Purpose To determine the accuracy of imaging features, such as tumor dimension, multinodularity, nonsmooth margins, peritumoral enhancement, and radiogenomic algorithm based on association between features (internal arteries hypoattenuating halos) gene expression that authors called two-trait predictor venous invasion (TTPVI), in prediction microvascular (MVI) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Materials Methods This single-center retrospective study was approved by institutional review board,...
We report the case of a 78-year-old patient with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction treated primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) right artery, subsequently found to have large subepicardial mass. The underwent non-invasive multimodal diagnostic work-up including cardiac computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, which led diagnosis hematoma following perforation during PCI. Due clinical stability absence active bleeding sources, was managed conservatively gradual...
Background: Bacterial and fungal co-infections superinfections have a critical role in the outcome of COVID-19 patients admitted to Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Methods: The present study is retrospective analysis 95 ICU for COVID-19-related ARDS during first (February−May 2020) second waves pandemic (October 2020−January 2021). Demographic clinical data, CT imaging features, pulmonary extra-pulmonary complications were recorded, as well temporal evolution findings when more than one scan was...
Renal allograft biopsy is the gold standard for detection of histological lesions chronic dysfunction. The identification a noninvasive routine test would be desirable. Elastosonography used to assess tissue stiffness according viscosity, and no data are available on use point quantification shear-wave elastography (ElastPQ) evaluation renal lesions.To evaluate feasibility ElastPQ cortical determine correlation clinical, biological, pathological factors with diagnostic accuracy kidney values...
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the feasibility of triple rule out computed tomography (TRO-CT) in an emergency radiology workflow by comparing diagnostic performance cardiovascular and general radiologists interpretation TRO-CT studies patients with acute atypical chest pain. Methods Between July 2017 December 2019, 350 adult underwent for assessment Three different fields years expertise (a cardioradiologist—CR, senior radiologist—SER, junior radiologist—JER) retrospectively independently...
Abstract Purpose To retrospectively evaluate the safety and efficacy of computed tomography (CT)-guided drainage presacral fluid collections. Methods The records patients who underwent percutaneous CT-guided drainages collections at our institution from January 2015 to October 2023 were reviewed. Demographics morphological data, procedural details, complications, outcomes analyzed. Results In all, 93 with 95 received drainages. A total 117 procedures performed 18 required re-drainages....
We report a case of 56-year-old male with kidney transplantation and symptomatic peritransplant deep fluid collection who underwent computed tomography (CT) guided drainage. Nine days after the procedure patient had to be submitted surgical removal renal graft due massive bleeding caused by position pigtail catheter lying on wall external iliac artery.
