Insights into imaging

Cystic female pelvic lesions, whether of ovarian or non-ovarian origin, are prevalent in routine clinical practice, with the majority originating from gynaecological (ovarian) structures, ranging from functional cysts to malignant ovarian t…

Endometriosis is a complex, multicompartmental disease in which accurately conveying the extent of involvement to the surgical team is essential for preoperative planning and patient counseling. In this context, medical illustrations have g…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the impact of different reporting approaches on the completeness of endometriosis documentation in pelvic MRI reports. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective single-center analysis of 186 pelvic MRI reports categorize…

ObjectiveMedical imaging databases suitable for training machine learning/computer vision algorithms are scarce, limiting the potential for development and generalisation of clinical tools. Clinical trial databases are a source of data, kno…

ObjectiveTo develop an automatic segmentation model to delineate the adnexal masses and construct a machine learning model to differentiate between low malignant risk and intermediate-high malignant risk of adnexal masses based on ovarian-a…

Peritoneal malignancies (PM) are defined as the spread of malignant epithelial cells in the peritoneal cavity. Until the recent past, the prognosis was considered extremely poor, and the treatment options had only palliative intent. Current…

Computed tomography colonography (CTC), also known as virtual colonoscopy, is a well-tolerated, minimally invasive and effective procedure. Used for over two decades and supported by extensive studies and meta-analyses, CTC has demonstrated…

Abdominal disorders represent 10 to 15% of all Emergency Department visits in elderly patients. This educational review focuses on acute abdomen pathologies specific to the elderly and on their imaging patterns and proposes a strategy for p…

Incidental findings on female pelvic MRI present diagnostic challenges and may have significant clinical implications. Defined as abnormalities unrelated to the primary imaging indication, these findings have become increasingly prevalent w…

Mullerian duct anomalies (MDA) are a group of uncommon but treatable causes of infertility and pregnancy complications. This review describes the embryology, American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) classification 2021, and correspo…

PurposeThis review aims to summarize the current applications of quantitative MRI biomarkers in the staging, treatment response evaluation, and prognostication of endometrial (EC) and cervical cancer (CC). By focusing on functional imaging …

Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological disorder in women of reproductive age. It is the leading cause of chronic pelvic pain. While the mechanisms underlying this pain remain elusive, rare cases of pelvic nerve involvement can result in…

OBJECTIVE: This study explored the incidence of adverse events (AEs) following microwave ablation (MWA) under local anesthesia and analyzed factors related to benign uterine diseases, including uterine fibroids (UFs) and adenomyosis (AM). …

OBJECTIVE: To assess the utility of clinical and MRI features in distinguishing ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) from adnexal masses with ovarian-adnexal reporting and data system (O-RADS) MRI scores of 4-5. METHODS: This retrospective s…

BackgroundVasculature and blood flow play a crucial role in the genesis, diagnosis, and treatment of uterine fibroids. Assessment of the different aspects of blood flow by medical imaging has therefore gained a prominent place in the clinic…

OBJECTIVES: To develop an innovative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based PUMCH (Peking Union Medical College Hospital) classification system aimed at standardising the diagnosis of congenital cervical malformations (CCMs) by identifying …

Endometriosis is a chronic and disabling gynecological disease that affects women of reproductive age. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the cornerstone radiological technique for both the diagnosis and management of endometrio…

Endometriosis is a common crippling disease in women of reproductive age. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the cornerstone radiological technique for both the diagnosis and management of endometriosis. While its sensitivity, e…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether intrauterine chilled saline can reduce endometrial impairment during US-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (PMWA) of adenomyosis. METHODS: An open-label, randomized trial was conducted with sixty sympt…

ObjectivesTo determine whether MRI can predict the necessity of rectosigmoid resection (RR) for optimal debulking surgery (ODS) in ovarian cancer (OC) patients and to compare the predictive accuracy of pre- and post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy…

ObjectivesTo evaluate the efficacy of the O-RADS MRI criteria in the stratification of risk of malignancy of solid or sonographically indeterminate ovarian masses and assess the interobserver agreement of this classification between experie…

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous cryoablation (PCA), having shown effectiveness in treating liver, lung, prostate, breast, and kidney tumors, is now gaining attention for the treatment of soft tissue tumors. PCA functions by freezing tissue, which …
