Background : This retrospective matched-pair analysis compared functional outcomes and complications of prostate artery embolization (PAE) using 250 µm microparticles and holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia…
Objective: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) represents the most common and severe organ manifestation observed in patients diagnosed with connective tissue diseases (CTDs). The aim of this retrospective cross-sectional study was to identify clinical risk factors such as pulmonary symptoms, age, gender,…
Abstract Objectives Computer vision (CV) mimics human vision, enabling the automatic comparison of radiological images from recent examinations with a vast image database for unique identification. This method offers significant potential in emergencies involving unknown individuals. This study assesses…
Zusammenfassung Die transarterielle periartikuläre Embolisation (TAPE) stellt ein neuartiges interventionelles Verfahren zur lokalen Schmerztherapie bei Arthrose dar. Die Reduktion der lokalen Hypervaskularisation wird durch die supraselektive Embolisation periartikulärer Arterien mit geeigneten Embolisaten…
The maxillary sinus plays an important role in the forensic identification of unknown deceased individuals. This study aimed to evaluate whether matching postmortem computed tomography (CT) images from virtual autopsies with antemortem CT examinations from a clinical database enables reliable identification…
Objectives: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of AI-assisted biparametric MRI (AI-bpMRI) in detecting prostate cancer (PCa) as a possible replacement for multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) depending on readers’ experience. Methods: This fully crossed, multireader multicase, single-centre, consecutive study…
Abstract Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common and serious organ manifestation in patients with connective tissue disease (CTD), but it is uncertain whether there is a difference in ILD between symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. Therefore, we conducted a study to evaluate differences in the…
The interrelation between acute ischemic stroke, persistent disability, and uncertain prognosis underscores the need for improved methods to predict clinical outcomes. Traditional approaches have largely focused on analysis of clinical metrics, lesion characteristics, and network connectivity, using…

Background: Rapid and accurate exclusion of COVID-19 pneumonia is essential to prevent disease spread. AI tools have shown promise in detecting CT findings, helping alleviate pressure on medical resources during the pandemic. Purpose: To compare the diagnostic performance of radiologists at different…
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), characterized by hypovascularity, hypoxia, and desmoplastic stroma is one of the deadliest malignancies in humans, with a 5-year survival rate of only 7%. The anatomical location of the pancreas and lack of symptoms in patients with early onset of disease accounts…
Ein 69-jähriger Patient mit einer seropositiven erosiven rheumatoiden Arthritis (RA) stellte sich aufgrund einer progredienten Dyspnoe in unserer Klinik vor. Im Rahmen der Diagnostik wurden mittels einer hochauflösenden Computertomographie (HRCT) und einer immunologischen bronchoalveolären Lavage Milchglastrübungen…
With the increasing use of next-generation sequencing, highly effective targeted therapies have been emerging as treatment options for several cancer types. Recurrent gene-fusions have been recognized in sarcomas; however, options for targeted therapy remain scarce. Here, we describe a case of a sarcoma,…
Purpose During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, hospitals still face the challenge of timely identification of infected individuals before inpatient admission. An artificial intelligence approach based on an established clinical network may improve prospective pandemic preparedness.…
Abstract Background Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) is an increasingly used guideline-based imaging modality for oncological and non-oncological pathologies during childhood and adolescence. While diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), a part of WB-MRI, enhances image interpretation and improves…
Abstract Background Patients with cirrhosis and ascites (and portal hypertension) are at risk of developing acute kidney injury (AKI). Although many etiologies exist, hepatorenal AKI (HRS-AKI) remains a frequent and difficult-to-treat cause, with a very high mortality when left untreated. The standard…
Lung involvement is the most common and serious organ manifestation in patients with inflammatory rheumatic disease (IRD). The type of pulmonary involvement can differ, but the most frequent is interstitial lung disease (ILD). The clinical manifestations of IRD-ILD and severity can vary from subclinical…
