Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate imaging and clinical features of colorectal liver metastases complicated with macroscopic intrabiliary growth, and correlate the unusual pattern of spread with treatment and follow-up.Methods: A retrospective analysis of the clinical, imaging and follow-up files of all patients with surgically resected colorectal liver metastases from January 2016 to October 2020 was reviewed to identify those with macroscopic intrabiliary growth. Two radiologists evaluated the radiological features of colorectal liver metastasis with macroscopic intrabiliary growth. Read More

Objective: There is no standardized approach to the treatment of pediatric antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (ped-AAV). Because of the rarity of ped-AAV, randomized trials have not been feasible. The Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) developed consensus treatment plans (CTPs) for severe ped-AAV to enable the future study of comparative effectiveness and safety.

Background And Purpose: Patient selection for intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT), using comparative photon therapy planning, is workload-intensive and time-consuming. Pre-selection aims at avoidance of manual IMPT planning for patients that are in the end ineligible. We investigated the use of machine learning together with automated IMPT treatment planning for pre-selection of head and neck cancer patients, and validated the methodology for the Dutch model based selection (MBS) approach.
