Measurement differences between observers on CT colonography were usually smaller than at optical colonoscopy. Polyps appeared larger when using various CT colonography techniques than when measured during optical colonoscopy.

A review article on the modified RECIST guideline http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3117472&cid=s_33428_37_f&fid=33428&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.springerlink.com%2Fcontent%2F563l6v4g6528848u%2F Abstract  The purpose of this review article is to familiarize radiologists with the recently revised Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST), used in many anticancer drug trials to assess response and progression rate. The most important modifications are: a reduction in the maximum number of target lesions from ten to five, with a maximum of two per organ, with a longest diameter of at least 10 mm; in lymph nodes (LNs) the short axis rather than the long axis should be measured, with normal LN measuring <10 mm, non-target LN ≥10 mm but <15 mm and target LN ≥15 mm; osteolytic lesions with a soft tissue component and cystic tumours may serve as target lesions; an additional requirement for progressive disease (PD) of target l...

An erroneous focus on the abdomen alone can easily lead to misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment. In cases of unexplained acute abdominal pain, radiologists should be aware of also viewing beyond the borders of the abdomen. The key to most of these thoracic diagnoses is detection of pulmonary consolidation, pleural fluid or pericardial fluid.

If applied to selected patients, it could be considered for the histological diagnosis of both primary and recurrent laryngo-hypopharyngeal masses.

The time of user interaction for one single slice could be reduced from 25 min for manual evaluation to less than 1 min using the automatic algorithm. This reduction may allow quantitative magnetic resonance perfusion imaging to become a routine clinical procedure.

In addition to ethanol-related changes to the brain, this article will also describe imaging findings in the acute setting of methanol and ethylene glycol poisoning. Alcohol will lead to brain atrophy, osmotic myelinolysis, Marchiafava–Bignami disease and, especially when related to malnutrition, may also cause Wernicke encephalopathy. Brain atrophy can be reversible if alcohol abuse is stopped. If not treated, Wernicke encephalopathy can lead to coma and death and an early diagnosis is important for immediate initiation of thiamine substitution. As clinical symptoms are often unspecific, th...

Transabdominal ultrasound showed multiple cystic formations. Due to the patient’s uncharacteristic symptoms, an exploratory laparotomy with tissue sampling was performed, and the diagnosis of LAM was confirmed by two independent pathologists. With computed tomography a broad abdominal, but no pulmonary, manifestation could be established. During sirolimus therapy the patient showed clinical benefit, but only slight progress in computed tomography.

Methods  The BD stents need to be loaded into a conventional pull-back delivery system but are then placed in a standard fashion. Pre-dilatation should be avoided to reduce the risk of migration, however if migration occurs the stents can be left to dissolve in the stomach. The stents are radiolucent but easily identified on CT with minimal artefact and thus might even aid with radiotherapy planning.

However, regional calcium distribution and specific patterns of calcification are correlated with stenosis and non-calcified plaque. Thus, the specificity of CT calcium scoring for identifying individuals with obstructive disease could be improved by vessel-based rather than global quantification of calcium and by differentiating specific morphological patterns of calcification.

This was especially apparent for lesions localised to the vagina and rectovaginal septum. Content Type Journal ArticleCategory UrogenitalDOI 10.1007/s00330-009-1627-8Authors M.

Hyper-L larger than 10 mm and Hypo-L of 20 mm or larger are at high risk of HCC. However, even using MDCT and the newest imaging protocols, imaging underestimated the diagnosis of small HCC.

In clinical practice, PNS is far more often suspected than proven. In our study combined PET/CT identified malignancy as the underlying cause of suspected PNS in only 8.7% (4/46). We believe that combined PET/CT should be reserved for stringently selected patients with a high clinical index of suspicion for PNS and after conventional imaging techniques fail to detect a tumour.

Are radiologists receiving a significant dose? http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2811447&cid=s_33428_37_f&fid=33428&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.springerlink.com%2Fcontent%2F0uw3348524126706%2F Conclusions  This study highlights the need to inform radiologists of the relative risk when performing pre-surgical localisation after RSNI. This risk should be justified locally in accordance with the total dose received by the localising radiologist. Particular consideration should be given to pregnant staff and the possibility of performing wire localisations before radio-isotope injection.

Either their organ of origin is uncertain or it is unclear whether their nature is benign or malignant. MR imaging of the sonographically indeterminate adnexal mass can resolve most of these uncertainties. Most indeterminate masses result from common benign conditions and women with such masses can avoid unnecessary or inappropriate surgery. For the minority of women whose masses are malignant, use of MR imaging rather than a ‘wait and watch’ strategy of repeat ultrasound (US) results in a more timely diagnosis. There are simple diagnostic steps in the MR imaging assessment which direct an algorithmic and problem-solving approach based on signal characteristics and morphology....
