Currently, radiologists must interpret large quantities of images and identify diseases on a daily basis. The minimization of errors is crucial for high-quality diagnostic imaging and optimal patient care. Brain imaging is frequently used in clinical practice; however, radiologists are prone to overlook some regions in brain imaging and make perceptual errors, thus leading to missed diagnoses.

The middle cerebellar peduncle (MCP) is the largest afferent system of the cerebellum and consists of fibres from the cortico-ponto-cerebellar tract. Specifically, several relevant diseases can present with hyperintensity in the MCP on T2-weighted/fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (T2/FLAIR) magnetic resonance imaging sequences, including multiple sclerosis; acute disseminated encephalomyelitis; neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder; progressive multifocal leucoencephalopathy; hepatic encephalopathy; osmotic demyelination syndrome; multiple system atrophy; fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome; megalencephalic leucoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts; spinocerebellar ataxias; hemi-pontine infarct with trans-axonal degeneration; and diffuse midline glioma with the histone H3K27M mutation. The aim of this pictorial review is to discuss the imaging findings that are relevant for the differential diagnosis of diseases presenting with MCP hyperintensity on T2/FLAIR sequences.

Sclerosing bone dysplasias encompass abnormalities in bone density, divided into hereditary and nonhereditary forms. Primarily diagnosed through radiography, they are often incidental findings. Among the hereditary forms, the following stand out: osteopetrosis, osteopoikilosis, multiple diaphyseal sclerosis (ribbing disease), osteopathia striata, and Camurati-Engelmann disease.

Magnetic resonance imaging is an essential tool for the assessment of the scrotum, particularly in cases with inconclusive ultrasound findings. It has a great capacity to differentiate between intratesticular and extratesticular lesions, as well as between neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions. By providing an accurate characterization of lesions, magnetic resonance imaging plays a crucial role in preoperative tumor staging and decision-making.

Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is a rare and challenging subset of the more frequently encountered urothelial carcinomas (UCs), comprising roughly 5-7% of all UCs and less than 10% of all renal tumors. Hematuria is a common presenting symptom in the emergency setting, often prompting imaging to rule out serious etiologies, with UTUC especially posing as a diagnostic challenge. These UTUC lesions of the kidney and ureter are often small, mimicking other pathologies, and are more aggressive than typical UC of the bladder, emphasizing the importance of timely and accurate diagnosis.
