Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of appendicular skeleton magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the management of multiple myeloma over 15 years.
Methods: A total of 107 appendicular MRIs were obtained from 67 patients. Variables including age, sex, diagnosis, stage, indication, transplant status, MRI result, and treatment course were analyzed.

The presence of extraprostatic extension (EPE) on multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) is an important factor in determining the management of prostate cancer. EPE is an established risk factor for biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy (RP) and patients with EPE may be considered for wider resection margins, non-nerve-sparing surgery, adjuvant radiation therapy (RT), or androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Several statistical nomograms and scoring systems have been developed to predict pathological stage at time of RP but with varying accuracies.

Methods: The electronic medical records of 652 patients who had an impression of colitis of unspecified etiology via endoscopic findings between 2011 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 9 patients with biopsy-proven CMV colitis and associated CT imaging performed within 1 month of diagnosis.
Purpose: To determine the frequency, imaging, and clinical manifestations of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-related colitis in cancer patients on monotherapy or combination therapy.
Methods: The electronic medical records of 1044 cancer patients who received ICIs were retrospectively reviewed to identify 48 patients who had a clinical diagnosis of immune-related colitis. Imaging studies were reviewed to identify patients with imaging manifestations of colitis.
The purpose of this article is to provide for radiologists an overview of the radiologic, clinical, and pathologic features of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is a rare, life-threatening syndrome characterized by abnormal, excessive activation of the immune system. Imaging plays an important role in determining the extent of involvement of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.

Methods: A Cleveland Clinic Foundation imaging database of all head imaging scans performed from 1995 to 2017 was used to identify adults with normal orbits undergoing imaging studies at least 20 years apart. A total of 100 patients (200 globes) who had CT or MRI scans were studied.
