Purpose: Parotid pleomorphic adenomas present a risk of recurrence, higher when the tumour is a hypocellular subtype. The aim of the study was to determine whether it is possible to characterize this histological subtype with diffusion and perfusion sequences of the preoperative MRI.
Methods: This retrospective study included 97 patients operated between 2010 and 2020.
Objective: To identify clinical and biological criteria predictive of significant traumatic injury in only kinetic-based polytrauma patients without clinical severity criteria. To propose a decisional algorithm to assist the emergency doctor in deciding whether or not to perform a WBCT in the above population.
Methods: Retrospective bi-center study.

Objective: To define the indications for each imaging modality in the screening, characterization, extension and follow-up of salivary gland tumors.
Material And Methods: The French Network of Rare Head and Neck Tumors (REFCOR) formed a steering group who drafted a narrative review of the literature published on Medline and proposed recommendations. The level of adherence to the recommendations was then assessed by a rating group, according to the formal consensus method.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers wanted to find a way to tell two types of lung tumors apart: hamartomas and carcinoids, using a special CT scan technique.
- They studied patients who had surgery for these tumors and used some advanced computer methods to analyze the CT images.
- The study found that using a specific measurement from the scans, called 3D-median, was very good at predicting which tumor was which, helping doctors make better decisions in treatment.
