ATI showed high intra- and inter-observer reproducibility in the assessment of hepatic steatosis.

A high MoRAL score of >68 was significant a predictive factor of tumour recurrence after RFA for very-early/early-stage HCC. Moreover, it might be warranted to evaluate EM in patients with high baseline MoRAL scores.

S-Shearwave Imaging demonstrated excellent intra- and inter-observer repeatability, and a strong correlation with pSWE measurements of liver stiffness. However, because of the significant difference between LSMs obtained using 2D-SWE and pSWE, these methods should not be used interchangeably.

The aMRI-BH provided high sensitivity and negative predictive value to evaluate malignant IPMNs by using predetermined criteria, and aMRI-BH might be a potential tool for pancreatic IPMN surveillance with significantly lower acquisition time.

Combination of CECT, PET and CA 19-9 increased area under the curve and sensitivity for determining resectability, compared to CECT alone, without compromising the specificity. Furthermore, ¹⁸F-FDG avidity at tumor-vessel contact on post-NAT PET predicted RFS.

Screening thyroid US exhibited a good diagnostic performance, with a feasible social cost of use. This modality demonstrated significant differences in sonographic features between screening-detected cancer and benign nodules.

PET/MRI may add value to CECT in patients with biliary tract cancer both in the initial workup for staging and determination of overall resectability and in follow-up for local recurrence.

• Automated organ segmentation enables the extraction of CT attenuation-based parameters for the target organ. • Volumetric liver and spleen CT attenuation-based parameters are highly accurate in hepatic steatosis assessment. • Automated CT measurements from pre- or post-contrast imaging show promise for hepatic steatosis screening in large cohorts.
