Role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) including diffusion weighted images (DWIs) in assessment of parotid gland masses with histopathological correlation
ConclusionIlldefined border, diffuse growth pattern and infiltration of surrounding structures are specific MR signs of parotid mass malignancy. Involvement of both parotid lobes, low T2WIs signal and high degree of contrast enhancement are suggestive signs of malignancy. ADC value had appreciable add value in parotid mass evaluation.

Value of FNAC in abnormal axillary lymph nodes with non specific mammograms
ConclusionsFNAC was a good cytological predictor in the majority of patients with abnormal lymph nodes and nonspecific mammography. FNAC is cost effective in assessing axillary lymph node status especially in limited resource setting like in our developing country. FNAC is preferred diagnostic tool in all cases of abnormal axillary lymph adenopathy. (Source: The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine)

Diagnostic performance of sonohysterography and MRI diffusion in benign endometrial lesion characterization
ConclusionHigh incidence of occult endometrial lesions in breast cancer patients in dependent of tamoxifen therapy, suggests pretreatment endometrial assessment.HSG is accurate in discrimination between focal and diffuse endometrial lesions, and help making a decision for either hysteroscopy or directed biopsy, but cannot reliably differentiate benign and malignant lesions.MRI DWI is accurate noninvasive method in distinguishing benign from malignant endometrial lesions which need further evaluation by biopsy.We recommend that HSG can be used as an initial investing technique in cases of endometrial abnormalities, however ...
