In a comparative study of staging systems for hepatocellular carcinoma, the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) system offered the highest likelihood ratio (LR) and lowest Akaike information criteria (AIC) for predicting overall survival after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma.

In a comparison of contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (CET1w) MRI (and T2-weighted MRI/FLAIR imaging, researchers found that only three out of 82 cases of glioma progression were solely detected with CET1w MRI.

A deep learning-enhanced ultra-fast bpMRI protocol offered similar sensitivity for csPCa as mpMRI with an 80 percent reduction in scan time, according to research findings presented at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) conference.
