Multimodality pictorial review of IgG4-related disease in the abdomen and pelvis
ConclusionThe presence of mass-like soft tissue with radiographic characteristics of fibrosis affecting multiple organs should raise suspicion for IgG4-RD, although definite diagnosis can only be made with appropriate clinical, serological, and pathologic data.Graphical abstract (Source: Abdominal Imaging)

Added value of zoomed-echo-planar imaging diffusion-weighted imaging for evaluation of periampullary carcinomas
Conclusionsz-EPI DWI has an advantage that could lead to remarkable image quality improvements and enhanced lesion visualization of periampullary carcinomas. z-EPI DWI was superior to c-EPI DWI for detecting, delineating, and diagnosing the lesions, particularly for small challenging lesions.Graphical abstract (Source: Abdominal Imaging)

MDT —How it is important in rectal cancer
AbstractThe concept of multidisciplinary team discussion of patient ’s care has been a part of routine medical practice for several decades [Monson et al. in Bull Am Coll Surg 101:45–46, 2016; NHS. Improving outcomes in colorectal cancer—the manual. (Guidance on commissioning cancer services—improving outcomes). 1997.]. The idea of bringing multiple specialt ies and ancillary services together to help optimize patient outcomes has been implemented in several clinical arenas from burns to physical medicine and rehabilitation to oncology. In the oncology realm, multidisciplinary tumor boards (MDTs) originated as a br...

Predicting early biliary infection after stenting of malignant biliary obstruction: model development and internal validation
ConclusionThe nomogram model based on the above independent risk factors can predict the probability of EBI and model-assisted treatment decisions contribute to improved clinical outcome. Therefore, MBO patients with probability of EBI > 0.20 based on the model should be recommended for perioperative broad-spectrum antibiotics and close monitoring. (Source: Abdominal Imaging)

PI-RADS 3 lesions: a critical review and discussion of how to improve management
AbstractSince the publication of PI-RADS v1 in 2012, the debate regarding the question of how to manage PI-RADS 3 lesions has been mostly unsolved. However, based on our review of the current literature we discuss possible solutions and improvements to the original classification, factors such as PSAD (Prostate Specific Antigen Density), age, and tumor volume, in the decision of whether to proceed with a biopsy or not.Graphical abstract (Source: Abdominal Imaging)

Rectal and perirectal CT findings in patients with monkeypox virus infection
ConclusionNearly all patients with Mpox who presented with additional symptoms warranting a CT demonstrated proctitis. Degree of proctitis varied greatly within the cohort, with greatest thickening among patients with HIV. Physicians should have a high suspicion for proctitis in patients with suspected Mpox.

Rectal cancer lexicon 2023 revised and updated consensus statement from the Society of Abdominal Radiology Colorectal and Anal Cancer Disease-Focused Panel
AbstractThe Society of Abdominal Radiology ’s Colorectal and Anal Cancer Disease-Focused Panel (DFP) first published a rectal cancer lexicon paper in 2019. Since that time, the DFP has published revised initial staging and restaging reporting templates, and a new SAR user guide to accompany the rectal MRI synoptic report (primary staging). This lexicon update summarizes interval developments, while conforming to the original lexicon 2019 format. Emphasis is placed on primary staging, treatment response, anatomic terminology, nodal staging, and the utility of specific sequences in the MRI protocol. A discussion of primary...

Factors affecting outcomes of Yttrium-90 radioembolization in heavily pretreated patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
ConclusionsTARE may be used as salvage therapy in heavily treated ICC patients. Presence of a HRGS may predict worse OS after TARE. Further investigation with more patients is recommended to validate these results.Graphical abstract (Source: Abdominal Imaging)

Potential applications of PET/MRI in non-oncologic conditions within the abdomen and pelvis
AbstractPET/MRI is a relatively new imaging modality with several advantages over PET/CT that promise to improve imaging of the abdomen and pelvis for specific diagnostic tasks by combining the superior soft tissue characterization of MRI with the functional information acquired from PET. PET/MRI has an established role in staging and response assessment of multiple abdominopelvic malignancies, but the modality is not yet established for non-oncologic conditions of the abdomen and pelvis. In this review, potential applications of PET/MRI for non-oncologic conditions of abdomen and pelvis are outlined, and the available lit...
