Article Abstract
Background: The accurate evaluation of tumor response after locoregional therapy is crucial for adjusting therapeutic strategy and guiding individualized follow-up.
Purpose: To determine the inter-reader agreement of the LR-TR algorithm for hepatocellular carcinoma treated with locoregional therapy among radiologists with different seniority.
Material And Methods: A total of 275 treated observations on 249 MRI scans from 99 patients were retrospectively collected. Three readers of different seniorities (senior, intermediate, and junior with 10, 6, and 2 years of experience in hepatic imaging, respectively) analyzed the presence or absence of features (arterial-phase hyperenhancement and washout) and evaluated LR-TR category.
Results: There were substantial inter-reader agreements for overall LR-TR categorization (kappa = 0.704), LR-TR viable (kappa = 0.715), and LR-TR non-viable (kappa = 0.737), but fair inter-reader agreement for LR-TR equivocal (kappa = 0.231) among three readers. The inter-reader agreement was substantial for arterial-phase hyperenhancement (kappa = 0.725), but moderate for washout (kappa = 0.443) among three readers. The inter-reader agreements between two readers were substantial for overall LR-TR categorization (kappa = 0.734, 0.727, 0.652), LR-TR viable (kappa = 0.719, 0.752, 0.678), and LR-TR non-viable (kappa = 0.758, 0.760, 0.694), which were at the same level as the inter-reader agreements among three readers. In addition, the inter-reader agreements between two readers were substantial for arterial-phase hyperenhancement (kappa = 0.733, 0.766, 0.678), but moderate for washout (kappa = 0.473, 0.422, 0.446), which were at the same level as the inter-reader agreements among three readers.
Conclusion: LR-TR algorithm demonstrated overall substantial inter-reader agreement among radiologists with different seniority.

Background And Objective: Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) values and Total Diffusion Volume (TDV) from Whole-body diffusion-weighted MRI (WB-DWI) are recognised cancer imaging biomarkers. However, manual disease delineation for ADC and TDV measurements is unfeasible in clinical practice, demanding automation. As a first step, we propose an algorithm to generate fast and reproducible probability maps of the skeleton, adjacent internal organs (liver, spleen, urinary bladder, and kidneys), and spinal canal.

Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are commonly used to assess femoral and tibial torsion. While CT offers high spatial resolution, it involves ionizing radiation. MRI avoids radiation but requires multiple sequences and extended acquisition time.

Objective: To evaluate multiparametric MRI features of pediatric soft-tissue sarcomas, comparing pre-treatment and post-treatment features, and assessing correlation with clinical outcomes.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective cohort study, including pediatric patients (≤ 18 years) with histologically-confirmed soft-tissue sarcomas who underwent MRI with anatomic and functional sequences in consecutive series. Post-treatment MRI was available for a subset, and features were recorded by two readers.
Introduction: Precise prediction of pathological complete response (pCR) following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) in rectal cancer may identify candidates for non-operative management. The optimal selection of diagnostic tools is therefore of major clinical importance.
Methods: Clinical, laboratory, endoscopic and radiological data of patients with rectal cancer treated with nCRT and surgery at an academic medical center from 2010 to 2020 were retrospectively collected.
