AbstractAnatomy is the key to accurate imaging interpretation. It is essential for radiologists to thoroughly understand the normal anatomy and spatial relationships of the stomach and duodenum to accurately localize the site of abnormality. In this article, we describe in detail the gross and applied radiological anatomy of the stomach and duodenum, and the current role of various radiological investigations (including barium studies, endoscopic ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging) in the evaluation of the diseases involving the stomach and duodenum.

Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are enabling more precise diagnosis and treatment planning in patients with diseases of the larynx. The aim of this article is to describe the role of these methods in assessment of the laringeal diseases and key local anatomic characteristics important for spread of the disease. CT and MRI have a valuable contribution to the staging of the tumors due to the possibility to show the relationship to the ventricular complex, involvement of the subumucosal spaces, defining craniocaudal and anterposterior extension, laringeal cartilage invasion, as well as regional lymph node metastases.

The development of Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance has reduced the diagnostic role of Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) in the neuroradiological evaluation of intracranial tumors. DSA is currently an important pre-surgical examination, able to offer important information regarding the type and the entity of neoplastic vascularization. Moreover the development of endo-vascular interventional practices (pre-surgical embolization of meningiomas and endo-arterious chemotherapy of gliomas) has widened the applications of angiography.
