Prognostic value of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging of brain in fetal growth restriction: results of prospective multicenter study.

Objective: To measure prospectively apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values between 28 and 32 weeks of gestation in different cerebral territories of fetuses with estimated fetal weight (EFW) ≤ 5 centile, and analyze their association with adverse perinatal outcome.

Methods: This was a prospective study involving six tertiary-level perinatal centers. In the period 22 November 2016 to 11 September 2017, we included singleton, small-for-gestational-age (SGA) fetuses with EFW ≤ 5 percentile, between 28 and 32 weeks of gestation, regardless of the umbilical artery Doppler and maternal uterine artery Doppler findings.

Volvulus of the sigmoid colon is associated with hypotrophy of the left lateral segment of the liver and the absence of sigmoid diverticulum.

Purpose: To investigate the possible relationships between sigmoid diverticula, the volume of the left lateral segment of the liver and sigmoid colon volvulus.

Material And Methods: The presence of sigmoid diverticula was analyzed in 36 patients (24 men, 12 women; mean age, 70.77±19.

What every radiologist should know about adnexal torsion.

Adnexal torsion is the fifth most common gynecologic surgical emergency, requiring clinician and radiologist awareness. It involves the rotation of the ovarian tissue on its vascular pedicle leading to stromal edema, hemorrhagic infarction, and necrosis of the adnexal structures with the subsequent sequelae. Expedient diagnosis poses a difficult challenge because the clinical presentation is variable and often misleading.
