Imaging findings and clinical features of atypical retroperitoneal abscess caused by duodenal perforation: a case report and review of the literature.

Introduction: A retroperitoneal abscess caused by duodenal perforation is a relatively rare disease clinically. We report the case of a patient with a local high-density shadow at the head of the retroperitoneal pancreas.

Case Presentation: A 28-year-old Chinese man presented with fever and abdominal pain after overeating and heavy drinking.

Imaging findings of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in breast: A case report.

Rationale: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs), particularly breast IMTs, are rare neoplastic lesions typically associated with a favorable prognosis. Breast IMTs are easily misdiagnosed as other types of malignant lesions, and therefore there is a significant unmet need for a better preoperational differential diagnosis based on imaging manifestations. Here, we report the imaging findings of a breast IMT and compare our findings with previously published features of breast IMTs.

Quantitative evaluation of intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM) for differential diagnosis and grading prediction of benign and malignant breast lesions.

Background: That breast carcinoma is the most common malignant lesion in women. This study aimed to differentiate benign from malignant breast lesions and to predict grading of the latter by comparing the diagnostic value of different parameters in intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI).

Materials And Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed utilizing imaging and pathological data from 112 patients with 124 breast lesions that underwent IVIM-DWI examination with 3.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the lumbar spinal canal: A Case Report With Literature Review.

Rationale: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare type of mesenchymal tumor. IMT can arise in multiple anatomic locations. IMT of the lumbar spinal canal is exceptionally rare.

Diagnostic Value of Dual-Source Computerized Tomography Combined with Perfusion Imaging for Peripheral Pulmonary Embolism.

Background: Pulmonary embolism has become the third most common cardiovascular disease, which can seriously harm human health.

Objectives: To investigate the diagnostic value of dual-source computerized tomography (CT) and perfusion imaging for peripheral pulmonary embolism.

Patients And Methods: Thirty-two patients with suspected pulmonary embolism underwent dual-source CT exams.

Comparative study of image quality between axial T2-weighted BLADE and turbo spin-echo MRI of the upper abdomen on 3.0 T.

Objective: To compare image quality of turbo spin-echo (TSE) with BLADE [which is also named periodically rotated overlapping parallel lines with enhanced reconstruction (PROPELLER)] on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for upper abdomen.

Materials And Methods: This study involved the retrospective evaluation of 103 patients (63 males, 40 females; age range 19-76 years; median age 53.8 years) who underwent 3.

[Comparative study of identification of pulmonary perfusion with dual source computed tomography in diagnosing pulmonary embolism].

Objective: To explore the diagnostic value of dual source computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosing acute pulmonary embolism (PE).

Methods: A total of 20 cases with suspected PE were scanned by dual source CT and the data were analyzed with the software packages of conventional 3D, pulmonary embolism detection (PED), lung vessels and lung PBV. The examination with the highest detection rate was used to screen for pulmonary segment of PE and verify the diagnostic consistency with dual-energy perfusion imaging (DEPI) on pulmonary segment of PE.
