First-pass CT-perfusion in differentiating primary extra-axial brain tumours: Added value of MTT and TTP in characterisation beyond CBV and CBF
Conclusion Perfusion CT helps in the characterisation of common extra-axial lesions when their diagnosis based solely on morphological characteristics is uncertain. Apart from CBV and CBF, the added value of MTT in characterising macroadenoma, and both MTT and TTP in characterising schwannoma is noteworthy which is not emphasized in the available literature.

New multidetector computed tomography quantitative technique in evaluation of shoulder instability
Conclusion MDCT is an optimal imaging modality in preoperative evaluation of glenoid and humeral head bone loss. It is the most accurate radiologic method in evaluating the new concepts of on-track and off- track Hill-Sachs lesions. (Source: The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine)

Differentiation of adrenal incidentalomas by qualitative and quantitative analytical data obtained by 18F-FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography in cancer patients
Conclusion The quantitative (T/L SUVratio at cut-off value > 1.60 and SUVmax at cut-off value > 2.97) and qualitative (activity score of ≥ 2) analytic data obtained by 18F-FDG PET/CT can be considered as powerful parameters for identification and differentiation of adrenal incidentalomas in cancer patients.

Variations in radiological features between primary and secondary ovarian malignancies
Conclusion possibility of secondary ovarian tumors should be considered in cases with bilateral relatively small solid ovarian tumors in a woman with age <50 years old with normal or mild elevated CA 125 level. Imaging features may differ according to the primary tumor. (Source: The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine)

The breath-hold 2D MRCP and the respiratory-triggered 3D MRCP sequences, comparative study as regards the possible pitfalls
Conclusion Many pitfalls could be encountered in MRCP, with resultant false judgment. So it should be carefully monitored with revisions of the source images, MRI and CT if needed, by the radiologist. Also, full past history is required before the final radiological conclusion.

Role of contrast enhanced MRI lymphangiography in evaluation of lower extremity lymphatic vessels for patients with primary lymphedema
Conclusions MRI lymphangiography with the intracutaneous injection of gadolinium had the potentiality for being the main diagnostic modality in primary lymphedema patients especially those who are candidates for microsurgical reconstruction through providing better visualization of the precise lymphatic anatomy by a feasible, minimally invasive and safe technique.
