Incidental bone marrow lesions on MRI of the spine

Incidental findings are those that were previously unknown to the patient and are unintentionally identified while investigating unrelated clinical complaints. They are usually benign and frequently encountered in routine radiological practice, especially on MRI of the spine. Familiarity with the most common ‘incidentalomas’ will result in confident diagnosis and guide adequate management of these entities. […]

Benefits of higher static magnetic fields in MR

The most common magnetic field strength used in clinical practice is 1.5 tesla, although field strengths of 0.5T and 3.0T are also widely used. The main benefit of increasing the static field strength is an increase in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the resulting images, since this scales roughly linearly with field strength. Over the past […]

Radiology museums in Europe

Most people would not include radiology museums on their ‘to visit’ list when constructing their holiday itineraries. Museums dedicated to the field of radiology or radiotherapy are relatively few and far between but there are a number of museums well worth a visit for those interested in the rich legacy of the pioneers of our […]

Pitfalls in multiparametric prostate MRI

Multiparametric prostate MRI (mpMRI) is now established as the gold standard first-line investigation for identifying potentially curative prostate cancer. It is routinely requested for men with a persistently raised PSA blood test (in the absence of a urinary tract infection) and/or concerns identified on a digital rectal examination of the prostate. The threshold for requesting […]

In vivo dosimetry in prostate brachytherapy

This study describes implementation of in vivo dosimetry for high dose rate prostate brachytherapy treatments using a commercially available metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) detector. High dose rate (HDR) prostate brachytherapy is a well established treatment for prostate cancer. Typically around 12-20 catheters are inserted into the prostate through the perineum under transrectal […]

Sounding out a virus – using lung ultrasound to combat COVID-19

The current COVID-19 pandemic is causing diagnostic and risk stratification difficulties in emergency departments (ED) worldwide. The authors believe that lung ultrasound (LUS) can be of use in mitigating uncertainty in the undifferentiated patient with respiratory symptoms. The aim of this article is to provide guidance regarding the indications for LUS in patients with acute […]

Current trends and advances in ultrasound contrast studies of the fallopian tubes and uterine cavity – a review article

Laparoscopy and hysteroscopy are universally accepted as the gold standards for examination of the fallopian tubes and uterine cavity respectively. Nevertheless current RCOG, HFEA and NICE guidelines promote ultrasound imaging modalities for first-line diagnostic testing in this respect. Hysterosonosalpingiography (HSS or HyCoSy) and saline infusion sonohysterography (SIS) evaluation of the tubes and uterine cavity are […]

Point-of-care ultrasound and haemangiomas

National and international ultrasound practice is changing and developing within radiology departments and at the point of care. Prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic a paradigm shift has begun as to who performs an ultrasound examination, and where and when it is done. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has been invaluable during the COVID-19 season. During […]
