Bolus-Tracked Biphasic Contrast-Enhanced CT Imaging Following Microwave Liver Ablation Improves Ablation Zone Conspicuity and Semi-automatic Segmentation Quality.

Purpose: Contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) may be performed immediately following microwave liver ablation for assessment of ablative margins. However, practices and protocols vary among institutions. Here, we compare a standardized bolus-tracked biphasic CECT protocol and compare this with a single venous phase fixed delay protocol for ablation zone (AZ) assessment.

Intracardiac diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: an unexpected diagnosis.

Intracardiac lymphomas are exceedingly rare accounting for only 1% of all primary cardiac tumours. Historically, due to their insidious development and non-specific clinical presentation, the diagnosis has been challenging with most cases being confirmed on post-mortem examination. Our case report details the experience of a previously fit and active woman in her 60s who presented with gradual onset exertional dyspnoea.

Robotic versus freehand CT-guided radiofrequency ablation of pulmonary metastases: a comparative cohort study.

Purpose: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a curative treatment option for small lung metastases, which conventionally involves multiple freehand manipulations until the treating electrode is satisfactorily positioned. Stereotactic and robotic guidance has been gaining popularity for liver ablation, although has not been established in lung ablation. The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility, safety, and accuracy of robotic RFA for pulmonary metastases, and compare procedures with a conventional freehand cohort.

Outcome of radiological interventions in pediatric gastrointestinal diseases: A large tertiary center experience.

Background: Interventional radiology (IR) is an indispensable component of multidisciplinary care in various gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. The literature on safety and utility of IR is limited in children.

Objectives: In this study, we aim to analyze the outcomes of IR in various pediatric GI diseases.

Assessment of MRI as a Modality for Evaluation of Soft Tissue Injuries of the Spine as Compared to Intraoperative Assessment.

Introduction: Traumatic injuries of the spine and spinal cord are potentially devastating as they may lead to significant neurological damage as the clinical and prognostic spectrum of the effects of spinal injuries is vast. Timely imaging studies can help mitigate these possibly life threatening complications. There is a dearth of studies that directly compare MR imaging findings to surgical findings.

A Comparative Study of Sonographic Grading of Renal Parenchymal Changes and Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) using Modified Diet in Renal Disease Formula.

Introduction: The sonographic findings are of help in evaluating the nephrological diseases. Glomerular filtration rate is another parameter for assessing the reserved renal function and an indicator of prognosis. In clinical practice GFR estimation (eGFR) is done by using a mathematical formula.

Diagnostic accuracy of high resolution ultrasound to differentiate neoplastic and non neoplastic causes of cervical lymphadenopathy.

Introduction: Lymph nodes are normal structures distributed throughout the human body and are enlarged in various disease entities. Identifying the relevant lymph nodes is important in treating these patients. High resolution sonography (HRSG) and fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) play crucial role in planning the treatment.
