Dual modality imaging of positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) in evaluation of postoperative renal cancer patients
ConclusionPET/CT had advantage to PET and CT alone, making it an appropriate imaging technique in recurrence detection, therapeutic assessment and follow up of patients with renal cell carcinoma. (Source: The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine)

Integration of magnetic resonance imaging in characterization of inflammatory breast disorders
ConclusionDiagnostic approach to inflammatory disorders includes multi-imaging modalities. Each modality plays a specific role in diagnosis with the highest specificity encountered on MRI evaluation followed by ultrasound and limited specificity on mammographic evaluation. It is essential to discriminate benign from malignant etiologies as there are major differences in their prognosis, and treatment options.

Postoperative MRI for anorectal malformations
ConclusionMRI is very useful in the postoperative assessment in patients with anorectal malformations. It plays an important role in diagnosis of possible causes of incontinence, postoperative complications and detecting associated anomalies in one study.

Role of magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography in diagnosis and followup rheumatoid arthritis in hand and wrist joints
ConclusionWe found a significant correlation between power Doppler ultrasonography and MRI in the detection of signs of inflammation and bone destruction in the wrist and hand joints in rheumatoid arthritis, which raise the potential importance of power Doppler study in the assessment and monitoring of disease activity as a reliable non-invasive method.

Evaluating the role of ultrasound in chest trauma: Common complications and computed tomography comparative evaluation
ConclusionChest ultrasonography has significant value for diagnosing complications of blunt and penetrating chest trauma with acceptable sensitivity and high specificity, particularly for pleural lesions and rib fractures. Ultrasound overcomes the difficulties involved in radiological examinations of small children and uncooperative patients. (Source: The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine)

Is magnetic resonance diffusion-weighted imaging superior in the diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma and does it have a prognostic value?
ConclusionDWI added to conventional imaging is a superior modality that aids in differentiating PDAC from the unaffected parenchyma, but not from other malignancies, with a recommended b-value 1000 s/mm2. Higher ADC may also be associated with better survival for PDAC patients. (Source: The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine)

Cost-effectiveness of ultrasound-guided surgical clips placement for breast cancer localization prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy
ConclusionSurgical clips can be used safely to replace the usual commercial markers in the localization of breast cancer before NAC. They showed effective results with no complications, don't interfere with the patients' imaging and of the significant low cost compared to the commercial ones.

The diagnostic potential of diffusion weighted and dynamic contrast enhanced MR imaging in the characterization of complex ovarian lesions
ConclusionThe addition of DW and DCE-MRI to the conventional MRI improved its diagnostic value. They provide additional information for the lesion behavior. Thus they are recommended to be added to the routine conventional MRI to help characterization of complex masses. (Source: The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine)
