Background: Endometrial cancer is a kind of well-known tumors of female genitourinary system. Cervical stromal invasion is an adverse factor for poor prognosis of endometrial cancer. There is still controversy regarding the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of cervical stromal invasion of endometrial cancer.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the imaging features and risk factors of PCLs complicating AIP, and investigate its prognosis through continuous imaging follow-up.

Patients And Methods: Patients who were diagnosed with AIP from January 2014 to December 2020 in our hospital were recruited. We analyzed the CT and MRI features of PCLs complicating AIP, and investigated its prognosis through imaging follow-up.

Article Synopsis
  • Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) can improve without steroid treatment in rare cases called spontaneous remission (SR), with different clinical features observed among patients.
  • A study presented four AIP patients (two males and two females) who experienced SR, with varying symptoms including abdominal pain and jaundice, alongside imaging findings that reflected different levels of pancreatic damage.
  • Post-SR imaging revealed three outcomes: some patients showed a return to normal, while others experienced progressive fibrosis, atrophy, and calcification of the pancreas.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) textures could identify patient with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) who would not respond to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT).

Method: Twenty-six patients who underwent MRI including diffusion-weighted imaging at a 3.0 T system before NCRT were enrolled.

Background: To investigate whether CT findings can predict the invasiveness of persistent cancerous pure ground glass opacity (pGGO) by correlating the CT imaging features of persistent pGGO with pathological changes.

Materials And Methods: Ninety five patients with persistent pGGOs were included. Three radiologists evaluated the morphologic features of these pGGOs at high resolution CT (HRCT).

Objective: Patients with major depression (MD) experience a variety of emotional and mental problems accompanied by characteristic clinical symptoms. Based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) notions, the clinical appearance of MD can be divided into two syndromes, namely a deficiency pattern (DP) and an excess pattern (EP), depending on the patient's clinical symptoms, pulse, and lingual signs. Brain functional neuroimaging has demonstrated cerebral activity abnormalities in MD patients.

Objective: To reduce radiation dose while maintaining image quality in low-dose chest computed tomography (CT) by combining adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR) and automatic tube current modulation (ATCM).

Methods: Patients undergoing cancer screening (n = 200) were subjected to 64-slice multidetector chest CT scanning with ASIR and ATCM. Patients were divided into groups 1, 2, 3, and 4 (n = 50 each), with a noise index (NI) of 15, 20, 30, and 40, respectively.

A 52-year-old female patient with Hashimoto encephalopathy was admitted to hospital for clinical treatment, and the findings on MR spectroscopy (MRS) and MR imaging (MRI) in the brain were reported. MRS revealed the decreases in N-acetylaspartate (NAA/Cr=1.19) and myo-inositol peaks, and the elevations in lipid, lactate, glutamate/glutamine multiplet and choline (Cho/Cr=1.

Article Synopsis
  • This study examined MRI features of eosinophilic meningoencephalitis in patients infected with Angiostrongylus cantonensis after consuming freshwater snails.
  • Out of 74 patients, 55% showed normal MRI results, while 45% had various abnormal findings linked to different infection types, including meningitis and myeloencephalitis.
  • Notable MRI characteristics included abnormal leptomeningeal enhancement in meningitis cases and variable signal intensities in brain lesions, with some patients also presenting lesions in the cervical spinal cord.
