Dragi čitatelji Radiološkog Vjesnika,

Prvo izdanje Radiološkog vjesnika u 2025. godini, baš kao i sezona virusa i gripe u zimi koja je upravo iza nas, podsjeća na važnost radiološke obrade infektivnih bolesti dišnog sustava.

Iako je COVID-19 pandemija iza nas, koronavirus kao i virus gripe su se pokazali kao vrlo aktualan, pa i vrlo ozbiljan zdravstveni problem krajem 2024. i početkom 2025. godine.

Na tom tragu, u ovom broju Vjesnika vrlo zanimljivi članci nas podsjećaju na suvremene dijagnostičke mogućnosti kao i na dostupnost radiološke dijagnostike u vrijeme epidemije te rad sa imunokompromitiranim pacijentima. Tu je sada neizostavno i korištenje dubokih neuronskih mreža i umjetne inteligencije u dijagnostičkoj obradi infekcija, ali i sve naglašenija potreba za korištenjem dubokog učenja u dijagnostici, interpretaciji i evaluaciji malignih bolesti. Kroz ovo nas sve vode izvorni znanstveni radovi, pregledi dostupne literature i stručni članci, koji nadalje daju i uvid u korištenje magnetske rezonancije u dijagnostici određenih onkoloških bolesti, a potom i u planiranju i provođenju radioterapije, za sve skupine pacijenata i one najmlađe, u pedijatrijskoj onkologiji.

Sa zadovoljstvom najavljujemo i neka stručna događanja koja su pred nama u ovoj godini, poput Radionice Hrvatskog društva radiološke tehnologije – OKRT 9 u prvoj i 6. Kongresa radiološke tehnologije u drugoj polovici godine.

U ime Uredničkog odbora Radiološkog vjesnika,

A word from the Editor

Dear readers of Radiological Journal,

The first issue of the Radiological Journal in 2025, much like the flu season in the winter that is just behind us, reminds us of the importance of radiological treatment of infectious diseases of the respiratory system.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic is behind us, the coronavirus and the influenza virus have proven to be very current, and even a very serious health problem at the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025.

Along these lines, in this issue of the Journal, very interesting articles remind us of modern diagnostic capabilities as well as the availability of radiological diagnostics during the epidemic and work with immunocompromised patients. The use of deep neural networks and artificial intelligence in the diagnostic treatment of infections is now indispensable, but also the increasingly pronounced need for the use of deep learning in the diagnosis, interpretation and evaluation of malignant diseases. We are guided through all of this by original scientific papers, reviews of available literature and professional articles, which also provide insight into the use of magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of certain oncological diseases, as well as in the planning and delivery of radiation therapy, for all groups of patients, including the youngest, in paediatric oncology.

We are very pleased to announce some professional events that are ahead of us this year, such as the Workshop of the Croatian Association of Radiation Technology – QART 9 in the first, and the 6th Congress of Radiological Technology in the second half of the year.

On behalf of the Editorial Board of the Radiological Journal,

Tatjana Matijaš
