Summary: This study retrospectively assessed the incidence of pelvic insufficiency fractures (PIF) in patients with uterine carcinomas after carbon-ion radiotherapy and found associations between clinical and dosimetric parameters with PIF incidence. The results provided specific pelvic regions and factors associated with PIF occurrence, contributing to further improvement of carbon-ion radiotherapy for uterine carcinomas.

Summary: According to the latest ESUR guidelines, T2WI and DWI-MR sequences are fundamental for initial staging, treatment response assessment, and evaluation of recurrence in cervical cancer, while contrast-enhanced MRI (CE-MRI) remains optional. This systematic review aims to provide an overview of the literature regarding CE-MRI in cervical cancer. However, no strong evidence was found suggesting that CE-MRI is helpful in any clinical setting for cervical cancer staging and detection of tumor recurrence.

Summary: Acute pelvic pain requires urgent medical evaluation and the differential diagnosis is broad, including various gynecologic and non-gynecologic causes. Imaging, particularly ultrasound and CT, plays a crucial role in the fast and accurate diagnosis of APP. Radiologists need to be familiar with the possible causes and choose the best imaging strategy based on clinical presentation and laboratory findings to establish a fast and accurate diagnosis.

Summary: The study investigated the feasibility and outcomes of laparoscopic PE and LEER for previously irradiated recurrent cervical cancer. Results showed that laparoscopic PE had lower operation time and blood loss compared to LEER, with higher disease-free and overall survival rates, indicating that laparoscopic PE is an effective treatment option.

Summary: This article describes a case of radiation-induced necrosis in a patient with advanced cervical cancer after receiving concurrent chemoradiation. The case highlights the importance of surgery in treating complications, with laparoscopy being an ideal approach for diagnosis and therapeutic procedures.

Summary: This study identified risk factors for pelvic insufficiency fracture (PIF) after radiotherapy for cervical cancer and investigated its incidence rate. The results suggest that age is a significant risk factor for PIF, and PET/MRI can detect PIF earlier than PET/CT imaging.

Summary: In the management of cervical cancer, low-risk patients can achieve favorable local control with de-escalated treatment intensity. Factors such as tumor reduction ratio, tumor size, and total treatment time can be used to identify these low-risk patients.

Summary: Reduced field-of-view diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) shows high diagnostic accuracy in assessing bladder mucosal invasion of cervical cancer, potentially improving the staging accuracy of MRI. This could be helpful in avoiding unnecessary cystoscopy with high negative and positive predictive values.

Summary: Imaging evaluation is crucial for ovarian cancer treatment planning, but variation in terminology can lead to ambiguity. A collaborative project developed a lexicon for CT and MR imaging, aiming to improve clarity and consistency in reporting disease sites. The lexicon includes 6 major categories of terms to enhance reporting accuracy.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the relationship between radiation dose and lymph node control or gastrointestinal toxicity in node-positive cervical cancer patients. Results showed that radiation dose >5040 cGy was associated with improved lymph node control in patients with nodes >= 2 cm, but not significantly in all patients. Dose escalation did not lead to increased gastrointestinal toxicity.

Summary: This study followed 135,743 postmenopausal women for 17.7 years and found that postmenopausal women with pelvic cancer, especially those who received pelvic radiation, have a higher risk of pelvic fracture and overall mortality. This suggests that prevention of pelvic fractures should be emphasized in pelvic cancer survivors, in addition to cancer treatment.

Summary: This study aimed to apply four popular methods of sCT creation to male and female anorectal and gynecological neoplasms for MRI-only planning, showing high dosimetric agreement across all methods. The choice of sCT generation technique can be guided by department resources and image guidance considerations, with minimal impact on dosimetric accuracy.

Summary: The initial experience of using a 1.5 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) linear accelerator (LINAC) for prostate cancer radiotherapy in a radiation oncology clinic was reported. The study evaluated various treatment parameters and toxicities. The results suggested that MRI-guided prostate radiotherapy is safe and feasible, but further studies with larger sample sizes and long-term results are needed for better evaluation.

Summary: The study aimed to differentiate between spinal subchondral bone metastasis with focal pathologic endplate fracture and oedematous Schmorl's nodes using imaging findings. Sclerotic margin and enhancement on the opposite endplate were significantly different between the two conditions, suggesting that these features can help distinguish between them. Decreased disc height may also be a useful indicator for distinguishing oedematous Schmorl's nodes from subchondral bone metastasis with focal pathologic endplate fractures.

Summary: This study investigated the prognostic significance of body mass index in small-cell lung cancer and whether skeletal muscle status affects the body mass index-survival relationship. The results showed that being underweight is an independent poor prognostic factor for shorter overall survival in Asian patients with small-cell lung cancer, regardless of skeletal muscle status.

Summary: Texture features using T1-weighted images are correlated with fat fraction and differ significantly between Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease patients and volunteers. Standard deviation and entropy are positively correlated with fat fraction, while skewness and kurtosis are inversely correlated. CMT patients exhibit higher texture feature values compared to volunteers, and there is good intraobserver agreement.
