Subcutaneous metastases from clear cell endometrial carcinoma are an uncommon event and tumor implantations are rarely found with diagnostic imaging techniques. The nodular form is the most frequent type of subcutaneous metastasis from genital system tumors, even though plaque-like and infiltrative forms have also been reported. We report the first case of subcutaneous metastasis from clear cell endometrial carcinoma whose progression from the early nodular to the lymphangitic infiltrative form was studied with computed tomography (CT). Differential diagnostic problems are discussed.

Schistosomiasis is one of the most important parasitic diseases and it is endemic in tropical and subtropical areas. Clinical and laboratory data are fundamental for the diagnosis of schistosomiasis, but diagnostic imaging techniques such as x-rays, ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) may be helpful in the evaluation of disease severity and complications. In this context, the aim of this review is to explore the actual role of diagnostic imaging in the diagnosis of schistosomiasis, underlining advantages and drawbacks providing information about the utilization of diagnostic imaging techniques in this context. Furthermore, we aim to provide a useful guide regarding imaging features of schistosomiasis for radiology and nuclear medicine physicians of non-endemic countries: in fact, in the last years non-endemic countries have experienced important flows of migrants from endemic areas, therefore it is not uncommon to face cases of this disease in daily practice.

Chest imaging techniques are evolving with recent advances in computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasonography. While conventional radiography remains an important screening tool because of its low relative cost, ease of acquisition, general availability, and familiarity, physicians must understand all techniques so as to provide patients with the most appropriate diagnostic imaging. Consultation with radiologists, use of online clinical decision support, and adherence to national guidelines such as the American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria®, can help clinicians make imaging decisions, especially in light of medical imaging risks that are of concern in the medical community and the general population. Choosing appropriate imaging, including whether or not to image, requires careful consideration. This review contains 6 figures, 3 tables, and 6 references.

Diagnostic Imaging Techniques

Lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a chronic, debilitating disease with a significant global burden. A number of diagnostic imaging techniques exist, including computed tomography angiography (CTA) and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CEMRA), to aid in PAD diagnosis and subsequent treatment planning. Due to concerns of renal toxicity or nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) for iodinated and gadolinium-based contrasts, respectively, a number of non-enhanced MRA (NEMRA) protocols are being increasingly used in PAD diagnosis. These techniques, including time of flight and phase contrast MRA, have previously demonstrated poor image quality, long acquisition times, and/or susceptibility to artifacts when compared to existing contrast-enhanced techniques. In recent years, Quiescent-Interval Single-Shot (QISS) MRA has been developed to overcome these limitations in NEMRA methods, with promising results. Here, we review the various screening and diagnostic tests currently used for PAD. The various NEMRA protocols are discussed, followed by a comprehensive review of the literature on QISS MRA to date. A particular emphasis is placed on QISS MRA feasibility studies and studies comparing the diagnostic accuracy and image quality of QISS MRA versus other diagnostic imaging techniques in PAD.

ABSTRACT Sphenoid sinus lesions can present with a multitude of symptoms/signs including ophthalmic disturbances. We describe a total of five patients, of which two had mucoceles and rest three had fungal infection. Ophthalmic symptoms/signs were the ones we were really interested in. We also present one case which had isolated sphenoid fungal sinus. We also give details of their presentation, investigations and treatment. Possible ocular manifestations of mucoceles and the diagnostic imaging techniques used are discussed. The treatment of mucoceles is reviewed. It is stressed that a team approach involving the ophthalmologist, otolaryngologist and radiologist is essential for accurate diagnosis and management.

Diagnostic Imaging Techniques

Lung cancer bone metastases hold one of the leading positions. At the same time, data of the rate of lung cancer bone metastases are scarce. Clinical symptoms of bone metastases in the early stages may be missing. Time of bone metastases appearance, as well as localization depending on the size of primary lesion and its histological structure are not well-covered. According to domestic and foreign literature data, the advantages and limitations of radiological and nuclear methods in detecting bone metastases of non-small cell lung cancer are presented, their resolution and sensitivity are discussed. The analysis of comparative results of various diagnostic imaging techniques in detecting lung cancer bone metastases (X-ray, bone scintigraphy, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, single-photon emission computed tomography, positron-emission tomography) is of undoubted interest. These data are necessary for choosing the appropriate diagnostic tactics and selecting an adequate sequence of using high-tech radiology methods for early detection of lung cancer bone metastases. However, the comparative data presented in the literature are generally based on a scarce clinical material; mostly comparisons of diagnostic capabilities of only two methods were held. There is no data on the rate of bone metastases of peripheral non-small cell lung cancer and its association with the localization, size and histological structure of the primary tumor.
