Background: The endodontic management of patients with complex systemic conditions represents a significant clinical challenge, particularly in cases involving combined endodontic-periodontal lesions and extensive root resorptions. This cas…

Due to the growing use of cross-sectional imaging in emergency departments, acute gynaecologic disorders are increasingly diagnosed on urgent multidetector computed tomography (CT) studies, often requested under alternative presumptive diag…

OBJECTIVE: We illustrate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of endometriosis. BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic gynaecological condition affecting women of reproductive age and may cause pelvic pain and infertility. It is ch…

Superior mesenteric artery syndrome, also known as Wilkie's syndrome, is a rare vascular disease caused by the anomalous course of the superior mesenteric artery arising from the abdominal aorta with a smaller angle than the norm (<22°). Th…

ObjectiveWe propose a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) guided approach to differential diagnosis of ovarian tumours based on morphological appearance.BackgroundCharacterization of ovarian lesions is of great importance in order to plan adeq…

OBJECTIVE: We illustrate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of non-neoplastic tubaric conditions. BACKGROUND: A variety of pathologic non-neoplastic conditions may affect the fallopian tubes. Knowledge of their imaging appearance…

PurposeThis study was undertaken to prospectively determine the diagnostic capabilities of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in detecting myometrial and cervical invasion and lymph node involvement in endometrial carcinoma and to identify the…
