Radiological Perspectives in Congenital Sensorineural Hearing Loss: Insights from Cochlear Implant Candidates.

Congenital hearing loss is a significant health concern, with diverse etiologies encompassing cochlear and cochleovestibular pathologies. Preoperative radiological evaluation in cochlear implant candidates is pivotal for treatment planning. We aim to elucidate the spectrum of radiological findings in patients with congenital hearing loss undergoing cochlear implant assessment.

Diagnostic Characteristics and Clinical Relevance of Incidental Hypermetabolic Breast Lesions Detected on F-FDG PET-CT: A Retrospective Evaluation.

Rationale And Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate demographic and radiological characteristics of breast incidentalomas found on 18-fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (F-FDG PET-CT) performed for extramammary indications.

Materials And Methods: A total of 12633 F-FDG PET-CT scans performed between January 1, 2018 and January 1, 2024, were retrospectively reviewed. Breast incidentalomas that had undergone breast imaging, tissue diagnosis, or at least 2-year radiological follow-up were included.

An appraisal and comparative analysis of superb microvascular imaging with conventional ultrasound and MRI for greater trochanteric pain syndrome management.

Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is a common cause of hip pain and is often associated with chronic lower back pain and lower extremity osteoarthritis. Its diagnosis is clinical; however, imaging has been shown to aid in the differential diagnosis of challenging cases. Superb microvascular imaging (SMI) is a new technique that may be more effective than power Doppler ultrasonography (PDUS) in the detection of inflammation-related vascularity in patients.

A review of multiple diagnostic approaches in the undiagnosed diseases network to identify inherited metabolic diseases.

Background: The number of known inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs) has been expanding, and the rate of diagnosis is improving with the development of innovative approaches including next generation sequencing (NGS). However, a substantial proportion of IMDs remain undetected by traditional diagnostic approaches. We aim to highlight the spectrum of IMDs diagnosed by the Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) and to learn from the UDN diagnostic processes that were able to detect IMDs.
