Reply to Letter to the Editor: Targeted and non-targeted liver biopsies actually carry the same risk of ‘severe complication’
We thank our esteemed colleagues for their valuable comment. Our study aimed at reappraising the rate of and the risk factors for complications of percutaneous ultrasound-guided liver biopsy, comparing targeted and non-targeted biopsies [1]. We concluded that,...Letter to the Editor: “Targeted and non-targeted liver biopsies carry the same risk of complication”
Dear Editor, We have read with great interest the publication by Maheux A et al [1] regarding the complication rates of targeted and non-targeted liver biopsies. The authors, in contrast to most previous studies [2, 3], conclude that there is no significant difference...
Infrared imaging and breast cancer detection
In a continuous effort to increase the detection rate of breast cancer, infrared imaging offers an interesting perspective in addition to mammography. Article: Does three-dimensional functional infrared imaging improve breast cancer detection based on digital...
Coronary CTA: don’t forget to look around for extracardiac lesions
Among patients undergoing CTA, many have incidentally detected lesions. Some of them may well explain the symptoms. Article: Extracardiac findings on coronary computed tomography angiography in patients without significant coronary artery disease Authors: Philipp...
Medical students are not so anxious about AI
This survey among students shows that juniors welcome AI and believe that it will induce important changes in daily practice; however, they are not afraid of being replaced by the machines. Article: Medical students’ attitude towards artificial intelligence: a...Letter to the Editor: “Observer variability for Lung-RADS categorisation of lung cancer screening CTs: impact on patient management”
Dear Editor, We had read carefully the paper from doctors Sarah J. van Riel, Colin Jacobs, Ernst Th. Scholten, Rianne Wittenberg, Mathilde M. Winkler Wille, Bartjan de Hoop, Ralf Sprengers, Onno M. Mets, Bram Geurts and Mathias Prokop, Observer variability for...
MRI gets closer to genomics in prostate cancer
Defining which prostate cancers are potentially aggressive and provide early metastases is essential for patient management. It seems that visibility with MRI is a prognostic predictor. Article: Correlation between MRI phenotypes and a genomic classifier of prostate...
How Artificial Intelligence looks at images
AI does not mimic humans, but learns from humans. It has its own traps, like over-fitting. We need to learn how AI “thinks” and share the same “PICO” approach. Article: Demystification of AI-driven medical image interpretation: past, present and future Authors: Peter...
