This review analyzes global radiation doses in CAD diagnostic imaging based on the INCAPS 4 study. It highlights significant disparities across modalities and regions, revealing that patients in low-income countries and those undergoing CCT
The TRAIN-3 study reveals that using MRI to monitor treatment response allows for shorter chemotherapy durations in HER2-positive breast cancer patients, achieving high 3-year event-free survival while significantly reducing toxicity and im
This review analyzes the PORTAL study’s nomogram for predicting ADT-free survival in oligorecurrent prostate cancer, synthesizing evidence on PSMA PET-guided SBRT and the clinical utility of risk-based patient selection.
The ELAN-RT trial demonstrates that hypofractionated split-course radiotherapy is non-inferior to standard fractionation for 6-month locoregional response in frail older patients, providing a less toxic alternative, though standard therapy
The MASAI trial demonstrates that AI-supported mammography screening achieves higher sensitivity and non-inferior interval cancer rates compared to standard double reading, while maintaining specificity and significantly reducing radiologis
A prespecified secondary analysis of the J-START trial reveals that adding ultrasonography to mammography for women aged 40-49 significantly reduces the long-term cumulative incidence of advanced breast cancer, particularly in populations w
A Bayesian adaptive randomized clinical trial reveals that a digital imagery-competing task intervention (ICTI) significantly reduces the frequency of intrusive memories and PTSD symptoms among healthcare workers exposed to pandemic-related
This study highlights ultrasound viscoelastic imaging as a high-performance, noninvasive tool for diagnosing Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) in children, achieving a combined AUC of 0.95 and providing critical insights into renal
A substudy of the PROMISE trial demonstrates that quantitative plaque measures on CCTA—specifically total and noncalcified plaque burden—independently predict major adverse cardiovascular events in symptomatic outpatients, offering a precis
A Phase 3 randomized trial reveals that stereotactic radiation significantly outperforms hippocampal-avoidance whole brain radiation in reducing symptom severity and interference with daily living for patients with 5 to 20 brain metastases,
This randomized clinical trial demonstrates that real acupuncture significantly reduces migraine frequency and disability compared to sham acupuncture. Crucially, baseline brain connectivity patterns within the default mode and subcortical
A prospective multicenter study of 433 patients demonstrates that combining stereotactic radiotherapy with biological cancer therapy is safe, with severe adverse events occurring in less than 10% of cases. Crucially, continuing biological t
A CISNET modeling study demonstrates that mammography screening tailored to 5-year absolute invasive breast cancer risk reduces false-positive recalls by up to 23% while maintaining or improving mortality benefits compared to traditional ag
The OPTION trial reveals that tenecteplase administered 4.5 to 24 hours post-stroke in patients with non-large vessel occlusion and salvageable tissue significantly improves functional recovery, although it carries a higher risk of symptoma
An exploratory analysis from the ARCADIA-MRI substudy reveals that apixaban carries a similar risk of incident intracranial hemorrhages, microbleeds, and superficial siderosis compared to aspirin in patients with atrial cardiopathy and cryp
A post-hoc analysis of 1,040 LVO stroke patients reveals that the prognostic value of specific brain regions varies significantly between early (0-6h) and extended (6-24h) time windows, identifying the insula, caudate, and M6 as early-windo
A comprehensive case-control study published in The Lancet Regional Health – Americas highlights how Intensity-Modulated Proton Therapy (IMPT) significantly reduces toxicities and improves quality of life for nasopharyngeal carcinoma
A cross-sectional study of never-medicated individuals reveals that elevated medial prefrontal cortex glutamate levels are specific to the first episode of psychosis and correlate with cognitive deficits, suggesting a critical window for gl
A randomized controlled trial demonstrates that 6-month atorvastatin treatment significantly reduces aneurysm wall enhancement and systemic inflammatory markers in patients with unruptured vertebrobasilar dissecting aneurysms, potentially o
The MAPIT-CRT trial demonstrates that using 4D cardiac MRI-generated digital heart models to guide lead placement significantly improves LVEF in heart failure patients compared to standard techniques, offering a safe and feasible precision
