Open AccessSample size calculation for data reliability and diagnostic performance: a go-to review
Sample size, namely the number of subjects that should be included in a study to reach the desired endpoint and statistical power, is a fundamental concept of scientific research. Indeed, sample size must be p...

Open AccessShort term outcome of myocarditis and pericarditis following COVID-19 vaccines: a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging study
To evaluate clinical and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) short-term follow-up (FU) in patients with vaccine-associated myocarditis, pericarditis or myo-pericarditis (VAMP) following COVID-19 vaccination. We r...

Open AccessThe predictive role of right ventricular late gadolinium enhancement in patients with tetralogy of Fallot undergoing pulmonary valve replacement
Our purpose was to evaluate the correlations between right ventricular (RV) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) at cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in patients with tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) scheduled for pulmon...

Article
Open AccessPotential role of epicardial adipose tissue as a biomarker of anthracycline cardiotoxicity
We investigated the radiodensity of epicardial (EAT), subcutaneous (SAT), and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) before and after treatment with anthracyclines in a population of breast cancer (BC) patients, and in...

Feature tracking myocardial strain analysis in patients with bileaflet mitral valve prolapse: relationship with LGE and arrhythmias
Anatomical substrate and mechanical trigger co-act in arrhythmia’s onset in patients with bileaflet mitral valve prolapse (bMVP). Feature tracking (FT) may improve risk stratification provided by cardiac magne...

Open AccessDynamic changes of mitral valve annulus geometry at preprocedural CT: relationship with functional classes of regurgitation
We investigated mitral valve annular geometry changes during the cardiac cycle in patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) who underwent cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) prior to percutaneo...

Open AccessMachine learning applied on chest x-ray can aid in the diagnosis of COVID-19: a first experience from Lombardy, Italy
We aimed to train and test a deep learning classifier to support the diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) using chest x-ray (CXR) on a cohort of subjects from two hospitals in Lombardy, Italy.

Open AccessLean body weight versus total body weight to calculate the iodinated contrast media volume in abdominal CT: a randomised controlled trial
Iodinated contrast media (ICM) could be more appropriately dosed on patient lean body weight (LBW) than on total body weight (TBW).

Article
Open AccessComputed tomography-derived myocardial extracellular volume: an early biomarker of cardiotoxicity in esophageal cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy
We aimed to assess extracellular volume (ECV) through non-gated, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) before and after radiation therapy (RT) in patients with esophageal cancer (EC).

Image quality of hip MR arthrography with intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid versus gadolinium-based contrast agent in patients with femoroacetabular im**ement
To compare image quality of magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) of the hip with intra-articular injection of high-viscosity hyaluronic acid (HA-MRA) versus Gd-based contrast agent (Gd-MRA) in patients with f...

Open AccessImage quality of late gadolinium enhancement in cardiac magnetic resonance with different doses of contrast material in patients with chronic myocardial infarction
Contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is pivotal for evaluating chronic myocardial infarction (CMI). Concerns about safety of gadolinium-based contrast agents favour dose reduction. We assessed im...
