Article Synopsis
- RECIST criteria for assessing cancer therapy response, especially for bevacizumab, are often insufficient compared to new radiological biomarkers like tumor-to-liver density (TTLD) ratio and modified size-based criteria.
- A study analyzing 79 out of 137 colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM) patients found that a TTLD ratio greater than 0.6 at baseline was a significant predictor for longer progression-free and overall survival, while tumor size reduction did not correlate with TTLD variations.
- The findings support the use of TTLD ratio as an early indicator of long-term clinical outcomes and its association with improved perfusion parameters in patients undergoing treatment.
Despite the important role of written language in everyday life, abnormalities in functional written communication have been sparsely investigated in primary progressive aphasia. Prior studies have analysed written language separately in each of the three variants of primary progressive aphasia-but have rarely compared them to each other or to spoken language. Manual analysis of written language can be a time-consuming process.

Validity and reliability studies of tele-neuropsychological testing have been conducted in MCI or mild AD dementia patients (e.g.

Mandibular arteriovenous malformations are rare congenital malformations that require multidisciplinary care. Implant-supported rehabilitation of significant bone defect after embolization and resection is poorly described in the literature. We present the case of a 24-year-old patient with a right-sided mandibular arteriovenous malformation diagnosed after massive hemorrhage and treated by embolization and resection surgery.

The ability to replace TUE with VUE images would have many clinical and operational advantages.
Methods: VUE and TUE images of 60 DECT datasets acquired for standard-of-care CT of pancreatic cancer were retrospectively reviewed and compared, both quantitatively and qualitatively.
