Article Synopsis
- * A systematic review of literature identified 26 studies focusing on MRI-based radiomics for bladder cancer, with applications in preoperative staging, predicting tumor grade, and assessing treatment response, primarily utilizing second-order features from filtered images.
- * While MRI-based radiomics shows potential as a quantitative method for bladder cancer characterization and prognosis, there is a critical need for standardization and validation of the techniques before clinical implementation.
Three-dimensional (3D) virtual reconstruction (VR) in the medical sciences has emerged as a novel, exciting and effective tool, with promising results for patients, trainees, and even experienced surgeons. The purpose of this review is to summarize the information on the clinical value and applications of 3D VR in renal tumors published in the last ten years. A literary search of PubMed-MEDLINE databases was performed to identify studies reporting the clinical application and usefulness of 3D VR models in renal tumors.

- This study looked at how some special measurements from medical images could help predict if rectal cancer will come back later as new tumors.
- Researchers examined 52 patients and found some differences in specific measurements between those who had new tumors and those who didn't.
- The best measurements for prediction were the 90th percentile and uniformity, showing that these could be helpful in understanding the chances of cancer returning.
Background: The impact of carotid stenosis (CS) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery remains controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between carotid stenosis and stroke and/or transient ischemic attack (TIA) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study including patients undergoing cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass from January 2006 to March 2018 at the Québec Heart and Lung Institute.
Nuclear grade is important for treatment selection and prognosis in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). This study aimed to determine the ability of preoperative four-phase multiphasic multidetector computed tomography (MDCT)-based radiomics features to predict the WHO/ISUP nuclear grade. In all 102 patients with histologically confirmed ccRCC, the training set ( = 62) and validation set ( = 40) were randomly assigned.
