The adoption of LI-RADS: a survey of non-academic radiologists
ConclusionA majority of the non-academic radiologists surveyed use the LI-RADS CT/MR algorithm for HCC diagnosis, while nearly half use the LI-RADS TR algorithm for assessment of treatment response. Less than 10% of the participants routinely use the LI-RADS US and CEUS algorithms.Graphical abstract (Source: Abdominal Imaging)

Pelvic organ movements in asymptomatic nulliparous and symptomatic premenopausal women with pelvic organ prolapse in dynamic MRI: a feasibility study comparing midsagittal single-slice with multi-slice sequences
ConclusionMS sequences increase the visibility of organ points compared to SS sequences. Dynamic MS sequences can depict POP if images are acquired with sufficient straining effort. Further work is needed to optimize the depiction of the maximum straining effort with MS sequences.Graphical abstract (Source: Abdominal Imaging)

Leydig cell tumor of the testis with characteristic contrast patterns of tumor and non-tumorous testicular parenchyma on MRI: a case report
ConclusionSince the contrast findings in the non-tumorous testicular parenchymal region on CE-T1WI likely match the histopathological features of LCT, our case suggests that the presence of non-tumorous testicular parenchymal enhancement on imaging might indicate a diagnosis of LCT.

Second-opinion interpretation of outside facility general ultrasound studies: rate of discrepancies and management change
ConclusionSecond-opinion interpretation of outside ultrasound examinations by subspecialized radiologists can result in recommended management change in 26% of studies indicating potential for added value to reinterpreting ultrasound studies despite the concerns for quality control.

Comparison of 18F-FDG PET/MR and PET/CT for pretreatment TNM staging of hilar cholangiocarcinoma
ConclusionsThe diagnostic accuracy of18F-FDG PET/MR was superior to that of PET/CT in preoperative T staging, N staging, and Bismuth –Corlette classification of HCCA. In M staging, the diagnostic accuracy of PET/MR was similar to that of PET/CT. (Source: Abdominal Imaging)

Ultrasound-based radiomics analysis in the assessment of renal fibrosis in patients with chronic kidney disease
ConclusionThe proposed radiomics model showed favorable performance in determining the individualized risk of moderate-severe renal fibrosis in patients with CKD, which may facilitate more effective clinical decision-making. (Source: Abdominal Imaging)

Prevalence of malignant or possibly malignant renal masses among homogeneous low-attenuation masses that are too small to characterize at computed tomography
ConclusionThe prevalence of malignant or possibly malignant renal masses among homogeneous low-attenuation too small to characterize masses among incidental tstc masses is near zero. Attenuation measurements misclassify a substantial proportion of these cysts, likely due to their small size. (Source: Abdominal Imaging)

Abdominal visceral tuberculosis: a malignancy mimic
AbstractThe purpose is to discuss abdominal tuberculosis mimicking malignancy involving the abdominal viscera. TB of the abdominal viscera is common, especially in countries where tuberculosis is endemic and in pockets of non-endemic countries. Diagnosis is challenging as clinical presentations are often non-specific. Tissue sampling may be necessary for definitive diagnosis. Awareness of the early and late disease imaging appearances of abdominal tuberculosis involving the viscera that can mimic malignancy can aid detecting TB, providing a differential diagnosis, assessing extent of spread, guiding biopsy, and evaluating ...

Dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging of uterine endometrial carcinoma with/without squamous differentiation
ConclusionIt should be recognized as a pitfall that high-grade type II endometrial carcinoma and low-grade type I endometrial carcinoma with squamous differentiation may show similar early strong enhancement on DCE-MRI.Graphical abstract (Source: Abdominal Imaging)

Risk of malignancy in T1-hyperintense Bosniak version 2019 class II and IIF cystic renal masses
ConclusionBosniak version 2019 class IIF masses that are non-enhancing and heterogeneously T1-hyperintense with a fluid –fluid level are likely benign. Those that are non-enhancing and heterogeneously T1-hyperintense without a distinct pattern have a malignancy proportion up to 25% (5/20).Graphical abstract (Source: Abdominal Imaging)
