The findings sections of the reports were propagated to ChatGPT (GPT-3.5), which was instructed to determine LI-RADS scores for each classifiable liver lesion. Ground truth was established by two radiologists in consensus. Agreement between ground truth and ChatGPT was assessed with Cohen's kappa. Test-retest reliability was assessed by passing a subset of n = 50 lesions five times to ChatGPT, using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).205 MRIs from 150 patients were included. The accuracy of ChatGPT at determining LI-RADS categories was poor (53% and 44% on unstructured and structured reports). The agreement to the ground truth was higher (k = 0.51 and k = 0.44), the mean absolute error in LI-RADS scores was lower (0.5 ± 0.5 vs. 0.6 ± 0.7, p < 0.05), and the test-retest reliability was higher (ICC = 0.81 vs. 0.50), in free-text compared to structured reports, respectively, although structured reports comprised the minimum required imaging features significantly more frequently (Chi-square test, p < 0.05).ChatGPT attained only low accuracy when asked to determine LI-RADS scores from liver imaging reports. The superior accuracy and consistency throughout free-text reports might relate to ChatGPT's training process.Our study indicates both the necessity of optimization of LLMs for structured clinical data input and the potential of LLMs for creating machine-readable labels based on large free-text radiological databases.","PeriodicalId":507441,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Radiology","volume":" 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141676365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The following categories are presented in this study: ∙ MR-based treatment planning and synthetic CT generation techniques. ∙ Generation of synthetic CT images based on Cone Beam CT images. ∙ Low-dose CT to High-dose CT generation. ∙ Attenuation correction for PET images. To perform appropriate database searches, we reviewed journal articles published between January 2018 and June 2023. Current methodology, study strategies, and results with relevant clinical applications were analyzed as we outlined the state-of-the-art of deep learning based approaches to inter-modality and intra-modality image synthesis. This was accomplished by contrasting the provided methodologies with traditional research approaches. The key contributions of each category were highlighted, specific challenges were identified, and accomplishments were summarized. As a final step, the statistics of all the cited works from various aspects were analyzed, which revealed that DL-based sCTs have achieved considerable popularity, while also showing the potential of this technology. In order to assess the clinical readiness of the presented methods, we examined the current status of DL-based sCT generation.","PeriodicalId":507441,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Radiology","volume":"32 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140375520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The LA diastasis strain slope (LADSS), which spans between the passive and active LA emptying phases, may be a key indicator of the LA–LV interplay during diastole.This study aimed to investigate the LA–LV interdependencies in post-ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), with particular focus on the LADSS.Patients with post-anterior STEMI who received primary percutaneous coronary intervention underwent contrast cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during acute (5–9 days post-STEMI) and chronic (at 6 months) phases. The LADSS was categorized into three groups: Groups 1, 2, and 3 representing positive, flat, and negative slopes, respectively. Cross-sectional correlates of LADSS Group 2 or 3 compared to Group 1 were identified, adjusting for demographics, LA indices, and with or without LV indices. The associations of acute phase LADSS with the recovery of LV ejection fraction (LVEF) and scar amount were investigated.Sixty-six acute phase (86.4% male, 63.1 ± 11.8 years) and 59 chronic phase cardiac MRI images were investigated. The distribution across LADSS Groups 1, 2, and 3 in the acute phase was 24.2%, 28.9%, and 47.0%, respectively, whereas in the chronic phase, it was 33.9%, 22.0%, and 44.1%, respectively. LADSS Group 3 demonstrated a higher heart rate than Group 1 in the acute phase (61.9 ± 8.7 vs. 73.5 ± 11.9 bpm, p < 0.01); lower LVEF (48.7 ± 8.6 vs. 41.8 ± 9.9%, p = 0.041) and weaker LA passive strain rate (SR) (−1.1 ± 0.4 vs. −0.7 [−1.2 to −0.6] s−1, p = 0.037) in the chronic phase. Chronic phase Group 3 exhibited weaker LA passive SR [relative risk ratio (RRR) = 8.8, p = 0.012] than Group 1 after adjusting for demographics and LA indices; lower LVEF (RRR = 0.85, p < 0.01), higher heart rate (RRR = 1.1, p = 0.070), and less likelihood of being male (RRR = 0.08, p = 0.058) after full adjustment. Acute phase LADSS Groups 2 and 3 predicted poor recovery of LVEF when adjusted for demographics and LA indices; LADSS Group 2 remained a predictor in the fully adjusted model (β = −5.8, p = 0.013).The LADSS serves both as a marker of current LV hemodynamics and its recovery in post-anterior STEMI. The LADSS is an important index of LA–LV interdependency during diastole.https://clinicaltrials.gov/, identifier NCT03950310.","PeriodicalId":507441,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Radiology","volume":"10 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139957794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the study is to compare the results of transarterial radioembolization (TARE) as the first-line therapy and as a subsequent therapy following prior transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in these patients.A total of 83 patients were evaluated, with 38 patients having undergone at least one TACE session prior to TARE [27 male; mean age 67.2 years; 68.4% stage Barcelona clinic liver cancer (BCLC) B, 31.6% BCLC C]; 45 patients underwent primary TARE (33 male; mean age 69.9 years; 40% BCLC B, 58% BCLC C). Clinical [age, gender, BCLC stage, activity in gigabecquerel (GBq), Child–Pugh status, portal vein thrombosis, tumor volume] and procedural [overall survival (OS), local tumor control (LTC), and progression-free survival (PFS)] data were compared. A regression analysis was performed to evaluate OS, LTC, and PFS.No differences were found in OS (95% CI: 1.12, P = 0.289), LTC (95% CI: 0.003, P = 0.95), and PFS (95% CI: 0.4, P = 0.525).

In this paper, we review research from the last 5 years in applications of AI to multi-modal imaging. There have been many promising results in registration, segmentation, and fusion of different magnetic resonance imaging modalities with each other and computer tomography scans, but there are still many challenges that need to be addressed. Only a few papers have addressed modalities such as x-ray, echocardiography, or non-imaging modalities. As for prediction or classification tasks, there have only been a couple of papers that use multiple modalities in the cardiovascular domain.
