Until recently, the use of direct contrast examinations with oral or intracavitary contrast agents was widespread in all general radiology departments. It provided significant answers to multiple clinical questions on the enteric organs and their mucosal surfaces. With the increased availability of CT and MRI, which also allow for the study of walls, as well as the accessibility of endoscopic examinations, the request and execution of fluoroscopy contrast studies have fallen considerably. Despite this, fluoroscopy contrast exams are still useful in specific clinical queries; therefore, radiologists should be able to provide their diagnostic contributions. This pictorial essay of clinical cases collected in our radiology department demonstrates the current demand for these examinations, the variety of the clinical questions we are called upon to answer and the need for continued expertise in execution and diagnostic interpretation of such studies.

Neoadjuvant Therapy (NT) has become the gold standard for treating locally advanced Breast Cancer (BC). The assessment of pathological response (pR) post-NT plays a crucial role in predicting long-term survival, with Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) currently recognised as the preferred imaging modality for its evaluation. Traditional imaging techniques, such as Digital Mammography (DM) and Ultrasonography (US), encounter difficulties in post-NT assessments due to breast density, lesion changes, fibrosis, and molecular patterns.

In academic and research settings, computer-aided nodule detection software has been shown to increase accuracy, efficiency, and throughput. However, radiologists need to be familiar with the spectrum of errors that can occur when these algorithms are employed in routine clinical settings. We review the spectrum of errors that may result from computer-aided nodule detection.

The dengue virus, a member of the family Flaviviridae, is transmitted by mosquitoes and causes a viral disease known as dengue fever that is prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. It is estimated that there are 100-400 million new infections every year, with underreporting due to limited surveillance systems. The presentation ranges from asymptomatic to dengue shock syndrome.
