Article Abstract
Background: Recurrent pericarditis affects up to 30% of patients after an initial episode, with the majority of recurring episodes occurring within 18 months. Younger age, subacute presentations, and initial treatment with steroids rather than colchicine are risk factors. Incorporation of multimodality imaging is essential in the diagnosis and management of recurrent pericarditis, particularly in complex cases.
Case Summary: A 32-year-old man was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and recurrent acute pericarditis complicated by constriction. Management included multimodality imaging, colchicine, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), strategic dosing of steroids, and weaning based on chemotherapy and clinical response. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) guided treatment adjustments, demonstrating constrictive physiology and status of inflammation.
Discussion: This case highlights the role of multimodality imaging in the diagnosis and management of recurrent pericarditis in the setting of acute leukemia, enabling detailed assessment of inflammation and guiding treatment. Emerging therapies, such as interleukin (IL)-1 blockers, offer promising options for refractory cases, although their role in malignancy requires further study.

Immunoelectron Microscopy (IEM) is a technique that combines specific immunolabeling with high-resolution electron microscopic imaging to achieve precise spatial localization of biomolecules at the subcellular scale (< 10 nm) by using high-electron-density markers such as colloidal gold and quantum dots. As a core tool for analyzing the distribution of proteins, organelle interactions, and localization of disease pathology markers, it has irreplaceable value, especially in synapse research, pathogen-host interaction mechanism, and tumor microenvironment analysis. According to the differences in labeling sequence and sample processing, the IEM technology system can be divided into two categories: the first is pre-embedding labeling, which optimizes the labeling efficiency through the pre-exposure of antigenic epitopes and is especially suitable for the detection of low-abundance and sensitive antigens; the second is post-embedding labeling, which relies on the low-temperature resin embedding (e.

Despite the rapid growth of Food and Drug Administration-cleared artificial intelligence (AI)- and machine learning-enabled medical devices for use in radiology, current tools remain limited in scope, often focusing on narrow tasks and lacking the ability to comprehensively assist radiologists. These narrow AI solutions face limitations in financial sustainability, operational efficiency, and clinical utility, hindering widespread adoption and constraining their long-term value in radiology practice. Recent advances in generative and multimodal AI have expanded the scope of image interpretation, prompting discussions on the development of generalist medical AI.

Background: Point-of-care ultrasonography has become a valuable tool for assessing diaphragmatic function in critically ill patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation. However, conventional diaphragm ultrasound assessment remains highly operator-dependent and subjective. Previous research introduced automatic measurement of diaphragmatic excursion and velocity using 2D speckle-tracking technology.

Aims: Cardiac tumors are aggressive and asymptomatic in early stages, causing late diagnosis and locoregional metastasis. Currently, the standard of care uses gadolinium-based contrast agents for MRI, and the associated hypersensitivity reactions are a significant concern, such as gadolinium deposition disease. In addition, the proximity of cardiac lesions closer to vital structures complicates surgical interventions.
