Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Refining the criteria for immediate total-body CT after severe trauma.
Initial trauma care could potentially be improved when conventional imaging and selective CT scanning is omitted and replaced by immediate total-body CT (iTBCT) scanning. Because of the potentially increased radiation exposure by this diagnostic approach, proper selection of the severely injured patients is mandatory. ⋯ • Selection criteria for iTBCT can be reduced to 10 clinically useful criteria. • This reduces radiation exposure in 36% of less severely injured patients. • Overall discriminative capacity for selection of severely injured patients remained equal.

Multicenter Study
Preoperative CT-based radiomics combined with intraoperative frozen section is predictive of invasive adenocarcinoma in pulmonary nodules: a multicenter study.
Develop a CT-based radiomics model and combine it with frozen section (FS) and clinical data to distinguish invasive adenocarcinomas (IA) from preinvasive lesions/minimally invasive adenocarcinomas (PM). ⋯ • A CT-based radiomics model may be a valuable tool for preoperative prediction of invasive adenocarcinoma for patients with pulmonary nodules. • Radiomics combined with frozen sections could help in guiding surgery strategy for patients with pulmonary nodules.
