PURPOSE: To determine the diagnostic efficacy of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) in the diagnosis of perianal fistula and its complications. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a retrospective study based on the data of 47 patients with a clinical diagnosis of perianal fistula, who had an MRI study performed on a 1.5-T GE Signa MR scanner. DWI sequences were done using 3 different b -values. Other routine MR sequences were included. The MR images were studied to compare the diagnostic efficacy of the DW MRI sequence and other sequences in diagnosing perianal fistula and its complications...

PURPOSE: To assess the relationship between the amount of the epigastric visceral fat area and the severity of pneumonia in the course of COVID-19 using chest computed tomography (CT) examinations. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 177 patients (54 female), with COVID-19 infection were included. A routine chest CT was performed to assess the severity of pneumonia. The affected lung tissue as well as semi-quantitative scales such as the Chest CT Score and Total Opacity Score were calculated using SyngoVia VB30A CT Pneumonia Analysis software...

Peritoneal carcinomatosis, which is the most common malignant process of the peritoneal cavity, originates mostly from colorectal, gastric, and gynaecological malignancies. The differential diagnosis is broad and covers primary peritoneal malignancies, as well as many benign disorders such as endometriosis, and inflammatory and infectious diseases. Peritoneal implants tend to locate in the areas of the physiological stasis of the peritoneal fluid: pelvic peritoneal reflections, right and left paracolic gutters, superior part of the sigmoid mesocolon, ileocolic area, and the right subdiaphragmatic space...

PURPOSE: The radiological features of COVID-19 during the active disease process are well established, but the radio-logical features in the convalescent and post-recovery period of the disease are still unclear. The objectives of this study are to document and assess the proportion of the residual changes in lung post COVID-19 infection and to look for evidence and the proportion of fibrosis post COVID-19 infection on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). MATERIAL AND METHODS: HRCT thorax of COVID-positive cases done during the disease process and in the recovery/post recovery phase were included in the study...

PURPOSE: Radiological examinations are critical in the evaluation of patients with haematological malignancies for diagnosis and treatment. Any dose of radiation has been shown in studies to be harmful. In this regard, we assessed the radiation exposure of 3 types of haematological malignancies (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma [DLBCL], acute myeloid leukaemia [AML], and multiple myeloma [MM]) in our centre during the first year after diagnosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In the first year after diagnosis we retrospectively reviewed the radiation exposure data of 3 types of haematological malignancies (DLBCL, AML, and MM)...

PURPOSE: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is related with structural and pathologic changes in the left atrium (LA) and left ventricle (LV). The aim of this study was to explore the association between LA mechanics and LV characteristics in patients with HCM using cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking (CMR-FT). MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 76 patients with HCM and 26 healthy controls were included in the study. The parameters including the extent of LV late gadolinium enhancement (LGE-%) and the LV early diastolic longitudinal strain rate (edLSR) were assessed for LV...

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to develop radiomics signature-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine adrenal Cushing's syndrome (ACS) in adrenal incidentalomas (AI). MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 50 patients with AI were included in this study. The patients were grouped as nonfunctional adrenal incidentaloma (NFAI) and ACS. The lesions were segmented on unenhanced T1-weighted (T1W) in-phase (IP) and opposed-phase (OP) as well as on T2-weighted (T2-W) 3-Tesla MRIs...

Although a long time has passed since its outbreak, there is currently no specific treatment for COVID-19, and it seems that the most appropriate strategy to combat this pandemic is to identify and isolate infected individuals. Various clinical diagnosis methods such as molecular techniques, serologic assays, and imaging techniques have been developed to identify suspected patients. Although reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) has emerged as a reference standard method for diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2, the high rate of false-negative results and limited supplies to meet current demand are the main shortcoming of this technique...

PURPOSE: The hippocampus forms part of the limbic system and is involved in the learning process; it is responsible for transferring information from short-term to long-term memory. The aim of our study was to assess the effect of intensive studying on hippocampal volume and whether this correlates with exam results. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The analysis included volunteer final-year medical students who underwent 2 volumetric 3D T1 magnetic resonance imaging scans with an interval of 20 weeks: 19 weeks before and one week after the Final Medi-cal Examination...

PURPOSE: Target volume delineation is a crucial step prior to radiotherapy planning in radiotherapy for glioblastoma. This step is performed manually, which is time-consuming and prone to intra- and inter-rater variabilities. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) model for automatic segmentation of clinical target volume (CTV) in glioblastoma patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this study, the modified Segmentation-Net (SegNet) model with deep supervision and residual-based skip connection mechanism was trained on 259 glioblastoma patients from the Multimodal Brain Tumour Image Segmentation Benchmark (BraTS) 2019 Challenge dataset for segmentation of gross tumour volume (GTV)...

PURPOSE: To localize and identify chewing-related areas and their connections with other centres in the human brain using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). MATERIAL AND METHODS: The paradigm of the present study was block designed. Spontaneous and controlled chewing with sugar-free gum was used as the main task in a 3-Tesla fMRI unit with a 32-channel birdcage coil. Our study popu-lation comprised 32 healthy volunteers. To determine possible intersections, we also put the rosary pulling (silent tell one's beads) movement in the fMRI protocol...

PURPOSE: Endovascular procedures such as endovascular aneurysm repair or transcatheter aortic valve implantation have become very common because of reduced patient traumatisation and the ability to use shorter or local anaesthesia. In these procedures large-bore sheath devices are used. Access with percutaneous closure is an alternative method to surgical cutdown in groins. The aim of the study was to assess the correlation between sheath size and unsuccessful haemostasis. In addition, the effectiveness of haemostasis after a percutaneous procedure and the number and type of complications were evaluated...

PURPOSE: Congenital lung malformations (CLMs) consist of a variety of pulmonary development disorders. In the CLM approach, computed tomography (CT) is considered the gold standard imaging technique due to the high-resolution for the lung parenchyma evaluation, the study of the vascular system after contrast injection, and the multiplanar reconstructions. In the paediatric population CT is considered too invasive due to ionizing radiation and the use of contrast agent. Therefore, the indications for the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are increasing...

PURPOSE: Transradial arterial access has become more popular in body interventional procedures but has not been ubiquitously adapted. This retrospective study assesses the efficacy of this approach in uterine artery embolization. Aim of the study was to compare transradial to transfemoral arterial access in patients undergoing uterine artery embolization for the treatment of fibroids.
