Article Abstract
Nanoparticles are useful tools in oncology because of their capacity to passively accumulate in tumors in particular via the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. However, the importance and reliability of this effect remains controversial and quite often unpredictable. In this preclinical study, we used optical imaging to detect the accumulation of three types of fluorescent nanoparticles in eight different subcutaneous and orthotopic tumor models, and dynamic contrast-enhanced and vessel size index Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to measure the functional parameters of these tumors. The results demonstrate that the permeability and blood volume fraction determined by MRI are useful parameters for predicting the capacity of a tumor to accumulate nanoparticles. Translated to a clinical situation, this strategy could help anticipate the EPR effect of a particular tumor and thus its accessibility to nanomedicines.

A robust multimodal brain MRI-based diagnostic model for migraine: validation across different migraine phases and longitudinal follow-up data.

Inter-individual variability in symptoms and the dynamic nature of brain pathophysiology present significant challenges in constructing a robust diagnostic model for migraine. In this study, we aimed to integrate different types of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), providing structural and functional information, and develop a robust machine learning model that classifies migraine patients from healthy controls by testing multiple combinations of hyperparameters to ensure stability across different migraine phases and longitudinally repeated data. Specifically, we constructed a diagnostic model to classify patients with episodic migraine from healthy controls, and validated its performance across ictal and interictal phases, as well as in a longitudinal setting.

Objective: To explore the application value of MRI-based imaging histology and deep learning model in the identification and classification of breast phyllodes tumors.
Methods: Seventy-seven patients diagnosed as breast phyllodes tumors and fibroadenomas by pathological examination were retrospectively analyzed, and traditional radiomics features, subregion radiomics features, and deep learning features were extracted from MRI images, respectively. The features were screened and modeled using variance selection method, statistical test, random forest importance ranking method, Spearman correlation analysis, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO).

Biopsy is considered the gold standard for diagnosing brain tumors, but its invasive nature can pose risks to patients. Additionally, tissue analysis can be cumbersome and inconsistent among observers. This research aims to develop a cost-effective, non-invasive, MRI-based computer-aided diagnosis tool that can reliably, accurately and swiftly identify brain tumor grades.

Article Synopsis
- Prostate cancer is a prevalent and serious health issue for men, and this study aims to evaluate how effective radiomics is in predicting the cancer grade.
- The research systematically reviewed 43 studies involving nearly 10,000 patients, using advanced imaging techniques and established quality assessment tools to analyze data.
- Results indicate that radiomics models show high accuracy in predicting prostate cancer grades, suggesting they could enhance traditional diagnostic methods and improve clinical decision-making.

Objectives: Distinguishing dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) from Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia, particularly in patients with DLB and concomitant AD pathology (DLB/AD+), can be challenging and there is no specific MRI signature for DLB. The aim of this study is to examine the additional value of MRI-based brain volumetry in separating patients with DLB (AD+/-) from patients with AD and controls.
Methods: We included 1518 participants from four cohorts (ADC, ADNI, PDBP and PredictND); 147 were patients with DLB (n = 76, DLB/AD+; n = 71, DLB/AD-), 668 patients with AD dementia, and 703 controls.
