Preoperative Prostate MRI: A Road Map for Surgery.

Objective: MRI of the prostate is widely used in prostate cancer for local staging. The purpose of this article is to show how preoperative prostate MRI findings may be used as a road map for surgery to preserve the neurovascular bundle, identify risk factors associated with positive surgical margins, and evaluate findings associated with intraoperative complications and functional recovery after surgery.

Conclusion: Knowledge of surgically relevant imaging findings can increase radiologists' confidence in reporting them to our colleagues.

Erratum to: Fertility-sparing for young patients with gynecologic cancer: How MRI can guide patient selection prior to conservative management.

The original version of this article unfortunately contained mistakes. The figures 7D, 7E and 7F were missing in the article and arrows were missing in the figures 6C, 8B and 11C. The year of publication and volume number for references 19, 79 and 87 have been updated.

Fertility-sparing for young patients with gynecologic cancer: How MRI can guide patient selection prior to conservative management.

Historically, cancer treatment has emphasized measures for the "cure" regardless of the long-term consequences. Advances in cancer detection and treatment have resulted in improved outcomes bringing to the fore various quality of life considerations including future fertility. For many young cancer patients, fertility preservation is now an integral component of clinical decision-making and treatment design.

Chest CT abnormalities and quality of life: relationship in adult cystic fibrosis.

Background: To evaluate the relationship between lung parenchymal abnormalities on chest CT and health-related quality of life in adult cystic fibrosis (CF).

Methods: The chest CT scans of 101 consecutive CF adults (mean age 27.8±7.

Magnetic resonance enterography findings as predictors of clinical outcome following antitumor necrosis factor treatment in small bowel Crohn's disease.

Aims: To determine whether specific magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) findings can predict outcome following commencement of antitumor necrosis factor (aTNF) in small bowel Crohn's disease (CD) PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was a single-centre retrospective study of patients with CD who commenced aTNF (infliximab or adalimumab) between 2007 and 2013. Patients who had an MRE within 6 months before commencing aTNF were included. The primary end-point was the need for CD-related surgery.

Value of CT angiography in anterior circulation large vessel occlusive stroke: Imaging findings, pearls, and pitfalls.

Hyperacute stroke imaging is playing an increasingly important role in determining management decisions in acute stroke patients, particularly patients with large vessel occlusive stroke who may benefit from endovascular intervention. CT angiography (CTA) is an important tool in the work-up of the acute stroke patient. It reliably detects large occlusive thrombi in proximal cerebral arteries and is a quick and highly accurate method in identifying candidates for endovascular stroke treatment.

Cystic Fibrosis below the Diaphragm: Abdominal Findings in Adult Patients.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common lethal autosomal recessive disease in the white population. Mutation of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator gene on chromosome 7 results in production of abnormally viscous mucus and secretions in the lungs of patients with CF. A similar pathologic process occurs in the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, and hepatobiliary system.

Endovascular recanalisation of an acute superior mesenteric artery occlusion. A case report and review of the literature.

Introduction: Acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) continues to have a high mortality, ranging from 60 to 80%.

Presentation Of Case: A 78-year-old male presented with a 20-hour history of abdominal pain, secondary to a superior mesenteric artery (SMA) thromboembolic occlusion diagnosed on computed tomography (CT) angiography. Following confirmation of bowel viability at laparotomy, endovascular intervention using combined thrombolysis, angioplasty and thromboaspiration was performed.

"EcoRadiology"--pulling the plug on wasted energy in the radiology department.

Rationale And Objectives: We sought to evaluate the power consumption of various devices around the radiology department, audit our use of recycling, and review efforts by vendors to reduce the environmental impact of their products.

Materials And Methods: Using a readily available power monitor, we calculated the power consumption of different devices around our department. In particular, we calculated the financial and environmental cost of leaving equipment on overnight and/or at weekends.

Bicuspid aortic valves: diagnostic accuracy of standard axial 64-slice chest CT compared to aortic valve image plane ECG-gated cardiac CT.

Objectives: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of standard axial 64-slice chest CT compared to aortic valve image plane ECG-gated cardiac CT for bicuspid aortic valves.

Materials And Methods: The standard axial chest CT scans of 20 patients with known bicuspid aortic valves were blindly, randomly analyzed for (i) the appearance of the valve cusps, (ii) the largest aortic sinus area, (iii) the longest aortic cusp length, (iv) the thickest aortic valve cusp and (v) valve calcification. A second blinded reader independently analyzed the appearance of the valve cusps.

Hepatocellular carcinoma: illustrated guide to systematic radiologic diagnosis and staging according to guidelines of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases.

Hepatocellular carcinoma is a malignancy that predominantly occurs in the setting of cirrhosis. Its incidence is rising worldwide. Hepatocellular carcinoma differs from most malignancies because it is commonly diagnosed on the basis of imaging features alone, without histologic confirmation.

Poststernotomy lymphadenopathy: prevalence, size, and location on chest CT.

Purpose: We aimed to determine the prevalence of enlarged lymph nodes (LNs) in chest computed tomography (CT) scans of patients with a history of sternotomy.

Materials And Methods: The chest CT scans of 271 patients with a history of sternotomy (mean age, 68.3±14.
