Objectives: The novel CT-TDV scoring system, identifying T3 + disease; the presence/absence of tumour deposits and EMVI has been shown to be superior in predicting prognosis when compared to the CT-TNM staging system in the evaluation of colon cancer. Reproducibility of this scoring system between specialist GI radiologists has not been assessed previously. The aim of this study was to assess the inter-rater agreement of gastrointestinal radiologists in assessing the novel pre-operative CT-TDV scoring of patients with potentially curable right-sided colon cancer.

Aim: To audit the performance of computed tomography colonography (CTC) at St Mark's Hospital against the joint British Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (BSGAR) and Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) standards.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective audit of all CTC studies between January 2012 to December 2017 was performed against the BSGAR/RCR standards along with additional data outwith the guidelines. Evidence was obtained from a central database, radiology information systems (RISs), picture archiving and communication systems (PACSs), and electronic patient records (EPRs).

The adrenal gland may exhibit a wide variety of pathologic conditions. A number of imaging techniques can be used to characterize these, although it is not always possible to attain a definitive diagnosis radiologically. Incorrect diagnoses may be made if radiologists are not attentive to technical parameters and interpretive factors associated with adrenal gland imaging.

A 67-year-old woman presented with left-sided headache and blurred vision, worse during hypertensive episodes. CT angiography showed a 4 mm left internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysm incorporating the ophthalmic artery. She passed a test balloon occlusion, so the aneurysm was coil occluded, without immediate complication.

We report a rare case of an encephalopathic presentation of a posterior fossa dural arteriovenous fistula with concomitant florid symmetrical bithalamic free diffusivity changes on MRI in a previously healthy individual. We describe the structural and functional imaging findings and the role of catheter angiography in diagnosis, prognostication and the timing and strategy in the management of this challenging vascular entity.
