Evaluation of treatment response is a challenging issue in glioblastoma. There are several traps when making the decision between pseudoprogression and true progression. This systematic review and meta-analysis show that Multiparametric MRI provides important...
With the last three European Radiology issues of 2018 in the pipeline, we wanted to take the opportunity to look back on this year’s theme and reflect upon the message the European Society of Radiology intends to convey with its special cover issues. 2018’s covers...
There is an expected advantage sharing imaging data, allowing studies based on larger multicentric samples. There are technical solutions to that, and this will probably become a standard for research. Radiologists should be organized in order to increase...
Whole body CT with only 1.5 mSv detects osteolytic lesions Very low-dose CT examinations can be achieved with low kV and tin filtering, reaching a total dose of 1.5 mSv for this whole-body examination. CT can now become a routine tool to detect and follow-up...
In general, a lower dose means a lower image quality. The authors have studied the lowest acceptable dose for a reliable analysis of the appendix, for general radiologists and for dedicated specialists. Is it possible to go under 1 mSv? Read this article to...
This study shows that sMRI is a valuable addition to conventional MRI for patients with vertebral fractures. Key points: • sMRI allows a reliable evaluation of vertebral body fractures. • sMRI has higher accuracy than standard-MRI for evaluation of...
Haemoptysis is a common complication of lung biopsy, which can occasionally be very severe. This paper, based on a very large number of patients, evaluates the risk factors, among them the main pulmonary artery diameter (mPAD). Key points: mPAD...
Coronary artery CT includes measurements as well as some subjective analysis. Using a CAD helps standardise the report and improves communication, as well as making the radiologist’s work easier. Key points: CAD-RADS is a tool for standardising coronary CTA...
With the increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome, imaging now plays an additional prognostic role, especially in the personalization of cardio-vascular events. This paper prospectively shows the importance of liver disease and its relationship with...
The 29th Annual Meeting of the European Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (ESGAR) celebrated in Dublin, Ireland, saw the handover of the ESGAR European Radiology Awards. The Gold Award was won by a combined team from Maastricht University Medical...
