The incidence of cancer during pregnancy is steadily rising because of the postponement of plans for childbearing. One of the most common cancers diagnosed during pregnancy is cervical cancer. Diagnosis of most cases usually occurs in the early stages, but there are still cases of tumors staged IB2 and higher.

- The study examined CT/MRI scans of 127 subjects (63 with cervical cancer and 64 with endometrial cancer) to compare rates of radiation-related fractures following different treatments.
- Despite differences in treatment doses and patient characteristics like age and BMI, the fracture rates were similar: 28.6% for cervical cancer patients and 26.6% for endometrial cancer patients.
- Lower bone density was a significant factor, as older cervical cancer patients had lower bone densities, and while endometrial cancer patients showed no age difference, they also had lower bone densities and BMIs, with overall fracture risk linked mainly to osteoporosis rather than BMI.
Radiomic features are usually used to predict target variables such as the absence or presence of a disease, treatment response, or time to symptom progression. One of the potential clinical applications is in patients with Parkinson's disease. Robust radiomic features for this specific imaging method have not yet been identified, which is necessary for proper feature selection.

Background And Aims: A significant source of man-made radiation is now linked to medical devices especially X-ray imaging based ones like CT scans which expose the body to cumulative ionizing radiation and thus attendant cancer risks. The aim of this study was to determine whether using a combination of Automatic Tube Current Modulation (ATCM) and Automatic Tube Voltage Selection (ATVS) during two-phase whole-body CT (2PWBCT) examinations would reduce the radiation dose while preserving the image quality.
Patients And Methods: This was a prospective, observational, single-centre study of 127 adult patients who had undergone the 2PWBCT polytraumatic protocol.
Background: The prospective study assessed infarct growth rate (IGR) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with large vessel occlusion (LVO) after recanalization in early time window. Early IGR (EIGR) and late IGR (LIGR) were correlated with imaging and clinical data; we searched for outcome predictors.
Methods: We included 71 consecutive patients.
