Background and purpose: The use of Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI) for radiotherapy (RT) planning for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA NSCLC) could improve RT precision due to its superior soft tissue def...

Abstract Background This study aims to characterize the clinicopathological and immunophenotypic profile of calcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) occurring in the thoracic cavity, and to elucidate its key diagnostic features fo...

Abstract Background Thoracic surgery involves complex diseases and critically ill patients, demanding doctors to integrate solid theoretical knowledge with practical skills. Clinical medical students, however, often stru...

Background and purpose: The use of Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI) for radiotherapy planning and guidance for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA NSCLC) is novel. The superior soft tissue definition of MRI c...

Abstract Multi-label chest X-ray classification faces three critical challenges: (i) inadequate modeling of inter-pathology dependencies despite clinical co-occurrence patterns, (ii) severe class imbalance (11.2−47.6...

Abstract Background Evidence regarding optimal treatment duration in dogs with aspiration pneumonia (AP) and the role of thoracic radiographs (TXR) and lung ultrasonography (LUS) in the long‐term follow‐up of affecte...

Background: The curvature of the aortic arch is associated with the risk of endoleak formation after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). However, the adequate assessment of the angles of the aorta continues to r...

Background and purpose: Artificial intelligence-based contouring tools enable assessment of radiation doses to cardiac substructures beyond mean heart dose. This study examined inter-solution variations in raw contours a...

Abstract Background Lung cancer surgery in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is frequently challenged by late-stage presentation, high comorbidity burden, and limited healthcare resources. Although video-assisted ...

Traumatic pneumatocele (TP) is a rare, benign pulmonary lesion that primarily affects children and young adults following blunt chest trauma. We present the case of a 16-yearold male judo athlete who developed persiste...

Background/purpose: In pectus excavatum (PE) patients owing to the location of the heart in the chest cavity, the most affected site of compression by the depressed chest wall is the right heart, and surgical repair has ...

Abstract Vestigial muscles like the sternalis and axillary arch muscles are rare anatomical variations with important surgical implications. Though often asymptomatic, they can impact imaging interpretation and surgical ...

Abstract Background The spine is an uncommon metastatic location from thyroid cancer. Here, we describe our experience with spinal cord compression as presentation of metastatic thyroid carcinoma, including surgical mana...

Abstract Background Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare, slow-growing, benign soft tissue tumor typically located under the scapula. Although elastofibroma dorsi is a benign lesion, it may cause symptoms such as pain and restr...

Background and purpose: Dose summation in thoracic reirradiation is challenging due to anatomical changes and limitations of rigid image registration. Deformable image registration offers improved accuracy but requires c...
