Article Synopsis
- The Revised Atlanta Classification identifies key complications of acute pancreatitis, but additional factors impacting patient health must also be acknowledged.
- This review covers both the imaging classification of acute pancreatitis and the importance of understanding pancreatic anatomy for effective imaging assessments.
- It expands the discussion to include less common but serious complications, such as infections and thrombosis, while providing real-life examples of imaging cases.
Article Synopsis
- Granulomatous Lung Diseases (GLD) include diverse conditions with chronic inflammation, often showing similar imaging features, prompting this study to analyze the causes and imaging characteristics in patients with GLD who had lung biopsies.
- Between 2014 and 2017, a review of 75 patients' imaging data revealed that 62.7% had infections, primarily histoplasmosis, characterized by a nodular pattern that was distinctly observed in 92.6% of its cases.
- The study found nearly perfect agreement among radiologists on imaging feature detection, indicating reliable identification of specific patterns, particularly noting that nodular patterns showed substantial but slightly lower agreement.
Splenic metastases are rare and usually occur in cases of disseminated disease. We report a case of a patient who had isolated splenic metastases with a previous history of left nephrectomy due to a renal cell carcinoma 11 years before. The aim of this report is to describe the case and review the literature of isolated splenic metastases due to renal carcinoma.

Materials And Methods: In this Institutional Review Board approved single-center retrospective study, 98 patients with clinically suspected PCa who underwent 3-T multiparametric MRI followed by MRI/TRUS fusion-guided prostate biopsy were included from June 2013 to February 2015. Two radiologists (R1 and R2) with 8 and 1 years of experience in abdominal radiology reviewed the MRI scans and assigned PI-RADS v2 scores in all prostate zones.
