Magnetic resonance imaging as an adjunct to computed tomography in the diagnosis of pulmonary Hydatid cysts
Conclusion: Although hydatid cyst can be diagnosed on CT on most occasions, sometimes there are challenges with certain mimics and atypical appearances. T2-weighted MRI can act as a problem solving tool to conclusively diagnose hydatid cyst or suggest an alternate diagnosis. (Source: Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging)

Bronchial anthracofibrosis: The spectrum of radiological appearances
Ashok Shah, Shekhar Kunal, Rajesh GothiIndian Journal of Radiology and Imaging 2018 28(3):333-341 Bronchial anthracofibrosis (BAF), caused by long-standing exposure to biomass fuel smoke, has emerged as a distinct pulmonary disease. It is usually seen in elderly females who have worked long hours in poorly ventilated kitchen full of smoke due to incomplete combustion of biomass fuel. The diagnosis is confirmed on bronchoscopic visualization of bluish-black anthracotic pigmentation along with narrowing/distortion of the affected bronchus. BAF has been associated with clinical conditions such as pulmonary tuberculosis, chro...

Pica and the radiologist & #8211; beyond the radiology report & #8230; digging deeper
We present a case of a 9-year-old boy who presented with chronic abdominal pain with history of persistent consumption of pencil erasers. Abdominal radiographs showed radio-opaque foreign bodies, and etiological diagnosis was made when the radiologist obtained a detailed history from the patient's mother. We also discuss the radiographic evaluation of the pencil eraser and the reason why it is densely radio-opaque. (Source: Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging)

Mucinous cystadenoma of pancreas with honeycombing appearance: Radiological-Pathological correlation
Beno Jefferson, Indiran Venkatraman, R Vinoth Kumar, Karkuzhali Ponnuswamy, Anbukkarasi , Prabakaran MaduraimuthuIndian Journal of Radiology and Imaging 2018 28(3):327-329 Most mucinous cystadenomas of pancreas are solitary and multilocular with a few large compartments. Serous cystadenomas usually have a polycystic or microcystic (honeycomb) pattern consisting of collection of cysts (usually >6) that range from few millimetres up to 2 cm in size. Here we present a case of mucinous cystadenoma of pancreas showing an unusual appearance of honeycombing (which has not been described so far) using imaging studies s...
