Imaging of head and neck lymph nodes

Lymph nodes are vital components of the immune system and are numerous in the neck. They are ovoid structures surrounded by a capsule that are fed by afferent lymphatic vessels transporting lymphatic fluid from the soft tissues. The substance of the lymph node contains immune cells and immune mediators, in effect filtering the lymphatic fluid, […]

MRI of the acute oncology patient

MRI, with its unrivalled soft tissue contrast, multiplanar and functional capability, plays an essential role in the imaging and subsequent management of patients with cancer. Among functional imaging techniques, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has significantly impacted oncological imaging over the past two decades. While DWI is primarily the focus of cancer research as a potential biomarker, […]

Comparing the effectiveness of MRI and ultrasound in the diagnosis of early-stage rheumatoid arthritis: a literature review

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune and inflammatory condition that damages the lining of synovial joints and subchondral bone marrow. RA progressively causes functional decline, which can lead to permanent pathological deformity and premature mortality due to cardiovascular co-morbidities. RA typically affects the smaller joints of the hands and feet; however, larger joints can […]

The magic cauldron: ingredients to transition ultrasound from teaching undergraduate anatomy to postgraduate POCUS

Integrating ultrasound into undergraduate medical curricula in the UK remains a hard nut to crack. While UK medical schools are making progress, there is no standardised undergraduate medical ultrasound curriculum and we are considerably behind the USA and Europe. As a new medical school, we were able to consider the essential ingredients to include in […]

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 […]
