Introduction: This study assessed replacing traditional protocol CT-arterial chest and venous abdomen and pelvis, with a single-pass, single-bolus, venous phase CT chest, abdomen and pelvis (CAP) protocol in general oncology outpatients at a single centre.

Methods: A traditional protocol is an arterial phase chest followed by venous phase abdomen and pelvis. A venous CAP (vCAP) protocol is a single acquisition 60 s after contrast injection, with optional arterial phase upper abdomen based on the primary tumour.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to describe the radiological features of different subtypes of orbital lymphoma through a multi-center retrospective analysis involving 88 patients in Australia and the U.S.
  • The most common lymphoma subtypes identified were extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL), follicular lymphoma (FL), and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), with DLBCL linked to several clinical symptoms such as vision changes and pain.
  • While no significant radiological differences were found between lymphoma subtypes on imaging, aggressive subtypes (like DLBCL) were more likely to show globe indentation compared to indolent ones.

Introduction: This study assesses the burden, distribution, and evolution of muscle inflammation and damage on MRI among subtypes of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM).

Methods: Musculoskeletal MRIs performed in 66 patients with IIM and 10 patients with non-IIM between 2009 and 2016 were retrospectively graded for muscle edema, fatty replacement (FR), and atrophy.

Results: Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) patients had severe and extensive lower limb muscle edema, FR, and atrophy.

Background: Extracapsular spread (ECS) of lymph node metastases is associated with poor prognosis and is an indication for adjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Accurately identifying ECS using imaging may allow us to recommend primary chemoradiotherapy to avoid trimodality treatment. We investigated the accuracy of staging CT in diagnosing ECS in P16 + oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC).
