Juvenile papillomatosis (JP) is a very rare benign proliferative breast disease, especially in young women under 30 years of age. Its etiology is not clear yet. Although some patients have breast cancer in their family history, up to 10% breast cancer can develop in the follow-up of JP patients.

Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and T2/T2* mapping techniques were applied to 41 patients with shoulder pathology, and there were also 20 asymptomatic cases included. The patients were divided into two groups: tendinosis and rupture.

Materials And Methods: Seventy-three patients with histopathologically proven invasive ductal cancer (IDC) were selected. Tumors were classified into molecular subtypes: Luminal A (estrogen receptor (ER)-positive and/or progesterone receptor (PR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2) -negative, proliferation marker Ki-67<20) and Luminal B (ER-positive and/or PR-positive, HER2-positive or HER2-negative with high Ki-67 ≥20).
Background: Platelet-rich plasma has been used to support fat graft retention, but it may include inflammatory mediators such as interleukin-1β. Autologous conditioned serum also contains high levels of various anti-inflammatory cytokines. The authors hypothesized that combining autologous conditioned serum with fat graft would increase fat graft survival more than platelet-rich plasma.

Case And Outcomes: We present a case of an 83-year-old woman who suffered from a very rare complication of acute appendicitis.
Aims: This study aimed to investigate the clinical and chest computed tomography (CT) features associated with clinical parameters for coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in the capital of Turkey, Ankara.
Materials And Methods: Epidemiological, clinical features, laboratory findings and radiological characteristics of 1563 hospitalised patients with COVID-19 in Ankara were collected, reviewed and analysed in this study. The risk factors associated with disease severity were investigated.
Objectives: To investigate if acetabular rim medialization (ARM) can be used as a new parameter in determining the treatment choice and duration in Graf type III and IV hips.
Methods: Among the 12,300 infants who underwent hip ultrasound (US) according to Graf's method between 2015 and 2019, 26 infants (9 had bilateral pathology hence 35 hips) with type III and IV hips, whose follow-up data could be obtained were included in the study. Age of the infants at the initial diagnosis, ARM measurement, the duration of harness treatment, and the treatment results were noted.
Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the ability of native T1 mapping in the determination of myocardial fibrosis in patients with surgically corrected tetralogy of Fallot (TOF).
Methods: We included 35 patients with surgically corrected TOF who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in this study. Additionally, we added pre- and post-contrast T1 mapping sequences at the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and short-axis planes to the routine protocol.
Objectives: To investigate the diagnostic value of a Superb Microvascular Imaging (SMI; Toshiba Medical Systems, Tokyo, Japan) Doppler examination for distinguishing intraductal papilloma (IDP) from duct ectasia with secretion in lesions smaller than 1 cm compared to color Doppler imaging (CDI) and power Doppler imaging (PDI).
Methods: Fifty-nine lesions were evaluated by grayscale ultrasound, CDI, PDI, and SMI. Biopsied tissue samples were analyzed.
Background/aim: Synthetic cannabinoids (SCs) are full agonists of both cannabinoid receptors. Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of SC users are mainly defined as diffusion restriction and T2/FLAIR hyperintensity. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies examining SC users have shown contradictory results.

Purpose: Lymphoid hyperplasia can be an important mimicker of acute appendicitis by creating a non-compressible appendix more than 6 mm in diameter. The aim of this study was to evaluate methods of distinguishing lymphoid hyperplasia and appendicitis on the basis of sonography, lamina propria thickness, and Alvarado scoring.
Methods: This retrospective study included 259 patients (142 appendicitis, 117 lymphoid hyperplasia).
The original article unfortunately contained a mistake. Figure 2b was removed in the article.

Materials And Methods: Patients who had SPN were prospectively evaluated with MRI (T1WI, T2WI) and DWI (b=0, b=500, b=1000).The ADC maps were created for each patient.

Methods: Between April 2015 and March 2016, 94 lesions of 94 patients with the diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma were included in the study. Strain elastography was performed on all patients before biopsy.
Background: Granulomatous mastitis (GM) is a rare inflammatory breast disease that may mimic the clinical characteristics and radiologic imaging findings of breast carcinoma. Considering the importance of making a correct diagnosis, careful radiologic evaluations and recognition of imaging features are necessary.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to review the radiological findings and diagnostic value of the imaging in GM.
Rationale And Objectives: The increasing use of imaging in the emergency department (ED) services has become an important problem on the basis of cost and unnecessary exposure to radiation. Radiographic examination of the chest has been reported to be performed in 34.4% of ED visits, and chest computerized tomography (CCT) in 15.

Materials And Methods: A total of 495 extremities (251 right, 244 left) of 253 patients undergoing a 64-MD CTA examination were included in the study. Of these, 242 extremities were evaluated bilaterally, whereas 11 were evaluated unilaterally.
Background: Arterial dissection is defined as the cleavage of the arterial wall by an intramural hematoma. Reports of dissection of the celiac and/or superior mesenteric artery are rare; as far as we know, only 24 cases of spontaneous isolated celiac trunk dissection, and 71 cases of spontaneous isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection have been reported.
Case Report: The case presents a 48-year-old male with a sudden-onset epigastric pain.
Background: Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is a common disease with a high mortality rate that is difficult to diagnose and treat. Because of the variety of clinical symptoms and signs, it is difficult to diagnose. Therefore, the diagnosis of PTE is mainly confirmed by imaging techniques.
