Crohn Disease Active Inflammation Assessment with Iodine Density from Dual-Energy CT Enterography: Comparison with Histopathologic Analysis.

Background Dual-energy CT enterography (DECTE) has been shown to be useful in characterizing Crohn disease activity compared with clinical markers of inflammation but, to the knowledge of the authors, comparison has not been made with histopathologic specimens. Purpose To compare mucosal iodine density obtained at DECTE from Crohn disease-affected bowel with histopathologic specimens from surgically resected ileocolectomy bowel segments or terminal ileum colonoscopic biopsies in the same patients. Materials and Methods This was a retrospective study.

Prediction of Patient Height and Weight With a 3-Dimensional Camera.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine accuracy of height and weight prediction by a 3-dimensional (3D) camera.

Methods: A total of 453 patients whose computed tomography imaging used a 3D camera from December 19, 2018 to March 19, 2019 were retrospectively identified. An image of each patient was taken before the computed tomography by a 3D camera mounted to the ceiling.

Spectrum of imaging findings in gender-affirming genital surgery: Intraoperative photographs, normal post-operative anatomy, and common complications.

Gender-affirming surgery is becoming more accessible, and radiologists must be familiar with both terminology and anatomy following gender-affirming surgical procedures. This essay will review the most common gender-affirming genital surgeries, their post-operative anatomy, and common complications by providing intraoperative photographs, illustrations, and cross-sectional images. Routine radiologic imaging recommendations for transgender patients will also be reviewed.

Defining Glioblastoma Resectability Through the Wisdom of the Crowd: A Proof-of-Principle Study.

Background: Extent of resection (EOR) correlates with glioblastoma outcomes. Resectability and EOR depend on anatomical, clinical, and surgeon factors. Resectability likely influences outcome in and of itself, but an accurate measurement of resectability remains elusive.

Frailty in Geriatric Glioblastoma Patients: A Predictor of Operative Morbidity and Outcome.

Background: Frailty is an emerging means of assessing overall health status and guiding management for geriatric patients. Frailty is associated with outcomes for many surgical indications in this age group. While half of all glioblastoma patients are 65 years old or older, frailty has not been examined in relation to surgery for glioblastoma.

The Safety of Surgery in Elderly Patients with Primary and Recurrent Glioblastoma.

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) occurs more commonly in elderly patients. However, these patients are often excluded from clinical trials. The absence of solid evidence has resulted in a nihilistic view of GBM in the elderly and a traditionally conservative treatment approach.
