AI-based quantitative imaging analysis offers a fast and reliable method for automatic segmentation of abdominal adipose tissue compartments, potentially improving the assessment standards of disease risk and outcomes. Manual segmentation of imaging data may be inefficient, while AI has the capability to extract data from CT and MR images, providing crucial information for physicians.
Body composition imaging relies on assessment of tissues composition and distribution. Quantitative data provided by body composition imaging analysis have been linked to pathogenesis, risk, and clinical outcomes of a wide spectrum of diseases, including cardiovascular and oncologic. Manual segmentation of imaging data allows to obtain information on abdominal adipose tissue; however, this procedure can be cumbersome and time-consuming. On the other hand, quantitative imaging analysis based on artificial intelligence (AI) has been proposed as a fast and reliable automatic technique for segmentation of abdominal adipose tissue compartments, possibly improving the current standard of care. AI holds the potential to extract quantitative data from computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) images, which in most of the cases are acquired for other purposes. This information is of great importance for physicians dealing with a wide spectrum of diseases, including cardiovascular and oncologic, for the assessment of risk, pathogenesis, clinical outcomes, response to treatments, and complications. In this review we summarize the available evidence on AI algorithms aimed to the segmentation of visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue compartments on CT and MR images.

Advanced CT Imaging, Radiomics, and Artificial Intelligence to Evaluate Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors' Effects on Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma

Federico Greco, Bruno Beomonte Zobel, Gianfranco Di Gennaro, Carlo Augusto Mallio

Summary: Advances in understanding the oncogenesis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) have resulted in the development of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), improving clinical outcomes for patients with metastatic RCC (mRCC). Our literature search identified studies in RECIST criteria, radiomics and artificial intelligence, atypical response patterns, and body composition. These studies provide novel data that aim to enhance patient management and clinical outcomes, further supporting the concept of precision medicine. Radiomics and artificial intelligence can non-invasively obtain data that is not visible to the naked eye, offering potential advantages for predicting treatment response and personalized therapeutic approaches. This literature review focuses on the role of computed tomography (CT) in evaluating and predicting the effects of ICIs on mRCC patients using radiomics and artificial intelligence.

Radiological Features of B3 Lesions in Mutation Carrier Patients: A Single-Center Retrospective Analysis

Claudia Lucia Piccolo, Carlo Augusto Mallio, Laura Messina, Manuela Tommasiello, Paolo Orsaria, Vittorio Altomare, Matteo Sammarra, Bruno Beomonte Zobel

Summary: This study evaluated the radiological features of B3 lesions in patients with genetic mutations to establish an anatomo-radiological correlation. BRCA1 was the most frequent mutation followed by ATM and BRCA2. LN and FEA showed the highest malignancy correlation. Mammography revealed microcalcifications in 90.5% of lesions, ultrasound detected hypoechoic lesions, and breast MRI detected mass enhancement. DWI and kinetic curves significantly correlated with the risk of cancer. The high malignancy rate suggests surgical excision of B3 lesions.

Visceral adiposity in patients with lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum

Carlo A. Mallio, Gianfranco Di Gennaro, Federico Greco, Andrea Pescosolido, Caterina Bernetti, Claudia Lucia Piccolo, Vitaliano Buffa, Carlo C. Quattrocchi, Bruno Beomonte Zobel

Summary: This retrospective study discovered an association between lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum (LHIS) and visceral adiposity using CT imaging. The study also found that visceral adipose tissue and total adipose tissue were predictors of LHIS area. These findings are important for early identification of LHIS patients at risk for visceral obesity and implementing lifestyle interventions.

Adverse Effects of Immune-Checkpoint Inhibitors: A Comprehensive Imaging-Oriented Review

Carlo Augusto Mallio, Caterina Bernetti, Laura Cea, Andrea Buoso, Massimo Stiffi, Daniele Vertulli, Federico Greco, Bruno Beomonte Zobel

Summary: Immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are immunomodulatory monoclonal antibodies that enhance the host's anti-tumor immune response and promote T-cell-mediated actions against tumors. However, they can cause immune-related adverse events (irAEs), mainly affecting the skin, gastrointestinal, hepatic, and endocrine systems. Early diagnosis of irAEs is crucial for proper management and treatment adjustments. This review aims to provide guidance on recognizing the significant radiological findings of irAEs based on incidence, severity, and the role of imaging.
