Percutaneous vacuum-assisted excision (VAE) of breast lesions of uncertain malignant potential (B3 lesions): a preliminary single-centre Italian experience
ConclusionsVAE could be a safe and effective pathway for managing selected B3 lesions. Lesions initially subjected to CNB with ADH and LN outcome, before undergoing VAE, should perform a VAB for better tissue characterization and management. (Source: La Radiologia Medica)

Cornerstones of CT urography: a shared document by the Italian board of urogenital radiology
AbstractCT urography is a single term used to refer to different scanning protocols that can be applied for a number of clinical indications. If, on the one hand, this highlights the role of the radiologist in deciding the most suitable technique to perform according to the patient ’s needs, on the other hand, a certain confusion may arise due to the different technical and clinical variables that have to be taken into account. This has been well demonstrated by a previous work based on an online questionnaire administered to a population of Italian radiologists that brought out similarities as well as differences across...

Utility of virtual stenting in treatment of cerebral aneurysms by flow diverter devices
AbstractSuccessful endovascular treatment by stenting of intracranial aneurysms requires proper placement of the device and appropriate choice of its diameter and length. To date, several methods have been employed to achieve these goals, although each has inherent critical issues. Recently developed stent planning software applications can be used to assist interventional neuroradiologists. Based on a 3D-DSA image acquired before stenting, these applications simulate and visualize the final placement of the deployed stent. In this single-centre retrospective study, 27 patients undergoing an intravascular procedure for the...
