Foreign-body granuloma mimicking post-chemotherapy residual seminoma: A case of true-negative findings using diffusion-weighted whole-body magnetic resonance imaging with background suppression
We describe a case of metastatic seminoma in a 27-year-old man in which the viability of post-chemotherapy residual nodules tested false-positive on FDG-PET, but true-negative on DWIBS. DWIBS may be a good alternative technique to evaluate post-chemotherapy seminoma, although further studies are required to determine its usefulness. (Source: European Journal of Radiology Open)

Imaging features of neurotoxoplasmosis: A multiparametric approach, with emphasis on susceptibility-weighted imaging
ConclusionISS foci are present in the vast majority of neurotoxoplasmosis patients, likely representing hemorrhage. The incidence and frequency of other abnormal foci are highest on FLAIR, and lowest on NCCT. (Source: European Journal of Radiology Open)

Asymptomatic pancreatic body herniation complicated with periauricular squamous cell carcinoma
Publication date: 2018Source: European Journal of Radiology Open, Volume 5Author(s): Isil YildizAbstractHiatus hernia is defined as herniation of the abdominal elements through the esophageal hiatus into the madiastinum. Type IV hiatal herniation is the rarest of all paraoesaphagial hernias. Herniation of pancreas is extremely rare. A 63-year-old male was admitted to the department of oncology with a periauricular squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Abdominal CT was performed for organ metastasis. No metastasis was found, but hiatal herniation of the stomach along with the body of the pancreas into the thorax was observed. To o...

Comparison of inter- and intra-observer variability of breast density assessments using the fourth and fifth editions of Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System
ConclusionThe ACR BI-RADS guideline is an acceptable method to classify breast density, resulting in substantial inter-observer agreements using criteria outlined in both the fourth and fifth editions. The intra-observer agreement was nearly perfect for radiologists using criteria outlined in both sets of guidelines. Moreover, although the percentage of women who were classified as having dense breasts was higher when radiologists used the fifth edition of ACR BI-RADS guidelines than when they used the fourth edition, this difference was not statistically significant.

Is external compression on the IVC a risk factor for IVC filter abutment? A single center experience of 141 infrarenal celect filter insertions
ConclusionIVC filter tilt, external compression on IVC wall, and IVC morphology were significantly different between the filter tip abutment and non-abutment groups. External compression and filter tilt over 9.25° were risk factors for filter tip abutment in multiple logistic regression analysis. By identifying these factors, we may be able to reduce filter tilting by preventing the filter from being deployed in a dangerous area. (Source: European Journal of Radiology Open)

Use of ophthalmic B-scan ultrasonography in determining the causes of low vision in patients with diabetic retinopathy
ConclusionsOphthalmic B-mode ultrasound is a rapid, noninvasive imaging technique that can be used with minimum discomfort in ophthalmological practice for the detection and evaluation of DR complications that predict the visual outcome. (Source: European Journal of Radiology Open)

Schwannoma of the tongue—A common tumour in a rare location: A case report
We report a rare case of lingual schwannoma in a 20-year-old male patient who presented with a small, slow-growing mass over the right lateral border of the tongue with 1 year of evolution and that became recently ulcerated. The patient underwent MRI examination and complete surgical excision. Histopathological and immunohistochemical examination confirmed the diagnosis. (Source: European Journal of Radiology Open)

Comparative study evaluating the efficiency of cooled and uncooled single-treatment MWA in thyroid nodules after a 3-month follow up
ConclusionsCMWA leads to a slightly higher but statistically not significant nodule volume reduction than uMWA. Patient comfort during cMWA is higher than during uMWA. The risk of unintended side effects is less in cMWA. A Single-treatment provides sufficient results. (Source: European Journal of Radiology Open)

Retroperitoneal inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor: A case report
We present a case of a young patient with an asymptomatic retroperitoneal mass with some imaging findings that could point to the IMT diagnosis pre-operatively. After two failed attempts to fully characterize the lesion by percutaneous and surgical biopsy, surgical resection was conducted and the final diagnosis was achieved.

Utility of coronal contrast-enhanced fat-suppressed FLAIR in the evaluation of optic neuropathy and atrophy
ConclusionCoronal CE-FS-FLAIR is quite specific in detecting optic neuropathy years after the onset of acute optic neuritis, but is less useful in detecting optic nerve atrophy. (Source: European Journal of Radiology Open)
