AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
A 60-year-old man was referred for staging of prostate cancer. Initial CT scan demonstrated soft tissue lesions in bilateral renal hila, which demonstrated mild 68 Ga-PSMA avidity and moderate FDG avidity on sequential PET scans suspicious for malignancy. Biopsy confirmed adrenal cortical tissue. This case highlights an exceedingly rare occurrence of ectopic adrenocortical tissue in both renal hila.

Diagnostic Performance of Renal Contrast Excretion on Early-Phase CT Myelography in Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension.

Background And Purpose: Early opacification of the renal collecting system during CT myelography (CTM) performed for the evaluation of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) has been demonstrated in prior studies. However, these investigations often included CTMs scanned >30 minutes after intrathecal contrast injection, a longer delay than the myelographic techniques used in current practice. The purpose of this study was to determine whether renal contrast excretion (RCE) measured during this earlier time period (≤30 minutes) can discriminate patients with SIH from patients without SIH.

In kidney transplantation, survival rates are still partly impaired due to the deleterious effects of donor specific HLA antibodies (DSA). However, not all luminex-defined DSA appear to be clinically relevant. Further analysis of DSA recognizing polymorphic amino acid configurations, called eplets or functional epitopes, might improve the discrimination between clinically relevant vs.

Background: Many imaging scoring models have been developed for tumor surgery to provide critical guidance for the selection of surgical methods. However, little research has been aimed at developing scoring models for adrenal tumors and retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenal surgery (RLAS), which has become the primary technique for treating adrenal tumors. The study set out to establish a computed tomography (CT)-based adrenal tumor scoring model for predicting perioperative outcomes in patients with adrenal tumors who have undergone RLAS.

Solid phase immunoassays improved the detection and determination of the antigen-specificity of donor-specific antibodies (DSA) to human leukocyte antigens (HLA). The widespread use of SPI in kidney transplantation also introduced new clinical dilemmas, such as whether patients should be monitored for DSA pre- or post-transplantation. Pretransplant screening through SPI has become standard practice and DSA are readily determined in case of suspected rejection.
