Management of vascular and nonvascular complications following pancreas transplantation with interventional radiology
Publication date: Available online 20 February 2020Source: Diagnostic and Interventional ImagingAuthor(s): A. David, E. Frampas, F. Douane, C. Perret, F. Leaute, D. Cantarovich, G. Karam, J. BranchereauAbstractPancreas transplantation exposes to high rates of complications, either vascular (thrombosis, stenosis, pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous fistula) or nonvascular (fluid collection, graft rejection). With advances in percutaneous and endovascular techniques, interventional radiologists are increasingly involved in the management of these complications. In this article, we review the anatomical considerations relevant to p...

MRI combined with PSA density in detecting clinically significant prostate cancer in patients with PSA serum levels of 4∼10 ng/mL: Biparametric versus multiparametric MRI
ConclusionIn patients with PSA serum levels of 4∼10 ng/mL, bpMRI and bpMRI combined with PSAD achieve better performance than mpMRI in detecting csPCa; bpMRI has a higher specificity than mpMRI, which could decrease unnecessary biopsy, and may serve as a potential alternative to mpMRI to optimize clinical workup.

Prediction of tumor grade and lymphovascular space invasion in endometrial adenocarcinoma with MR imaging-based radiomic analysis
ConclusionMRI-based texture analysis is of limited value to predict high grade and LVSI of endometrial adenocarcinoma. A tumor short axis ≥ 20 mm is the best predictor of high grade and LVSI. (Source: Diagnostic and Interventional Imaging)

A systematic review of automated feeder detection software for locoregional treatment of hepatic tumors
ConclusionAFD is a promising new technology for the identification of intrahepatic and extrahepatic tumor-feeding arteries and should be considered a useful adjunct to conventional DSA and CBCT in the treatment of liver tumors. (Source: Diagnostic and Interventional Imaging)

Pediatric cardiac computed tomography angiography: Expert consensus from the Filiale de Cardiologie Pédiatrique et Congénitale (FCPC) and the Société Française d’Imagerie Cardiaque et Vasculaire diagnostique et interventionnelle (SFICV)
This article was designed to provide a pediatric cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) expert panel consensus based on opinions of experts of the Société Française d’Imagerie Cardiaque et Vasculaire diagnostique et interventionnelle (SFICV) and of the Filiale de Cardiologie Pédiatrique Congénitale (FCPC). This expert panel consensus includes recommendations for indications, patient preparation, CTA radiation dose reduction techniques, and post-processing techniques. The consensus was based on data from available literature (original papers, reviews and guidelines) and on opinions of a group of specialists w...

Imaging of primary malignant tumors in non-cirrhotic liver
Publication date: Available online 3 February 2020Source: Diagnostic and Interventional ImagingAuthor(s): G. Mamone, A. Di Piazza, V. Carollo, F. Crinò, S. Vella, K. Cortis, R. MiragliaAbstractPrimary hepatic malignancies in non-cirrhotic liver include a wide spectrum of tumors, which are classified based on their cells of origin. Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common primary malignant tumor, followed by intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Beside these tumors, other primary malignancies in the non-cirrhotic liver are quite rare. Accurate diagnosis is often difficult with imaging alone and biopsy with further histopatho...

Effect of tin filter-based spectral shaping CT on image quality and radiation dose for routine use on ultralow-dose CT protocols: A phantom study
ConclusionThe use of TF increases the X-ray beam quality and improves the image quality characteristics in phantom images, thus appearing as a promising tool for reducing dose and/or improving the image quality of ULD protocols. (Source: Diagnostic and Interventional Imaging)

Optimal acquisition time to discriminate between breast cancer subtypes with contrast-enhanced cone-beam CT
ConclusionCE-CBCT helps discriminate between malignant and benign breast lesions, with best capabilities obtained at 1-min after intravenous administration of contrast material. For malignant lesions, quantitative analysis of enhancement on CE-CBCT helps differentiate between immunohistochemical subtypes. (Source: Diagnostic and Interventional Imaging)

Evaluation of an acetated Ringer-based contrast material mixture for postmortem computed tomography angiography
ConclusionAR results in contrast medium mixture extravasation in all cadavers, but PEG altered the autopsy more severely. Both carrier substances result in specific substance-related artifacts and dependent opacification of the coronary arteries, but PEG is recommended for PMCTA exclusively with regard to diagnostic imaging.

Dactylitis: A pictorial review of key symptoms
Publication date: Available online 27 January 2020Source: Diagnostic and Interventional ImagingAuthor(s): A. Hamard, R. Burns, A. Miquel, J.M. Sverzut, V. Chicheportiche, M. Wybier, V. BoussonAbstractDactylitis refers to a global swelling of a finger or a toe giving it a clinical sausage-shape presentation. It is an extremely suggestive symptom as it guides the rheumatologist towards a shortlist of diagnoses. However, radiologists are less familiar with dactylitis. The aim of this review is to detail and illustrate the main causes of dactylitis using standard X-ray imaging, ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic reso...
