Technical Feasibility and Outcome of Cryoablation of Aneurysmal Bone Cysts in Pediatric Patients.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical and imaging outcome of aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) in children using percutaneous cryoablation as the sole treatment.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 7 children with a mean age of 8.7 years (range, 3.

Therapeutic targeting of TGF-β in lung cancer.

Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) plays a complex role in lung cancer pathophysiology, initially acting as a tumor suppressor by inhibiting early-stage tumor growth. However, its role evolves in the advanced stages of the disease, where it contributes to tumor progression not by directly promoting cell proliferation but by enhancing epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and creating a conducive tumor microenvironment. While EMT is typically associated with enhanced migratory and invasive capabilities rather than proliferation per se, TGF-β's influence on this process facilitates the complex dynamics of tumor metastasis.

Artificial intelligence-based detection of paediatric appendicular skeletal fractures: performance and limitations for common fracture types and locations.

Background: Research into artificial intelligence (AI)-based fracture detection in children is scarce and has disregarded the detection of indirect fracture signs and dislocations.

Objective: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of an existing AI-tool for the detection of fractures, indirect fracture signs, and dislocations.

Materials And Methods: An AI software, BoneView (Gleamer, Paris, France), was assessed for diagnostic accuracy of fracture detection using paediatric radiology consensus diagnoses as reference.

Automated review of patient position in DIBH breast hybrid IMRT with EPID images.

Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH) is a respiratory-gating technique adopted in radiation therapy to lower cardiac irradiation. When performing DIBH treatments, it is important to have a monitoring system to ensure the patient's breath hold level is stable and reproducible at each fraction. In this retrospective study, we developed a system capable of monitoring DIBH breast treatments by utilizing cine EPID images taken during treatment.

Review and Analysis of Tumour Detection and Image Quality Analysis in Experimental Breast Microwave Sensing.

This review evaluates the methods used for image quality analysis and tumour detection in experimental breast microwave sensing (BMS), a developing technology being investigated for breast cancer detection. This article examines the methods used for image quality analysis and the estimated diagnostic performance of BMS for image-based and machine-learning tumour detection approaches. The majority of image analysis performed in BMS has been qualitative and existing quantitative image quality metrics aim to describe image contrast-other aspects of image quality have not been addressed.
