Recent advances in the genetics and pathology of hereditary syndromes have provided valuable insights into the pathophysiology and biology of sporadic pancreatic endocrine neoplasms. Evolving molecular data on the biology of these neoplasms has the potential for diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic use.

The 2007 UK National Radiotherapy Advisory Group report indicated the number and type of staff available is one of the 'rate limiting' steps in improving productivity in radiotherapy departments. Retaining well-trained, satisfied staff is key to meeting the objectives of the report; burnout is an important factor linked to satisfaction and attrition. The results of a survey measuring burnout in a sample of radiotherapists (therapy radiographers) are presented and considered against norms for the health sector and burnout in therapists from Canada and the USA. Case study methodology was used studying six radiotherapy departments selected because of close geographical proximity and differing vacancy rates for radiothe...

High diagnostic accuracy has been achieved with multislice CT scanners (64-slice and higher), and in selected patients coronary CT angiography is regarded as a reliable alternative to invasive coronary angiography. With high-quality coronary CT imaging increasingly being performed, patients can benefit from an imaging modality that provides a rapid and accurate diagnosis while avoiding an invasive procedure. Despite the tremendous contributions of coronary CT angiography to cardiac imaging, study results reported in the literat...

The forearm graft hyperplasia was detected using (99)Tc(m)-sestamibi scanning, which identified hyperplastic transplanted parathyroid tissue in the forearm of the patient. During the initial surgery, the surgeon failed to mark the parathyroid tissue with sutures or clips to facilitate locating it. Therefore, we referred the patient for radioguided surgery. This surgical procedure allowed us to locate and completely remove the hyperfunctioning transplanted parathyroid tissue.

An 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT showed FDG-avid masses in the stomach and mesentery, which were biopsied to reveal an unsuspected diagnosis of plasmacytoma. The original colon tumour pathology was identical and this prompted its re-evaluation to a primary colon plasmacytoma. The patient was treated with chemotherapy and a follow-up PET/CT scan showed complete resolution of the gastric and mesenteric masses. 18F-FDG PET/CT is useful in the restaging and follow-up of this very rare extramedullary plasmacytoma.

While sacral metastases are frequently encountered, a diagnostic dilemma can present when there is a single sacral bone tumour with no history or evidence of malignancy elsewhere in the body. Familiarity with the imaging features and clinical presentations of primary malignant bone tumours is helpful in narrowing the differential. This pictorial review will illustrate with CT, MRI and positron emission tomography-CT both common and uncommon malignant sacral tumours, highlighting the specific features of each.

Although the Coalition Government has promised to "guarantee that health spending increases in real terms in each year of Parliament", this may still not be enough to meet future needs over the coming years due to increasing demand and cost pressures. The expected mismatch between actual NHS funding post-2011 and that required to satisfy increasing demand has been estimated by the Department of Health to require efficiency savings representing up to one-fifth of the overall NHS budget.

There are also methods of developing image contrast between tissues and fluids in the short T(2) or T(2)* range that can provide visualisation of anatomy, which has not been previously seen with MRI. Magnetisation transfer methods can now be applied to previously invisible tissues, providing indirect access to supershort T(2) components. Particular methods have been developed to target susceptibility effects and quantify them after correcting for anatomical distortion. Specific methods have also been developed to image the effects of magnetic iron oxide particles with posi...

Centres that cannot provide IMRT for the radical treatment of all patients could implement the single-phase technique as standard to attain comparable TCP. However, IMRT produced better UCP, thereby enabling the exploration of dose escalation.

CT, MRI and positron emission tomography (PET)-CT have been shown to be powerful tools for the non-invasive assessment of splenic involvement in various haematological malignancies. Since many haematological malignancies and non-neoplastic conditions can involve the spleen and imaging manifestations can overlap, imaging and clinical findings outside of the spleen should be looked for to narrow the differential diagnosis; confirmation can be obtained by pathological findings.

Here, we report a case of a patient who underwent surgical intervention including pectoralis major flap reconstruction for locally advanced pharyngolaryngeal squamous cell carcinoma with skin invasion. He was followed up post-operatively with adjuvant radiotherapy. 13 years after the treatment, suspect resistance in the myocutaneous flap region appeared and was diagnosed as a calcification. To date, the occurrence of subcutaneous calcification in the myocutaneous flap in the neck has not been described as a late complication of neck irradiation.

We believe the two artefacts are caused by breathing during data acquisition together with a combination of other factors, including the anatomy of the renal system, the method of data acquisition and the reconstructive algorithm used. This could lead to the unaware reporting radiologist falsely diagnosing a duplex collecting system. To avoid these artefacts, we recommend DT IVP should only be used in patients who can adequately perform a breath-hold for the duration of the data acquisition. In addition, we suggest that the study should be performed with breath-held following expiration.

The qualities of these beams are described according to the IEC 61267 standard and the TRS 457 IAEA report. Specifically, the non attenuated RQR-M beam series was studied. A Si-PIN diode-based spectrometer and the PENELOPE Monte Carlo code (v. 2008) were used for experiments and simulations, respectively. In addition, an ionization chamber was used to determine the half-value layers (HVLs) of each beam quality. The measurements were done in the mammography dosimeter calibration setup of our laboratory, and the Monte Carlo simulations reproduced such conditions. The...

The chest radiograph identified the right-sided pneumothorax and revealed an apical pleural mass that was confirmed by intravenous contrast-enhanced CT of the thorax. The patient was referred for video-assisted thorascopic surgical pleurodesis and biopsy of the lesion. Histopathology analyses confirmed the diagnosis of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour. To the best of our knowledge, no such case reports have been published in the literature.

A literature search was undertaken using Medline, Embase and the Cochrane Library. Results are grouped under three categories: histological evidence of spread, clinical evidence of recurrent disease and the likelihood of seeding dependent upon tumour type. There is histological evidence of seeding of tumour cells from the primary neoplastic site into adjacent breast tissue following biopsy. However, as the interval between biopsy and surgery lengthens then the incidence of seeding declines, which suggests that displaced tumour cells are not viable. Clinical recurrence at the site of a needle biopsy is uncommon and the relationship ...

Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) was used. More conformal dose distribution within the planning target volume was obtained using IMRT than the conventional technique. Dose-volume constraints defined for the lungs were met. Treatment was subsequently delivered using a 7-field IMRT plan. The patient remains alive and disease-free 48 months after the completion of radiotherapy. IMRT can be considered an effective treatment for synchronous bilateral lung cancer.

However, mean ADC measurement can provide useful information in differentiating benign from malignant endometrial lesions. This information could be clinically relevant in those patients where pre-operative endometrial sampling is not possible.

It was associated with a bony cleft in the basiocciput that was considered to be a canalis basilaris medianus (CBM), thought to represent an embryological vestige of the cephalic end of the notochord along its course within the basiocciput.

Retinoblastoma is the most common paediatric intra-ocular tumour. It may be endophytic, exophytic or a diffuse infiltrating tumour. MRI can detect intra-ocular, extra-ocular and intracranial extension of the tumour. MRI is essential for monitoring patients after treatment and detection of associated second malignancies. It helps to differentiating the tumour from simulating lesions with leukocoria.
