Article Synopsis
- The study looked at MRI methods for checking injuries to the penis and aimed to suggest a better way to do it that costs less and takes less time.
- Researchers examined articles from 1995 to 2015, finding 12 studies that showed different ways to do MRI for penis injuries, but there was no agreement on what method to use.
- The best suggestion based on the study was to use T2 sequences in three different directions and at least one T1 sequence, without needing to inject any dye.
Aim: To investigate the prevalence of relevant incidental findings (RIFs) detected during routine abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CeCT).
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the reports of a consecutive series of abdominal CeCT studies performed between January and May 2013. For each report, patients' age and sex, admission as inpatient or outpatient, clinical suspicion as indicated by the requesting physician, availability of a previous abdominal examination, and name of the reporting radiologist were recorded.
The role of imaging specialists as authors of systematic reviews on diagnostic and interventional imaging and its impact on scientific quality: report from the EuroAIM Evidence-based Radiology Working Group.

August 2014
Purpose: To evaluate the inclusion of radiologists or nuclear medicine physicians (imaging specialists) as authors of systematic reviews (SRs) on imaging and imaging-guided diagnostic procedures and to determine the impact of imaging specialists' presence as authors on the overall quality of the reviews.
Materials And Methods: A MEDLINE and EMBASE search was performed for SRs of diagnostic and interventional image-guided procedures that were published from January 2001 to December 2010. SRs about procedures primarily performed by nonimaging specialists were excluded.
Objectives: To compare the abstract structure in the 70 highest-rank imaging journals with that of the two highest-rank journals in each of 35 non-imaging biomedical categories, according to 2008 impact factors.
Methods: We searched on MEDLINE for articles published in high-ranking imaging and non-imaging journals. Abstract format was considered as: IMRaD (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion/conclusion); extended structured (ES), when including headings other than IMRaD; or narrative (without headings).
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the reliability of asbestos fibre concentration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) by carrying out the mineralogical analysis of BALF at different times in the same patient and comparing the results.
Methods: Twenty two patients underwent diagnostic fibreoptic bronchoscopy twice: the first was to assess the past asbestos exposure and the second for different clinical reasons. Mineralogical analysis of BALF was carried out.
