Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluates the effectiveness of machine learning models in predicting improvements in refractory ascites for patients undergoing TIPS placement, analyzing data from 218 patients.
  • Results show that 77% of patients experienced improvement, with certain clinical factors like sodium and albumin levels significantly associated with better outcomes.
  • Two ML models, SVM and CatBoost, showed high accuracy (83% and 87%) in predicting improvements, suggesting these models could aid in selecting suitable patients for the procedure.

Intraneural ganglion cysts (IGCs) are mucinous cysts located within peripheral nerves, often associated with an articular nerve branch and the adjacent synovial joint capsule. These cysts, while rare, can occur in various nerves, with the tibial nerve being an infrequent site. Tibial nerve IGCs are rare pathologies.

Purpose: This study aims to demonstrate the performance of machine learning algorithms to distinguish clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) from clinically insignificant prostate cancer (ciPCa) in prostate bi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using radiomics features.

Methods: MRI images of patients who were diagnosed with cancer with histopathological confirmation following prostate MRI were collected retrospectively. Patients with a Gleason score of 3+3 were considered to have clinically ciPCa, and patients with a Gleason score of 3+4 and above were considered to have csPCa.

Objectives: To evaluate the performances of machine learning using semantic and radiomic features from magnetic resonance imaging data to distinguish cystic pituitary adenomas (CPA) from Rathke's cleft cysts (RCCs).

Materials And Methods: The study involved 65 patients diagnosed with either CPA or RCCs. Multiple observers independently assessed the semantic features of the tumors on the magnetic resonance images.

Purpose: To develop and assess machine learning (ML) models' ability to predict post-procedural hepatic encephalopathy (HE) following transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement.

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective study, 327 patients who underwent TIPS for hepatic cirrhosis between 2005 and 2019 were analyzed. Thirty features (8 clinical, 10 laboratory, 12 procedural) were collected, and HE development regardless of severity was recorded one month follow-up.

Purpose: To evaluate machine learning models, created with radiomics and clinicoradiomics features, ability to predict local response after TACE.

Materials And Methods: 188 treatment-naïve patients (150 responders, 38 non-responders) with HCC who underwent TACE were included in this retrospective study. Laboratory, clinical and procedural information were recorded.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the potential of machine learning-based models for predicting carcinogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) oncogene types using radiomics features from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Methods: Pre-treatment MRI images of patients with cervical cancer were collected retrospectively. An HPV DNA oncogene analysis was performed based on cervical biopsy specimens.

Purpose: To create and evaluate the ability of machine learning-based models with clinicoradiomic features to predict radiologic response after transarterial radioembolization (TARE).

Materials And Methods: 82 treatment-naïve patients (65 responders and 17 nonresponders; median age: 65 years; interquartile range: 11) who underwent selective TARE were included. Treatment responses were evaluated using the European Association for the Study of the Liver criteria at 3-month follow-up.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the potential of machine learning algorithms built with radiomics features from computed tomography urography (CTU) images that classify RB1 gene mutation status in bladder cancer.

Method: The study enrolled CTU images of 18 patients with and 54 without RB1 mutation from a public database. Image and data preprocessing were performed after data augmentation.

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the interobserver agreement and diagnostic accuracy of COVID-19 Reporting and Data System (CO-RADS), in patients suspected COVID-19 pneumonia.

Methods: Two hundred nine nonenhanced chest computed tomography images of patients with clinically suspected COVID-19 pneumonia were included. The images were evaluated by 2 groups of observers, consisting of 2 residents-radiologists, using CO-RADS.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine the presence and evaluate the features of potential predatory journals in the radiology field.

Methods: The presence of the keywords related to radiology listed in the name of journals was investigated in Beall's list. We have searched and recorded the features and the information of the included journals listed under the following headings: address and location, publishing features, editorial board, indexing features, submission, and peer-review processes.
