Background: Adrenal lipid poor adenoma (LPA) and adrenocortical cancer (ACC) may overlap in computerized tomography (CT). Radiomics recently emerged as new tool for malignant behavior identification.Aim: To assess radiomics utility for identification of ACC and LPA in adrenocortical masses with unenhanced (UE) CT scan attenuation≥10 Hounsfield Unit (HU).Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 50 patients, 38 radiologically defin...

Computerized tomography (CT) texture analysis (TA) provides a valuable amount of quantitative data on single voxels and their relationship in a target lesions, giving additional value to the CT scan. CTTA has been applied to several oncologic diseases. We aimed to correlate the data derived from CTTA of pheochromocytoma to clinical, biochemical and histopathological data in 30 consecutive patients. Pheochromocytoma was confirmed at histology. The CTTA was performed on unenhanc...

Introduction: There is no clear indication for radioiodine treatment (RAI) in patients affected by differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) in Stage I and ATA intermediate risk, according to American Thyroid Association (ATA) guidelines.Purpose: Our aim is to evaluate whether integration of BRAF status and thyroglobulin TSH-stimulated at the time of RAI (A-HTg) could further improve accuracy of stratification, and therefore therapeutic management, in DTC pati...
