Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of texture analysis on T2-weighted axial images in differentiating affected and nonaffected ovaries in ovarian torsion.
Methods: We included 22 torsioned ovaries and 19 healthy ovaries. All patients were surgically proven ovarian torsion cases. On T2-weighted axial images, ovarian borders were delineated by the consensus of two radiologists for magnetic resonance imaging-based texture analysis. Statistical differences between texture features of affected and nonaffected ovaries were assessed.
Results: A total of 44 texture features were extracted from each ovary using LIFEx software. Of these, 17 features were significantly different between affected and nonaffected ovaries in ovarian torsion. NGLDM_Coarseness and NGLDM_Contrast, which are the neighborhood gray-level difference matrix parameters, had the largest area under the curve: 0.923. The best cutoff values for the NGLDM_Contrast and NGLDM_Coarseness were 0.45 and 0.01, respectively. With these cutoff levels, NGLDM_Contrast had the best accuracy (85.37%).
Conclusion: Magnetic resonance imaging-based texture analysis on axial T2-weighted images may help differentiate affected and nonaffected ovaries in ovarian torsion.

Purpose: We aimed to describe the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of adnexal torsion, additional radiological findings and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements of the affected and non-affected ovaries.
Methods: We retrospectively examined the MRI of 34 torsed adnexa of 34 cases. We specifically examined the peripherally displaced follicle sign, stromal edema, lack of stromal contrast enhancement, follicular rim sign, T2 hypointense rim sign, uterine deviation, adnexal displacement, whirlpool sign, T2 hypointense dot sign, and tubal thickening.

Purpose: Conservative surgical management of adnexal torsion in pre- and post-menarchal girls by de-torsion and adnexal conservation is the current standard of care. The aim of this study is to investigate the long-term outcome of adnexal torsion in this population in terms of ultrasound appearance and ovarian volume.
Methods: Patients who were surgically treated for adnexal torsion and were < 18 years old at time of surgery were prospectively invited for ultrasound follow-up.

Purpose Of Review: Within the last decade, it was realized that during and after long-duration spaceflight, some astronauts experience ophthalmic abnormalities including refractive changes, optic disc edema, globe flattening, choroidal folds, and cotton wool spots. Much research has been initiated and conducted, but little evidence is available to differentiate affected crewmembers.
Recent Findings: The first published data to distinguish between affected and nonaffected crewmembers identified biochemical differences in affected astronauts: one-carbon pathway metabolite concentrations were higher in these individuals than in nonaffected astronauts, even before flight.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of ovarian torsion.
Methods: We retrospectively identified 84 patients with surgically confirmed ovarian torsion. Seventeen patients with unclear ultrasound findings underwent MRI examination with two different magnetic resonance (MR) systems.
