Uterine mesenchymal tumor (UMT) encompasses a heterogeneous group of lesions ranging from benign variants, primarily leiomyomas, to malignant sarcomas [1]. Misdiagnosing sarcoma, particularly leiomyosarcoma which are the most common histological type, can have lethal consequences due to their poor prognosis [2,3]. Additionally, the large size of these malignant tumors, which may be underdiagnosed as myomas and subsequently referred for morcellation during minimally invasive surgery, can lead to …

Radiation dose reduction and image quality enhancement for patients unable to elevate their arms in chest CT: A comparative study
To propose a method to effectively reduce radiation dose while enhancing image quality in chest CT for patients unable to elevate their arms utilizing the air–gap technique.

Conditions at risk of pancreatic cancer: The radiology perspective
Pancreatic cancer is the 14th most common cancer worldwide by incidence, but it is ranked in the 7th place of all cancer-related deaths, with an increased incidence trend in the recent years [1]. The 5-year survival rate is estimated to be 9 % in all stages, and it markedly decreases to 3 % in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer [2]. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most common malignant lesion, accounting for about 90 % of pancreatic cancers [3]. Surgical resection is the onl…

Added value of foetal MRI in a multidisciplinary prenatal diagnosis centre
There are few literature data on the use of foetal MRI in multidisciplinary prenatal diagnosis centres (MPDCs). In 2021 and 2023, the European Society of Paediatric Radiology’s Fetal Task Force updated its guidelines on indications for foetal MRI. The objective of the present study was to analyze the indications for foetal MRI and determine the technique’s added diagnostic and prognostic value in the management of pregnancies in an MPDC in France.

Assessment of AI-accelerated T2-weighted brain MRI, based on clinical ratings and image quality evaluation
To compare clinical ratings and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) measures of a commercially available Deep Learning-based MRI reconstruction method (T2(DR)) against conventional T2- turbo spin echo brain MRI (T2(CN)).

Adrenal hemangiomas versus adrenal pheochromocytomas with radiologic-pathologic correlation
Adrenal hemangiomas present a significant diagnostic challenge due to their rarity and overlapping imaging features with more commonly encountered adrenal tumors, such as pheochromocytomas. In this article, we present imaging characteristics of adrenal hemangiomas and differentiate them from pheochromocytomas and other adrenal neoplasms with similar radiologic appearances. This article is based on real clinical conundrum that the authors aim to share with readers.

Intraluminal causes of mechanical small bowel obstruction: CT findings and diagnostic approach
Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a common reason for hospitalization, accounting for approximately 20 % of all surgical admissions due to acute abdominal pain [1]. Diagnosis of SBO frequently relies on radiological assessment, focusing on key imaging features such as small bowel dilatation and air-fluid levels [2]. Plain abdominal radiography often represents the initial step in imaging work-up of SBO due to its accessibility and cost-efficiency. However, its diagnostic utility is constrained by…

RadioComics – Always these problems with the documentation of contrast agent-induced hypersensitivity reactions
Currently, the knowledge and preparedness of radiologists and radiology residents to manage hypersensitivity reactions (HSR) to contrast agents (CA) is suboptimal [1,2]. Despite the ongoing call for better education, the incorporation of such practical education in the residency curricula is still very variable [3,4].

AI for fracture diagnosis in clinical practice: Four approaches to systematic AI-implementation and their impact on AI-effectiveness
Accurate and efficient fracture-detection is crucial for timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment-planning, but false negatives are an issue in x-ray image interpretation: missed fractures are the second most common reason for medical malpractice litigations in radiology departments [1–7]. Most frequently missed extremity fractures are those of the hand-wrist and foot–ankle, accounting for up to half of all missed fractures [8,9]. The ever-present quest for improving quality of healthcare, exp…
