Background This study aimed to compare the accuracy of different imaging modalities in the preoperative localization of parathyroid pathology in primary hyperparathyroidism. Methodology This prospective study enrolled 70 patients who were biochemically diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism between 2021 and 2022 at our center. Patients underwent scanning using three imaging modalities, namely, Tc99m sestamibi scan (sestamibi), parathyroid ultrasonography, and four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT).

Saccular disorders are rare representing only 1.5 % of all laryngeal anomalies. Bifid epiglottis is also an extremely rare congenital anomaly that usually occurs in a syndromic picture in association with other anomalies such as polydactyly, cleft palate and micrognathia, which are seen in Pallister-Hall Syndrome and rarely with other syndromes.

The aim of this study was to assess the evolution of MRI characteristics of cerebellar tubers in children with TSC longitudinally.
Methods: The MRI features of cerebellar tubers including number, location, shape, enhancement, presence of hemorrhage, calcifications, retraction, and the longitudinal changes of these features were assessed in children with TSC.
Purpose: Describe mammographic, sonographic and MRI findings of invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) of the breast.
Materials And Methods: Review of the pathology database identified 43 patients (mean age, 59.3 years) with the diagnosis of breast IMPC.
Epilepsy surgery is an effective treatment in selected patients with localization-related intractable epilepsy. The success of epilepsy surgery is in part dependent upon identification of a lesion on MRI. In infants, the surgical epileptogenic substrates include focal cortical dysplasia (FCD), hemimegalencephaly, tuberous sclerosis complex, Sturge Weber syndrome, hypoxic-ischemic or cerebrovascular injury and low-grade tumor.

However, there were case reports that suggested DNET may not be as benign as previously thought. The purpose of our study was to identify atypical location, characteristics, and behavior of DNET in children.
