Background: To study the feasibility of hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HBS) to improve selection and planning of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with holmium-166 (Ho)-microspheres radioembolization.

Results: Thirty-one patients with HCC were included and treated with Ho- radioembolization as part of a prospective phase 2 study. Twenty-seven patients were eligible for analysis, 67% had a cirrhotic liver morphology on imaging, 70% had multifocal disease and 51% had bilobar disease.

Background: Obesity in midlife, body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m or higher, is recognized as a contributor to Alzheimer disease (AD) later in life. Adiposity in visceral tissues such as liver is associated with increased systemic inflammation and impaired cognition. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between MRI-derived Positron Density Fat Fraction (PDFF) and brain histology and neuroinflammation using Diffusion Basis Spectrum Imaging (DBSI) in cognitively normal midlife individuals.

Background: Obesity in midlife is a risk factor for developing Alzheimer disease later in life. However, the metabolic and inflammatory effects of body fat varies based on its anatomical localization. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association of MRI-derived abdominal visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue (VAT and SAT), liver proton-density fat fraction (PDFF), thigh fat-to-muscle ratio (FMR), and insulin resistance with whole-brain amyloid burden in cognitively normal midlife individuals.

Background: While body mass index (BMI) is widely used to gauge overall adiposity, its accuracy in older age has yielded inconsistent findings. Moreover, BMI does not account for variations in regional fat distribution, which may differ between sexes. This study aims to investigate whether regional adiposity plays a distinct role in impacting cognition and the volumes of AD-related brain regions in older adults with T2D enrolled in the Israel Diabetes and Cognitive Decline (IDCD) study.

Background: High body mass index (BMI), which poorly represents specific fat depots, is linked to poorer cognition and higher dementia risk, with different associations between sexes. We examined associations of abdominal fat depots with cognition and brain volumes and whether sex modifies this association.

Method: 204 healthy middle-aged Alzheimer's-dementia (AD) offspring (mean age = 59.
