CT perfusion in non-small cell lung cancers for assessing treatment response, monitoring treatment and predicting prognosis
ConclusionsTumours with higher baseline BF and PS respond well to chemo-radiation. Changes in the PS values can predict the development of metastasis and hence, the long term outcome. (Source: The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine)

In diagnosis of pleural effusion and pneumothorax in the intensive care unit patients: Can chest us replace bedside plain radiography?
ConclusionsIn evaluation of ICU patients with pleural effusion and pneumothorax, chest US is the first bedside tool with high diagnostic performance. These chest conditions are urgent especially in seriously ill patients, as both need US guided drainage. Chest US has many advantages, including non invasive examination in multiple planes, free of radiation hazard, less expensive, real-time, high sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy in chest lesions detection. Lung ultrasound is being exclusive than bedside chest X-ray and equal to chest CT in diagnosing pleural effusion and pneumothorax. (Source: The Egyptian Journal of Radi...

CT aortic annulus parameters for pre-operative TAVI assessment: A comparative study between manual post processing and automated software tool
ConclusionThe automated software introduced rapid, accurate and reliable measurements for the aortic annulus in cases prepared for TAVI and can be used as a standard method. Also, it can be performed by junior staff with avoidable human errors. (Source: The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine)

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.

MDCT angiography mapping of abnormal bronchopulmonary vasculature in patients with haemoptysis
ConclusionThis study has shown that MDCT angiography is a valuable non invasive diagnostic tool in the evaluation of haemoptysis. It provides a roadmap of the vascular abnormalities and aids in the diagnosis of the underlying disease. (Source: The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine)

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 ...
