To enable more individualised treatment of endometrial cancer, improved methods for preoperative tumour characterization are warranted. Texture analysis is a method for quantification of heterogeneity in images, increasingly reported as a promising diagnostic tool in oncological imaging, but largely unexplored in endometrial cancer AIM: To explore whether tumour texture features from preoperative computed tomography (CT) are related to known prognostic histopathological features and to outcome in endometrial cancer patients. ⋯ CT texture analysis yields promising imaging markers in endometrial cancer and may supplement other imaging techniques in providing a more refined preoperative risk assessment that may ultimately enable better tailored treatment strategies.

To develop and validate an individualised radiomics-clinical nomogram for the prediction of the isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutation status in primary glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) based on radiomics features and clinical variables. ⋯ A radiomics-clinical nomogram was developed and proved to be valuable in the non-invasive, individualised prediction of the IDH1 mutation status in patients with primary GBM. The nomogram can be applied using clinical conditions to facilitate preoperative patient evaluation.

To understand the impact of COVID-19 on radiology trainee experience and well-being. ⋯ The first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on training and well-being. Lessons learnt from this report should help prepare for a second-wave of COVID-19 or future pandemics.

Comparative Study
Lung ultrasonography in patients with COVID-19: comparison with CT.
To determine whether findings from lung ultrasound and chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) correlate when evaluating COVID-19 pulmonary involvement. ⋯ The present study suggests that among COVID-19 patients, lung ultrasound and HRCT findings agree in quantifying lung involvement and oxygen parameters. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, lung ultrasound could be a relevant alternative to chest HRCT.
