Evaluation of Radiolucent Lesions Associated with Impacted Teeth: A Retrospective Study.
CONCLUSION: Radiological diagnoses of the lesions mostly match with their pathological diagnosis unless their characteristics are changed due to infection. CBCT, as a technique enabling detailed imaging of the involved dental structures, is a helpful instrument for differential diagnosis.

Evaluation of Optic Nerve Head Biomechanical Properties in Pseudoexfoliation Glaucoma with Real-time Elastography.
CONCLUSION: The strain ratios of orbital fat to optic nerve head were different in PEX glaucoma patients than in POAG and control groups. RTE can provide biomechanical assessment of the optic nerve head in a non-invasive, quick, easily accessible, and user-friendly manner.

Newfangled Procedures Using X-ray to Determine the Cobb Angle in Patients with Scoliosis: An Updated Systematic Review.
CONCLUSION: Computerized assessment method (Automatic and Semi-automatic) is most commonly performed in Cobb measurement. Semi-automatic is an effective measurement option for computerized assessment Cobb angle. There is no significant difference between manual, computer- based, and smartphone-based methods in described measures. PMID: 32008520 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Current Medical Imaging Reviews)

Multi-parametric MR Imaging Biomarkers Associated to Clinical Outcomes in Gliomas: A Systematic Review.
CONCLUSION: Combinations of MR imaging biomarkers from morphological, PWI, DWI and CSI exams have demonstrated their capability to predict clinical outcomes in different management moments of gliomas. Whereas morphologic-derived compartments have been mostly studied during the last ten years, new multi-parametric MRI approaches have also been proposed to discover specific subcompartments of the tumors. MR biomarkers from those subcompartments show the local behavior within the heterogeneous tumor and may quantify the prognosis and response to treatment of gliomas.
