Diagnostic and interventional radiology (Ankara, Turkey)

PurposeTo evaluate the accuracy of three-tesla (3T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in determining deep myometrial invasion (DMI) in endometrial cancer (EC) cases and to reveal possible causes of discrepancy.MethodsPatients with EC who und…

Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an advanced hybrid imaging modality that holds substantial promise in oncologic imaging. FDG PET, a well-established molecular imaging technique…

PurposeDigital variance angiography (DVA), a recently developed image processing technology, provides a higher contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) and better image quality during lower limb interventions than digital subtraction angiography (DSA)…

PURPOSE: Although favorable results have been reported on catheter-directed sclerotherapy (CDS) for ovarian endometrioma, a thorough evaluation of its long-term efficacy is lacking. This study evaluates the long-term efficacy and safety of …

PurposeThis study aimed to compare the variability of the uterus during the menses phase (MP), follicular phase (FP), and luteal phase (LP) of the menstrual cycle using intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI).Meth…

PurposeThe T2 mapping of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in endometrial cancer (EC), benign endometrial lesions (BELs), and normal endometrium (NE) has rarely been reported. This study aimed to determine the T2 values of MRI in EC, BELs, a…

PURPOSE: We aimed to investigate the clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of uterine adenomyosis, in which there is an extensive area of high signal intensity in the myometrium on T2-weighted MRI. METHODS: This retr…

PurposeWe sought to present our preliminary experience on the effectiveness and safety of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy using a volumetric ablation technique in the treatment of As…

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a minimally-invasive and non-ionizing promising technology and has been assessed for its role in the treatment of not only primary tumors but also metastatic lesions under the guidance of ultrasou…

Cesarean section is the most commonly performed surgical procedure in women. The surgical incision line in the uterus is generally located in the lower segment of the anterior uterine wall. Acquaintance with the normal and abnormal findings…

PurposeWe aimed to evaluate the success and complication rates of image-guided pelvic abscess drainage with emphasis on factors affecting the clinical success.MethodsDuring a 7-year period, 185 pelvic abscesses were treated in 163 patients …

PURPOSE: We aimed to identify predisposing factors that could help predict the therapeutic response of adenomyosis after uterine artery embolization (UAE). METHODS: This was a retrospective, single-center study of patients admitted to the …

This pictorial review aims to discuss and illustrate the up-to-date use of preprocedural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in selecting patients and planning uterine artery embolization (UAE). The merits of magnetic resonance angiography (MR…

Endometriosis is a disease distinguished by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity with intralesional recurrent bleeding and resulting fibrosis. The most common locations for endometriosis are the ovaries, pelvic peri…

Genital tuberculosis (TB) is an important cause of female infertility in the world, especially in developing countries. Majority of infertility cases are due to involvement of the fallopian tubes (92%-100%), endometrial cavity (50%), and ov…

Uterine sarcomas are a rare heterogeneous group of tumors of mesenchymal origin, accounting for approximately 8% of uterine malignancies. They comprise leiomyosarcoma, endometrial stromal sarcoma, undifferentiated endometrial sarcoma, and a…

Hemoptysis is the expectoration of blood that originates from the lower respiratory tract. It is usually a self-limiting event but in fewer than 5% of cases it may be massive, representing a life-threatening condition that warrants urgent i…

Primary lymphomas of the female genital tract are extremely rare, and a definitive diagnosis requires correlation of the clinical, radiological, and pathological findings. Unlike nonlymphomatous malignant tumors, the treatment of lymphoma i…

Pulmonary subsolid nodules (SSNs) refer to pulmonary nodules with pure ground-glass nodules and part-solid ground-glass nodules. SSNs are frequently encountered in the clinical setting, such as screening chest computed tomography (CT). The …

PURPOSE: To report the radiological findings of a pseudolesion in the myometrium mimicking adenomyosis presumably due to air intravasation during sonohysterography (SHG). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We searched magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) …
