Imaging the Endometrium: A Pictorial Essay
Female gynaecologic conditions arising from the endometrium are common and depend on a woman's age, her menstrual history, and the use of medications such as hormone replacement and tamoxifen. Both benign and malignant conditions affect the endometrium. Benign conditions must be distinguished from malignant and premalignant conditions. The most commonly used imaging modality for evaluating the endometrium is pelvic ultrasound with transabdominal and transvaginal techniques. Additional imaging methods include hysterosonography and magnetic resonance imaging. (Source: Canadian Association of Radiologists Journal)

High-Resolution Computed Tomography Examinations for Chronic Suppurative Lung Disease in Early Childhood: Radiation Exposure and Image Quality Evaluations With Iterative Reconstruction Algorithm Use
High radiosensitivity of children undergoing repetitive computed tomography examinations necessitates the use of iterative reconstruction algorithms in order to achieve a significant radiation dose reduction. The goal of this study is to compare the iDose iterative reconstruction algorithm with filtered backprojection in terms of radiation exposure and image quality in 33 chest high-resolution computed tomography examinations performed in young children with chronic bronchitis.

Pitfalls in Radiographic Interpretation of Emphysema Patients
Emphysema commonly accompanies various complications such as pneumonia. Sometimes, these comorbidities look so strange on images, because destroyed airspaces could change the usual disease progression. So, we demonstrated various cases of common comorbidities with unusual radiographic findings in emphysema patients. Awareness of various findings of emphysema with commonly coexistent diseases may aid in the proper diagnosis and management of emphysema patients.

The Prevalence of Incidentally Detected Idiopathic Misty Mesentery on Multidetector Computed Tomography: Can Obesity Be the Triggering Cause?
Misty mesentery appearance is commonly reported in daily practice, usually as a secondary finding of various pathological entities, but sometimes it is encountered as an isolated finding that cannot be attributed to any other disease entity. We aimed to assess the prevalence of cases with incidentally detected idiopathic misty mesentery on computed tomography (CT) and to summarize the pathologies leading to this appearance.

Invasive Lobular Cancer of the Breast: A Pictorial Essay of Imaging Findings on Mammography, Sonography, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Breast cancer is the most common female cancer in the developed world and accounts for 25%–30% of all new cancer diagnoses in the women [1,2]. Invasive lobular cancer (ILC) is the second most frequent subtype after invasive ductal cancer (IDC), accounting for 8%–15% [3–5] of cases. The incidence of ILC has been steadily increasing since 1987 while rates of IDC have remained relatively constant. It has been postulated that the increase in incidence of ILC may be related to the use of combined hormone replacement therapy [6]. (Source: Canadian Association of Radiologists Journal)

Transthoracic Computed Tomography–Guided Lung Nodule Biopsy: Comparison of Core Needle and Fine Needle Aspiration Techniques
To determine if there is a statistically significant difference in the computed tomography (CT)–guided trans-thoracic needle biopsy diagnostic rate, complication rate, and degree of pathologist confidence in diagnosis between core needle biopsy (CNB) and fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB).
