Diagnostic Performance of MRI to Differentiate Uterine Leiomyosarcoma from Benign Leiomyoma: A Meta-Analysis
Conclusion: Our meta-analysis demonstrated that high signal intensity on T1-weighted images and low ADC values can accurately differentiate LMS from LM. Although, LMS had a higher pooled sensitivity for T2-weighted increased signal intensity compared to LM, there was no statistical significance.

BSR 2020 Annual Meeting: Program
Different times call for different measures. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to search for alternative methods to provide an annual meeting which is equally interesting and has quality. For the Belgian Society of Radiology (BSR) 2020 Annual Meeting, the sections on Abdominal Imaging, Thoracic Imaging and the Young Radiologist Section (YRS) joined forces to organize a meeting which is quite different from the ones we have organised in the past. We have chosen to create a compact – approximately 5 hour – and entirely virtual meeting with the possibility of live interaction with the speakers during the question and an...

Vessel Wall MRI in HIV-Associated Cerebral Angiitis
Teaching Point: Angiitis, an underestimated cause of stroke in HIV patients, can be diagnosed using vessel wall MRI which directly demonstrates arterial wall thickening and enhancement. Published on 2020-11-09 10:49:00 (Source: Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology)

B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia of the Uterus
Teaching Point: Uterine involvement of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is exceedingly rare. Globular enlargement of the uterus with diffuse homogeneous signal intensity is suggestive for the diagnosis on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in clinically suspected cases.

Impact of Superselective Renal Artery Embolization on Renal Function and Blood Pressure
Conclusion: Superselective embolization appears to be a safe procedure, but meticulous attention for AKI is required for patients who underwent embolization of more than one segmental artery. An attempt to minimize the extent of devascularization should be pursued to avoid postprocedural complications. Published on 2020-11-06 11:05:20 (Source: Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology)
