A 4-year-old German shorthaired pointer presented with collapse and hematochezia. Radiographs showed gas and fluid-distended small intestines and loss of serosal detail. Ultrasound examination showed hypomotile, fluid-distended small intestines, and thrombosed jejunal veins. Multiphasic contrast-enhanced computed tomography was performed and showed a CT "whirl sign," an important but nonspecific sign of intestinal volvulus in human patients. At surgery, the majority of the small intestine was entangled in the volvulus and showed black discoloration. The patient was euthanized. Postmortem evaluation yielded a diagnosis of jejunoileal mesenteric volvulus secondary to a congenital omphalomesenteric duct remnant.

Background: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. The impact of SAH on human glymphatic function remains unknown.
Methods: This prospective, controlled study investigated whether human glymphatic function is altered after SAH, how it differs over time, and possible underlying mechanisms.

Objectives: This study compared the characteristics of lesions suspicious for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and their LI-RADS classifications in adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR) and deep learning reconstruction (DLR) to those of MR images, along with radiologist confidence.
Materials And Methods: This prospective single-center trial included patients who underwent four-phase liver CT and multiphasic contrast-enhanced MRI within 7 days from February to August 2023. The lesion characteristics, LI-RADS classifications and confidence scores according to two radiologists on the ASIR, DLR and MRI techniques were compared.

Background: Anal fistula is a common anorectal disorder that significantly diminishes the quality of life for affected patients. Accurate preoperative evaluation of the fistula's traits is essential for customizing surgical strategies, improving patient outcomes, and reducing the likelihood of the disease returning. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of multi-phase contrast-enhanced fat-suppressed T1-weighted imaging using three-dimensional gradient echo sequence volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination (CE-FS-T1-3D-VIBE) and fat-suppressed T2-weighted imaging combined with diffusion-weighted imaging (FS-T2WI-DWI) sequence in delineating the characteristics of anal fistulas.

The aims of this study are to compare the multiphasic contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) characteristics of infiltrative hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with nodular HCC and to assess the conspicuity of infiltrative HCC on different phases of CECT. This retrospective study comprised consecutive treatment-naive cirrhotic patients diagnosed with infiltrative and nodular HCC between January 2020 and December 2021 based on a multiphasic CECT (comprising arterial, portal venous, and delayed phases). The diagnosis of HCC was based on the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) v2018 criteria (LR-4 and LR-5 lesions).

Aim: To assess the diagnostic accuracy and inter-reader agreement of a simulated abbreviated gadoxetate liver magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol together with contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT) against a standard gadoxetate MRI for the detection of colorectal liver metastases at baseline.
Materials And Methods: Three readers independently evaluated two sets of images per patient, recording number and location of metastases and benign lesions. Set 1 comprised T1w, T2w, DWI, multiphase CE-T1w, and hepatobiliary phase (HBP) images (standard).
