<h3>Importance</h3> Although imaging has become a standard tool of modern medicine, its widespread use been paralleled by an increasing cumulative radiation dose to patients despite technological advancements and campaigns calling for better awareness minimization unnecessary exposures. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess patients' knowledge about medical related risks. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> A survey study hospitals in Italy was conducted; all waiting rooms procedures before...
Clarity regarding accuracy and effectiveness for interventional procedures around the foot ankle is lacking. Consequently, a board of 53 members Ultrasound Interventional Subcommittees European Society Musculoskeletal Radiology (ESSR) reviewed published literature to evaluate evidence on image-guided musculoskeletal this anatomical region.We report results Delphi-based consensus experts from who offered in order derive their clinical indications. Experts drafted list statements graded them...
Abstract Objectives The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical utility gallium-68 [68Ga] prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with rising (PSA) levels in prostate cancer diagnosis. Methods This is a retrospective, single-center, observational cross-sectional study, which provided after ethics committee clearance, from May 2, 2022 June 25, 2022. Study includes sample size 50 patients adenocarcinoma varying PSA and...
Background: Excess adipose tissue has been associated with the increased prevalence and aggressiveness of many human cancers. While its role in differentiated thyroid cancer is well established, medullary (MTC), data are conflicting. We aimed to evaluate impact excess on MTC prevalence, at diagnosis, outcome a large series patients. Methods: evaluated 529 patients sporadic from prospectively maintained database. Weight height were measured all time surgery, body mass index (BMI) was...
Ultra-high frequency ultrasound (UHFUS) is a recently developed diagnostic technique involving the use of frequencies up to 70 MHz, allowing obtain 30 µm resolution targets located within 1 cm from surface. Oral mucosa can be affected by diverse pathological conditions, which are currently investigated means clinical examination. In this scenario, intraoral UHFUS provide additional information and support assessment oral mucosa. preliminary study, typical features normal described, in order...
Malignant melanoma (MM) is one of the most dangerous skin cancers. The aim this study was to present a potential new method for differential diagnosis MM from melanocytic naevi (MN). We examined 20 and 19 MN with ultra-high-frequency ultrasound (UHFUS) equipped 70 MHz linear probe. Ultrasonographic images were processed calculating 8 morphological parameters (area, perimeter, circularity, area ratio, standard deviation normalized radial range, roughness index, overlap ratio residual mean...
Sarcopenia is recognised as a predictor of toxicity and survival in localised locally advanced gastric cancer (GC). Its prognostication power unresectable or metastatic GC (aGC) debated. The impact visceral subcutaneous fat distribution (visceral area (VFA)/subcutaneous (SFA)) ambiguous. Our aim was to determine the influence body composition parameters (BCp) on aGC patients undergoing palliative treatment. BCp were retrospectively assessed by baseline computed tomography for 78 who received...
Abstract Objectives To perform a Delphi-based consensus on published evidence image-guided interventional procedures for peripheral nerves of the lower limb (excluding Morton’s neuroma) and provide clinical indications. Methods We report results 53 experts from European Society Musculoskeletal Radiology who reviewed literature offered around in to derive their Experts drafted list statements graded them according Oxford Centre evidence-based medicine levels evidence. Consensus was considered...
Nowadays, given the technological advance in CT imaging and increasing heterogeneity characteristics of scanners, a number scanners with different manufacturers/technologies are often installed hospital centre used by various departments. In this phantom study, comprehensive assessment image quality 5 (from 3 manufacturers models) for head imaging, as clinically at single centre, was hence carried out. Helical and/or sequential acquisitions Catphan-504 were performed, using scanning...
