AbstractBackground: The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the contribution of multimodal MRI techniques, specifically perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI), and/or MR spectroscopy (MRS), in increasing the diagnostic accuracy of MRI in brain tumours... see more

AbstractObjective: To determine whether the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value obtained by diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) can be used as a reliable detector of response of carcinoma of the cervix treated with chemoradiother... see more

AbstractAgenesis of the dorsal mesentery is a rare occurrence that usually presents in children. It is associated with proximal small bowel malrotation as well as high jejunal atresia with discontinuity of the small bowel. We present a case report of an a... see more

AbstractPrimary bone tumours account for 5% of all adolescent and child cancers. When Ewing’s sarcoma arises in soft tissue rather than bone, it is referred to as extraskeletal Ewing’s sarcoma (ESS). Computed tomography (CT) scanning and magnetic resonanc... see more

AbstractA bezoar is an agglomeration of food or indigestible foreign material in the gastro-intestinal tract. It is an uncommon cause of abdominal symptomatology and can result in intestinal obstruction. This report is of an adolescent girl with a history... see more

 

Miranda Durand,N. Paul,A. Crean

AbstractLimitations inherent in CT imaging of the thorax left the heart as an ill-defined and largely ignored area. The advent of multi-detector CT scanning and shortened imaging times has allowed clear identification of cardiac structures and pathology. ... see more

AbstractAcute gastric volvulus is a rare, but potentially life-threatening, cause of upper gastro-intestinal obstruction. The diagnosis can prove clinically challenging, and hence there is increased reliance on imaging. There are different types of gastri... see more

AbstractA rare case of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis in a horseshoe kidney is presented, with emphasis on the computed tomography findings. This very rare combination has only been reported twice in an adult, and never been published with images.

 

Samukelisiwe Sithembile Mbonane,Savvas Andronikou

AbstractImaging techniques may be underutilised when clinicians are unaware of the technique or do not recognise its potential. Phase-contrast MR imaging (PC-MRI) is a rapid, simple and non-invasive technique that is sensitive to CSF flow. It demonstrates... see more

AbstractThe aim of this article is to highlight the importance of routinely reviewing the mandibular condyle on computerised tomography brain studies in a trauma setting, that often extends to involve the mandibular condyles in the scan parameters. We dis... see more

AbstractComputed tomography confirmed a left-sided narrow neck urinary bladder diverticulum, with wall thickening, in a 56-year-old man. These findings were initially detected on ultrasonographic investigation. Transitional cell carcinoma was confirmed hi... see more

AbstractPseudoaneurysm of the femoral artery is a well-documented complication following arterial access. There are several treatment options, but percutaneous injection of thrombin, using ultrasound guidance, has become increasingly popular worldwide and... see more
