Neoadjuvant-chemotherapy (NAC) is considered the standard treatment for locally advanced breast carcinomas. Accurate assessment of disease response fundamental to increase chances successful breast-conserving surgery and avoid local recurrence. The purpose this study was compare contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) contrast-enhanced-MRI (MRI) in evaluation tumor NAC. This prospective approved by institutional review board written informed consent obtained. Fifty-four consenting...
Purpose To compare digital mammography (DM) plus breast tomosynthesis (DBT) versus DM alone for cancer screening in the Reggio Emilia Tomosynthesis trial, a two-arm test-and-treat randomized controlled trial. Materials and Methods For this eligible women (45–70 years old) who previously participated program were invited mammography. Consenting randomly assigned 1:1 to undergo DBT+DM or (both of which involved two projections double reading). Women treated according decision at DBT+DM....
Background Adding digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) to mammography (DM) improves cancer screening sensitivity, but how this impacts mortality and other end points is unknown. Purpose To compare interval overall incidence after with DBT plus DM versus alone. Materials Methods In prospective trial (RETomo), women attending were randomized one round of (experimental arm) or (control arm). All then rescreened 12 months (women aged 45–49 years) 24 (50–69 years). The primary outcome was...
Prior studies variably reported residual chest CT abnormalities after COVID-19. This study evaluates the patterns of in severe COVID-19 pneumonia survivors. All consecutive survivors who received a scan 5-7 months two Italian hospitals (Reggio Emilia and Parma) were enrolled. Individual findings retrospectively collected follow-up scans categorized as: resolution, non-fibrotic abnormalities, or fibrotic according to classified following standard definitions international guidelines. In...
We assessed the impact of chest CT body composition parameters on outcomes and disease severity at hospital presentation COVID-19 patients, focusing also possible mediation in relationship between age death these patients. Chest scans performed by consecutive patients (02/27/2020-03/13/2020) were retrospectively reviewed to obtain pectoralis muscle density total, visceral, intermuscular adipose tissue areas (TAT, VAT, IMAT) level T7-T8 vertebrae. Primary were: hospitalization, mechanical...
A high incidence of thrombotic events has been reported in patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. We report 3 clinical cases Italy COVID-19 who developed abdominal viscera infarction, demonstrated computed tomography.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare digital radiography systems using the metric effective detective quantum efficiency (eDQE), which better reflects imaging system performance under clinical operating conditions, in comparison with conventional metrics such as modulation transfer function (MTF), normalized noise power spectra (NNPS), and (DQE). Methods: eDQE was computed by calculation MTF, NNPS, phantom attenuation scatter, estimation x‐ray flux. physical characterization...
Laboratory data and computed tomography (CT) have been used during the COVID-19 pandemic, mainly to determine patient prognosis guide clinical management. The aim of this study was evaluate association between CT findings laboratory in a cohort patients.This an observational cross-sectional including consecutive patients presenting Reggio Emilia (Italy) province emergency rooms for suspected one month outbreak peak, who underwent chest scan testing at presentation resulted positive...
Baseline CT scans of 116 patients (48% female, median 64 years) with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) were retrospectively reviewed to investigate the prognostic role sarcopenia and fat compartment distributions on overall survival (OS), progression-free (PFS), early therapy termination. Skeletal muscle index (SMI), skeletal density (SMD), intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) quantified at level third lumbar vertebra (L3) proximal thigh (PT). Low L3-SMD, but not low L3-SMI, was...

Image-derived artificial intelligence (AI)-based risk models for breast cancer have shown high discriminatory performances compared with clinical based on family history and lifestyle factors. However, little is known about their generalizability across European screening settings. We therefore investigated the of an AI-based model in Using four populations three countries (Italy, Spain, Germany) screened between 2009 2020 women aged 45–69, we performed a nested case-control study to assess...
A survey conducted by the European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) in 2023 revealed significant variations Quality Assurance (QA) practices across Europe. The UK encourages regular performance monitoring for screen readers. This study aimed to assess variability diagnostic among readers participating a wider prospective randomised trial multiple countries. In this retrospective multinational study, breast imaging from MyPeBS clinical examined test set 40 challenging screening cases using...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association adipose tissue characteristics with survival in rectal cancer patients. All consecutive patients, diagnosed stage II–IV between 2010–2016 using baseline unenhanced Computed Tomography (CT), were included. Baseline total, subcutaneous and visceral areas (TAT, SAT, VAT) densities (TATd, SATd, VATd) at third lumbar vertebra (L3) retrospectively measured. these tissues cancer-specific progression-free (CCS, PFS) assessed by competitive risk...
The aim was to identify any association between imaging signs of vessel wall inflammation (positron emission tomography-CT (PET-CT) score and CT/MR thickening) synchronous subsequent vascular damage (stenoses/dilations) in patients with large vasculitis (LVV).Consecutive LVV referred a tertiary centre 2007-2020 baseline PET-CT morphological (CT/MR angiography) performed within 3 months were included. All available scans reviewed assess uptake (4-point semi-quantitative score), thickening,...
