This invited commentary reviews imaging appearances of three-piece inflatable penile prostheses, highlighting normal postoperative findings and complications that radiologists may encounter outside the operating room.
This RadioGraphics review covers the multisystem imaging appearances, diagnosis, and management of the rare vascular malformation disorder Blue Rubber Bleb Nevus Syndrome, emphasizing gastrointestinal and soft-tissue findings.
Subchondral irregularities and flaring are common normal developmental findings of the pediatric sacroiliac joint that can be mistaken for pathology. Sacroiliitis is best differentiated by MRI; unilateral involvement with capsular edema or abscess suggests infection. Stress chan…
A pictorial essay catalogs expected US appearances and long-term complications after cesarean delivery, IUD placement, endometrial ablation, UAE, and D&C. Knowledge of the intervention and its normal postprocedure look prevents misdiagnosis months to years later.
Invited commentary underscores radiologists’ critical role in reporting postprocedure uterine observations, bridging a clinical gap often overlooked.
MRI is the preferred modality for evaluating three-piece inflatable penile prosthesis complications, offering anatomic and functional assessment. A structured reporting template is proposed to improve diagnostic accuracy and communication with urologists.
Radiologists can differentiate malignant from benign breast size changes by integrating clinical history, physical exam, and multimodality imaging findings, as outlined in this case-based primer. A structured approach helps guide management and reduce patient anxiety.
This RadioGraphics article outlines a structured approach for radiology residents to prepare for and contribute effectively to multidisciplinary tumor board conferences, covering image review, clinical correlation, and presentation skills.
This RadioGraphics review categorizes factors affecting CT contrast enhancement into scalar (tube potential, iodine concentration), temporal (cardiac output, injection rate), and sampling (scan delay, duration) parameters, providing a framework for protocol optimization to avoid…
A new RadioGraphics review outlines a structured approach to imaging the postsurgical abdominal wall, aligning CT, US, and MRI findings with surgical anatomy, techniques, and common complications like mesh failure, nerve injury, and fascial disruption.
The SHAPE trial demonstrated non-inferiority of simple hysterectomy for low-risk early cervical cancer, making precise MRI evaluation of stromal invasion essential. This RadioGraphics review proposes a standardized imaging lexicon and reporting template to guide treatment select…
The WHO 2022 renal cell tumor classification adds histologic complexity; an invited commentary asks whether the new subtypes have practical, actionable translation for routine radiologic reporting.
RadioGraphics review of intracranial arterial variants, illustrating normal anatomy and common anomalies on angiography and cross-sectional imaging to help radiologists avoid misdiagnosis and guide treatment planning.
High-resolution CT findings in childhood interstitial lung disease (chILD) evolve from acute centrilobular ground-glass opacities to chronic reticulation, cysts, and honeycombing. Meticulous integration of imaging patterns, though individually nonspecific, enables specific diagn…
This RadioGraphics education piece outlines how early-career radiologists can strategically use social media to build a professional brand, covering platform choice, content creation, and avoiding ethical pitfalls.
International consensus statement offers pragmatic guidance on reirradiation for recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, covering patient selection, imaging, target delineation, and toxicity management to promote more consistent practice.
A new European guideline, developed by 36 multidisciplinary experts, provides 32 consensus-based imaging recommendations for osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma. Evidence remains insufficient to recommend optimal modalities for bone metastases, response prediction, or surveillance fr…
Corrigendum issued for a previously published article; no additional details available in the abstract.
MRI with multiparametric protocol (T2, DWI, DCE) is the imaging modality of choice for uterine cancer staging per ESUR recommendations; FDG-PET complements cervical cancer evaluation for nodal/distant metastases.
The European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) publishes a reference framework for implementing cardiovascular imaging in clinical trials, covering endpoint validation, cross-center standardization, centralized analysis, and quality control to improve trial efficienc…
A deep learning dose prediction model for cervical brachytherapy hybrid applicators achieved voxel-wise MAE of 0.45±0.27 Gy, with no significant differences in key DVH parameters (p>0.05) versus manual plans, in a retrospective study of 216 plans.
In mild cognitive impairment, brain connectome subtyping revealed a 'compromised' subgroup with extensive disruption and a 'preserved' subgroup. Despite similar Alzheimer's pathology burden, the compromised group showed faster cognitive decline and elevated progression risk (exa…
In a quasi-experimental study, histology students using the eHistoLab virtual microscopy web app scored significantly higher on post-tests than those with e-lectures (P<0.001). 58% preferred the app over textbooks (26%) or recorded lectures (16%).
A new study in AJR proposes using entropy—a measure of tissue heterogeneity—as a third pillar alongside size and morphology for lung nodule risk stratification. (Exact findings not reported in source.)
AI-synthesized CT from MRI for temporal bone imaging shows a narrow window of clinical utility, with limited performance and narrow applicability, per a new study in AJR.
An isolated abnormal axillary lymph node on imaging carries a malignancy risk of up to 33%, most commonly lymphoma, breast cancer, or metastases. Radiologists can guide management through patient history, sonographic features, and recommending targeted tissue sampling.
