Focal loss of mural stratification as a radiological predictor for small bowel adenocarcinoma in Crohn's disease.

Aim: Patients with Crohn's disease (CD) are at higher risk of small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA). We aimed to identify radiological predictors of SBA in CD.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective case-control study at two tertiary inflammatory bowel disease centers and identified CD patients diagnosed with SBA between 2003 and 2019.

variant is associated with hepatobiliary MR abnormalities in people with low-phospholipid-associated cholelithiasis syndrome.

Background & Aims: The low-phospholipid-associated cholelithiasis (LPAC) syndrome is a recently described peculiar form of cholelithiasis associated with the ATP-binding-cassette subfamily B, member 4 () gene deficiency. The purpose of our study was to analyse the relationship between magnetic resonance (MR) features and the genetic status of in people with LPAC syndrome.

Methods: A total of 233 individuals with proven LPAC syndrome were enrolled between January 2003 and June 2018 in a retrospective single-centre study.

Non-contrast MR lymphography of the lymphatic system of the liver.

This review shows the images obtained with non-contrast MR lymphography in different pathologic conditions affecting the liver. Non-contrast MR lymphography is obtained with a free-breathing 3D high spatial resolution fast-recovery fast spin-echo sequence similar to that used for 3D MR cholangiopancreatography. The liver is the largest lymph-producing organ generating approximately half of the body's lymphatic fluid and is the most important part of the lymphatic system from a functional point of view.

Predictive criteria of response to endoscopic treatment for severe strictures in primary sclerosing cholangitis.

Background: The aim of this study was to identify predictive criteria of improvement after endoscopic treatment (ET) for severe strictures of extrahepatic bile ducts in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).

Methods: PSC patients who had at least one ET for severe stricture were included. Features of magnetic resonance cholangiography (MRC), performed before ET, were evaluated according to a standard model of interpretation, and a radiologic qualitative score of probability of improvement after ET was built.

Is the femoral head dead or alive before surgery of slipped capital femoral epiphysis? Interest of perfusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Background: The most common complication of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head. Surgical treatments including reduction of the femoral head are considered as a risk factor for avascular necrosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of perfusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) into the surgical decision-making sequence.
