SB) combined with targeted biopsy (TB) and assess its diagnostic accuracy in a real-world, single-centre setting.

Methods: Patients with ≥1 MRI lesion who underwent both transperineal 12-core and 3-core TB were enrolled in this study. Detection rates for total prostate cancer (PCa) and clinically significant PCa (csPCa) were compared between TB, unilateral SB+TB, and SB+TB.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the potential of 68Ga-NODAGA-SNA006 PET/CT imaging as a noninvasive method for assessing immune cell infiltration and predicting treatment response in lung cancer patients undergoing immunotherapy.

Patients And Methods: A prospective study enrolled 8 patients with histologically confirmed lung cancer who received first-line chemotherapy combined with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy. 68Ga-SNA006 PET/CT imaging was performed before treatment.
