Despite the challenges in visually interpreting radiomic features and the computational resources required to generate them, they hold significant value in downstream automated processing. For instance, in statistical or machine learning frameworks, radiomic features enhance sensitivity and specificity, making them indispensable for tasks such as diagnosis, prognosis, prediction, monitoring, image-guided interventions, and evaluating therapeutic responses. This review explores the application of radiomics in neurodegenerative diseases, with a focus on Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis. While radiomics literature often focuses on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), this review also covers its broader application in nuclear medicine, with use cases of positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) radiomics. Additionally, we review integrated radiomics, where features from multiple imaging modalities are fused to improve model performance. This review also highlights the growing integration of radiomics with artificial intelligence and the need for feature standardisation and reproducibility to facilitate its translation into clinical practice.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10695,"journal":{"name":"Clinical radiology","volume":"85 ","pages":"Article 106921"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143885557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review serves as a primer for interventional radiologists, providing an overview of commonly used LAs and practical tips for their implementation. With its quick onset time and moderate duration of action, the amide lidocaine is the most used and applicable to a variety of procedures such as biopsies and embolization. In contrast, bupivacaine and ropivacaine (both amides) have longer durations of action, and are therefore suitable for lengthy procedures and pain control post-procedurally. Procaine, an ester, may be used in cases of amide anaesthetic allergies. This review examines the clinical applications of LAs in radiology and management of their adverse effects including local anaesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) and allergic reactions. It concludes with a discussion of LAST, emphasising techniques for early intervention and management. The role of lipid emulsion therapy and modifications to the advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) protocol are highlighted, including a discussion of other aspects such as airway management. By presenting the latest strategies to manage LAST and adverse effects, this research aims to help standardise anaesthetic management in radiology. It provides actionable steps for selecting and injecting anaesthetics, and management of complications that will be beneficial for interventional radiologists performing a diverse array of procedures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10695,"journal":{"name":"Clinical radiology","volume":"85 ","pages":"Article 106917"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143882295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
