Soft tissue tumor imaging in adults: European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology-Guidelines 2024: imaging immediately after neoadjuvant therapy in soft tissue sarcoma, soft tissue tumor surveillance, and the role of interventional radiology.
Eur Radiol
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- The ESSR updated its 2015 consensus on soft tissue tumor imaging due to advancements in technology and updated classifications.
- A panel of 46 radiologists from 12 European countries used a validated Delphi method to reach consensus on imaging strategies, resulting in high agreement on 47 statements.
- Key findings highlight that MRI is preferred for monitoring soft tissue sarcomas, with chest CT recommended for assessing metastasis and interventional radiology playing a role in treating specific cases.
Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on pre-professional female adolescent dancers to examine the prevalence of delayed bone maturation and menstrual cycle irregularities, as well as their potential links to low back pain (LBP).
- - Findings revealed that while many dancers experienced delayed bone maturation (32%) or menstrual cycle issues (53%), these conditions were not linked to LBP; however, those with a history of LBP started dancing at a younger age and had noticeable hip rotation differences.
- - The conclusion emphasized that while certain physical impairments were common among the dancers, only early dance training, hip asymmetry, and reduced internal hip rotation were significantly associated with the occurrence of LBP.
Rapid antimicrobial drug administration is crucial for the efficient treatment of sepsis or septic shock, but empirical therapy is limited by the increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Thus, rapid and reliable antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is needed to start appropriate antimicrobial drug administration as quickly as possible. In the present study, we evaluated the performance of the Reveal rapid AST system.

Objectives: Totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting (TECAB) is a minimally invasive approach to achieve surgical revascularization through a minimally invasive approach. Still, data regarding non-robotic TECAB are limited. This report presents the results of a TECAB technique using long-shafted instruments, defined as Endo-CABG, from a single-centre experience in 1500 consecutive patients.

January 2025
Objectives: The revised European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology (ESSR) consensus guidelines on soft tissue tumor imaging represent an update of 2015 after technical advancements, further insights into specific entities, and revised World Health Organization (2020) and AJCC (2017) classifications. This second of three papers covers algorithms once histology is confirmed: (1) standardized whole-body staging, (2) special algorithms for non-malignant entities, and (3) multiplicity, genetic tumor syndromes, and pitfalls.
Materials And Methods: A validated Delphi method based on peer-reviewed literature was used to derive consensus among a panel of 46 specialized musculoskeletal radiologists from 12 European countries.
