Summary: The pelvis phantom designed for MR-guided prostate interventions successfully mimics human anatomy and has realistic imaging properties for MRI, CT, and US. In a targeted inbore MR-guided biopsy, a prostate lesion was accurately hit with a 3.5 mm accuracy. The experiment highlighted the realistic limitation of rectum size for needle placements.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the diagnostic ability of physical examination (PE), transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) alone and combined for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). The results showed that MRI was more sensitive than PE, TVUS, or any combination for detecting DIE. Furthermore, the combination of PE, TVUS, and MRI was more accurate than each technique separately for diagnosing DIE.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of radiologist experience on the diagnostic performance of pelvic MRI for endometriomas and deep pelvic endometriosis (DPE). Results showed that even radiologists with up to 2 years of experience in female imaging had statistically inferior performance compared to experts in diagnosing DPE. The study concluded that interpretation of pelvic MRI for DPE should be performed by specialists.

Summary: The study evaluated the inter- and intraobserver variability of the updated #Enzian classification for endometriosis on MRI, as well as the influence of reader experience on interobserver concordance. The results showed that with sufficient experience, the #Enzian classification enables excellent inter- and intraobserver agreement in the MRI-based diagnosis of deep infiltrating endometriosis and endometriomas.

Summary: This study focuses on the automatic segmentation of head-and-neck and pelvis OARs using deep-learning methods on MRI images. The results show that the proposed method accurately segments the majority of OARs and achieves similar or superior performance compared to state-of-the-art models. The visual evaluation by clinicians also indicates that 81% of the auto-contours are clinically acceptable.

Summary: The study evaluated the accuracy of deformable image registration (DIR) between CT and MR images using different software, showing that most algorithms performed well in organ registration except for the bladder. The accuracy of DIR may vary depending on the sequence used and parameter settings.

Summary: This paper presents a dataset of pediatric CT images with expert contours of anatomical organ structures, aiming to assist in the evaluation and development of autosegmentation algorithms for pediatric CT imaging. The dataset can be applied in various fields such as radiation therapy, diagnostics, surgical planning, and patient-specific organ dose estimation.

Summary: Thoracic endometriosis (TE) is a rare form of endometriosis where endometrial tissue is found in or around the lungs, often presenting as catamenial pneumothorax (CP). Immunohistochemical evaluation is considered crucial for diagnosing and classifying the disease effectively.

Summary: The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of computed tomography-enterography (CTE) and magnetic resonance-enterography (MRE) in detecting right-sided bowel deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). The results showed that CTE and MRE have similar sensitivities and good specificity in diagnosing right-sided bowel DIE. Rating: 8 out of 10

Summary: The development of the avian pelvis is similar to the transition from non-avian dinosaurs to birds, indicating the retention of ancestral states during evolutionary transitions. Research has found that avian embryos possess many features of ancestral dinosaurs, providing evidence for phenotypic covariance within the pelvis in Archosauria.

Summary: The study found that radiologists tend to directly address the cause of pain in abdominopelvic CT reports when pain is included in the indication. However, patients with oncology-related indications and pain descriptors were less likely to have the cause of pain directly addressed. The complexity of impression was generally high, but higher in reports where pain was addressed.
