Parathyroid tumors (PTs) are sometimes difficult to diagnose because they are small and have low-velocity blood flow, which can be missed by current imaging modalities. PTs consist of parathyroid adenoma (PA), parathyroid cyst, and parathyroid carcinoma (PC). Detective flow imaging (DFI) is a new imaging technology that displays low-velocity blood flow. Herein, we report two cases in which DFI was useful for diagnosis of PTs. One patient had a PA and a parathyroid cyst in close proximity, and the other had a PC. To our knowledge, this is the first report to demonstrate the usefulness of DFI in the diagnosis of PTs.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to evaluate how well a radiomics signature from arterial spin labeling (ASL) imaging can predict and detect kidney damage in diabetic patients and to find imaging risk factors for early renal injury.
- The research involved three groups: healthy volunteers, diabetic individuals with mild kidney issues (microalbuminuria), and patients with severe diabetic nephropathy, using advanced MRI techniques to analyze kidney texture features.
- A variety of machine learning models were employed to create predictive tools that can identify early kidney injury and monitor its progression, linking the radiomics features to biological indicators of kidney health.

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and intraductal ultrasound (IDUS) play very important roles in the field of biliary tract disease. Because of their excellent spatial resolution, the detection of small lesions and T- or N-staging of tumors have become possible. Additionally, contrast-enhanced EUS and the new imaging technique of detective flow imaging are reported to be useful for differential diagnosis.

Background And Objectives: Detective flow imaging EUS (DFI-EUS) is a new technology that detects fine vessels and low-flow velocity without contrast agents, used in real time during EUS, with a better resolution compared to usual technologies such as color Doppler and eFLOW. The aim of this study was to compare DFI-EUS with contrast-enhanced EUS (CE-EUS) for the evaluation of vascularization in solid pancreatic lesions.
Methods: We included patients who had a pancreatic mass visualized by EUS, with recorded images of their assessment in DFI-EUS and CE-EUS techniques and a histological diagnosis confirmed malignant tumors or a minimum of 1-year follow-up for benign lesions.
