To investigate the potential role of an additional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination performed during neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (CRT) in the prediction of pathological response in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). ⋯ MidMRI allows final response assessment to neoadjuvant CRT earlier and better than the MRI performed after the end of CRT. MRI findings at midMRI may be useful to tailor patient treatment.

To investigate the differential diagnosis value of preoperative computed tomography (CT) features between pre/minimally invasive and invasive adenocarcinoma in pulmonary mixed ground glass nodules (mGGNs). ⋯ Nodule mass and volume were significant differentiators of pre/minimally invasive adenocarcinoma from invasive adenocarcinoma in mGGN, and mass had a higher differential diagnosis value.
