The applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology are rapidly advancing with AI algorithms being used in a wide range of disease pathologies and clinical settings. Acute thoracic pathologies including rib fractures, pneumothoraces, and acute PE are associated with significant morbidity and mortality and their identification is crucial for prompt treatment. AI models which increase diagnostic accuracy, improve radiologist efficiency and reduce time to diagnosis of acute abnormalities in the thorax have the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current applications of AI in acute thoracic imaging, highlighting their strengths, limitations, and future research opportunities.

Objectives: This study evaluates a staged selective hybrid approach for acute type A aortic dissection. The approach involves a zone 2 aortic arch replacement with debranching of the brachiocephalic trunk and left common carotid artery to create a landing zone for thoracic endovascular aortic repair. This repair is performed either preemptively in the subacute phase to promote remodelling or electively in the chronic phase to manage aneurysm formation.

Background: Acute Stanford type A aortic dissection is a severe emergency condition that, if left untreated, is associated with a high mortality rate. The extent of surgical repair may impact the outcomes of these patients.
Method: Patients operated for acute type A aortic dissection from a multicentre European registry were included.

Objectives: Marginal donor kidneys are increasingly used for transplantation to overcome organ shortage. This study aims to investigate the additional value of Power Doppler (PD) imaging in kidney quality assessment during normothermic machine perfusion (NMP).
Methods: Porcine kidneys (n = 22) retrieved from a local slaughterhouse underwent 2 h of NMP.

Acute abdominal aortic occlusion is a rare vascular emergency associated with high morbidity and mortality. To date, the topic has hardly been addressed scientifically. Most case series are afflicted with small cohort numbers.

Introduction: Children with congenital lung disease (CLD) may suffer from long-term complications, such as impairments in lung growth, decreased total lung volume, recurrent lower respiratory tract infections and, in some cases, malignant transformation.
Objective And Methods: we described retrospective data on diagnostic process, clinical and functional data regarding a cohort of symptomatic and asymptomatic children with CLD followed in a single third level center in the last twenty years.
Results: 91 children were included in the study.
