New international recommendations position imaging as a context-driven adjunct in polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR): not routine for clear cases, most helpful in intermediate or atypical presentations, and not recommended for routine monitoring.
Ultrasound demonstrates high accuracy and reproducibility in preoperative localization of lymphovenous anastomosis sites, outperforming existing methods and offering a robust tool for lymphedema surgery planning.
Indexing donor kidney parenchymal volume by recipient BMI via routine ultrasound strongly predicts one-year kidney graft function, offering a practical surrogate for graft-recipient size matching.
Ultra-widefield swept-source OCT excels in assessing small-to-medium choroidal tumors, outperforming SD-OCT and providing detailed structural insights with noninvasive precision, though larger or complex tumors benefit from multimodal imagi
A no-code, agentic AI workflow successfully developed and externally validated a calibrated thyroid nodule malignancy classifier, demonstrating strong diagnostic performance across multiple cancer histologies and enhancing accessibility in
MRI-detected hand tenosynovitis and ultrasound-detected bone erosions independently and jointly predict progression to inflammatory arthritis in anti-CCP positive individuals with musculoskeletal symptoms but no clinical synovitis.
A clear, imaging-centered framework for diagnosing and stratifying appendiceal abscesses—introducing anatomotopographic localization, the Jeffrey radiological grading, and pathway-based imaging recommendations to harmonize practice.
A new sonographic pattern characterized by discontinuous peripheral punctate echogenic foci (DPEF) in thyroid nodules is strongly associated with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), suggesting its potential as an important diagnostic marker
In a large retrospective cohort, most stillbirths and composite adverse outcomes occurred among pregnancies with a normal ultrasound at 35–36 weeks, despite high detection of severe small-for-gestational-age infants.
International registry data show that expectant management of live cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy is frequently followed by second-trimester loss, placenta accreta spectrum, and peripartum hysterectomy, with first-trimester ultrasound mark
A prospective trial found that non-contrast abbreviated MRI detected hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic patients far better than ultrasound, with most MRI-detected tumors found at an early, potentially curable stage.
This review synthesizes findings from a large-scale comparison of five major thyroid ultrasound risk stratification systems (RSSs), evaluating how nodule size and standardized lexicon influence sensitivity, specificity, and unnecessary biop
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
The 5-year NOR-Gout study demonstrates that sustained low serum urate via treat-to-target therapy leads to dissolution of crystal deposits, reduced flares, and increased remission rates, highlighting the clinical value of long-term urate co
The UPsA activity and damage ultrasound scores (and a simplified sUPsA) were developed and internally validated in 312 PsA patients; they correlate moderately with clinical measures, are responsive to change (SRM overall 0.63; 1.03 in MDA a
Five‑year follow‑up of the NOR‑Gout treat‑to‑target urate‑lowering therapy program shows durable serum urate control, marked reduction and frequent dissolution of ultrasound‑detected MSU deposits, and a low residual flare rate linked to hig
