Until recently, invasive angiographic procedures were necessary to verify the diagnosis of anomalous pulmonary venous drainage. Because of their location outside the "acoustic window" these anomalies are unsuitable for echocardiographic examination. Two cases are reported where the diagnosis was confirmed by magnetic resonance tomography (MRT). This method allows an accurate, non-invasive assessment of these structures.

The cortex and cerebellum are densely connected through reciprocal input/output projections that form segregated circuits. These circuits are shown to differentially connect anterior lobules of the cerebellum to sensorimotor regions, and lobules Crus I and II to prefrontal regions. This differential connectivity pattern leads to the hypothesis that individual differences in structure should be related, especially for connected regions.

Retroperitoneal teratomas are rare neoplasms in neonates, presenting with nonspecific symptoms and variable clinical features, making diagnosis challenging. Radiological investigations, particularly fetal ultrasound and contrast-enhanced computed tomography, play a critical role in their detection. Differential diagnoses include neuroblastoma, adrenal hemorrhage, and congenital cystic lesions, which share overlapping clinical and imaging features.

Background: The prevalence of multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant pathogens has led to increased reliance on broad-spectrum antimicrobials, such as tigecycline. This medicine is commonly used to treat complicated skin and intraabdominal infections as well as community-acquired pneumonia. However, the increasing use of tigecycline has been linked to serious complications, including acute pancreatitis.

As the population of adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) grows, there also grows an expanded need for non-invasive surveillance methods to guide management and intervention. A multimodal imaging approach layers complementary insights from echocardiography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and other modalities into a clinician's view of patient physiology. Merely applying strategies from acquired adult cardiac disease would be inadequate and potentially misleading.

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) continue to be the world's greatest cause of death. To evaluate heart function and diagnose coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) has become essential. Artificial intelligence (AI) methods have been incorporated into diagnostic methods such as MPI to improve patient outcomes in recent years.
