Abbreviated magnetic resonance imaging in hepatocellular carcinoma surveillance: A review.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common primary malignancies of the liver and a leading cause for cancer-related deaths worldwide. HCC surveillance aims at early detection. The recommended strategy for screening HCC is biannual ultrasound with or without alpha-fetoprotein.

Autoimmune disorders of the gastrointestinal tract: Review of radiological appearances.

Autoimmune gastrointestinal (GI) disorders comprise a heterogeneous group of diseases with non-specific clinical manifestations. These are divided into primary and secondary. A high index of clinical suspicion complemented with endoscopic and radiological imaging may allow early diagnosis.

Abbreviated non-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis.

Aim: To investigate the performance of T2-weighted abbreviated magnetic resonance imaging (T2W-AMRI) protocol in evaluating patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP).

Methods: A retrospective analysis of consecutive hospitalized patients with ANP who underwent MRI (contrast-enhanced, CE or non-contrast, NC) between January 2017 and November 2020 was performed. The T2W-AMRI and complete MRI (cMRI) sequences were anonymized, and subsequently, two separate sets of data (AMRI and cMRI) were created for presentation to the radiologists involved in reading the data.
