Diagnostic interplay of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy and diffusion weighted images with apparent diffusion coefficient values in suspicious breast lesions
ConclusionThe combined use of DW-MRI with quantitative ADC data and single-voxel 1H-MRS is a reliable non-contrast tool that provides higher accuracy in characterizing suspicious breast, and can efficiently be used in the absence of DCE-MRI.

Role of color Doppler ultrasonography and multidetector computed tomography angiography in diagnosis of uterine arteriovenous malformations
ConclusionDoppler US can strongly suggest the presence of AVM but patient should undergo CT angiography for definitive diagnosis and possible embolization, as CTA helps in providing valuable cross sectional anatomical details about the lesion, its extent and its surroundings.

MRI is it complementary or mandatory to ultrasound in classification of different congenital anomalies of female reproductive tract?
ConclusionThe use of diverse imaging modalities, in conjunction with clinical information, provided important clues to the diagnosis of MDAs. The imaging work-up for MDAs usually begins with ultrasound. Although it might have been suffice to detect the presence of a uterine abnormality, MRI was generally needed to classify the abnormality into a specific MDA category.

The role of multi detector computed tomography in diagnosis of mesenteric vascular occlusion
ConclusionMSCT is accurate, fast and non invasive technique which should be used in clinically suspected patients with MVO in order to confirm the diagnosis, identify the aetiology and in addition assessing the bowel loop status for adequate management with good prognosis.

CT perfusion in non-small cell lung cancers for assessing treatment response, monitoring treatment and predicting prognosis
ConclusionsTumours with higher baseline BF and PS respond well to chemo-radiation. Changes in the PS values can predict the development of metastasis and hence, the long term outcome. (Source: The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine)

In diagnosis of pleural effusion and pneumothorax in the intensive care unit patients: Can chest us replace bedside plain radiography?
ConclusionsIn evaluation of ICU patients with pleural effusion and pneumothorax, chest US is the first bedside tool with high diagnostic performance. These chest conditions are urgent especially in seriously ill patients, as both need US guided drainage. Chest US has many advantages, including non invasive examination in multiple planes, free of radiation hazard, less expensive, real-time, high sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy in chest lesions detection. Lung ultrasound is being exclusive than bedside chest X-ray and equal to chest CT in diagnosing pleural effusion and pneumothorax. (Source: The Egyptian Journal of Radi...

Congestive heart failure as a rare cause of unilateral breast edema: A case report & review of the literature
Publication date: Available online 7 June 2018Source: The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear MedicineAuthor(s): Mohamed Abd El-Aziz M. Farag, Latifa Ahmad Alkandary, Maryam Ibrahim Alshatti, Maged Ali H. ShoukeerAbstractReported cases encountered difficulty in differentiating between inflammatory carcinoma and breast edema caused by congestive heart failure especially if the breast edema is unilateral. Our presented case is an elderly woman with unilateral breast edema due to congestive heart failure that was initially suspected to have breast cancer based on clinical findings. However imaging studies showed breast ...
