Extra-pleural solitary fibrous tumors: A review
Publication date: Available online 12 December 2018Source: The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear MedicineAuthor(s): Nuno Almeida Costa, Diogo Fonseca, João SantosAbstractSolitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal ubiquitous tumor reported in the pleura and a wide variety of extrapleural locations, most frequently in the orbits and extremities.Approximately 78–88% of SFTs are benign and 12–22% are malignant.Although tumor characteristics are highly dependent on the location there are unifying features in MR imaging suggesting SFT: well-circumscribed, often lobulated nodular lesion, delayed contrast enha...

Multi-parametric dynamic contrast enhanced MRI, diffusion-weighted MRI and proton-MRS in differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions: Imaging interpretation and radiology-pathology correlation
ConclusionMRI is very sensitive for detection of breast lesions, however it lacks specificity. Post-processing tools and functional MRI have improved the specificity. MRS has increased the sensitivity, however specificity has been slightly decreased.Advances in knowledgeFunctional MRI is very helpful for characterization of different breast lesions, thus avoiding unnecessary intervention.

Apparent diffusion coefficient and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI as reliable biomarkers for evaluating response to locoregional therapy in hepatocellular carcinoma patients
ConclusionThe use of DW-MRI (with ADC data and colored maps) and the DCE-MRI (with digital subtraction and color-coded perfusion maps) can be considered as in-vivo digital biomarkers for evaluating the response to LRT in patients with HCC.

Measurement of radiation exposure to household contacts of patients with Graves’ disease treated with low dose radioactive iodine (131I) on outpatient basis
ConclusionTreatment of GD with 131I on outpatient basis is a safe therapeutic modality with no single household contacts or household environment radiation overexposure, providing RSI are given in a proper way by qualified professionals with an advice to be given to all patients’ household contacts.

The added benefit of digital breast tomosynthesis in second breast cancer detection among treated breast cancer patients
ConclusionCombined FFDM + DBT in the post breast cancer surveillance regimen has shown to reduce the patients' RR and to increase the CDR. FFDM + DBT had higher diagnostic accuracy than FFDM alone. FFDM + DBT ought to be a standard combination in the breast cancer surveillance in treated patients. (Source: The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine)
