Summary: Although rs-EPI DWI has inferior lesion visibility compared to DCE-MRI, it can detect about 90% of breast lesions identified by DCE-MRI and has comparable diagnostic capacity to that of DCE-MRI in distinguishing breast cancer.

Summary: This study systematically evaluated and meta-analyzed the diagnostic accuracy of cone-beam breast computed tomography (CBBCT) and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) for characterizing breast cancers. The results demonstrated that DBT outperformed CBBCT in all estimated diagnostic parameters.

Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine the threshold for iodine quantification to distinguish between non-enhancing benign renal lesions and potential enhancing masses on portal venous dual-layer spectral computed tomography (CT), in order to reduce the need for additional multiphase CT. By analyzing the data, thresholds for non-enhancing lesions and enhancing masses were determined, which can help doctors make diagnoses and reduce unnecessary examinations.

Summary: This article discusses the importance of human body temperature in disease diagnosis, introduces the application of thermography technology, and the role of machine learning in this field. Thermal photography can detect inflammation and blockage areas before visible symptoms of diseases occur, providing a better approach to medical testing.

Summary: This study found that in females diagnosed with breast cancer, localized temperatures of cancerous breast lesions were significantly warmer than their contralateral breasts, while generalized temperatures over cancerous breasts were not significantly warmer.

Summary: The study found that immune cell infiltration in the tumor microenvironment was higher in primary HER2+ breast cancer compared to metastatic sites, with higher levels of immune activation markers. Metastatic sites, particularly brain metastases, had lower Tumor Inflammation Signature (TIS) scores. Brain metastases had less immune infiltration overall, but areas with high immune infiltration in the stromal compartment had similar levels of T cells, which were less activated than in primary breast tumor stromal regions, suggesting immune exclusion in the tumor epithelium.

Summary: The study compared the performance of abbreviated breast MRI (AB-MRI) and full diagnostic MRI (FD-MRI) in distinguishing between benign and malignant lesions. AB-MRI showed lower sensitivity but higher specificity compared to FD-MRI, with some discrepancies in lesion characterization possibly related to suspicious margins or internal enhancement.

Summary: This study reviewed the outcomes of breast cancer screening using both digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and screening ultrasound (US). The detection rates of DBT and US were similar, with US detecting mainly invasive cancers and DBT detecting mainly in situ carcinoma. There were significant differences in lesion characteristics between DBT and US.

Summary: This study compared the ability of the O-RADS and ADNEX models to classify benign or malignant adnexal lesions. The results showed that the O-RADS classification was comparable to the ADNEX model and had higher sensitivity at the 10% cutoff value. Additionally, the quick-access O-RADS flowchart was found to be helpful in categorization and could shorten the analysis time.

Summary: This study compared the IRO/shift test and the Jobe test for diagnosing supraspinatus lesions and found that both tests had similar sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. This provides evidence for the use of the IRO/shift test as an alternative clinical assessment for supraspinatus lesions.

Summary: The study evaluated the accuracy of two ELISA tests for detecting Treponema antibodies associated with digital dermatitis in Norwegian dairy cattle herds. Both tests were able to detect the antibodies, but did not achieve satisfactory sensitivity without compromising specificity. Inspection at claw trimming in a chute remains necessary for surveillance and control of digital dermatitis at the herd level in Norway.

Summary: This study evaluated focal multiple myeloma bone lesions using dual-energy CT-based virtual noncalcium (VNCa) bone marrow imaging in relation to the overall hematological disease status and MRI findings. The results showed that VNCa attenuation measurement allows differentiation between active and inactive disease, with higher attenuation indicating a higher likelihood of active disease.
