Leptomeningeal Masses or Masquerades: A Spectrum of Diseases with Leptomeningeal Enhancement and their Mimics.

Background: Leptomeningeal enhancement, visible on MRI, can indicate a variety of diseases, both neoplastic and non-neoplastic.

Objective: This comprehensive pictorial review aims to equip radiologists and trainees with a thorough understanding of the diverse imaging presentations of leptomeningeal disease.

Methods: Drawing from a retrospective analysis of MRI scans conducted between 1 January 2008 and 30 September 2022, at two tertiary teaching hospitals in Singapore, this review covers a wide range of conditions.

Deploying artificial intelligence in the detection of adult appendicular and pelvic fractures in the Singapore emergency department after hours: efficacy, cost savings and non-monetary benefits.

Introduction: Radiology plays an integral role in fracture detection in the emergency department (ED). After hours, when there are fewer reporting radiologists, most radiographs are interpreted by ED physicians. A minority of these interpretations may miss diagnoses, which later require the callback of patients for further management.

PyFaceWipe: a new defacing tool for almost any MRI contrast.

Rationale And Objectives: Defacing research MRI brain scans is often a mandatory step. With current defacing software, there are issues with Windows compatibility and researcher doubt regarding the adequacy of preservation of brain voxels in non-T1w scans. To address this, we developed PyFaceWipe, a multiplatform software for multiple MRI contrasts, which was evaluated based on its anonymisation ability and effect on downstream processing.

Invasive Streptococcus Pneumoniae Infection Causing Cardioembolic Stroke: A Clinical Proximity to Austrian Syndrome.

Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) is a significant human bacterial pathogen and the major cause of pneumonia. In the post-antibiotic era, S.

A Torted Ruptured Intra-abdominal Testicular Seminoma Presenting As An Acute Abdomen.

The susceptibility of the undescended testis to malignant transformation is well documented. The most common location of the undescended testis is within the inguinal canal, with only a minority located within the abdominal cavity. When a testicular mass develops, the risk of torsion increases.
