Central nervous system infection: Radiological patterns

Infections of the central nervous system (CNS) can be highly debilitating and life threatening. A favourable prognosis relies on rapid recognition and early targeted treatment. Imaging plays a pivotal role in diagnosis and in assessing treatment response. Unfortunately, the overlap of disease patterns and radiological entities, together with the evolution of CNS infections, for example […]

Management of intracranial aneurysms

Management of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) has advanced over the past decades due to advances in imaging and endovascular techniques of unruptured and ruptured aneurysms. In this article we aim to provide an overview of intracranial aneurysms and their management with advances in endovascular techniques.

PETCT in lymphoma

Lymphomas can be broadly divided into Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). There are over 60 subtypes of NHL and in this heterogeneous group of malignancies, two of the most common subtypes are diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) representing the high grade or histologically aggressive lymphomas, and follicular lymphoma (FL) which is low grade […]

Breast ultrasound errors

Breast ultrasound errors can be grouped into four main types. One of these is not performing an ultrasound when a scan would have contributed to patient management. Location/correlation errors can occur where either the scan is performed in the wrong place or a lesion identified by ultrasound is wrongly assumed to be a lesion previously […]

Clinical image quality in mammography

Image quality in mammography encompasses several interlinking domains. Certain determinants of overall image quality are physical and unchangeable, such as the detector’s pixel size. Features of the image such as exposure, contrast and noise can be considered as being determined by an interaction between the system’s technical specifications and the operator, with the operator perhaps […]

MRI in patients with implantable cardiac devices

Over the last decade there has been a considerable increase in both the number of patients referred for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and in the number of patients requiring implantable cardiac devices. An estimated 50-75% of patients with implanted cardiac devices may require an MRI during the lifetime of their device. Traditionally, cardiac pacemakers have […]

MRI of the thorax – an update

Chest radiology traditionally consists of plain chest x-rays and computed tomography examinations, or so it was a decade ago. New modalities and developments in techniques now require a more comprehensive functional and structural approach to imaging the chest, which should include assessment of all its contents (the term is cardiothoracic radiology) as well as application […]

Is modern diagnostic ultrasound safe?

Gone are the days when an ultrasound scan was simply a choice of an anatomical B-mode image or a Doppler examination for studying blood flow. The number of scanning modes, and the range of information that can be gleaned from them has increased significantly. Diagnostic ultrasound can not only provide anatomical images, but now gives […]
