A snapshot of teleradiology practice in Turkey: the results of a survey among radiologists
CONCLUSION: The results are both promising for the future (i.e., concerning the propensity for adopting new technology) and alarming for the current state of affairs (i.e., insufficient radiologist reimbursement and lack of licensing and accreditation of teleradiology service providers). Periodic surveys performed in countries with different health care systems concerning financial, technical, and medicolegal aspects might reveal an up-to-date landscape of teleradiology practices worldwide and help guide local and regional decision-makers.PMID:36959755 | DOI:10.4274/dir.2022.221713 (Source: Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology)

Chest computed tomography radiomics to predict the outcome for patients with COVID-19 at an early stage
CONCLUSION: The radiomic signature from the chest CT was significantly associated with the prognosis of COVID-19. A radiomic signature model achieved maximum accuracy in the prognosis prediction. Although our results provide vital insights into the prognosis of COVID-19, they need to be verified by large samples in multiple centers.PMID:36960545 | DOI:10.5152/dir.2022.21576 (Source: Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology : The Turkish Society of Radiology)

Urethrocystography: a guide for urological surgery?
This article intends to demonstrate that the radiologist's role, by performing and interpreting the modality of urethrocystography, influences and is crucial for the urologic therapeutic decision and that the patients who were submitted to reconstruction by urethroplasty had a better success rate. The authors aim to review the radiological anatomy of the male urethra, discuss the modalities of choice for imaging the urethra (retrograde urethrography and voiding cystourethrography), provide an overview of the different indications for performing the study, examine the different etiologies for urethral strictures, understand...

Ovarian dysgerminoma: clues to the radiological diagnosis
Diagn Interv Radiol. 2023 Jan 31;29(1):18-23. doi: 10.5152/dir.2022.21317. Epub 2022 Dec 21.ABSTRACTOvarian dysgerminoma (OD) is a rare germ cell tumor accounting for 1%-2% of all malignant ovarian tumors and is generally associated with a good prognosis. The condition is more frequent in young women and can arise in dysgenetic gonads that contain gonadoblastomas. While the definitive diagnosis of OD is only possible histologically, certain radiological features can provide facilitating clues. A large, unilateral, solid, lobulated ovarian tumor with markedly enhancing septa should raise the suspicion of OD in young women. ...

Length of the healthy and pathological small intestine in patients with Crohn's disease: calculations using computed tomography and magnetic resonance enterography
Diagn Interv Radiol. 2023 Jan 31;29(1):24-28. doi: 10.5152/dir.2022.21968. Epub 2023 Jan 5.ABSTRACTMany patients with Crohn's disease (CD) require surgical intervention during their lifetime. A correct preoperative assessment of the intestinal length is necessary to predict and quickly treat postoperative nutritional disorders. The aim of this paper is to explain the method used in our hospital to measure intestinal length in patients with CD and its usefulness for making the correct therapeutic decision. Vessel analysis software is used to measure small bowel length through computed tomography enterography (CTE) or magnet...

Analysis of interreader agreement in structured reports of pelvic multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging using the METastasis Reporting and Data System for Prostate Cancer guidelines
CONCLUSION: Good interreader agreement was found for the follow-up assessment of APC patients between radiologists, where the pelvic mpMRI was reported using MET-RADS-P guidelines. This improvement applied to both metastatic lesion detection and qualitative RAC assessment.PMID:36959743 | DOI:10.5152/dir.2022.211232 (Source: Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology : The Turkish Society of Radiology)

Radiological and clinicopathological findings of breast cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic: a comparative study with the pre-pandemic era
CONCLUSION: Patients diagnosed with breast cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic had larger tumor sizes, more frequent lymph node involvement and longer waiting time for surgical treatment. Screening programs should be continued as soon as possible by taking necessary precautions.PMID:36959768 | DOI:10.5152/dir.2022.21646 (Source: Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology : The Turkish Society of Radiology)

Artificial intelligence in diagnostic ultrasonography
Diagn Interv Radiol. 2023 Jan 31;29(1):40-45. doi: 10.4274/dir.2022.211260. Epub 2023 Jan 2.ABSTRACTArtificial intelligence (AI) continues to change paradigms in the field of medicine with new applications that are applicable to daily life. The field of ultrasonography, which has been developing since the 1950s and continues to be one of the most powerful tools in the field of diagnosis, is also the subject of AI studies, despite its unique problems. It is predicted that many operations, such as appropriate diagnostic tool selection, use of the most relevant parameters, improvement of low-quality images, automatic lesion d...

Epub 2023 Jan 12.ABSTRACTMetaplastic breast cancer (MBC) is a rare subtype of invasive breast cancer characterized by mixed epithelial and mesenchymal differentiation. Commonly seen subtypes include squamous cell carcinoma, spindle cell carcinoma, and metaplastic carcinoma with heterologous mesenchymal differentiation. MBC tends to have a more aggressive clinical presentation, higher metastatic potential, higher rates of local recurrence, and a worse prognosis compared with invasive breast carcinoma of no special type. Most MBCs are triple-negative...

Long-term lung perfusion changes related to COVID-19: a dual energy computed tomography study
CONCLUSION: Ground-glass opacities and lung PDs associated with COVID-19 pneumonia can persist for up to 80-90 days. Dual-energy computed tomography can be used to reveal long-term parenchymal and perfusion changes. Persistent PDs are commonly seen together with persistent COVID-19 symptoms.PMID:36960546 | DOI:10.5152/dir.2022.211090 (Source: Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology : The Turkish Society of Radiology)
