Article Synopsis
  • VASER liposuction is a modern fat removal technique that allows for precise body shaping with less trauma to surrounding tissues, resulting in reduced pain, swelling, and recovery time compared to traditional methods.
  • A study was conducted to compare complication rates in patients undergoing VASER liposuction based on their body mass index (BMI) and the quantity of fat removed.
  • Findings revealed that patients with a BMI over 25 experienced complications like contusions and hematomas, while those with a BMI under 24.9 had no complications, suggesting that careful patient selection based on BMI and other factors can enhance outcomes and reduce risks.

Purpose: The purpose of this survey was to evaluate the current state-of-art of pre-TAVI imaging in a large radiological professional community.

Methods: Between December 2022 and January 2023 all members of the Italian Society of Medical and Interventional Radiology (SIRM) were invited by the CT PRotocol Optimization group (CT-PRO group) to complete an online 24-item questionnaire about pre-TAVI imaging.

Results: 557 SIRM members participated in the survey.

We investigated a novel dedicated Prostate Imaging for Local Recurrence Reporting and Data System (PI-RRADS) in biochemical recurrence after radiotherapy (RT) and rad- ical prostatectomy (RP) evaluating biparametric magnetic resonance imaging (bpMRI) exams, at 3T MRI of 55 patients. Associating bpMRI and biochemical recurrence data, we calculated bpMRI diagnostic accuracy. Four probability categories, from 1 (very low) to 4 (very high), were distinguished.
