The utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) is expanding significantly within medical research and, to some extent, in clinical practice. Deep learning (DL) applications, which use large convolutional neural networks (CNN), hold considerable potential, especially in optimizing radiological evaluations. However, training DL algorithms to clinical standards requires extensive datasets, and their processing is labor-intensive.

Purpose: To compare the diagnostic performance of conventional radiography (CR), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in classifying LSTVs.
Material And Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, a total of 852 patients undergoing lumbar imaging studies using all three modalities were initially assessed for the presence of LSTV using CT scans.
Article Synopsis
- The carpal boss (CB) is a rare bony growth found at the quadrangular joint of the wrist, potentially caused by osteophyte formation or an accessory bone known as os styloideum.
- People with a carpal boss may experience pain, swelling, and limited hand movement, often due to joint degeneration, ganglion cysts, or tendon issues.
- The review emphasizes the importance of high-resolution ultrasonography (HR-US) for diagnosing and managing conditions related to the carpal boss and outlines the standard techniques for assessing the quadrangular joint.
Changes in Daily Apparent Diffusion Coefficient on Fully Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging Correlate With Established Genomic Pathways of Radiation Sensitivity and Reveal Novel Biologic Associations.

Purpose: Changes in quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) are frequently observed during chemotherapy or radiation therapy (RT). It is hypothesized that qMRI features are reflective of underlying tissue responses. It's unknown what underlying genomic characteristics underly qMRI changes.
