Apparent diffusion coefficient values in borderline breast lesions upgraded and not upgraded at definitive histopathological examination after surgical excision.

Purpose: The study aims were to evaluate if the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value could distinguish between breast lesions classified as B3 at core needle biopsy (CNB) that show or do not show atypia or malignancy at definitive histopathological examination (DHE) after surgical excision.

Material And Methods: From January 2013 to December 2017, 141 patients with a B3 breast lesion underwent magnetic resonance imaging and were included in the study. The ADC value was assessed drawing a ROI outlining the entire lesion, evaluating the mean (ADC) and minimum ADC values (ADC).

Dual-energy computed tomography for the detection of sacroiliac joints bone marrow oedema in patients with axial spondyloarthritis.

Objectives: To investigate the diagnostic performance of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) in detection bone marrow oedema (BME) in patients with sacroiliitis associated with axial spondyloarthritis (axial SpA).

Methods: Patients with axial SpA according to the ASAS criteria underwent DECT and 1.5-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Inguinal bladder hernia with lipomatosis of the bladder wall: A potential clinical pitfall for cancer.

A 70-year-old man was referred to the Urology Service of our University Hospital for an irregular thickening of the left anterior-lateral urinary bladder wall found in a computed tomography scan following gross haematuria. In particular, the computed tomography scan showed irregularity of the mucosal aspect and an irregular thickening of the bladder wall in close proximity of an inguinal hernia. The computed tomography exam also showed an unusual little fatty seizure in the parietal planes.
