[Radiologic Evaluation of Uterine Lesions Using a Pattern Recognition Approach].

It is important to distinguish uterine lesions from other lesions occurring in the pelvic cavity for the proper management. The primary radiological evaluation of uterine lesions is performed using transvaginal ultrasonography, and if the lesion is too large or shows atypical benign imaging findings, magnetic resonance imaging should be performed. Analyzing radiological findings of uterine lesions through a pattern recognition approach can help establish the accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

Longitudinal Association between L1 Trabecular Attenuation from Chest Computed Tomography (CT) and Bone Mineral Density from Dualenergy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA).

Background: Many studies have shown that vertebral trabecular attenuation measured on CT scan corresponds well to DXA results for bone mineral density. These studies were based on crosssectional data. Hence, there were limitations in explaining the constantly changing vertebral trabecular attenuation from CT and T-score from DXA over time.

Abdominal periaortic and renal sinus fat attenuation indices measured on computed tomography are associated with metabolic syndrome.

Objectives: To investigate the association between abdominal periaortic (APA) and renal sinus (RS) fat attenuation index (FAI) measured on MDCT and metabolic syndrome in non-obese and obese individuals.

Methods: Visceral, subcutaneous, RS, and APA adipose tissue were measured in preoperative abdominal CT scans of individuals who underwent donor nephrectomy (n = 84) or bariatric surgery (n = 155). FAI was defined as the mean attenuation of measured fat volume.

Treatment outcomes in patients with extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of the lung.

Objectives: To evaluate clinical presentations, treatment modalities, and outcomes of pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma by stage strata.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 51 patients diagnosed with pulmonary MALT lymphoma between January 2003 and December 2015. To compare treatment modalities and outcomes, we stratified the patients into low-stage (IE/IIE) and high-stage (IIIE/IVE) groups using modified Ann Arbor staging.
