Pelvic venous disorders in women - diagnosis and therapy.

Chronic pelvic pain may cause a significant reduction in the quality of life for affected women, and the extent of the limitation is often underestimated. Chronic pain can lead to lifelong problems. Currently, PCS is probably significantly underdiagnosed as a cause of chronic pelvic pain in women.

A case report of an unrecognized osteoid osteoma of the proximal femur.

We present the case of a 59-year-old male patient with unrecognized osteoid osteoma in radiography as well as in magnetic resonance imaging. Computed tomography revealed osteoid osteoma that was successfully treated with percutaneous computed tomography guided radiofrequency ablation. The osseous pathology was underestimated on magnetic resonance imaging in the presented case and bone marrow edema led to incorrect diagnosis.

[Ablative treatment options for locally advanced unresectable and borderline resectable pancreatic carcinoma].

Background: Locally advanced unresectable (nonmetastatic) and borderline resectable pancreatic carcinomas represent a therapeutic challenge. Several minimally invasive local ablative techniques are available for local treatment in these situations.

Objective: Which interventional techniques and application options are currently available for pancreatic carcinoma and which oncological results could be achieved so far?

Material And Methods: An analysis of reviews and studies was carried out.

[Laparoscopic Left Hemihepatectoy Applying Intraoperative Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Detection Counter Perfusion Method for Visualization].

Intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence detection by the "counter perfusion method" is a useful tool to identify hepatic segments and intersegmental planes during anatomic liver resection. We report of a 54-year old patient with recurrent cholangitis due to Caroli disease, who underwent a laparoscopic hemihepatectomy. To determine the resection line and resection plane, we injected ICG intravenously after clamping/ligating the left hepatic artery and left portal vein.

In-bore biopsies of the prostate assisted by a remote-controlled manipulator at 1.5 T.

Purpose: To evaluate the technical and clinical utility of a fully MRI-compatible, pneumatically driven remote-controlled manipulator (RCM) for targeted biopsies of the prostate at 1.5 T.

Materials And Methods: The data of the first 22 patients that were biopsied under robotic assistance were analyzed.

Analysis of Patients' X-ray Exposure in 146 Percutaneous Radiologic Gastrostomies.

 Analysis of patient´s X-ray exposure during percutaneous radiologic gastrostomies (PRG) in a larger population.  Data of primary successful PRG-procedures, performed between 2004 and 2015 in 146 patients, were analyzed regarding the exposition to X-ray. Dose-area-product (DAP), dose-length-product (DLP) respectively, and fluoroscopy time (FT) were correlated with the used x-ray systems (Flatpanel Detector (FD) vs.

Psoas abscess secondary to retroperitoneal distant metastases from squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix with thrombosis of the inferior vena cava and duodenal infiltration treated by Whipple procedure: A case report and review of the literature.

Background: Psoas abscess is a rare clinical disease of various origins. Most common causes include hematogenous spread of bacteria from a different primary source, spondylodiscitis or perforated intestinal organs. But rarely some abscesses are related to malignant metastatic disease.

Navigated MRI-guided liver biopsies in a closed-bore scanner: experience in 52 patients.

Objectives: To evaluate clinical effectiveness and diagnostic efficiency of a navigation device for MR-guided biopsies of focal liver lesions in a closed-bore scanner.

Methods: In 52 patients, 55 biopsies were performed. An add-on MR navigation system with optical instrument tracking was used for image guidance and biopsy device insertion outside the bore.
