Correlation between MRI characteristics of medulloblastoma with histopathological subtypes and 2-year survival
Conclusion: MR imaging features of intracranial leptomeningeal seeding and the presence of necrosis were correlated with a specific histologic subtype of MB. The enhancement pattern as well as necrosis correlated with 2-year poorer outcome of the disease. (Source: Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging)

Niche role of MRI in the evaluation of female infertility
Shabnam Bhandari Grover, Neha Antil, Amit Katyan, Heena Rajani, Hemal Grover, Pratima Mittal, Sudha PrasadIndian Journal of Radiology and Imaging 2020 30(1):32-45 Infertility is a major social and clinical problem affecting 13–15% of couples worldwide. The pelvic causes of female infertility are categorized as ovarian disorders, tubal, peritubal disorders, and uterine disorders. Appropriate selection of an imaging modality is essential to accurately diagnose the aetiology of infertlity, since the imaging diagnosis directs the appropriate treatment to be instituted. Imaging evaluation begins with hy...

Chemotherapy-induced pulmonary complications in cancer: Significance of clinicoradiological correlation
Ekta Dhamija, Pankaj Meena, Vidyasagar Ramalingam, Ranjeet Sahoo, Sameer Rastogi, Sanjay ThulkarIndian Journal of Radiology and Imaging 2020 30(1):20-26 Chemotherapy while revolutionizing cancer management by improving survival and quality of life; is also associated with several adverse effects. Lung is the most common organ affected in chemotherapy-related complications, due to either drug toxicity or more commonly due to infections caused by immunosuppression and less commonly due to immune-mediated injury. Radiology, when used in combination with clinical and lab data, can help reach the specific diagnosis or narrow d...

Diffusion weighted imaging in breast cancer & #8211; Can it be a noninvasive predictor of nuclear grade ?
Conclusion: ADC values can be used to differentiate lower grade breast carcinoma (grade I) from higher grades (grade II and III). Minimum ADC values are more accurate in predicting the grade of the breast tumor than mean ADC value. (Source: Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging)
