Solid Organ Injury Grading in the Abdomen: A Primer for Emergency Radiology
The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) established the Organ Injury Scale (OIS) in 1984, making an initial revision in 1994, and the most recent revision in 2018. This recent revision was made to better predict the need for operative or angiointervention management, considering active hemorrhage or other vascular complications. Diagnosis of hemodynamically stable patients is made by CT; however, hemodynamically unstable patients may be diagnosed via focused assessment with sonography in trauma (FAST) ultrasound or emergency laparotomy.1–3 In this article, we discuss in depth the different OIS gradings ...

Practical MRI of Endometrial Neoplasms, Part 3: Staging Pitfalls and Mimics
Endometrial carcinomas (ECs) exhibit well-recognized characteristics on MRI sequences. In T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), the tumor presents as a diffuse or well-delineated soft tissue mass with an epicenter in the endometrial cavity and a heterogeneous intermediate signal relative to the hyperintense normal endometrium and hypointense myometrium. In diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), tumors are hyperintense at a high b value in correspondence with the hypointense signal in the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map. In dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI), endometrial tumors can show slower enhancement than the myometrium...

Pediatric Fluoroscopic Follies: Part 2—Journey Through the Lower GI Tract
In part 1 of this series (volume 45, number 2), we explained critical portions of the pediatric upper gastrointestinal fluoroscopic examination and provided an overview of pediatric upper gastrointestinal fluoroscopy to improve confidence and accuracy in diagnosing common and emergent conditions. In this part 2, we discuss the fluoroscopic lower gastrointestinal examination in the pediatric population. (Source: Contemporary Diagnostic Radiology)

Sonography of Renal Transplant-Associated Complications: A Primer
The advent of renal transplantation has significantly improved the quality of life and mortality of patients with end-stage renal disease. Unfortunately, transplant-associated complications (TACs) are common and pose a significant risk to both the allograft and the patient. A major advancement in the care of transplant recipients is the implementation of renal ultrasound, which allows for a more detailed assessment of the renal allograft and facilitates the distinction of different TAC manifestations such as perinephric fluid collections, vascular disease, and parenchymal disease. A better understanding of the clinical and...

Diseases Involving the Specialized Folds of the Peritoneum: The Omentum and Mesentery
Primary diseases involving the mesentery and omentum are rare and thus easily overlooked. Due to their proximity to the abdominal and pelvic organs, the mesentery and omentum are often victims of inflammation, edema, hemorrhage, and neoplasms. Furthermore, these diseases often have nonspecific and overlapping imaging features, posing a diagnostic challenge to radiologists and necessitating reliance on clinical information. The terms “peritoneum,” “mesentery,” and “omentum” are often used interchangeably, although these structures are not the same. Effective treatment relies on both diagnostic and anatomical acc...

Practical MRI of Endometrial Neoplasms, Part 2: MRI and FIGO Staging
MRI is the method of choice for the evaluation of endometrial carcinomas (ECs), from detection to evaluation of recurrent disease. Although the staging of ECs is done surgically using the system of the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO), preoperative assessment based on MRI findings helps in risk stratification and decision-making. The main parameters evaluated include the degree and depth of myometrial invasion, parametrial extent, and cervical stromal infiltration. The combination of T2-weighted imaging, dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI, and diffusion-weighted imaging increases the accuracy of EC d...
