Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare entity and a diagnostic challenge with myriad clinical presentations and pathogenetic mechanisms. Isolated occurrences can be at any site in the body; however, only a few cases of IMT with the concomitant appearance of different organs have been published. We report a unique occurrence of bilateral inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the lungs with synchronous brain parenchymal lesions in an 11-year-old male, detailing clinical presentation with the emphasis on imaging and review of the literature.

- Hepatic steatosis can significantly impact post-transplant liver survival, making it important to assess steatosis before surgery; while liver biopsy is the standard method, it's invasive, prompting the use of CT liver attenuation index (LAI) as a non-invasive alternative.
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of CT LAI and BMI in predicting macrovesicular steatosis in living liver donors by comparing results with histological analysis, which served as the gold standard.
- Findings showed that CT LAI accurately predicted steatosis levels in nearly all cases, with no strong correlation with BMI, indicating that while CT LAI can reduce the need for biopsies in certain cases, BMI is not a reliable predictor of steatosis in
