Summary: This study analyses visitors' experiences at Lapland's Joulupukin Pajakyla, a legend-based setting, in order to reveal the elements that constitute a legend-based experience. The findings provide an understanding of how people interact with a real person acting as a legendary figure within a legendary and realistic environment. This study contributes to interdisciplinary discussions in socio-psychology, business, design, art/folklore, and tourism, particularly regarding the relationship between legend-based settings and visitors.

Summary: The Hands-on Radiology summer school aimed to improve radiology knowledge and interest among undergraduate medical students. A questionnaire survey was conducted to analyze the effectiveness of a radiological hands-on course in reaching and motivating students. The results showed that the overall rating was 9.47 on a 10-point scale, knowledge level increased, and the majority of students expressed increased interest in radiology specialization, preferring onsite teaching and residents as teachers.

Summary: Although AI-powered tools may change the way radiologists work, they will not replace them completely. Radiologists have unique advantages in multidisciplinary and patient-centered consulting tasks. To adapt to this trend, training for radiologists should focus on clinical backgrounds, communication skills, and integration with other disciplines.

Summary: A paradigm shift is occurring in cancer diagnosis and therapy with radiopharmaceuticals. This strategy involves using diagnostic imaging to measure tumor uptake of radioactive agent X to select patients for therapy with radioactive agent Y. X-Y pairs, known as radiotheranostics, are being evaluated for intra-arterial dosing to enhance tumor targeting and improve imaging and therapy. Clinical trials are underway to assess these new therapeutic approaches, including the use of alpha-particle therapy with short-lived radioisotopes.

Summary: Stakeholders generally believe that AI can enhance radiology practice and view the replacement of radiologists as unlikely. Most stakeholders express the need for education and training on AI, as well as collaborative efforts to enhance AI implementation. Further research is required to obtain perspectives from non-Western countries, non-radiologist stakeholders, on economic considerations, and medicolegal implications.

Summary: This study investigated the progression of pubofemoral distance (PFD) with age and its correlation with late acetabular index (AI). The results showed that PFD increased significantly at different time points and was positively correlated with AI. The cutoff values for abnormal PFD may need to be adjusted according to the patient's age.

Summary: The coronavirus pandemic has led to virtual interviews for radiology fellowships, and this practice will continue for the 2022 application season. While there are publications on virtual radiology residency recruitment, there is a lack of research on the parallel process for fellowships, which affects the majority of US radiology residents. This commentary highlights the benefits, challenges, and solutions of virtual radiology fellowship recruitment to stimulate discussion and future planning.

Summary: Breast cancer is a common malignancy worldwide. Cryoablation has emerged as a promising alternative for the treatment of early-stage breast cancer. This minimally invasive technique offers a safe and effective option with comparable oncological outcomes to traditional treatments, while minimizing invasiveness and preserving breast aesthetics.

Summary: This study investigates the view of clinicians on diagnostic radiology and its future. The majority of clinicians recognized the value of medical imaging in improving patient outcomes and expect an increase in its utilization in the coming 10 years, as well as the need for diagnostic radiologists. Additionally, they do not think that AI will make radiologists redundant.

Summary: Given the coexistence of aggressive tumor and chronic liver disease, a multidisciplinary team is needed for the management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Imaging plays a vital role in the diagnosis and monitoring of HCC. Radiomics, an emerging field, extracts quantitative features from medical imaging to predict histology, treatment response, genetic signature, recurrence, and survival in HCC. However, there are challenges and limitations that need to be addressed before implementing radiomics in clinical practice.

Summary: This study aimed to characterize thyroid nodules seen on Spectral Detector computed tomography (SDCT) and compare them with their Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS) category on Ultrasound (US). The results showed that the spectral results of SDCT can assist in differentiating thyroid nodules of different risk levels.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations between cardiac magnetic resonance feature-tracking-derived myocardial strain parameters and volumetric function and hemodynamic parameters in patients with pulmonary hypertension. The results showed that impairment of myocardial strains was more strongly associated with alterations in ventricular function parameters than elevated pulmonary arterial pressure, limiting the diagnostic information of myocardial strain parameters in pulmonary hypertension.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the imaging characteristics and prognostic factors for the long-term survival of Behcet's disease (BD) with arterial involvement. The results showed that arterial lesions associated with BD usually involve multiple arteries and manifest differently in different types of arteries. Cardiac involvement and pulmonary artery aneurysm/dilation were independent prognostic factors for the survival of BD patients with arterial involvement.

Summary: The ability of pretreatment PET parameters and peripheral blood biomarkers to predict PFS and OS in NSCLC patients treated with ICIT was assessed. The study found that MTV and the number of SOI were independent risk factors for progression and overall survival, and the combination of these factors improved risk stratification.

Summary: This study investigated the potential of tin prefiltration and virtual monoenergetic imaging (VMI) in suppressing metal artifacts in high-resolution CT images of the lower extremities. The results showed that VMI reconstructions had better artifact reduction compared to T3D. VMI110keV had the least image noise. In terms of image quality, interpretability of bone-metal interface, and overall image quality, VMI110keV performed the best.

Summary: This study aimed to develop CT radiomics models to preoperatively identify lymph node (LN) status in resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients. The results showed that the combined model, integrating ESCC and LN radiomics features with clinical features, had the highest predictive ability among the three models. The combined model's predictive ability was validated in both the test and external validation cohorts.
