Optimizing Hepatocellular Carcinoma Screening: A Comparative Simulated Abbreviated MRI Protocol Study.

Background Patients with risk factors such as viral hepatitis-induced liver cirrhosis, advanced-stage primary biliary cirrhosis, hereditary hemochromatosis, metabolic-associated fatty liver disease, and alcoholic liver disease are more likely to develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Most HCC patients have advanced-stage disease unresponsive to treatment. Therefore, avoiding or treating viral infections and early detection through routine surveillance, such as repeated liver ultrasonography, are the most effective ways to reduce HCC-related mortality.

Neuroimaging Features of High-Altitude Cerebral Edema: A Case Report.

High-altitude cerebral edema (HACE) is serious, sometimes fatal clinical condition visualized in unacclimatized individuals climbing high altitudes. The current case report highlights a 39 year old male with a recent history of high-altitude mountain climbing and presented with memory impairment. The radiological findings revealed edema and microhemorrhages at genu and splenium of corpus callosum.

Study of anatomical variations of hepatic vasculature using multidetector computed tomography angiography.

Purpose: Preoperative evaluation of the hepatic vasculature is necessary to minimize mortality and morbidity during various surgeries due to the complexity of liver anatomy. The purpose of our investigation is to determine the anatomical variations in the hepatic vascular system by using multidetector computed tomography.

Methods: In this observational study, 500 patients aged between 1 and 86 years were randomly chosen from a patient population referred for computed tomography angiography for various clinical indications.
