Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and reliability of the Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) ultrasound v2019 in classifying adnexal masses (AMs) and compare the old and updated systems (v2022).
Patients And Methods: This prospective study enrolled 977 consecutive women with suspected AMs from three institutions between January 2022 and December 2023. Ultrasound examinations were performed by three experienced radiologists who categorized AMs according to O-RADS ultrasound v2019.
Background: miRNA 223 /125a and Cordon-bleu Protein Like 1 (COBLL1) are novel biomarkers that can predict prognosis and guide treatment decisions in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Also, there is a growing interest in CLL monitoring based on flow cytometry of receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor-1 (ROR-1). Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between miRNA 223 /125a and COBLL1 expressions and ROR-1 expression in patients with CLL.

Materials And Methods: A prospective multi-institutional study enrolled 63 patients with 67 complicated cystic renal masses (CRMs) discovered during ultrasound examination. All patients underwent CT and MRI scans and histopathology.
Background: Despite the significant progress in target therapy for the treatment of metastatic colorectal carcinoma (mCRC), the overall survival isn't satisfactory.
Methods: We assessed the expression of Amphiregulin, PTEN, and P21 in sections from 23 paraffin blocks prepared from 23 patients with left-sided mCRC using immunohistochemistry (IHC). The relationship between their level of expressions, clinicopathological parameters, response to anti-EGFR, and prognosis were analyzed.
Objective: To evaluate diagnostic performance and inter-reviewer agreement (IRA) of the Gynecologic Imaging Reporting and Data System (GI-RADS) for diagnosis of adnexal masses (AMs) by pelvic ultrasound (US).
Patients And Methods: A prospective multicenter study included 308 women (mean age, 41 ± 12.5 years; range, 15-73 years) with 325 AMs detected by US.
Rationale And Objectives: Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen-11 (Ga-PSMA-11) is a recently developed positron emission tomography (PET) tracer that can detect prostate cancer (PC) relapses and metastases with high contrast resolution. The aim of this study was to assess the detection efficacy and diagnostic accuracy of Ga-PSMA PET/CT image in patients with rising prostatic-specific antigen (PSA) after treatment of PC.
Materials And Methods: The present prospective study included 188 patients who exhibited rising of PSA level on a routine follow-up examination after definitive treatment of PC.
Objective: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of WB-MRI and F-FDG PET/CT in detecting infiltration pattern, disease activity, and response to treatment in patients with multiple myeloma (MM).
Materials And Methods: Fifty-six patients with confirmed MM were included in the present study for pre-treatment evaluation. Among these individuals, 22 patients were available for the post-treatment evaluation of response to therapy.
Objective: To compare diagnostic performance and agreement between CT, MRI and combined CT/MRI in reference to LI-RADS classification system to categorize hepatic observations detected in hepatic patients during screening ultrasound.
Methods: 240 patients with 296 liver observations detected during ultrasound surveillance underwent hepatic CT and MRI examinations, histopathology, and clinical and radiological follow-up. Using LI-RADS v2014, six radiologists evaluated the observations independently and assigned a LI-RADS category to each observation using CT, MRI and combined CT/MRI.
