Purpose To compare the diagnostic accuracy of additional bone marrow fat maps with that of DECT with BME maps and MRI for pedal osteomyelitis detection. Materials and Methods In this prospective study, thirty-one participants with clinically suspected osteomyelitis of the mid- and forefoot underwent noncontrast DECT (80 kV/140 kV) and MRI between October 2020 and February 2022. With image postprocessing, DECT-derived BME and fat maps were generated. Four independent readers evaluated 3 different image sets for osteomyelitis: DECT and BME maps (set 1); DECT, BME maps and fat maps (set 2); and MRI (set 3). Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were calculated for each image set, with clinical and microbiological data as the reference standards. In a subanalysis, the DECT BME map, DECT fat map and DECT erosion map were analyzed for their accuracy in predicting bone marrow fat loss at T1-weighted MRI. Results Of the 31 participants included in the study (mean age, 61.7 years ±14.6 [SD]; 21 males) 17 (55%) had osteomyelitis. Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for detecting osteomyelitis were 47% (8/17), 79% (11/14), and 61% (19/31) (set 1); 77% (13/17), 86% (12/14) and 81% (25/31) (set 2); and 82% (14/17), 93% (13/14) and 87% (27/31) (set 3), respectively. Thirty-one of 661 individual bones (0.5%) showed bone marrow fat loss on T1-weighted MRI; in the subanalysis, DECT fat map specificity was higher than that of the DECT BME map for predicting bone marrow fat loss in individual bones (97% (612/630) vs. 89% (560/630)) (P<.001). Conclusion Pedal osteomyelitis detection with novel DECT-derived fat map imaging in addition to DECT and BME maps was accurate.

However, the relationship between neuroimaging markers, the cumulative severity of injury, and long-term symptoms has not previously been well-established in the literature. Purpose To determine the relationship between the frequency of blast injuries, persistent clinical symptoms, and related cortical volumetric and functional connectivity (FC) changes observed at brain MRI in special operations forces members. Materials and Methods A cohort of 220 service members from a prospective study between January 2021 and May 2023 with a history of repetitive blast exposure underwent psychodiagnostics and a comprehensive neuroimaging evaluation, including structural and resting-state functional MRI (fMRI). Of these, 212 met the inclusion criteria. Participants were split into two datasets for model development and validation, and each dataset was divided into high- and low-exposure groups based on participants' exposure to various explosives. Differences in FC were analyzed using a general linear model, and cortical gray matter volumes were compared using the Mann-Whitney <i>U</i> test. An external age- and sex-matched healthy control group of 212 participants was extracted from the SRPBS Multidisorder MRI Dataset for volumetric analyses. A multiple linear regression model was used to assess correlations between clinical scores and FC, while a logistic regression model was used to predict exposure group from fMRI scans. Results In the 212 participants (mean age, 43.0 years ± 8.6 [SD]; 160 male [99.5%]) divided into groups with low or high blast exposure, the high-exposure group had higher scores for the Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory (NSI) (<i>t</i> = 3.16, <i>P</i> < .001) and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for <i>Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders</i> (Fifth Edition) (PCL-5) (<i>t</i> = 2.72, <i>P</i> = .01). FC differences were identified in the bilateral superior and inferior lateral occipital cortex (LOC) (<i>P</i> value range, .001-.04), frontal medial cortex (<i>P</i> < .001), left superior frontal gyrus (<i>P</i> < .001), and precuneus (<i>P</i> value range, .02-.03). Clinical scores from NSI and PCL-5 were inversely correlated with FC in the LOC, superior parietal lobule, precuneus, and default mode networks (<i>r</i> = -0.163 to -0.384; <i>P</i> value range, <.001 to .04). The high-exposure group showed increased cortical volume in regions of the LOC compared with healthy controls and the low-exposure group (<i>P</i> value range, .01-.04). The predictive model helped accurately classify participants into high- and low-exposure groups based on fMRI data with 88.00 sensitivity (95% CI: 78.00, 98.00), 67% specificity (95% CI: 53.00, 81.00), and 73% accuracy (95% CI: 60.00, 86.00).

To standardize the use of US-guided thermal ablation for T1N0M0 PTC, a panel of experts jointly issued this expert consensus on thermal ablation for PTC.

The consensus was developed through extensive discussions, systematic literature review with meta-analysis, and expert evaluations. In this consensus, a total of 27 recommendations are made, addressing the indications and contraindications for thermal ablation for PTC, physician training, preoperative preparation, technical procedures, complications, efficacy assessment, and follow-up strategies.
