I saw the “sea anemone” sign: Puffy face of borderline ovarian tumors
The sea anemone sign is a radiologic sign seen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies that indicates the morphological development of serous borderline ovarian tumors (SBOTs), as papillary projections originating from the wall of the cystic lesion. The presence of T2 hypointense fibrous stroma in the center of the papilla is a helpful tip in the diagnosis of SBOTs. Those projections might also be assumed to have a frond-like appearance which can be seen as branching papillary projections, especially on T2-weighted imaging. (Source: Clinical Imaging)

Collapse or distention of the perioptic space in children - What does it mean to pediatric radiologists? Comprehensive review of perioptic space evaluation
The perioptic space comprises the subarachnoid space [SAS] of the optic nerve communicating with the SAS of the central nervous system. Pressure variations in the SAS of the central nervous system can be transmitted to the optic papilla through the perioptic space. Variations in the diameter of the perioptic space serve as an important indicator for select intracranial pathologies in the pediatric population. Though the perioptic space can be evaluated using various imaging modalities, MRI is considered highly effective due to its superior soft tissue resolution. (Source: Clinical Imaging)

A note from the Editor-in-Chief: there are now 16 female ACR gold medal winners
In 1923, the American College of Radiology (ACR) was founded, and in 1927, the first ACR Gold Medal, “awarded by the Board of Chancellors to an individual for distinguished and extraordinary service to the American College of Radiology or to the discipline of radiology”1 was bestowed. In 1931, the first ACR gold medal was awarded to a female, a female none other than the world-famous Mme. Marie Curie, who to this day is still the only female to receive two Nobel prizes. The second female ACR gold medal winner was not until 1963, when it was awarded to Edith H. (Source: Clinical Imaging)

Breast arterial calcification is associated with sarcopenia in peri- and post-menopausal women
Breast arterial calcification (BAC) refers to medial calcium deposition in breast arteries and is detectable via mammography. Sarcopenia, which is characterised by low skeletal muscle mass and quality, is associated with several serious clinical conditions, increased morbidity, and mortality. Both BAC and sarcopenia share common pathologic pathways, including ageing, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease. Therefore, this study evaluated the relationship between BAC and sarcopenia as a potential indicator of sarcopenia. (Source: Clinical Imaging)
