cellulitis: case report and mini-review.

Background: is a gram-negative, non-fermentative, oxidase-positive, catalase-positive bacillus. has been identified in urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, spontaneous peritonitis, septic arthritis, meningitis, bacteraemia and septic shock. Ours is the second case of skin and soft tissue infection sustained by (a case of necrotizing fasciitis with septic shock has been previously reported).

Accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography for syndesmosis injury diagnosis compared to conventional computed tomography.

Background: Syndesmosis injury can lead to ankle mortise instability and early osteoarthritis. Several multiple detector computed tomography (MDCT) methods for measurement have been developed. Weight-bearing cone beam CT (WB CBCT) is an emerging technique that offers the possibility of upright-position scanning and lower doses.

Metallic artifact reduction by evaluation of the additional value of iterative reconstruction algorithms in hip prosthesis computed tomography imaging.

To evaluate iterative metal artifact reduction (iMAR) technique in images data of hip prosthesis on computed tomography (CT) and the added value of advanced modeled iterative reconstruction (ADMIRE) compared with standard filtered back projection (FBP).Twenty-eight patients addressed to CT examinations for hip prosthesis were included prospectively. Images were reconstructed with iMAR algorithm in addition to FBP and ADMIRE techniques.

What is the diagnostic performance of 18-FDG-PET/MR compared to PET/CT for the N- and M- staging of breast cancer?

Purpose: To compare the diagnostic performance of 18-FDG-PET/MR and PET/CT for the N- and M- staging of breast cancer.

Methods And Materials: Two independent readers blinded to clinical/follow-up data reviewed PET/MR and PET/CT examinations performed for initial or recurrent breast cancer staging in 80 consecutive patients (mean age = 48 ± 12.9 years).

Feasibility of synthetic MRI in knee imaging in routine practice.

Background: Synthetic magnetic resonance (MR) is a method allowing reduction of examination time and access to quantitative imaging.

Purpose: This study sought to assess the image quality and diagnostic accuracy of synthetic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compared to standard MRI in patients with knee pain.

Material And Methods: In total, 22 patients underwent standard 1.

Combination of Adenomyoma and Adenomyomatous Hyperplasia of the Ampullary System: A First Case Report.

Adenomyoma and adenomyomatous hyperplasia are benign tumor-like lesions that rarely involve the major or minor duodenal papilla. We report the case of a 73-year-old patient who underwent a cephalic duodenopancreatectomy due to clinical and radiological evidence of underlying malignant neoplasm. The histopathology results revealed the unusual association of a major duodenal papilla adenomyoma and an adenomyomatous hyperplasia of the minor papilla.

Routine chest X-ray is not mandatory after fluoroscopy-guided totally implantable venous access device insertion.

Background: The aim of this study is to determine whether systematic postoperative chest X-ray is required after totally implantable venous access port device (TIVAD) placement under fluoroscopic control.

Methods: A retrospective chart review of all consecutive patients with fluoroscopy-guided TIVAD insertion from July 10, 2009 to April 16, 2012 was conducted at the Geneva University Hospitals (n = 927). Patients with an available postoperative chest X-ray were included, regardless of approach (open or percutaneous) and venous access site (subclavian, cephalic, jugular, etc.
