Materials and Methods This retrospective single-center study included patients with thyroid nodules diagnosed as Bethesda category III (atypia of undetermined significance) at fine-needle aspiration biopsy and with negative eight-gene testing results who were treated with US-guided microwave ablation (MWA) between July 2020 and September 2023. Incidence of complications, technical success rate (TSR), volume reduction rate (VRR), nodule recurrence, and thyroid function were evaluated over a follow-up period of 2 years. Data before and after MWA were compared using variance analysis and the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel χ² test. Results A total of 101 Bethesda III nodules were detected in 95 patients (mean ± SD age, 47.08 years ±14.63; 79 female patients, 16 male patients), all of which were completely ablated (100% TSR). Two patients experienced mild neck swelling and pressure sensation after the minimally invasive operation, and the incidence of postoperative complications was 2% (two of 95). None of the patients experienced tumor recurrence or progression. At 2-year follow-up, the mean VRR of the ablated area was 90.88% ± 13.59 in 15 patients; 87% (13 of 15) of these patients had a 100% VRR. There was no evidence of a difference in thyroid function before and after MWA from 1 to 24 months (<i>P</i> = .15-.99). Conclusion US-guided MWA was safe and effective for the treatment of Bethesda III thyroid nodules with negative eight-gene panel testing results. <b>Keywords:</b> Ablation Techniques, Radiation Therapy/Oncology, Head/Neck, Thyroid, Safety, Observer Performance Published under a CC BY 4.0 license.</p>","PeriodicalId":20786,"journal":{"name":"Radiology.

Materials and Methods ¹⁸F-FLT PET imaging was analyzed in a prospective pilot study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier no.

The current standard-of-care techniques for performing these minimally invasive procedures require providers to navigate a needle to their intended target using two-dimensional (2D) US or CT to obtain complete local response. These traditional image-guidance systems require operators to mentally transpose what is visualized on a 2D screen into the inherent three-dimensional (3D) context of human anatomy. Advanced navigation systems designed specifically for percutaneous needle-based procedures often fuse multiple imaging modalities to provide greater awareness and planned needle trajectories for the avoidance of critical structures. However, even many of these advanced systems still require mental transposition of anatomy from a 2D screen to human anatomy. Augmented reality (AR)-based systems have the potential to provide a 3D view of the patient's anatomy, eliminating the need for mental transposition by the operator. The purpose of this article is to review commercially available advanced percutaneous surgical navigation platforms and discuss the current state of AR-based navigation systems, including their potential benefits, challenges for adoption, and future developments. <b>Keywords:</b> Computer Applications-Virtual Imaging, Technology Assessment, Augmented Reality, Surgical Navigation, Percutaneous Ablation, Interventional Radiology ©RSNA, 2025.</p>","PeriodicalId":20786,"journal":{"name":"Radiology.

Materials and Methods This retrospective study included 1607 MRI scans of 1143 male patients (median age, 64 years; IQR, 59-68 years) undergoing MRI for suspicion of clinically significant PCa (csPCa) (International Society of Urological Pathology grade > 1) between January 2012 and May 2022 who were negative for csPCa at baseline MRI. A DL model was developed using baseline MRI and clinical parameters (age, prostate-specific antigen [PSA] level, PSA density, and prostate volume) to predict the time to PCa progression (defined as csPCa diagnosis at follow-up). Internal and external testing was performed. The model's ability to predict progression to csPCa was assessed by Cox regression analyses. Predictive performance of the DL model up to 5 years after baseline MRI in comparison with the European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) future-risk calculator, Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT) risk calculator, and Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) was assessed using the Harrell C-index. Optimized follow-up intervals were derived from Kaplan-Meier curves. Results DL scores predicted csPCa progression (internal cohort: hazard ratio [HR], 1.97 [95% CI: 1.61, 2.41; <i>P</i> < .001]; external cohort: HR, 1.32 [95% CI: 1.14, 1.55; <i>P</i> < .001]). The model identified a subgroup of patients (approximately 20%) with risks for csPCa of 3% or less, 8% or less, and 18% or less after 1-, 2-, and 4-year follow-up, respectively. DL scores had a C-index of 0.68 (95% CI: 0.63, 0.74) at internal testing and 0.56 (95% CI: 0.51, 0.61) at external testing, outperforming ERSPC and PCPT (both <i>P</i> < .001) at internal testing.

Materials and Methods In this prospective clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov registration no. NCT03585660), 91 male participants (mean age, 65 years ± 8 [SD]) with known or suspected prostate cancer underwent 3-T MRI with a conventional mpMRI protocol and HM-MRI followed by subsequent biopsy between August 2018 and March 2023. Using the HM-MRI tool, tissue composition was calculated using a three-compartment model, and suspected prostate cancer regions with elevated epithelium (>40%) and reduced lumen (<20%) meeting the minimum size requirement of 25 mm² were identified. Up to two additional biopsy targets per participant were automatically selected with the HM-MRI tool in addition to the biopsy targets selected based on an expert radiologist's mpMRI interpretation (≥PI-RADS 3) using an MRI/US fusion biopsy device. Additional 12-core transrectal US-guided sextant random biopsy cores were also obtained. Detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (≥Gleason 3+4) was compared between HM-MRI and mpMRI by calculating area under the receiver operating characteristic curve and diagnostic accuracy metrics. Results The diagnostic performance of HM-MRI was either higher than mpMRI or showed no evidence of a difference when compared with mpMRI. On a per-participant basis, HM-MRI had significantly higher accuracy (55% vs 44%; <i>P</i> = .02) and specificity (36% vs 14%: <i>P</i> = .002) than mpMRI. On a per-lesion basis, HM-MRI had significantly higher accuracy (58% vs 39%; <i>P</i> < .001) and positive predictive value (31% vs 22%; <i>P</i> = .004) compared with mpMRI. Only one lesion was missed when using the combination of mpMRI and HM-MRI. On a per-sextant basis, HM-MRI showed significantly better performance than mpMRI for all metrics, including primary end points of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (0.76 vs 0.65; <i>P</i> < .001) and accuracy (83.9% vs 79.0%; <i>P</i> = .006). Conclusion This study demonstrates that HM-MRI has the potential to improve MRI/US fusion biopsy results for prostate cancer detection by providing complementary information to PI-RADS-based evaluation by expert radiologists. <b>Keywords:</b> Prostate Cancer, Hybrid Multidimensional MRI, Multiparametric MRI, PI-RADS Clinical trial registration no.

Materials and Methods This retrospective study included patients undergoing MWA of CRLM from October 2014 to February 2018. Two independent readers visually assessed pre- and postprocedure images and semiquantitatively scored for incomplete ablation, using a six-point Likert scale, and extracted quantitative imaging metrics of minimal ablative margin (MAM) and percentage of tumor outside of the ablation zone, using both rigid and deformable registration. Diagnostic accuracy and intra- and interobserver agreement were assessed. Results The study included 60 patients (median age, 71 years [IQR, 60-74.5 years]; 38 male) with 97 tumors with a median diameter of 1.3 cm (IQR, 1.0-1.8 cm). Median follow-up time was 749 days (IQR, 330-1519 days). Median time to complete rigid and deformable workflows was 3.0 minutes (IQR, 3.0-3.2 minutes) and 14.0 minutes (IQR,13.9-14.4 minutes), respectively. MAM with deformable registration had the highest intra- and interobserver agreement, with Gwet AC1 of 0.92 and 0.67, respectively, significantly higher than interobserver agreement of visual assessment (Gwet AC1, 0.18; <i>P</i> < .0001). Overall, quantitative methods using MAM had generally higher sensitivity, of up to 95.6%, than visual methods (67.3%, <i>P</i> < .001), at a cost of lower specificity (40% vs 71.1%, <i>P</i> < .001), using deformable image registration.
