Best practice MRI for penile malignancies

Penile cancer is a rare malignancy in the UK, with approximately 760 cases annually. Early symptoms often mimic benign conditions, leading to delayed diagnosis and misdirected referrals. While international guidelines emphasise physical examination for staging, MRI has emerged as a critical tool for accurate assessment and surgical planning, particularly in organ-preserving approaches. Nodal involvement remains […]

The use and technique of CT colonography in identifying colonic lesions

CT colonography (CTC) is a valuable diagnostic tool for detecting colorectal cancer (CRC), particularly when traditional colonoscopy is contraindicated or incomplete. This article outlines the clinical application and technical execution of CTC, emphasising its role in bowel cancer screening and symptomatic patient evaluation. The accuracy of CTC is highly dependent on proper bowel preparation, which […]

Preventing and minimising work-related musculoskeletal disorders among sonography practitioners

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSD) are a significant concern in the healthcare sector, particularly among sonographers due to repetitive scanning movements, awkward postures and physical strain. With a global prevalence ranging from 63 per cent to 91 per cent, WRMSDs can lead to chronic pain, reduced mobility and early career exit. This article explores the multifactorial […]

Lipoma vs atypical lipomatous tumour: key differences and diagnostic difficulties

This article provides a detailed comparison between lipomas and atypical lipomatous tumours (ALT), focusing on their clinical presentation, ultrasound features and management strategies. Soft tissue masses are frequently encountered in clinical practice, with lipomas being the most common benign type. ALTs, although less common, are locally aggressive and pose diagnostic challenges due to their similarity […]

Next generation imaging in advanced prostate cancer

Next generation imaging (NGI) techniques, particularly PSMA-PETCT and whole body MRI (WB-MRI), are transforming the diagnosis and management of advanced prostate cancer (APC). Traditional imaging methods like bone scans and CT often fall short due to low sensitivity, high false-positive rates and limited ability to detect soft tissue or marrow-based metastases. NGI addresses these limitations […]

Molecular radiotherapy in prostate cancer

Molecular radiotherapy (MRT), also known as targeted radionuclide therapy or radioligand therapy, is emerging as a transformative approach in the treatment of prostate cancer, particularly in metastatic and castration-resistant cases. Unlike traditional external beam radiotherapy, MRT delivers targeted radiation internally using radioactive substances that bind to specific tumour markers, minimising damage to healthy tissue and […]

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 […]

Optimising vessel preparation and treatment strategies in peripheral arterial disease

A comprehensive review that explores modern approaches to managing peripheral arterial disease (PAD) through endovascular techniques. PAD is a prevalent but underdiagnosed condition affecting the lower extremities, often leading to significant morbidity. Endovascular therapy has become the preferred revascularisation strategy due to its lower risk profile compared to surgical options. However, complex lesions, such as […]
