Structured reporting (SR) in radiology is becoming increasingly necessary and has been recognized recently by major scientific societies. This study aims to build structured CT-based reports colon cancer during the staging phase order improve communication between radiologist, members of multidisciplinary teams patients.A panel expert radiologists, Italian Society Medical Interventional Radiology, was established. A modified Delphi process used develop SR assess a level agreement for all...
Increased carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) is considered a marker of early-onset atherosclerosis and it seems to predict cardiovascular events both in obese diabetic subjects. We aimed evaluate early signs investigate for predisposing factors children adolescents affected by type 1 diabetes (T1DM) or obesity, comparing them with healthy controls.Out 71 enrolled subjects (mean age 12.8 ± 2.3 years), 26 had T1DM 24 were obese, while 21 age- sex-matched acted as controls. cIMT was measured...
Epicardial fat density (EFD) is implicated in cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to assess the regional variability of epicardial using coronary computed tomography (CCT) and evaluate feasibility ROI-based measurements as an alternative full segmentation. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 171 patients undergoing CCT. EFD measured non-contrast scans acquired globally three predefined regions interest (ROIs) for calcium scoring: aortic bulb, right posterolateral wall, cardiac...
This study aimed to assess the accuracy of Node-RADS scoring system in assessing metastatic lymph node (LN) involvement patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), a critical factor for treatment planning prognosis. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 42 HNSCC who underwent preoperative MRI dissection. Two radiologists independently evaluated scans using system, results were compared postoperative histopathological findings. Sensitivity, specificity, positive...
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of various MRI sequences in detecting nodal metastasis (N+) and extranodal extension (ENE+) patients with head neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 42 HNSCC who underwent preoperative subsequent surgical lymph node dissection between June 2021 December 2023. Lymph features were evaluated five different sequences. For each rN+ case, presence radiological (rENE+) assessed...
