Purpose: To investigate and determine the sonographic findings obtained from manually distorted testes to predict testicular atrophy following manual detorsion.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-two patients who had been diagnosed with testicular torsion and undergone manual detorsion were included. These patients were classified according to the presence or absence of testicular atrophy.

We report 2 cases of pulmonary actinomycosis complicated by a pseudoaneurysm. In Case 1, a 67-year-old man visited a hospital 7 months ago because of hemoptysis. CT revealed a suspected lung abscess in the left lingular segment; however, no diagnosis was confirmed by bronchoscopy.

Purpose: To verify whether deep learning can be used to differentiate between carcinosarcomas (CSs) and endometrial carcinomas (ECs) using several magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences.

Material And Methods: This retrospective study included 52 patients with CS and 279 patients with EC. A deep-learning model that uses convolutional neural networks (CNN) was trained with 572 T2-weighted images (T2WI) from 42 patients, 488 apparent diffusion coefficient of water maps from 33 patients, and 539 fat-saturated contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images from 40 patients with CS, as well as 1612 images from 223 patients with EC for each sequence.

Purpose: To compare the diagnostic performance of deep learning models using convolutional neural networks (CNN) with that of radiologists in diagnosing endometrial cancer and to verify suitable imaging conditions.

Methods: This retrospective study included patients with endometrial cancer or non-cancerous lesions who underwent MRI between 2015 and 2020. In Experiment 1, single and combined image sets of several sequences from 204 patients with cancer and 184 patients with non-cancerous lesions were used to train CNNs.

Background: This study aimed to compare deep learning with radiologists' assessments for diagnosing ovarian carcinoma using MRI.

Methods: This retrospective study included 194 patients with pathologically confirmed ovarian carcinomas or borderline tumors and 271 patients with non-malignant lesions who underwent MRI between January 2015 and December 2020. T2WI, DWI, ADC map, and fat-saturated contrast-enhanced T1WI were used for the analysis.

We report a case of a 12-year-old boy with an accessory spleen torsion. He presented with left-sided abdominal pain after trauma. A 4 cm oval mass without contrast enhancement was detected on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT), and ultrasound (US) showed a 4 cm oval mass below the spleen.

Purpose: To compare deep learning with radiologists when diagnosing uterine cervical cancer on a single T2-weighted image.

Methods: This study included 418 patients (age range, 21-91 years; mean, 50.2 years) who underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) between June 2013 and May 2020.
