We evaluated the most recent research from 2000 to 2023 in order deeply investigate applications of PCa IRE, first exploring its usage with primary intent and then salvage intent. Finally, we discuss differences other focal treatments. In case primary-intent in-field recurrence is quite low (ranges 0% 33%). Urinary continence after treatment remains high (>86%). Due several different patients studies, preserved potency varied a lot (59–100%). Regarding complications, highest occurrence...
Vertebral augmentation techniques have advanced significantly, offering improved outcomes in the treatment of vertebral compression fractures. This review explores third-generation devices such as SpineJack®, Body Stenting System® (VBS), and OsseoFix®, which offer enhanced height restoration, stability, reduced complications. These been shown to outperform traditional methods like vertebroplasty balloon kyphoplasty, particularly reducing risk cement leakage ensuring long-term stability....
Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) is a magnetic resonance (MRI) sequence sensitive to substances that alter the local field, such as calcium and iron, allowing phase information distinguish between them. SWI 3D gradient–echo with high spatial resolution leverages both magnitude effects. The interaction of paramagnetic (such hemosiderin deoxyhemoglobin), diamagnetic (including calcifications minerals), ferromagnetic field distorts it, leading signal changes. Neurodegenerative diseases are...
Brain spaces around (perivascular spaces) and alongside (paravascular or Virchow–Robin vessels have gained significant attention in recent years due to the advancements of vivo imaging tools their crucial role maintaining brain health, contributing anatomic foundation glymphatic system. In fact, it is widely accepted that peri- para-vascular function as waste clearance pathways for materials such ß-amyloid by allowing exchange between cerebrospinal fluid interstitial fluid. Visible on...
PURPOSE: We aim to compare the performance of three different radiomics models (logistic regression (LR), random forest (RF), and support vector machine (SVM)) clinical nomograms (Briganti, MSKCC, Yale, Roach) for predicting lymph node involvement (LNI) in prostate cancer (PCa) patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The retrospective study includes 95 patients who underwent mp-MRI radical prostatectomy PCa with pelvic lymphadenectomy. Imaging data (intensity T2, DWI, ADC, PIRADS), (age pre-MRI...
Leptomeningeal myelomatosis is a rare complication of multiple myeloma (<1% the patients). There was an increase in incidence leptomeningeal during last decade; prognosis remains poor, (overall median survival from time diagnosis 2 months). We discuss case monoclonal gammopathy evolving into and finally rapidly progressing disease. A 76 year-old woman hematologic follow-up for advanced stage sixth-line treatment had episode generalized tonic-clonic seizure with sphincter release followed...
Objectives To evaluate whether the use of Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) images derived from contrast-enhanced 3D-T1-weighted volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination (VIBE) would allow more sensitive detection small (≤5 mm) brain metastases (BM) compared with source as well 2D-T1-weighted spin-echo (SE) images. Methods We performed a single center retrospective study on subjects BM who underwent 1.5 tesla magnetic resonance imaging. Two readers counted number for each seven sets...
Despite cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) being the current gold standard for non-invasive myocardial characterization and fibrosis quantification, its accessibility is limited, particularly in acute settings certain patient populations contraindications to imaging. Late iodine (LIE) computed tomography (CT) imaging has emerged as a potential alternative, capitalizing on similarities contrast kinetics between iodinated agents. Studies have investigated...
The preauricular sinus (PS) is a benign congenital abnormality affecting the soft tissues in region. Diagnosis typically clinical and routine imaging usually unnecessary symptomatic cases, but individuals with recurrent sinuses or previous unsuccessful surgeries may benefit from pre-operative imaging. Furthermore, PS be detected incidentally during head neck magnetic resonance (MRI), emphasizing need for radiologists ear, nose, throat specialists to familiar its characteristics. Notably,...
Percutaneous CT-guided cryoablation is an emerging technique for treating bone tumors. However, experience with using this procedure osteoid osteomas in pediatric patients remains limited. Our study aims to assess its technical feasibility, clinical efficacy, and safety children treated under conscious anesthesia. We conducted a retrospective of consecutive who underwent percutaneous at our institution between September 2017 March 2021. All received Data on peri-procedural VAS scores,...

Abstract Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is an acute haematological disorder characterized by severe ADAMTS13 enzyme deficiency, leading to consumptive thrombocytopenia, mechanical haemolysis, and organ damage. Its association with multisystemic sarcoidosis extremely rare and, the best of our knowledge, described in only two cases so far. We present case a 52-year-old woman TTP antibodies anti-ADAMTS13, showing computed tomography (CT) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evidence...
