Imaging of acute unilateral limb swelling: A multi modality overview
Publication date: June 2018Source: The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, Volume 49, Issue 2Author(s): Ahmed A. Baz, Talaat A. HassanAbstractAcute unilateral limb swelling is a common clinical problem that has a relatively wide differential diagnosis both by clinical and imaging studies, nevertheless, the diagnostic list may include conditions that have quite different treatment plans, this mandates early establishment of the correct diagnosis. This review gives a multimodality approach in imaging of unilateral limb swelling with an onset not exceeding 72 h. The most common etiologies for the condition w...

Role of DTI in cases of cervical spondylosis presented with compression myelopathy: Could it explain the clinical radiological mismatch?!
ConclusionAccordingly, we could conclude that DTI with assessment of FA and ADC is a useful tool in the work up of patients with contradiction between the lateralization of brachialgia and the side of the cervical disc lesion, and this could explain the patient symptomatology.

An unusual case of mediastinal mass in a child presenting with pneumomediastinum and air dissection in soft tissues
We present such a case in a child where mediastinal mass caused non-traumatic pneumomediastinum, pneumopericardium, subcutaneous and retroperitoneal emphysema. To the extent of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of mediastinal mass resulting in spontaneous air leak. (Source: The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine)

Physical dosimetry of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) using EPID and 2D array for quality assurance
ConclusionsSpecific QA of VMAT patient (using EPID or 2D array) display great possibility to spare time and to verify individual IMRT fields. 3%/3 mm is the most appropriate of gamma criteria (DD/DTA) for VMAT plans quality assurance. Control charts are a beneficial method for verification assessment for patient specific quality control. (Source: The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine)

Combined apparent diffusion coefficient value (ADC) and 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in breast lesions: Benefits and limitations
ConclusionA great advantage of ADC value is the significant difference between benign and malignant lesions, because of this it plays an important role in characterization of breast lesions. MRS is the only in vivo technique which can detect tissue metabolites. In our study combined MRS with ADC value increased sensitivity in detecting lesions, while the specificity remained at lower level than that of the ADC value alone.
