Current use of percutaneous ablation in renal tumors: an analysis of the registry of the German Society for Interventional Radiology and Minimally Invasive Therapy.

Objective: To evaluate the success and complications of thermal ablation (TA) based on the voluntary, prospective registry of the German Society for Interventional Radiology and Minimally Invasive Therapy (DeGIR) with 303 participating centers from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

Materials And Methods: Registry data from 2018 until 2023 of 1102 patients with small renal tumors (age: 72.5 ± 11.

Assessment of image quality and impact of deep learning-based software in non-contrast head CT scans.

In this retrospective study, we aimed to assess the objective and subjective image quality of different reconstruction techniques and a deep learning-based software on non-contrast head computed tomography (CT) images. In total, 152 adult head CT scans (77 female, 75 male; mean age 69.4 ± 18.

Impact of AI-Based Post-Processing on Image Quality of Non-Contrast Computed Tomography of the Chest and Abdomen.

Non-contrast computed tomography (CT) is commonly used for the evaluation of various pathologies including pulmonary infections or urolithiasis but, especially in low-dose protocols, image quality is reduced. To improve this, deep learning-based post-processing approaches are being developed. Therefore, we aimed to compare the objective and subjective image quality of different reconstruction techniques and a deep learning-based software on non-contrast chest and low-dose abdominal CTs.

Impact of CT and MRI in the diagnostic workup of malignant triton tumour-a monocentric analysis and review of the literature.

Objectives: Malignant triton tumours (MTTs) are rare but aggressive subtypes of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours (MPNSTs) with a high recurrence rate and 5-year survival of 14%. Systematic imaging data on MTTs are scarce and mainly based on single case reports. Therefore, we aimed to identify typical CT and MRI features to improve early diagnosis rates of this uncommon entity.
