Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU) has emerged as a powerful imaging modality in pediatric urology, offering comprehensive anatomical and functional assessment of the urinary tract without exposure to ionizing radiation. This review provides an in-depth analysis of MRU's technical aspects, clinical applications, advantages, and recent advancements. Traditional imaging techniques, such as ultrasound, voiding cystourethrography, and nuclear scintigraphy, have long been utilized for evaluating pediatric urinary tract anomalies; however, these methods have inherent limitations in anatomical resolution and functional assessment.

In the context of nuclear emergency preparedness, the level of radiation knowledge among healthcare professionals-such as doctors, nurses, and radiographers-directly influences the effectiveness and safety of emergency responses. This study aims to address this gap by evaluating the radiation knowledge of medical personnel and identifying areas for improvement in profession-specific training programs.

Background: Digital Health Records (DHR) have become essential for managing patient data, including radiology and nuclear medicine reports. The wider adoption of DHR globally presents an opportunity to improve patient engagement and empowerment through effective access and sharing of imaging investigations. This review aims to synthesize literature on views, experiences, expectations, and preferences of oncology patients and healthcare professionals (HCP) when accessing imaging via DHR.

Alveolar echinococcosis (AE), caused by the larval stage of the tapeworm , is a serious parasitic disease that presents significant health risks and challenges for both patients and healthcare systems. Accurate and timely diagnosis is essential for effective management and improved patient outcomes. This review summarizes the latest diagnostic methods for AE, focusing on serological tests and imaging techniques such as ultrasonography (US), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT).
