Body oncologic imaging subspecialty training a curriculum based on the experience in a tertiary cancer center.

Purpose: To describe the structure of a dedicated body oncologic imaging fellowship program. To summarize the numbers and types of cross-sectional imaging examinations reported by fellows.

Methods: The curriculum, training methods, and assessment measures utilized in the program were reviewed and described.

Mucinous Degeneration on MRI After Neoadjuvant Therapy in Patients With Rectal Adenocarcinoma: Frequency and Association With Clinical Outcomes.

Patients with nonmucinous rectal adenocarcinoma may develop mucinous changes after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, which are described as mucinous degeneration. The finding's significance in earlier studies has varied. The purpose of this study was to assess the frequency of mucinous degeneration on MRI after neoadjuvant therapy for rectal adenocarcinoma and to compare outcomes among patients with nonmucinous tumor, mucinous tumor, and mucinous degeneration on MRI.

The role of MRI in evaluation of arthroscopic transtibial pullout repair for medial meniscus posterior root tears.

Medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRT) can lead to meniscal extrusion, loss of hoop tension, loss of load-sharing ability and increased contact pressure. Currently, the most commonly used technique for root repair is arthroscopic transtibial pullout repair (ATPR). This article aims to illustrate both normal and abnormal postoperative imaging findings of the MMPRT repair performed with ATPR, with emphasis on MRI.

Abdominal gastrointestinal imaging findings on computed tomography in patients with COVID-19 and correlation with clinical outcomes.

Purpose: Pulmonary imaging finding of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been widely described, but until now few studies have been published about abdominal radiological presentation. The aim of this study was to provide an overview of abdominal imaging findings in patients with COVID-19 in a multicenter study and correlate them with worse clinical outcomes.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included adult COVID-positive patients with abdominal CT performed from 4/1/2020 to 5/1/2020 from two institutions.

COVID-19 pneumonia in the emergency department: correlation of initial chest CT findings with short-term outcome.

Purpose: Evaluate chest computed tomography (CT) findings of laboratory-confirmed Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases and correlate it with clinical and laboratorial signs of severe disease and short-term outcome.

Methods: Chest CTs of 61 consecutive cases of COVID-19 disease that attended in our emergency department (ED) were reviewed. Three groups of patients classified according to the short-term follow-up were compared: (1) early-discharged from ED, (2) hospitalized on regular wards, and (3) admitted to intensive care unit (ICU).

A rare case of left hepatic vein anomalous drainage to the coronary sinus.

The left hepatic vein (LHV) anomalous drainage into the coronary sinus (CS) is an extremely rare congenital vascular abnormality. It is usually asymptomatic, but it has surgical implications if the patient undergoes cardiac, vascular or hepatic procedures. We report a case of a 90-year-old man who had an isolated LHV anomalous drainage diagnosed on a computed tomography performed to evaluate fatigue.

Other types of diffuse liver disease: is there a way to do it?

There are a variety of less common diffuse liver diseases that can be asymptomatic or cause severe liver dysfunction. For the majority of them, the association of clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings are needed to narrow the differential diagnosis. In this article, we will review and describe the rarer diffuse liver diseases including drug-related liver disease, inflammatory and infectious diseases, and deposition disorders such as amyloidosis, glycogen storage disease, Wilson's disease, and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.
