Used for over two decades and supported by extensive studies and meta-analyses, CTC has demonstrated performance comparable to that of optical colonoscopy (OC). However, CTC remains generally underutilized in many countries, including the United States of America; in contrast, in some countries, such as the United Kingdom, it is widely used. CTC requires bowel preparation with laxative and fecal contrast-agent tagging, followed by colonic distension with low-pressure, automated, CO<sub>2</sub> insufflation. It enables detailed image analysis with postprocessing software and is highly sensitive and specific for detecting cancers and significant benign precursors ≥ 10 mm (adenomatous and sessile-serrated polyps) years before potential malignant transformation. After reviewing the state of the art of CTC acquisition, analysis and reporting, we wrote this article to update the new, potential and emerging CTC indications. CTC is increasingly used after incomplete OC, for undetermined colonic anomalies, in elderly and/or fragile patients or when OC is refused. Recent routine clinical use has broadened CTC's applications, proving its usefulness in local colon-cancer staging, preoperative laparoscopic surgery planning, and selecting patients with severe diverticular disease for elective sigmoidectomy. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: Beyond its excellent performance in detecting advanced adenomas and cancers, CTC provides precise staging of locally advanced tumors, guiding decisions on neoadjuvant therapy, and coupled with contrast-enhanced thoracic-abdominal-pelvic acquisition, enables comprehensive, preoperative evaluation for laparoscopic colectomy. KEY POINTS: CT colonography (CTC) and optical colonoscopy (OC) are similarly able to detect advanced adenomas (≥ 10 mm) and early-stage colorectal cancer.

This prompts the EuroSafe Imaging campaign to conduct a survey assessing current practices, perceptions, and challenges related to DRLs. A total of 146 responses were collected from radiology departments in 38 countries, predominantly in the EU/EEA region. While 52.4% reported established local DRLs, significant gaps were identified, with 34.5% lacking local DRLs and 13.1% unaware of their existence. DRLs were primarily established for computed tomography (CT) (88.7%) and conventional radiography (77.5%), with lower implementation in interventional radiology (36.6%). Key challenges included time constraints, data collection difficulties, and limited standardization across institutions. Education gaps were notable, with less than half of the respondents reporting DRL-related training for radiology residents. Respondents emphasized the need for dose management systems, personalized DRLs based on clinical indications, and enhanced education and policy support. Addressing barriers through targeted training, policy enhancements, and technological innovations can improve DRL implementation. Future efforts should focus on promoting standardized clinical protocols, increasing awareness, and fostering European and international collaboration to ensure the consistent use and optimization of DRLs in clinical practice. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: The article critically examines the variability and challenges in implementing diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) across European radiology departments, providing actionable recommendations on policy, education, and technological advancements to optimize radiation protection and improve clinical radiology practices. Diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) help healthcare providers ensure that radiation doses from medical imaging, like CT scans and X-rays, are not higher than necessary. This study looked at how DRLs are used across Europe. It found that while many hospitals have established and follow DRLs, others do not, which may affect patient safety. Challenges like time constraints and lack of training prevent better use of DRLs. Improving education for medical staff and updating protocols can help protect patients by reducing unnecessary radiation exposure while still ensuring accurate diagnoses. KEY POINTS: Variability persists in diagnostic reference level (DRL) practices across Europe. Over half of radiology departments have established local DRLs. Less than half of radiology residents receive structured DRL training. Improved DRL adoption can optimize radiation protection and patient safety. Collaboration, training, and standardized protocols are essential for better DRL practices.</p>","PeriodicalId":13639,"journal":{"name":"Insights into Imaging","volume":"16 1","pages":"156"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12274150/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144659132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All the cases were histopathologically or clinically confirmed bone lesions, or \"do not touch\" lesions with typical appearance and remained stable for at least two years. Each lesion with gender, age, and clinical history was categorized according to the Bone-RADS algorithm by two musculoskeletal radiologists and two non-musculoskeletal radiologists. The Bone-RADS categories were as follows: Bone-RADS-1, likely benign, leave alone; Bone-RADS-2, incompletely assessed on imaging, perform different imaging modality; Bone-RADS-3, intermediate, perform follow-up imaging; Bone-RADS-4, suspicious for malignancy or need for treatment, biopsy and/or oncologic referral. Inter-reader agreement was evaluated. The diagnostic performance of the Bone-RADS-MRI was measured for distinguishing intermediate or malignant lesions or osteomyelitis from benign lesions. The histopathology results, clinical diagnosis, or follow-up were used as a standard reference.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>There were 165 intermediate or malignant lesions or osteomyelitis, and 110 benign lesions, respectively. The inter-reader agreements between two musculoskeletal and between two non-musculoskeletal radiologists were both moderate (weighted kappa 0.572 and 0.520). The diagnostic performance for identifying intermediate or malignant lesions or osteomyelitis ranged according to radiologists with sensitivities of 88.5% to 94.5%, specificities of 55.5% to 74.5%, and accuracies of 76.4% to 82.9%.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Bone-RADS-MRI is effective for identifying bone lesions that need further treatment, but it has only moderate reliability for readers with different specialties and experience.</p><p><strong>Critical relevance statement: </strong>With local and public databases, Bone-RADS-MRI has been demonstrated to be a reliable algorithm for musculoskeletal and non-musculoskeletal radiologists with varying experience and an effective tool for identifying incidental solitary bone lesions that \"need treatment\" in adults.</p><p><strong>Key points: </strong>Bone-RADS-MRI needs clinical validation for inter-reader agreement and diagnostic performance. Bone-RADS-MRI achieved moderate agreements between musculoskeletal and non-musculoskeletal radiologists, respectively.
