Breast Cancer in Patients Younger Than 40 Years: Imaging, Assessment, and Management
“Young women,” defined as women younger than 40 years at breast cancer diagnosis, represent approximately 7% of all women diagnosed with breast cancer in developed countries. Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in young women. It constitutes more than 12,150 newly diagnosed patients every year in the United States. Young women have specific issues including those related to fertility, cancer genetics, and psychosocial concerns, and often need a different approach than do older women.1 Although breast cancer in older women is detected most commonly by mammographic screening, breast cancer in young...

Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia: From Neonate to Adult
“Bronchopulmonary dysplasia” is a term devised in 1967 to describe chronic lung disease in premature infants treated for respiratory distress syndrome. With improving management techniques, younger and lower birth-weight infants now are surviving after they are born at increasingly premature stages of lung development. Despite improving management techniques, the overall incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia has not changed significantly over time, but the clinical definition and radiographic features have evolved accordingly.1 (Source: Contemporary Diagnostic Radiology)

Cystic and Syndromic Disorders of the Pancreas
Several clinically significant cystic diseases and syndromes are known to afflict the pancreas. They are often incidentally encountered in radiologic studies obtained for unrelated indications. Cystic pancreatic lesions are encountered in about 2.6% of abdominal multidetector CT studies and in about 20% of MRI studies.1 The imaging findings of these cystic lesions and syndromes often appear overwhelming to inexperienced radiologists, including radiologists in training, and may result in misdiagnosis. We review the CT and MRI appearance of various cystic and syndrome-related disorders of the pancreas. (Source: Contemporary ...

Renal Angiomyolipoma: What the Radiologist Needs to Know
Renal angiomyolipoma (AML) is the most common benign solid renal neoplasm seen in daily clinical practice, with an estimated prevalence of 0.2% to 0.6%.1 It is a triphasic mesenchymal neoplasm composed of varying amounts of dysmorphic vasculature, smooth muscle, and mature adipocytes. Pathologically, AML is now considered among the family of perivascular epithelioid cell tumors. Approximately 80% of cases are sporadic, with mean age at presentation being 43 years and most cases identified at fourth to sixth decades of life. There is also a strong female predilection, with female-to-male ratio of 4:1 in sporadic cases.1 Twe...

Nonneoplastic Tracheal Abnormalities on CT

Nonneoplastic Tracheal Abnormalities on CT
Tracheal disorders can create clinical and imaging challenges. They are often misdiagnosed as other pulmonary disorders. Chest radiography has low sensitivity and specificity for proper identification of tracheal disorders. Multidetector-row CT (MDCT) has the inherent advantage of being able to provide high-quality multiplanar reformations, 3D volume-rendered images, virtual bronchoscopy, and minimum intensity projections. These can serve as a roadmap for bronchoscopy or surgical planning. The most important imaging sign of tracheal disease is thickening of the tracheal wall, and the most relevant sign to be evaluated for ...

A Systematic Approach to Demystifying the Unilateral Hyperlucent Lung
Causes of the unilateral hyperlucent lung consist of technical factors and congenital and acquired conditions. The goal of this article is to document the causes of the unilateral hyperlucent lung to increase the radiologist's familiarity with each of these conditions, ensure proper diagnosis, and help to guide appropriate treatment.

Fluoroscopic Cholangiography: Anatomy, Pathology, and Intervention
Direct intraoperative cholangiography, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, T-tube cholangiography, and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography are routine procedures performed by interventionalists. Radiologists must understand how to interpret direct cholangiography to facilitate multidisciplinary communication, correlate findings with magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, and improve patient care.
