Diagnostic accuracy and inter-reader agreement of the nacVI-RADS for bladder cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy: a prospective validation study.

Objective: The primary aim was to determine the performance of neoadjuvant chemotherapy VI-RADS (nacVI-RADS) in predicting response to systemic therapy in patients with MIBC and to evaluate its inter-reader agreement.

Materials And Methods: Prospective study, including patients with non-metastatic muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy before radical cystectomy (RC). Patients underwent pre- and post-treatment MRI.

Arthralgia and Extraintestinal Manifestations in Crohn's Disease Elevate the Risk of IBD-Related Arthritis over Sacroiliitis.

Introduction: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) related arthritis is the most prevalent extraintestinal manifestation (EIM) of IBD, ranging between 10 and 39%. Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) is used to assess small bowel disease involvement in Crohn's disease (CD) and can detect signs of sacroiliitis in up to 23.5% of patients.

Preparing radiology residents for breast MRI: A dual-site, resident-as-teacher feasibility project.

Purpose: To assess the impact of a faculty-mentored, resident-as-teacher theoretical-practical breast MRI (B-MRI) course on the reporting completeness and accuracy of "trainee" radiology residents (RRs) with basic or no experience in conventional breast imaging (CBI) and the personal skills and critical thinking of experienced, "teacher" RRs.

Methods: Six teacher-RRs from the Udine University residency program (URP) preliminarily selected and reported 55 B-MRI cases under faculty supervision. Twelve trainee-RRs (six from Udine URP and six from Vienna URP, with basic and no experience in CBI, respectively) underwent seven days of self-study on selected material, followed by a pre-training reporting test (pre-TRT) on 15 of the 55 B-MRI cases.

PI-QUAL version 2: A Multi-Reader reproducibility study on multiparametric MRI from a tertiary referral center.

Purpose: To assess the inter-reader and intra-reader agreement of the Prostate imaging quality version 2 (PI-QUAL v.2) for multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) among radiologists with varying levels of expertise.

Methods: Fifty men underwent 3 T mpMRI scans in a tertiary referral center.

Case-by-case combination of the prostate imaging reporting and data system version 2.1 with the Likert score to reduce the false-positives of prostate MRI: a proof-of-concept study.

Objectives: To retrospectively investigate whether a case-by-case combination of the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System version 2.1 (PI-RADS) with the Likert score improves the diagnostic performance of mpMRI for clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), especially by reducing false-positives.

Methods: One hundred men received mpMRI between January 2020 and April 2021, followed by prostate biopsy.
