Ovarian-Adnexal Imaging-Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) ultrasound version 2019: a prospective validation and comparison to updated version (v2022) in pathologically confirmed adnexal masses.

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.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Integrating Ultrasound and Shear Wave Elastography in Assessing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Severity: a Prospective Observational Study.

Purpose: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition characterized by compression of the median nerve (MN) within the carpal tunnel. Accurate diagnosis and assessment of CTS severity are crucial for appropriate management decisions. This study aimed to investigate the combined diagnostic utility of B-mode ultrasound (US) and shear wave elastography (SWE) for assessing the severity of CTS in comparison to electrodiagnostic tests (EDT).

Bosniak classification version 2019: a prospective comparison of CT and MRI.

Objective: To assess the diagnostic accuracy and agreement of CT and MRI in terms of the Bosniak classification version 2019 (BCv2019).

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.

The validity and reproducibility of the thyroid imaging reporting and data system (TI-RADS) in categorization of thyroid nodules: Multicentre prospective study.

Purpose: To assess diagnostic validity and reproducibility of Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS) for interpretation of thyroid nodules by thyroid ultrasonography (US).

Method: A prospective multicentre study initially included 557 patients with clinically suspected thyroid nodules. After exclusion, a final cohort of 380 patients with 948 thyroid nodules detected by US were enrolled.

Gynecology Imaging Reporting and Data System (GI-RADS): diagnostic performance and inter-reviewer agreement.

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.

The utility of diffusion-weighted imaging in improving the sensitivity of LI-RADS classification of small hepatic observations suspected of malignancy.

Purpose: We investigated the added value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)/apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in the categorization of small hepatic observation (≤ 20 mm) detected in patients with chronic liver disease in reference to LI-RADS (liver imaging reporting and data system) classification system.

Methods: We prospectively evaluated 165 patients with chronic liver disease with small hepatic observations (≤ 20 mm) which were previously categorized as LI-RADS grade 3-5 on dynamic contrast-enhanced CT (DCE-CT). All patients were submitted to a functional MRI including DCE and DWI.
