Abstract

This letter to the editor critically appraises the study by Luo et al. While the study provides valuable insights into imaging-pathology correlations in pancreatic cancer, we identify several opportunities for enhancing its clinical relevance. Notably, the exclusion of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging limits the study's diagnostic scope, as these modalities offer superior capabilities in differentiating benign from malignant lesions and assessing metabolic tumor activity. Additionally, the retrospective, cross-sectional design restricts the potential for dynamic insights into disease progression. We also highlight the untapped potential of radiomics-based analyses, which could significantly improve diagnostic accuracy and prognostic assessments. We recommend integrating these advanced imaging modalities, adopting longitudinal study designs, and leveraging radiomics approaches in future research to enhance the diagnostic frameworks in pancreatic cancer imaging.

加强胰腺癌影像学诊断框架:一项关键评估。
这封给编辑的信对罗等人的研究进行了批判性的评价。虽然该研究为胰腺癌的影像学病理相关性提供了有价值的见解,但我们确定了几个增强其临床相关性的机会。值得注意的是,排除磁共振胰胆管造影和正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描成像限制了研究的诊断范围,因为这些方式在区分良性和恶性病变以及评估代谢肿瘤活性方面具有优越的能力。此外,回顾性、横断面设计限制了对疾病进展动态洞察的潜力。我们还强调了基于放射组学的分析尚未开发的潜力,它可以显著提高诊断准确性和预后评估。我们建议整合这些先进的成像方式,采用纵向研究设计,并在未来的研究中利用放射组学方法来增强胰腺癌成像的诊断框架。
