The aim of this study was to examine in detail the radiological signs of degenerative-dystrophic lesions of the spine.A comprehensive clinical and radiological examination was performed in 147 patients (97 male and 50 female) aged 18 to 60 years. Radiological examinations were started with observation and sighting spondylograms. Depending on the further research tasks and indications, spinal images, oblique projections, direct magnification, as well as functional spondylography with load and tomography were performed.

Speech recognition technology was tested to prepare protocols for radiological examinations. A method to evaluate the efficiency of speech recognition technology implementation for the preparation of radiological examination protocols has been developed. A time-study was conducted to confirm the effectiveness of voice input. The commitment of radiologist to using innovative technologies in their work practices was evaluated.

Cystic echinococcosis (CE), also known as “hydatid disease” (HD), is a zoonotic infection caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus, which infects humans as intermediate hosts through the orofecal route. Carried by the intestinal venous blood, the embryos released by the eggs of the tapeworms can reach every organ, especially the liver, turning into a hydatid cyst. Usually asymptomatic, the cysts can be incidentally detected through radiological examinations performed for other reasons. We show an unusual case of superinfection of a hydatid cyst with typical radiological features of inactivity (WHO-type CE5) with an even rarer skin fistulization passing through a subcutaneous-abdominal abscess involving the right iliac muscle.

The results of a dosimetric evaluation carried out during radioscopic observation in a room for radiological examination of the intestinal tract, are reported. On the basis of the measures obtained it has been possible to draw on the plan of the room some isoexposure curves full of recesses and enlargements. The radiation emerging from X-ray tube is not always reduced at distance from the working apparatus but on the contrary, some time can be increased. The authors point out the usefulness of adopting the indication of «hot areas» which ought to be represented by dash on the floor of the rooms where radiological examinations are made. This simple precaution would be very useful in order to improve the prophylaxis against the overexposure in radiological departments.

Background and Objective: Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) are usually misdiagnosed because of rarity and nonspecific clinical and radiological features. The aim of our study is to explore the clinical and imaging characteristics of RDD to improve diagnostic accuracy. Methods: Clinical and imaging data in 10 patients with RDD were retrospectively analyzed. 7 patients were underwent CT scanning and 3 patients were underwent MR examination. Results: 8 (8/10) patients presented with painless enlarged lymph nodes (LNs) or mass. 3 cases were involved with LNs, 5 cases were involved with extra-nodal tissues, and the remaining 2 cases were involved with LNs and extra-nodal tissue simultaneously. In enhanced CT images, enlarged LNs displayed mild or moderate enhancement, and 2 cases showed heterogeneous ring-enhancement. MR features of 3 patients with extra-nodal RDD, 2 cases showed a mass located in the subcutaneous and anterior abdominal wall respectively, and 1 case showed an intracranial mass. Besides, all lesions showed high signal foci on DWI images, and were characterized by marked heterogeneous enhancement with blurred edge. The dural/fascia tail sign and dilated blood vessels could be seen around all the lesions on enhanced MRI. Radiological features of 2 cases with LN and extranodal tissue involved, one case presented with the swelling and thickening of pharyngeal lymphoid ring and nasopharynx, meanwhile with enlarged LNs in bilateral submandibular area, neck and abdominal cavity, and also companied with osteolytic lesion in right proximal humerus. All these LNs displayed mild and moderate enhancement on CT images. Another case showed enlarged LNs in bilateral neck accompanied with soft tissue mass in the sinuses. Conclusions: RDD occurred commonly in young and middle-aged men and presented with painless enlarged LNs or mass.RDD had a huge diversity of imaging findings, which varied with different location. The radiological features, such as small patches of high signal foci in the masses on DWI images, heterogeneous enhancement and blood vessels around the masses, are helpful in diagnosis of extranodal RDD.

Renal trauma in children is more common than in adults. Clinically in pediatric patients with renal trauma do not always describe the degreeof trauma. Radiological examination, especially abdominal CT-scan with contrast, can help evaluate the damage to the kidneys so that it candetermine the degree of trauma.

Ureteropelvic junction obstruction ( UPJO ) is the most common cause of hydronephrosis in children. Hydronephrosis caused by prolongedUPJO will damaged the kidneys. Early detection needed to avoid the complication. In fact, there are cases which is discovered in older child.Therefore it is necessary to carry out appropriate diagnostic steps and support the management of patients. Radiological examination usingvarious modalities can help diagnose UPJO.
