Increase of Epicardial Adipose Tissue (EAT) With Fat Infiltration of Right Ventricular Myocardium: Is it Always a High-Risk Stigmata or a Worrisome Feature?

Incidental epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) and subepicardial fat infiltration on CT scans are not uncommon and the differential diagnosis can be a challenge. Considering the vastness of the possible disorders, it is important to differentiate physiologic age-related condition from pathologic disease. We present a case of an asymptomatic 81-year-old woman in which according to ECG and CMR findings we considered as possible differential diagnoses arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) dominant-right variant, lipomatosis and physiological growth of epicardial fat.

Post-Operative Accelerated-Hypofractionated Chemoradiation With Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy and Simultaneous Integrated Boost in Glioblastoma: A Phase I Study (ISIDE-BT-2).

Background: Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary brain cancer and one of the most lethal tumors. Theoretically, modern radiotherapy (RT) techniques allow dose-escalation due to the reduced irradiation of healthy tissues. This study aimed to define the adjuvant maximum tolerated dose (MTD) using volumetric modulated arc RT with simultaneous integrated boost (VMAT-SIB) plus standard dose temozolomide (TMZ) in GBM.

Sagittal Normal Limits of Lumbosacral Spine in a Large Adult Population: A Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging Analysis.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lumbosacral spine from L1 to S1, the values of the normal sagittal diameter of the spinal canal (SCD), sagittal diameter of the dural sac (DSD), and the normal values of dural sac ratio (DSR) in a large nonsymptomatic adult population and to discriminate whether a vertebral canal is pathological or nonpathological for dural ectasia and/or stenosis.

Materials And Methods: Six hundred and four patients were prospectively enrolled. All measurements were performed on MRI sagittal T1- and T2-weighted images.

Computed tomography angiography of unilateral agenesis of the internal carotid artery: 2 cases report with focus on embryology, collateral pathways, and imaging.

Congenital absence of internal carotid artery (ICA) is a rare anomaly seen in around 0.01% of the population. High incidence of aneurysms is reported in these patients population.

Sclerosing adenosis of the breast: report of two cases and review of the literature.

Background: Sclerosing adenosis is a benign, usually asymptomatic lobulocentric proliferative process that involves both the epithelial and the mesenchymal component of the breast. It is commonly an incidental finding in perimenopausal women undergoing screening mammography.

Case Report: We reported on two patients with sclerosing adenosis assessed with mammography, ultrasound, and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging.

Integrated imaging of breast hamartoma: two case reports.

Hamartoma of the breast is an uncommon, benign, slow-growing mass usually diagnosed in women in the fourth and fifth decade of life undergoing mammography (MX). Here we report two cases of hamartoma of the breast assessed by integrated MX, ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination. Case 1 was an asymptomatic 47-year-old woman who had never been screened previously.

MRI findings of large low-grade angiosarcoma of the breast with subsequent bone metastases: a case report.

We describe the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of 13 cm-sized low-grade angiosarcoma of the breast that occurred in a 23-year-old woman. Magnetic resonance examination revealed an ill-defined mass with marked high-signal intensity on T2-weighted images and persistent heterogeneous enhancement. Thirty months later she developed bone metastases, incidentally found on an MRI performed to evaluate the pelvis.

Primary lymphoma of the female urethra.

The case of a 69-year-old female patient come to our observation with the diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma on histology and cystoscopy is discussed. Symptoms were characterized by dysuria, vaginal spotting and abdominal pain. CT and NMR for staging and control CT during chemotherapy were performed.
