Acute leukemia, a highly perilous cancer, is diagnosed using invasive procedures like bone marrow aspirate and biopsy (BMA/BMB). This study investigated the use of artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy as a non-invasive, reagent-free diagnostic alternative with high sensitivity and specificity. The spectral peak patterns of peripheral blood smears (PBS) from clinically healthy individuals ( = 50) BMA/BMB-confirmed acute leukemia patients ( = 50) were examined in the 1800-850 cm range.

Background: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) is now the standard of care to guide prostate biopsies during workups and assessment of men with suspected prostate cancer (PCa). In addition to intraprostatic lesion detection, MRI usually covers the bony pelvis and pelvic lymph nodes, two of the commonest sites for metastatic disease. Subsequent staging has traditionally been based on further scanning using a combination of computed tomography (CT) and bone scintigraphy (BS), and more recently, positron emission tomography (PET) scanning with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligand.

Introduction: The first-step in diagnosis of myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS) is essentially based on bone marrow cytomorphology. However, cytomorphology of MDS is often a difficult exercise, subject to inter-operator variability. Our study aims to evaluate whether the combination of two dysplasia scores, the extended Ogata score and the MDS-CBC score, could improve the screening of MDS patients among patients with chronic cytopenia.

Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of the American College of Radiology(ACR) Bone Reporting and Data System (Bone-RADS) in diagnosis of malignant tumors of the appendicular bone on conventional radiographs.
Methods: Primary and secondary tumors of appendicular bone in patients who underwent radiographic and MRI examinations were classified into benign, intermediate, and malignant using a reference standard of histopathology, imaging follow-up, or clinical-radiologic consensus. Two radiologists assessed five radiographic features (margin, periosteal reaction, endosteal erosion, pathologic fracture, and extra-osseous mass), scored point total (points from radiographic features and a history of cancer), and assigned Bone-RADS categories.

Background And Purpose: To evaluate the spectral scanner (Aquilion One PRISM Edition, Canon Medical Systems Corporation, Otawara, Japan) diagnostic performance to identify bone marrow edema (BME) in vertebrae of patients managed for suspected vertebral compression fracture in the emergency department of Dijon University Hospital.
Methods: 14 consecutive patients underwent spectral imaging and MRI spinal imaging, from January 2023 to March 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. 85 vertebrae were assessed for the detection of fracture on conventional CT images and the presence of bone marrow edema (BME) in all vertebral bodies on VNCa mapping for both Bone and Research preset, who was judged to indicate a fresh fracture.
