    Abstract Objective: This study analyzes the potential cost-effectiveness of integrating an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted system into the differentiation of incidental renal lesions as benign or malignant on MR images during follow-up.
    Materials and methods: For estimation of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) and lifetime costs, a decision model was created, including the MRI strategy and MRI + AI strategy. Model input parameters were derived from recent literature. Willingness to pay (WTP) was set to $100,000/QALY. Costs of $0 for the AI were assumed in the base-case scenario. Model uncertainty and costs of the AI system were assessed using deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analysis.
    Results: Average total costs were at $8054 for the MRI strategy and $7939 for additional use of an AI-based algorithm. The model yielded a cumulative effectiveness of 8.76 QALYs for the MRI strategy and of 8.77 for the MRI + AI strategy. The economically dominant strategy was MRI + AI. Deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analysis showed high robustness of the model with the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER), which represents the incremental cost associated with one additional QALY gained, remaining below the WTP for variation of the input parameters. If increasing costs for the algorithm, the ICER of $0/QALY was exceeded at $115, and the defined WTP was exceeded at $667 for the use of the AI.
    Conclusions: This analysis, rooted in assumptions, suggests that the additional use of an AI-based algorithm may be a potentially cost-effective alternative in the differentiation of incidental renal lesions using MRI and needs to be confirmed in the future.
    Clinical relevance statement: These results hint at AI's the potential impact on diagnosing renal masses. While the current study urges careful interpretation, ongoing research is essential to confirm and seamlessly integrate AI into clinical practice, ensuring its efficacy in routine diagnostics.
    Key points: • This is a model-based study using data from literature where AI has been applied in the diagnostic workup of incidental renal lesions. • MRI + AI has the potential to be a cost-effective alternative in the differentiation of incidental renal lesions. • The additional use of AI can reduce costs in the diagnostic workup of incidental renal lesions.

    Abstract Background: In patients with liver cirrhosis, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) displays an effective method for treating portal hypertension. Main indications include refractory ascites and secondary prevention of esophageal bleeding. Color Doppler ultrasound (CDUS) plays a leading role in the follow-up management, whereas contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is not routinely considered. We compared the efficacy of CEUS to CDUS and highlighted differences compared to findings of corresponding computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). (2) Methods: On a retrospective basis, 106 patients with CEUS examination after TIPS were included. The enrollment period was 12 years (between 2008 and 2020) and the age group ranged from 23.3 to 82.1 years. In addition, 92 CDUS, 43 CT and 58 MRI scans were evaluated for intermodal comparison. (3) Results: Intermodal analysis and comparison revealed a high level of concordance between CDUS, CT and MRI in the vast majority of cases. In comparison to CDUS, the correlation of the relevant findings was 92.5%, 95.3% for CT and 87.9% for MRI. In some cases, however, additional information was provided by CEUS (4) Conclusions: CEUS depicts a safe and effective imaging modality for follow-up after TIPS. In addition to CDUS, CEUS enables specific assessment of stent pathologies and stent dysfunction due to its capacity to dynamically visualize single microbubbles at high spatial and temporal resolution. Due to the low number of adverse events regarding the application of contrast agents, CEUS can be administered to a very broad patient population, thus avoiding additional radiation exposure compared to CT angiography in cases with divergent findings during follow-up.

    Abstract MR-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) is an effective method for treating symptomatic uterine fibroids, especially solitary lesions. The aim of our study was to compare the clinical and morphological outcomes of patients who underwent MR-HIFU due to solitary fibroid (SF) or multiple fibroids (MFs) in a prospective clinical trial. We prospectively included 21 consecutive patients with SF (10) and MF (11) eligible for MR-guided HIFU. The morphological data were assessed using mint Lesion™ for MRI. The clinical data were determined using the Uterine Fibroid Symptom and Quality of Life (UFS-QOL) questionnaire before and 6 months after treatment. Unpaired and paired Wilcoxon-test and

    Abstract Background: Chest radiographs (CXRs) are still of crucial importance in primary diagnostics, but their interpretation poses difficulties at times.
    Research question: Can a convolutional neural network-based artificial intelligence (AI) system that interprets CXRs add value in an emergency unit setting?
    Study design and methods: A total of 563 CXRs acquired in the emergency unit of a major university hospital were retrospectively assessed twice by three board-certified radiologists, three radiology residents, and three emergency unit-experienced nonradiology residents (NRRs). They used a two-step reading process: (1) without AI support (woAI); and (2) with AI support (wAI) providing additional images with AI overlays. Suspicion of four suspected pathologies (pleural effusion, pneumothorax, consolidations suspicious for pneumonia, and nodules) was reported on a five-point confidence scale. Confidence scores of the board-certified radiologists were converted into four binary reference standards (RFS I-IV) of different sensitivities. Performance by radiology residents and NRRs woAI/wAI were statistically compared by using receiver-operating characteristics (ROCs), Youden statistics, and operating point metrics derived from fitted ROC curves.
    Results: NRRs could significantly improve performance, sensitivity, and accuracy wAI in all four pathologies tested. In the most sensitive RFS IV, NRR consensus improved the area under the ROC curve (mean, 95% CI) in the detection of the time-critical pathology pneumothorax from 0.846 (0.785-0.907) woAI to 0.974 (0.947-1.000) wAI (P < .001), which represented a gain of 30% in sensitivity and 2% in accuracy (while maintaining an optimized specificity). The most pronounced effect was observed in nodule detection, with NRR wAI improving sensitivity by 53% and accuracy by 7% (area under the ROC curve woAI, 0.723 [0.661-0.785]; wAI, 0.890 [0.848-0.931]; P < .001). The RR consensus wAI showed smaller, mostly nonsignificant gains in performance, sensitivity, and accuracy.
    Interpretation: In an emergency unit setting without 24/7 radiology coverage, the presented AI solution features an excellent clinical support tool to nonradiologists, similar to a second reader, and allows for a more accurate primary diagnosis and thus earlier therapy initiation.

    Abstract For evaluating unclear tumorous lesions, contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) is an important imaging modality in addition to contrast-enhanced computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, and may provide valuable insights into the microvascularization of tumors in dynamic examinations. In interventional procedures, CEUS can make a valuable contribution in pre-, peri-, and post-interventional settings, reduce radiation exposure and, under certain circumstances, decrease the number of interventions needed for patients.
