Article Abstract
Background: Bladder cancer (BCa) with variant histology (VH) is aggressive, leading to poor prognosis and resistance to neoadjuvant treatment (NAT). Preoperative identification of VH may be important for informing treatment options.
Purpose: To develop and validate a multiparametric MRI-based ensemble model to identify VH in BCa and explore its association with disease-free survival (DFS) and NAT response.
Study Type: Retrospective.
Subjects: Six hundred twenty patients with pathologically confirmed BCa (median age, 65 years [IQR: 56, 73], 145 female) from four centers who underwent preoperative MRI, were divided into a training (n = 311), internal validation (n = 54) from Center 1, and three external validation datasets (n = 85, 68, and 102, respectively). Two additional cohorts, DFS (n = 75) and NAT (n = 69) cohorts, were collected from Center 1 to evaluate prognosis.
Field Strength/sequence: 3T, non-fat suppressed T2-weighted imaging using fast spin echo, diffusion-weighted imaging using single-shot echo planar imaging, and T1-weighted dynamic contrast-enhanced sequence using 3D gradient echo sequence.
Assessment: Habitat, radiomic, clinical, clinical-radiomic based, and the VHRisk Score (VHRiS) models were constructed for evaluating VH. The prognostic value of VHRiS for DFS and pathological complete response (pCR) rate was further evaluated.
Statistical Tests: Mann-Whitney U test, t-test, ROC analysis (AUC), Kaplan-Meier curves, log-rank test, and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis.
Results: The VHRiS model demonstrated favorable accuracy (AUCs: training, 0.971; internal validation, 0.895; external validation, 0.898-0.974). Low-risk patients (VHRiS ≥ 0.863) exhibited significantly longer DFS than high-risk patients (4.20 months vs. 3.08 months) in the DFS cohort (median follow-up period: 13.19 months [IQR: 6.54, 31.91]). They also showed a higher pCR rate than high-risk patients (64% vs. 33%) in the NAT cohort.
Data Conclusions: The VHRiS model may be a robust tool for identifying VH, and may offer a potential method for risk stratification and prognosis prediction in patients with BCa.
Levels Of Evidence: 4.

Prediction of double expression status of primary CNS lymphoma using multiparametric MRI radiomics combined with habitat radiomics: a double-center study.

Department of Radiology, The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, Qingdao, 266003, Shandong, China.
Rationale And Objectives: Double expression lymphoma (DEL) is an independent high-risk prognostic factor for primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL), and its diagnosis currently relies on invasive methods. This study first integrates radiomics and habitat radiomics features to enhance preoperative DEL status prediction models via intratumoral heterogeneity analysis.
Materials And Methods: Clinical, pathological, and MRI imaging data of 139 PCNSL patients from two independent centers were collected.

Background: We aimed to develop and validate a radiomics-based machine learning nomogram using multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging to preoperatively predict substantial lymphovascular space invasion in patients with endometrial cancer.
Methods: This retrospective dual-center study included patients with histologically confirmed endometrial cancer who underwent preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The patients were divided into training and test sets.

From the Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA (Gabriel, Hines, and Prabhat); the Lenox Hill Hospital, New York, NY (Dr. Ang); and the Boston Children's Hospital, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Boston, MA (Dr. Liu and Dr. Hogue).
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a comprehensive step-wise management algorithm for Bertolotti syndrome in the pediatric population by conducting a systematic review of the current literature regarding the diagnostic evaluation, nonsurgical and surgical treatment, and outcomes.
Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted using PubMed to identify studies focused on the management of Bertolotti syndrome in the pediatric population. Data extraction of clinical presentation, management strategies, imaging, and outcomes was completed.
