Imaging in cancer of unknown primary

Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) is an oncological diagnosis encompassing whole body disease sites. The term is used in the context of histologically confirmed epithelial malignancy where comprehensive clinical, radiological and pathological investigations fail to identify the organ of origin. CUP accounts for 1-2% of cancers worldwide with 8,100 new cases per year in the […]

Incidental findings in multiparametric MRI of the prostate

Imaging is an integral part of diagnosis and treatment. Multiparametric MR prostate imaging is primarily done to evaluate the prostate and to identify targets for biopsy. This helps to reduce sampling errors and improve subsequent correct diagnosis and management of prostate cancers. It is called multiparametric imaging as various sequences such as T2W, T1W, DWI, […]

Developing a predictive model for baseline detection and follow-up of risk of prostate cancer progression on active surveillance

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in 112 countries, and its incidence and mortality will have doubled by 2040. Nearly 50% of newly presenting patients in the UK harbour low and intermediate-favourable-risk localised disease, for which active surveillance (AS) offers non-inferior survival outcomes compared to radical treatment. AS involves repeat testing to […]

Tips and tricks for performing and interpreting MCA Doppler PSV

Doppler interrogation of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) to obtain a peak systolic velocity (PSV) is performed to assess fetal anaemia by measuring the velocity of blood flow to the fetal brain. This is because the cerebral vessels respond quickly to the reduction of oxygen levels within the brain. MCA PSV measurement is used only […]

Are hand-held ultrasound devices ready for prime time?

There are growing numbers of specialists practising ultrasound independently of radiology departments, termed point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). It is becoming increasingly integrated into standard clinical assessment by clinicians in order to improve patient care in different healthcare settings. Ultrasound machines have become more advanced and compact, with many potential clinical applications to accommodate such practice. There […]
