Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on lymphoproliferative neoplasms, particularly Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, evaluating the usefulness of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) as a predictor of treatment outcomes.
- ADC was measured in 27 patients at two points: before treatment and on the first day of the second chemotherapy cycle, revealing a significant increase from pre-treatment (720 mm/s) to post-treatment (1059 mm/s).
- Findings suggest that lower ADC values before treatment and specific cutoff values post-treatment can indicate the likelihood of disease progression and may serve as essential prognostic markers in lymphoma therapy.
Purpose: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the usefulness of hydro-CT in the diagnosis of gastric tumors in comparison to endoscopy.
Material And Methods: The study involved 40 patients with a diagnosis of gastric tumor established by histopathology who underwent endoscopy and conventional or low-dose hydro-CT. Hydro-CT images were retrospectively analyzed based on the consensus of two radiologists who were blinded to the endoscopy findings.
Popliteal artery thrombosis may present as a complication of an osteochondroma located in the vicinity of the knee joint. This is a case report of a 26-year-old man with symptoms of the right lower extremity ischaemia without a previous history of vascular disease or trauma. Plain radiography, magnetic resonance angiography and Doppler ultrasonography documented the presence of an osteochondrous structure of the proximal tibial metaphysis, which displaced and compressed the popliteal artery, causing its occlusion due to intraluminal thrombosis.

Authors present an evaluation of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) images of temporal bone and paranasal sinuses of patients with acromegaly.
Conclusions: 1.
Background: Post-surgical evaluation of the pituitary gland in MRI is difficult because of a change in anatomical conditions. It depends also on numerous other factors, including: size and expansion of the tumour before surgery, type of surgical access, quality and volume of implanted materials and time of its resorption. The purpose was to demonstrate the characteristics of the implanted materials on MRI performed after transsphenoidal resection of pituitary tumours and to identify imaging criteria helpful in differential diagnosis of masses within the sellar region.
