Imaging plays an important role in the identification and assessment of clinically suspected venous pathology. The purpose of this article is to review the spectrum of image-based diagnostic tools used in the investigation of suspected deep vein disease, both obstructive (deep vein thrombosis and post-thrombotic vein changes) as well as insufficiency (e.g., compression syndromes and pelvic venous insufficiency). Additionally, specific imaging modalities are used for the treatment and during clinical follow-up. The use of duplex ultrasound, magnetic resonance venography, computed tomography venography and intravascular ultrasound as well as conventional venography will be discussed in this pictorial review.

The tumor distance to the main hepatic vessels is a predictor of recurrence-free survival and overall survival in hepatocellular cancer.

Langenbecks Arch Surg

Introduction: The impact of the distance of the tumor from the main hepatic vessels (DTV), such as the Glissonean pedicle or hepatic veins, on oncological outcomes for Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients is relatively understudied. Therefore, the objective of this study was to explore the correlation between DTV and survival in patients with HCC after curative hepatic resection.

Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent curative-intent liver surgery for HCC between April 2018 and May 2023 were identified from a prospective database.

Background: Diffusion tensor imaging along perivascular spaces index (DTI-ALPS), which measures diffusivity increases in the perivascular spaces along the medullary veins, is being increasingly utilized as a surrogate marker of glymphatic clearance (Taoka et. al. Jpn J Radio 2017).

Background: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is currently a clinical diagnosis characterized by decline in memory and daily cognitive function from baseline. Exploratory studies using optical coherence tomography angiography have reported alterations in the retinal capillary plexus vessel density and attenuation of the retinal nerve fiber layer, but these results appear to be mixed. We used ultra-widefield (UWF) imaging to evaluate retinal and choroidal vasculature and structure in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) compared to controls with normal cognition.

Background: Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are small hypointense round lesions that indicate leakage of blood products from cerebral vessels damaged by β-amyloid-40 (Aβ) and typically are detected by T2*-weighted and susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) on MRI. They are indicators of cerebral small vessel diseases, especially cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), affecting cortical small arteries. Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is an advanced MRI imaging technique used to quantify the magnetic susceptibility of tissues in the human body.

Background: Cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO) denotes the amount of O that the brain consumes. Changes in CMRO during aging and neurodegeneration have not been fully characterized. Using a non-invasive, non-contrast MRI CMRO technique, the present study reports CMRO changes in older adults from a total of 526 measurements, the largest CMRO dataset to date.
