Aims: To investigate the diagnostic performance of CT-based radiomics in detecting cardiac amyloidosis (CA) in patients with diffuse myocardial thickening.
Methods And Results: Patients with diffuse myocardial thickening who underwent coronary CT angiography were retrospectively enrolled from five hospitals. Patients from one hospital were randomly divided into training and internal test cohorts at a 7:3 ratio, and the other 4 hospitals constituted the external test cohort. The diagnosis of CA followed established guidelines. Regions of interest of myocardium were delineated to extract radiomics features to construct the radiomics model and myocardial CT attenuation was measured. The diagnostic performance and clinical utility of the radiomics model and myocardial CT attenuation were compared with the area under the curve (AUC) and decision curve analysis (DCA). The correlation between radiomics score and left ventricular function was analyzed. A total of 378 patients (median age, 57 years; 257 men) were enrolled. Ten features were selected to construct the radiomics model. The AUCs of radiomics model were significantly higher than myocardial CT attenuation in the training (0.95 vs. 0.58, P < 0.001), internal test (0.95 vs. 0.59, P < 0.001), and external test cohorts (0.91 vs. 0.64, P < 0.001). DCA indicated the radiomics model provided a greater net benefit than myocardial CT attenuation across cohorts. Radiomics scores were correlated with n-terminal proB-type natriuretic peptide and left ventricular diastolic diameter across cohorts (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: The radiomics model exhibited good diagnostic performance for CA detection in patients with hypertrophic phenotypes, outperforming myocardial CT attenuation.

Background: Cervical cancer remains a major cause of mortality among women globally, with lymph node metastasis (LNM) being a critical determinant of patient prognosis.
Methods: In this study, MRI scans from 153 cervical cancer patients between January 2018 and January 2024 were analyzed. The patients were assigned to two groups: 103 in the training cohort; 49 in the validation cohort.

Purpose: To develop and validate an accurate computed tomography-based radiomics model for predicting high-grade (micropapillary/solid) patterns in T1-stage lung invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC) after propensity score matching (PSM).
Materials And Methods: We enrolled 546 participants from 2 cohorts with histologically diagnosed lung IAC after complete surgical resection between January 2020 and August 2021. The patients were divided into high-grade and non-high-grade groups and matched using PSM.

This article reviews the state-of-the-art applications of quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) in predicting and evaluating response to transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HCC is a highly heterogeneous tumor, and its response to TACE varies significantly among patients. Early identification of treatment response is critical for optimizing management.

Rationale And Objectives: Accurate determination of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression is critical for guiding targeted therapy in breast cancer. This study aimed to develop and validate a deep learning (DL)-based decision-making visual biomarker system (DM-VBS) for predicting HER2 status using radiomics and DL features derived from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and mammography (MG).
Materials And Methods: Radiomics features were extracted from MRI, and DL features were derived from MG.
