Impact of the 2023 FIGO Staging System for Endometrial Cancer on the Use of Imaging Services: An Indian Perspective.

The new 2023 update of the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging system for endometrial cancer incorporates the advances made in the understanding of the pathology and molecular classifications into the staging system. While the new staging system aids in precision medicine and may lead to better documentation of prognostic risk categories of endometrial cancer, it is complex and calls for an integrated approach and better communication between multiple disciplines involved in the management of endometrial cancer. In this review article, we address how the referral patterns to imaging services might change considering the updated staging system for endometrial cancer.

Scoring system for predicting ovarian necrosis in adnexal torsion using an ultra-short optimized MRI protocol.

Purpose: To evaluate a MRI scoring system predicting haemorrhagic necrosis in adnexal torsion with intraoperative and/or histopathological correlation using an abbreviated and optimized MRI protocol.

Methods: This retrospective observational study includes patients with adnexal torsion who underwent Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) and surgery. T2 sequences were evaluated by three observers of varying experience for following findings: Hypo-intensity of ovarian stroma, around the follicle, cyst wall or ovarian capsule and the twisted pedicle.

Radiological Spectrum of Pseudoangiomatous Stromal Hyperplasia of Breast-A Case Series.

Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) is a benign mesenchymal tumor-like lesion of the breast. It is commonly seen as incidental background changes of the intralobular stroma in biopsy specimens performed for other breast lesions. Less frequently, it presents as a nodular form that has a benign morphology on imaging, mimicking fibroadenoma or as a diffuse form causing progressive massive gigantomastia.

Comparison of T2 relaxometry and PET CT in the evaluation of patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy using video EEG as the reference standard.

Purpose: Our study aimed to compare the sensitivity of T2 relaxometry and positron emission tomography - computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients with a history suggestive of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy using video electroencephalography (EEG) as the reference standard.

Material And Methods: In our study, 35 patients with a history suggestive of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy were subjected to conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), T2 relaxometry, and PET/CT. The results of each of the studies were compared with video EEG findings.

Does dual-energy abdominal computed tomography increase the radiation dose to patients: a prospective observational study.

Purpose: The aim of our study was to compare single-energy (SECT) and dual-energy (DECT) abdominal computed tomography (CT) examinations in matched patient cohorts regarding the differences in effective radiation dose (ERD) and image quality performed in a third-generation dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) scanner.

Material And Methods: Our study included 100 patients, who were divided randomly into 2 groups. The patients included in Group A were scanned by SECT, and Group B members were scanned by DECT.

Estimation of Accuracy of B-Mode Sonography and Elastography in Differentiation of Benign and Malignant Lymph Nodes With Cytology as Reference Standard: A Prospective Study.

Purpose:  To prospectively estimate the reliability of B-mode ultrasonography and sonoelastography in differentiating benign and malignant cervical lymph nodes with cytological findings as to the reference standard.

Materials And Methods: A total of 50 patients referred for sonography for enlarged cervical lymph nodes were included in the study. They were subjected initially to B-mode ultrasonography and sonoelastography and later underwent fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in the same sitting.

Renal Lymphangiectasia: An Unusual Mimicker of Cystic Renal Disease - A Case Series and Literature Review.

Cystic renal lesions are commonly seen on a daily basis in abdominal imaging. Even though most cystic renal lesions are benign simple cysts, complex and multifocal cystic renal diseases are also common with a vast number of differentials. One of the rare mimickers of this condition is renal lymphangiectasia, and the disease can be diagnosed if radiologists are aware of the imaging findings, and this can help the physician to offer the appropriate treatment.
