Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Technological advancements continue to play a crucial role in the evolution of diagnostic and interventional radiology and in clinical practice. New trends and future research directions are increasingly developing and progressively changing the traditional working methods of radiologists worldwide. Most recent innovations could rapidly give birth to newer and more modern diagnostic and interventional radiological guidelines. Artificial intelligence, radiomics, augmented reality, innovative imaging technologies (spectral CT, functional MRI), new reconstruction software, fusion imaging, new contrast agents (CO2) to minimize the nephrotoxicity of iodinated contrast agents in endovascular procedures, innovative guidance systems and new combined approaches using technologically advanced devices (micro-balloons) in interventional oncology are just some of the topics that will be highlighted in this Special Issue. We welcome the submission of papers addressing technological advancements and innovations in diagnostic, interventional and experimental radiology capable of changing clinical practice (as well as preclinical activity with translational perspectives) authored by expert radiologists.  Following the success of the First Edition of “Technological Advancements and Clinical Innovations in Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/342F2TID0N), the Second Edition of this Special Issue is announced here to continue to welcome authors to submit papers on technological advancements and innovations in diagnostic and interventional radiology for this Special Issue.

This narrative review evaluates the current role of interventional radiology in the diagnosis and treatment of parathyroid disorders. In patients with biochemically confirmed hyperparathyroidism but inconclusive or discordant preoperative localization imaging, image-guided interventions can help establish a diagnosis that can alter management. This review outlines the current diagnostic and therapeutic modalities for the study of parathyroid pathology from the interventional radiologist’s perspective, highlighting novel techniques and their growing clinical adoption. The combination of ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy and measurement of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in the needle washout fluid can improve diagnostic specificity by providing biochemical evidence of parathyroid tissue. This is particularly useful for lesions that are difficult to differentiate from thyroid nodules or cervical lymph nodes based solely on imaging characteristics. Despite this, no widely accepted cut-off washout PTH level has yet been established. Due to the differences in assay techniques and laboratory procedures, results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical findings and concomitant biochemical parameters. Ultrasound-guided thermal ablation techniques, especially radiofrequency and microwave ablation, have recently been reported as minimally invasive alternatives or adjuvants to surgery in appropriately selected patients. Evidence supporting parathyroid embolization is limited, but it may be considered a potential salvage option for persistent or recurrent disease. Given that most of the current evidence is derived from retrospective case series, multicenter prospective studies for technical standardization and long-term outcomes evaluation are clearly needed.

Ocular Color Doppler ultrasound (OCDUS) has been underutilized in the past as a diagnostic technique, although several OCDUS-based studies were performed in the last 30 years for diagnosis or monitoring of some ophthalmological, cerebrovascular or systemic diseases. OCDUS can provide quantitative and reproducible measurements of the blood flow of the main orbital vessels at the retrobulbar level. In this narrative review we aimed to investigate the relevance of OCDUS as an imaging modality in several ophthalmological, cerebrovascular and systemic diseases based on the current literature.
