The role of MRCP in characterizing ductal communication and high-risk features in pancreatic cystic lesions.

Pancreatic cystic lesions are increasingly detected due to the widespread use of high-resolution cross-sectional imaging, particularly MRI and CT. The reported prevalence of incidental pancreatic cysts is 2% to 13% on CT and 20% to 45% on MRI, reflecting improved imaging sensitivity and an aging population. While most cysts are benign, mucinous lesions such as intraductal papillary mucinous neopla...

Artificial intelligence in small tissue biopsies: diagnostic applications, histochemical integration, and methodological challenges in surgical pathology.

Small tissue biopsies, including renal core biopsies, bone marrow trephines, gastrointestinal endoscopic samples, prostate needle cores, liver biopsies, and skin punch or shave specimens, are fundamental to contemporary diagnostic pathology. Their limited volume, focal sampling, and susceptibility to technical artifacts impose distinct interpretive challenges, often requiring semi-quantitative ass...

Use of artificial intelligence in analysis of endoscopic images to detect residual disease or regrowth in rectal patients with complete clinical response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.

BACKGROUND: Patients with rectal cancer who have a complete clinical response (cCR) to neoadjuvant chemo/radiotherapy (nCRT) may opt for organ preserv...
