Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of utilizing artificial intelligence (AI)-predicted biparametric MRI (bpMRI) image features for predicting the aggressiveness of prostate cancer (PCa).
Materials And Methods: A total of 878 PCa patients from 4 hospitals were retrospectively collected, all of whom had pathological results after radical prostatectomy (RP). A pre-trained AI algorithm was used to select suspected PCa lesions and extract lesion features for model development. The study evaluated five prediction methods, including (1) A clinical-imaging model of clinical features and image features of suspected PCa lesions selected by AI algorithm, (2) the PIRADS category, (3) a conventional radiomics model, (4) a deep-learning bases radiomics model, and (5) biopsy pathology.
Results: In the externally validated dataset, the deep learning-based radiomics model showed the highest area under the curve (AUC 0.700 to 0.791). It exceeded the clinical-imaging model (AUC 0.597 to 0.718), conventional radiomic model (AUC 0.566 to 0.632), PIRADS score (AUC 0.554 to 0.613), and biopsy pathology (AUC 0.537 to 0.578). The AUC predicted by the model did not show a statistically significant difference among the three externally verified hospitals (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: Deep-learning radiomics models utilizing AI-extracted image features from bpMRI images can potentially be used to predict PCa aggressiveness, demonstrating a generalized ability for external validation.
Critical Relevance Statement: Predicting the aggressiveness of prostate cancer (PCa) is important for formulating the best treatment plan for patients. The radiomic model based on deep learning is expected to provide an objective and non-invasive method for evaluating the aggressiveness of PCa.
Key Points: Predicting the aggressiveness of PCa is important for patients to obtain the best treatment options. The deep learning-based radiomics model can predict the aggressiveness of PCa with high accuracy. The model has good universality when tested on multiple external datasets.

Anatomic teaching has long informed surgical knowledge, experience, and skills. One tool for teaching that emerged during the Renaissance was the fugitive anatomic sheet, which used flap layers to reveal different levels of anatomy. In 1538, Vogtherr introduced the first fugitive sheets, which included illustrations of male and female figures with a torso paper flap that, when lifted, revealed the internal organs in a cartoonish style.

Purpose: This study aimed to describe the incidence, clinical and pathological features, and outcomes of H3 K27M- mutant Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG) patients with leptomeningeal dissemination (LMD) and systematically investigate the predictive and prognostic factors to clarify the response to treatment after the onset of LMD.
Methods: A total of 304 patients diagnosed with DMG from October 17, 2017, to October 17, 2023, were enrolled in this study, of which 32 patients were diagnosed with LMD. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the predictors of LMD, including clinical, molecular, and imaging data.

Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is a rare and challenging subset of the more frequently encountered urothelial carcinomas (UCs), comprising roughly 5-7% of all UCs and less than 10% of all renal tumors. Hematuria is a common presenting symptom in the emergency setting, often prompting imaging to rule out serious etiologies, with UTUC especially posing as a diagnostic challenge. These UTUC lesions of the kidney and ureter are often small, mimicking other pathologies, and are more aggressive than typical UC of the bladder, emphasizing the importance of timely and accurate diagnosis.

Objectives: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with extrarenal fat (perinephric or renal sinus fat) invasion is the main evidence for the T3a stage. Currently, computed tomography (CT) is still the primary modality for staging RCC. This study aims to determine the diagnostic performance of CT in RCC patients with extrarenal fat invasion.
