Can MRI Accurately Diagnose and Stage Endometrial Adenocarcinoma?

: Endometrial carcinoma is one of the most common gynecological cancers, and benign lesions such as endometrial hyperplasia, polyps, adenomyosis and leiomyomas should be included in the differential diagnosis. Magnetic resonance imaging has an important role in evaluating endometrial cancer and assessing the depth of myometrial invasion, and it closely correlates with the prognosis of the patient. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the MRI semiology of the endometrial carcinomas that mimic benign lesions, the main factors that may affect the correct diagnosis and the feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate the depth of the myometrial invasion of endometrial cancer.

Prostatic Artery Origin Variability: Five Steps to Improve Identification during Percutaneous Embolization.

: The purpose of the current paper is to present our study on the variability in the prostatic artery origin, discuss the less frequent origins, and present the challenges of the prostatic artery embolization (PAE) procedure, thus aiding young interventional radiologists. : We studied the origins of the prostatic artery on digital subtraction angiography (DSA) examinations from PAE procedures on 35 male pelvises (70 hemi-pelvises). : Our study has demonstrated that the most frequent origin of the prostatic artery (PA) is the internal pudendal artery (IPA), 37.

The Case of a 44-Year-Old Survivor of Unrepaired Tetralogy of Fallot, Right Aortic Arch and Abdominal Aortopulmonary Collateral Vessels.

The most common congenital cyanotic heart disease is described in the literature as the Tetralogy of Fallot. This abnormality is characterized by the presence of ventricular septal defect (VSD), obstruction of the right ventricular (RV) outflow tract, right ventricular hypertrophy, and overriding aorta. In patients with pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (PA/VSD), major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCA) are common; however, although some of them do not have PA/VSD, they do have other particular anatomical variants.

MRI differential diagnosis: bone metastases versus bone lesions due to malignant hemopathies.

Bone determinations are usually the first sign of disseminated cancers, whether is a hematological malignancy or other type of neoplasia. The aim of this paper is the possibility of differentiating the bone lesions from hematological malignancies by other malignancies that give bone metastases for the purpose to guide the clinician concerning causality of bone lesions. The research involved a retrospective study, which included 309 cases that were investigated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at a segment of the spine, between 2010 and 2014, from which 137 were diagnosed with a form of hematological neoplasia, and the remaining had another form of cancer.

Semiological characters and morphopathological-radiological correlations in duodenal malignancy.

Localized duodenal neoplasms are relatively rare entities, most often representing invasions of the duodenum by malignant masses developed in the duodeno-pancreatic region. The paper makes a more exact analysis of radiological semiology of duodenal localized tumors and seeks to determine through this analysis the role of radiological examinations in the support for the anatomopathologist. The study group included 17 cases of duodenal localized tumors, nine cases of which have been shown to be vaterian ampulloma and eight malignant tumors of the duodenum.
