Can diffusion-weighted MRI replace conventional contrast enhanced MRI in the differentiation between benign and malignant pancreatic masses?
ConclusionDWI and ADC values can help differentiate between benign and malignant pancreatic masses. Also DWI can be used for investigating patients for whom contrast-enhanced CT or MRI studies are contraindicated. (Source: The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine)

MDCT angiography and coronary catheter angiography in patients with chest pain which is first
ConclusionIt is reasonable to start with CCTA in patients with Ferminghaim Risk Score less than 7.5%, filtering the patients to avoid unnecessary CCA. CCTA should be the first imaging modality in patients with CABG suffering from chest pain. (Source: The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine)
