Advancing medical technology revolutionizes our ability to diagnose various disease processes. Conventional Single-Energy Computed Tomography (SECT) has multiple inherent limitations for providing definite diagnoses in certain clinical contexts. Dual-Energy (DECT) been use since 2006 and constantly evolved applications assist radiologists reaching SECT is rather unable identify. DECT may also complement the role of by supporting confidently make clinically challenging scenarios. In this...
Gastrointestinal tract perforations can occur for various causes such as peptic ulcer, inflammatory disease, blunt or penetrating trauma, iatrogenic factors, foreign body a neoplasm that require an early recognition and, often, surgical treatment.Ultrasonography could be useful initial diagnostic test to determine, in cases the presence sometimes, cause of pneumoperitoneum.The main sonographic sign perforation is free intraperitoneal air, resulting increased echogenicity peritoneal stripe...
Intestinal ischemia is an abdominal emergency that accounts for approximately 2% of gastrointestinal illnesses. It represents a complex diseases caused by impaired blood perfusion to the small and/or large bowel including acute arterial mesenteric (AAMI), venous (AVMI), non occlusive (NOMI), ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R), ischemic colitis (IC). In this study different methods (US, CT) will be correlated in detection imaging findings due various etiologies. Basing on experience our...

To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of NOM (non-operative management) in treatment blunt liver trauma, following a standardized protocol.All hemodynamically stable patients with computed tomography (CT) diagnosis trauma underwent NOM. It included strict clinical laboratory observation, 48-72h contrast enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) or CT follow-up, primary angioembolization case admission evidence vascular injuries secondary presence signs at follow-up CEUS.181 (85.4%) [55 (30.4%)...
Purpose . This paper aims at evaluating CT findings of occlusive and nonocclusive ischemic colitis (IC), in correlation with the etiology different phases disease. Materials Methods examination clinical history 32 patients proven IC were retrospectively reviewed. The analyzed according to disease (acute, subacute, chronic). Results Among examinations performed acute phase, 62.5% did not present signs occlusion superior mesenteric artery (SMA) or inferior (IMA), whereas IMA was detected 37.5%...
To develop a structured reporting (SR) template for whole-body CT examinations of polytrauma patients, based on the consensus panel emergency radiology experts from Italian Society Medical and Interventional Radiology.A multi-round Delphi method was used to quantify inter-panelist agreement all SR sections. Internal consistency each section quality analysis in terms average inter-item correlation were evaluated by means Cronbach's alpha (Cα) coefficient.The final form included 118 items (6...
Ischemic colitis (IC) is the most common vascular disorder of gastrointestinal tract with a reported incidence 6.1-44 cases/100,000 person years confirmatory histopathology. However, true IC poses some difficulty, and even vigilant clinicians patients at high risk often miss diagnosis, since clinical presentation non-specific or could have mild transient nature. Detection results crucial to plan correct therapeutic approach reduce mortality rate (4-12%). Diagnosis based on combination...
Recent development of ultra high-resolution ultrasound systems, with frequencies as high 70 MHz and capability resolution fine 30 μm, could permit new diagnostic applications to small parts. A variety superficial targets within the first 1 cm skin surface be imaged, including dermatological such assessment layers, hair follicles nail unit. Nail disorders are frequent but they diagnosed mainly based on clinical examination; although biopsies scrapings can provide clinically significant...
Pompe disease (PD) is a metabolic myopathy due to acid alpha-glucosidase deficiency and characterized by extensive glycogen storage impaired autophagy. We previously showed that modulation of autophagy lysosomal exocytosis overexpression the transcription factor EB (TFEB) gene was effective in improving muscle pathology PD mice injected intramuscularly with an AAV-TFEB vector. Here we have evaluated effects TFEB systemic delivery on functional performance, primary measure efficacy disorder...
Introduction . Functional disorders of the pelvic floor represent have a significant impact on quality life. The advent open-configuration systems allowed for evaluation defecation with MR imaging in sitting position. purpose present study is to compare results static and dynamic performed supine position versus position, using new prototype machine, diagnosis descent. Materials Methods Thirty-one patients were enrolled, underwent Defecography 1.5 T closed magnet (MAGNETOM Symphony, Siemens,...
The aim of these evidence-based guidelines is to present a consensus position from members the Italian Unitary Society Colon-Proctology (Società Italiana Unitaria di Colon-Proctologia, SIUCP) on diagnosis and management hemorrhoidal disease, with goal guiding physicians in choice best treatment option. A panel experts was charged by Board SIUCP develop key questions main topics related disease perform an accurate comprehensive literature search each topic, order provide answers summarize...
Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) have helped to improve the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for diagnosis and treatment diseases. There are currently nine different commercially available gadolinium-based that can be used body MRI cases, which classifiable according their structures (cyclic or linear) biodistribution (extracellular-space agents, target/specific-agents, blood-pool agents). The aim this review is illustrate effect on imaging, adverse reaction body, with goal...
To define the evolution of ischemic lesions with 7T magnetic resonance imaging (7T-MRI) in an animal model acute colonic ischemia.Adult Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into two groups. Group I underwent inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) ligation followed by macroscopic observations and histological analysis. In group II, 7T-MRI was performed before after IMA analysis.Morphological alterations started to develop 1 h ligation, when pale areas became evident splenic flexure mesentery...
