Chronic mesenteric ischaemia: role of interventional radiology in enhancing clinical outcomes

Chronic mesenteric ischaemia (CMI) is a progressive vascular condition where insufficient blood flow to the gastrointestinal tract leads to postprandial pain, sitophobia and weight loss. Unlike acute mesenteric ischaemia, CMI develops gradually and is often underdiagnosed due to vague symptoms and the protective role of collateral circulation. Although mesenteric arterial stenosis is common, symptomatic CMI […]

Contrast-enhanced mammography in screening and symptomatic work

Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) is an advanced breast imaging technique that enhances traditional mammography with iodine-based contrast, offering both structural and functional insights. It significantly improves cancer detection, especially in women with dense breast tissue, where conventional mammography often falls short. CEM demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity, rivalling breast MRI in many diagnostic scenarios, including pre-operative […]

Gallbladder polyp surveillance using ESGAR guidelines

Gallbladder polyps are a very common entity. On transabdominal ultrasound (TAUS) they are present on up to 7% of studies, and cholecystectomy specimens have shown a prevalence of between 2-12%. A gallbladder polyp is defined as an elevation of the mucosa, which projects into the lumen and should not demonstrate mobility or posterior acoustic shadowing […]
