Bottom line:
LI-RADS TRA v2024 with ancillary MRI features improves detection of viable HCC post LRT (especially post TACE) while preserving specificity.
A meaningful step toward improved post-treatment HCC assessment. 📚

One important nuance:
Although MRI + ancillary features improved accuracy, interobserver agreement was actually lower on MRI than CT.
Likely because diffusion restriction and T2 hyperintensity are inherently more subjective in the post-treatment setting.
#RadInTraining term close-out. Deeply grateful for an inspiring term with our brilliant team, outstanding leadership of @VChernyakMD, and intensive reviewer training. More than happy to continue as Deputy Editor from 7/2026. #RIT meetings are truly one of my absolute highlights🌟

New prospective dosimetry data comparing ⁹⁰Y-resin, ⁹⁰Y-glass& ¹⁶⁶Ho-PLLA microspheres across multiple roles in real workflow.

12/13 Practical mitigation tips:
• For ⁹⁰Y-resin: optimize portioning/assembly/application efficiency
• Use distance tools (e.g., long tweezers)
• Training + standardized workflow
• Shielding where feasible (acrylic shielding used in prep)
