Objective: To develop machine learning models using patient and migraine features that can predict treatment responses to commonly used migraine preventive medications.

Background: Currently, there is no accurate way to predict response to migraine preventive medications, and the standard trial-and-error approach is inefficient.

Methods: In this cohort study, we analyzed data from the Mayo Clinic Headache database prospectively collected from 2001 to December 2023.

Recent advances in percutaneous image-guided techniques have empowered interventional radiologists with diverse treatment options for the management of musculoskeletal lesions. Of note, there is growing utility for cementoplasty procedures, with indications ranging from stabilization of bone metastases to treatment of painful vertebral compression fractures. Likewise, cryoablation has emerged as a viable adjunct in the treatment of both primary and secondary bone and soft tissue neoplasms.

Dual-energy CT (DECT) is an exciting application in CT technology conferring many advantages over conventional single-energy CT at no additional with comparable radiation dose to the patient. Various emerging and increasingly established clinical DECT applications in musculoskeletal (MSK) imaging such as bone marrow oedema detection, metal artefact reduction, monosodium urate analysis, and collagen analysis for ligamentous, meniscal, and disc injuries are made possible through its advanced DECT post-processing capabilities. These provide superior information on tissue composition, artefact reduction and image optimization.
