Open DOI
Fully automated diaphragm segmentation on routine 2D-cine and 3D thoracic MRI: multireader validation
Objective: The diaphragm is central to respiratory mechanics and may be impaired in various diseases. Parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessment is limited by time-consuming manual segmentation. We developed and validated ful...

Open DOI
Fluent but not fail-safe: machine-translated radiology reports still need expert review
Objectives: Cross-border care, teleradiology, and international referral pathways increasingly require radiology report translation, but isolated mistranslations may alter clinical meaning. We evaluated German-to-English machine translat...

Open DOI
Automated thigh muscle segmentation using foundation models: validation and impact of segmentation quality
Objectives: This study aimed to validate a segmentation pipeline for the extraction of volumetric thigh muscle data, investigate the influence of demographics on segmentation performance, and investigate the influence of low-quality segm...

Open DOI
Comparison of two automated PGMI-based software tools for breast positioning quality assessment in DBT screening
Objective: Automated “Perfect/Good/Moderate/Inadequate” (PGMI)-based tools have been developed to standardize breast positioning quality assessment, but their agreement remains uncertain. This study compared two automated software system...

Phase-adaptive automated whole-liver quantification of signal intensity-derived liver indices from gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI
Objectives: To develop and validate a phase-adaptive pipeline for automated whole-liver, parenchyma-based quantification of signal intensity-derived liver indices from gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI without inter-phase co-registration. Mate...

Open DOI
Evaluation of iodine detection and quantification limits in photon-counting CT—a phantom study
Objective: Clinical decisions using CT iodine maps are based on evaluation of contrast enhancement, making it essential to understand how accurately CT systems detect and quantify iodine, yet quantitative evaluations remain scarce, and f...

Open DOI
CT-based multi-station lymph-node radiomics for preoperative prediction of lymph node metastasis in colorectal cancer: a proof-of-concept comparison with primary-tumor radiomics
Objective: Accurate preoperative prediction of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in colorectal cancer remains challenging using conventional CT assessment. This proof-of-concept study compared CT-based multi-station lymph-node radiomics with p...

Beyond radiotheranostics: how imaging modality defines theranostics
Theranostics integrates diagnostic imaging and therapy within a single platform, enabling image-guided treatment delivery, real-time monitoring, and therapeutic optimization. The choice of imaging modality fundamentally shapes the design...

Open DOI
Bridging radiomics and histopathology: cross-modality consistency of radiomic features from CT to micro-CT in NSCLC
Objective: Radiomics extracts quantitative features from medical images that may provide non-invasive biomarkers of tumor biology and heterogeneity. However, few studies have explored radiomics on micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) or ...

Optimization of PET acquisition time for thoracic lesions in 18F-FDG PET/MRI: a retrospective analysis
Objective: This study aimed to define the minimum positron emission tomography (PET) acquisition time for chest PET/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), providing image quality and lesion detectability comparable to a 20-min reference. Mate...
