A case report of hepatic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in a pediatric patient: diagnostic challenges and management strategies.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to present a case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the liver in a 4-year-old girl. We will discuss the diagnostic challenges, the role of the radiologist in differential diagnosis, treatment modalities, and clinical outcomes.

Methods: A case report of a 4-year-old girl with IMT of the liver is presented.

Transabdominal sac puncture: A straightforward access to an excluded iliac artery aneurysm.

Iliac artery aneurysms (IAA) associated with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are found in 10%-20% of AAAs. Isolated internal iliac artery aneurysms (IIAAs) are an uncommon entity, representing 0.3%-0.

A Trifecta-Based Evaluation of Patients Treated with Percutaneous Thermal Ablation of Small Renal Masses.

Scoring metrics are important to compare outcomes of different percutaneous treatments for small renal masses (RMs). The concept of trifecta (no complications, kidney function preservation, and absence of local recurrence) has been recently introduced in percutaneous thermal ablation of RM. In this context, previous studies have shown that cryoablation (CA) and microwave ablation (MWA) have similar outcomes.

Decoding Radiomics: A Step-by-Step Guide to Machine Learning Workflow in Hand-Crafted and Deep Learning Radiomics Studies.

Although radiomics research has experienced rapid growth in recent years, with numerous studies dedicated to the automated extraction of diagnostic and prognostic information from various imaging modalities, such as CT, PET, and MRI, only a small fraction of these findings has successfully transitioned into clinical practice. This gap is primarily due to the significant methodological challenges involved in radiomics research, which emphasize the need for a rigorous evaluation of study quality. While many technical aspects may lie outside the expertise of most radiologists, having a foundational knowledge is essential for evaluating the quality of radiomics workflows and contributing, together with data scientists, to the development of models with a real-world clinical impact.

[Italian Society of Interventional Cardiology (SICI-GISE) Position paper: Integrated management and transcatheter interventions for acute pulmonary embolism].

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is commonly treated primarily with pharmacological therapy, while advanced reperfusion therapies (transcatheter or surgical) are considered only in cases of contraindications or failure of standard therapies. Treatment algorithms vary depending on the patient's risk, with patients at intermediate or high risk potentially requiring evaluation for such advanced reperfusion therapies. Critical scenarios, such as contraindications to systemic thrombolysis or failure of pharmacological protocols, necessitate the activation of a multidisciplinary pulmonary embolism response team (PERT) and prompt therapeutic escalation.
