There is concern that AxS images may not accurately measure stenosis in patients with obliquely orientated stenosis and that measurements on axial oblique (AxO) multiplanar reformats (MPR), maximum intensity projections (MIP) images, or Doppler ultrasound (DUS) are superior. We tested the performance of AxS images against AxO MPRs, MIPs, and DUS techniques for stenosis quantification.Methods: A total of 120 consecutive patients with CTA and DUS detected carotid disease were enrolled; carotids with occlusion, near occlusion, or stenosis &lt;40% were excluded. Proximal and distal carotid diameters and North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial (NASCET) style ratios were measured independently by 2 neuroradiologists on AxS, AxO, and MIP images on separate occasions in a blinded protocol. Intra- and interobserver agreements were determined for all measurements. The performance of different image types to identify ≥70% stenosis was assessed against a NASCET-style reference standard.Results: Intra- and interobserver reliabilities for stenosis measurements were higher for both AxS (interclass correlation coefficients [ICC], 0.87–0.93 and 0.84–0.89) and AxO images (ICCs, 0.82–0.89 and 0.86–0.92) than for MIPs (ICCs, 0.66–0.86 and 0.79–0.82), respectively. Intra- and interobserver agreements on the NASCET ratio tended to be lower than proximal stenosis measurements. AxS and AxO image proximal stenosis measurements most accurately distinguished patients with ≥70% stenosis (0.90), followed by DUS (0.83) and MIP images (0.76).Conclusions: A single AxS image stenosis measurement was highly reproducible and accurate in the estimation of carotid stenosis, which precluded the need for AxO MPRs.Résumé: Objet: La validité de la quantification de la sténose carotidienne sur les images source en axial (AxS) visualisée au moyen de l'angiographie par tomodensitométrie (TDM) a déjà été démontrée. Il se peut que les images AxS ne puissent mesurer précisément le degré de sténose chez les patients ayant une sténose d'orientation oblique et que les mesures des reformatages multiplans (MPR),les images à projection d'intensité maximale (MIP) ou de l'échographie Doppler (DUS) en plan axial oblique (AxO) soient supérieures. Nous avons testé le rendement des images AxS comparativement aux techniques MPR, MIP et DUS en plan axial oblique pour la quantification du degré de sténose.Méthodes: Au total, 120 patients consécutifs ayant une maladie carotidienne décelée par TDM et DUS ont été retenus; les carotides présentant une occlusion, une quasi-occlusion ou une sténose inférieure à 40 % ont été exclues. Les diamètres proximal et distal des carotides et les indices NASCET ont été mesurés indépendamment par deux neuroradiologistes à l'aide d'images AxS, AxO et MIP à des occasions distinctes dans le cadre d'un protocole à l'aveugle. La concordance intra- et interobservateur a été déterminée pour toutes les mesures. La capacité des différents types d'images à déceler une sténose supérieure ou égale à 70 % a été évaluée par rapport aux standards NASCET.Résultats: La fiabilité intra- et interobservateur pour la mesure du degré de sténose était plus élevée pour les images AxS (coefficients de corrélation interclasse [CCI], 0,87 à 0,93 et 0,84 à 0,89) et AxO (CCI, 0,82 à 0,89 et 0,86 à 0,92) que pour les MIP (CCI, 0,66 à 0,86 et 0,79 à 0,82), respectivement. Les concordances intra- et interobservateur de l'indice NASCET avaient tendance à être inférieures aux mesures proximales du degré de sténose. Les mesures proximales du degré de sténose par images AxS et AxO ont distingué le plus précisément les patients ayant une sténose supérieure ou égale à 70 % (0,90), suivies des images DUS (0,83) et MIP (0,76).Conclusions: La mesure du degré de sténose au moyen d'une seule image AxS s'est révélée très reproductible et précise pour évaluer la sténose carotidienne, éliminant la nécessité de la technique MPR en AxO.</description><dc:title>Measurement of Carotid Stenosis on Computed Tomographic Angiography: Reliability Depends on Postprocessing Technique</dc:title><dc:creator>Peter Howard, Eric S.

Part of the difficulty is that some lesions, particularly those commonly detected on dental radiography, are more familiar to dental radiologists. However, it is not uncommon for medical radiologists to be confronted with these lesions when cross-sectional imaging is performed. This review summarizes the clinical, radiologic, and histopathologic features of selected cystic jaw lesions, including both odontogenic and nonodontogenic diseases. Although not exhaustive, the lesions discussed cover a range of cysts and cyst-like lesions likely to be encountered by the radiologist.</description><dc:title>Pictorial Essay: Cysts and Cyst-like Lesions of the Jaws</dc:title><dc:creator>Aditya Bharatha, Michael J.

The role of imaging in assisting clinical evaluation is discussed. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging are first-line, noninvasive imaging techniques that provide accurate definition of anatomical causes of infertility. This affords an opportunity to deliver timely and appropriate treatment. This pictorial review illustrates normal imaging anatomy and various causes of male infertility, and focuses on congenital and acquired testicular abnormalities and post-testicular obstruction, such as congenital absence of the vasa deferentia, seminal vesicle cysts, prostatic utricle cysts, Mullerian cysts, ejaculatory duct cysts (Wolffian cysts), and epididymal obstruction.Résumé: L'infertilité est un problème courant. Le présent article traite du rôle de l'imagerie dans l'évaluation clinique de l'infertilité masculine. L'échographie et l'imagerie par résonance magnétique sont des techniques non effractives de première ligne qui permettent de déterminer avec exactitude les causes anatomiques d'infertilité et, par conséquent, d'offrir un traitement adéquat en temps opportun. Cet exposé illustre l'imagerie de l'anatomie normale du système reproducteur et de diverses causes d'infertilité masculine. Il met l'accent sur les anomalies congénitales et acquises des testicules et sur l'obstruction post-testiculaire, soit l'absence congénitale de canaux déférents, les kystes des vésicules séminales, de l'utricule prostatique, du canal de Müller et du canal éjaculatoire (kystes de Wolff) ainsi que l'obstruction de l'épididyme.</description><dc:title>The Role of Cross-sectional Imaging in Male Infertility: A Pictorial Review</dc:title><dc:creator>Kartik S.

Clinical data and CT features of these 9 cases were retrospectively analysed. The patient population included 5 men and 4 women, aged 42–81 years (mean age, 65.8 years). The patients were followed up for at least 2 years with control CTs.Results: In all 9 cases, a well-bordered nodular fat density lesion was incidentally detected in the pancreas. Four of the lesions had a lobulated contour, and 2 of them had septations. Two of the lipomas were located in the head, 3 in the neck, 3 in the corpus, and 1 in the tail. The CT densitometric values were between –90 and –120 HU, with a mean value of –106 HU. No pancreatic or biliary dilatation or compression to the adjacent structures was seen. All the cases had control CTs, and the lipomas remained unchanged during the follow-up period. Histopathologic confirmation of the diagnosis was not planned for the cases.Conclusion: Lipomas are rarely encountered in the pancreas. They often are diagnosed coincidentally as small, well-circumscribed, encapsulated, homogeneous, mature adipose masses on imaging studies. Imaging follow-up strategy or histopathologic confirmation is not necessary in asymptomatic patients.Résumé: Objectif: L'objectif de cette étude était de décrire, à propos de neuf cas, les caractéristiques tomodensitométriques des lipomes pancréatiques, en mettant l'accent sur les défis diagnostiques.Méthodes: Entre mars 2006 et avril 2008, neuf patients présentant un lipome pancréatique diagnostiqué par tomodensitométrie ont été examinés dans le cadre de la présente étude. Les données cliniques et les aspects tomodensitométriques de ces neuf cas ont été analysés rétrospectivement. La population de l'étude était constituée de cinq hommes et de quatre femmes âgés de 42 à 81 ans (âge moyen : 65,8 ans). Un suivi des patients a été effectué pendant au moins deux ans par des examens tomodensitométriques de contrôle.Résultats: Dans les neuf cas, une lésion nodulaire de densité graisseuse clairement délimitée a été découverte de façon fortuite au niveau du pancréas. Quatre des lésions avaient un contour bosselé et deux montraient un cloisonnement. Deux des lipomes étaient situés au niveau de la tête du pancréas, trois au niveau de l'isthme, trois dans le corps et un au niveau de la queue. Les valeurs densitométriques se situaient entre –90 et –120 UH (moyenne de –106 UH). Aucune compression ni dilatation des structures pancréatiques ou biliaires adjacentes n'était visible. Tous les patients ont bénéficié d'une tomodensitométrie de contrôle et les lipomes sont restés inchangés durant la période de suivi. Aucune confirmation histopathologique du diagnostic n'a été prévue pour ces neuf cas.Conclusion: Les lipomes sont rares au niveau du pancréas. Ils sont souvent diagnostiqués de façon fortuite lors d'examens d'imagerie et se présentent sous la forme de petites masses adipeuses clairement délimitées, encapsulées, homogènes et matures. Le suivi en imagerie ou la confirmation histopathologique ne sont pas nécessaires chez les patients asymptomatiques.</description><dc:title>Incidental Pancreatic Lipomas: Computed Tomography Imaging Findings with Emphasis on Diagnostic Challenges</dc:title><dc:creator>Osman Temizoz, Hakan Genchellac, Ercument Unlu, Fatih Kantarci, Hasan Umit, Mustafa Kemal Demir</dc:creator><dc:identifier>10.1016/j.carj.2010.01.004</dc:identifier><dc:source>Canadian Association of Radiologists Journal 61, 3 (2010)</dc:source><dc:date>2010-03-29</dc:date><prism:publicationName>Canadian Association of Radiologists Journal</prism:publicationName><prism:publicationDate>2010-03-29</prism:publicationDate><prism:volume>61</prism:volume><prism:number>3</prism:number><prism:issueIdentifier>S0846-5371(10)X0003-1</prism:issueIdentifier><prism:section>Abdominal Imaging</prism:section><prism:startingPage>156</prism:startingPage><prism:endingPage>161</prism:endingPage></item><item rdf:about="http://www.carjonline.org/article/PIIS084653710900240X/abstract?rss=yes"><title>Sensitivity of a Direct Computer-aided Detection System in Full-field Digital Mammography for Detection of Microcalcifications Not Associated with Mass or Architectural Distortion</title><link>http://www.carjonline.org/article/PIIS084653710900240X/abstract?rss=yes</link><description>Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity of a direct computer-aided detection (CAD) system (d-CAD) in full-field digital mammography (FFDM) for the detection of microcalcifications not associated with mass or architectural distortion.Materials and Methods: A database search of 1063 consecutive stereotactic core biopsies performed between 2002 and 2005 identified 196 patients with Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) 4 and 5 microcalcifications not associated with mass or distortion detected exclusively by bilateral FFDM. A commercially available CAD system (Second Look, version 7.2) was retrospectively applied to the craniocaudal and mediolateral oblique views in these patients (mean age, 59 years; range, 35–84 years). Breast density, location and mammographic size of the lesion, distribution, and tumour histology were recorded and analysed by using χ2, Fisher exact, or McNemar tests, when applicable.Results: When using d-CAD, 71 of 74 malignant microcalcification cases (96%) and 101 of 122 benign microcalcifications (83%) were identified. There was a significant difference (P &lt; .05) between CAD sensitivity on the craniocaudal view, 91% (68 of 75), vs CAD sensitivity on the mediolateral oblique view, 80% (60 of 75). The d-CAD sensitivity for dense breast tissue (American College of Radiology [ACR] density 3 and 4) was higher (97%) than d-CAD sensitivity (95%) for nondense tissue (ACR density 1 and 2), but the difference was not statically significant. All 28 malignant calcifications larger than 10 mm were detected by CAD, whereas the sensitivity for lesions small than or equal to 10 mm was 94%.Conclusions: D-CAD had a high sensitivity in the depiction of asymptomatic breast cancers, which were seen as microcalcifications on FFDM screening, with a sensitivity of d-CAD on the craniocaudal view being significantly better. All malignant microcalcifications larger than 10 mm were detected by d-CAD.Résumé: Objet: Cette étude avait pour objet d'évaluer la sensibilité d'un système direct de détection assistée par ordinateur utilisé en mammographie numérique plein champ pour détecter les microcalcifications non associées à la présence de masses ou à une distorsion architecturale.Matériel et méthodes: Une recherche dans une base de données répertoriant 1 063 microbiopsies stéréotaxiques consécutives pratiquées entre 2002 et 2005 a permis d'identifier 196 patientes présentant des microcalcifications de type BI-RADS 4 et 5 non associées à la présence de masses ou à une distorsion architecturale détectées exclusivement au moyen de la mammographie numérique plein champ bilatérale. Un système de détection assistée par ordinateur offert sur le marché (Second Look, version 7.2) a été appliqué rétrospectivement aux incidences cranio-caudales et médio-latérales obliques de ces patientes (âge moyen de 59 ans; fourchette de 35 à 84 ans). La densité mammaire, l'emplacement et la taille mammographique de la lésion, la répartition et l'histologie de la tumeur ont été consignés et analysés au moyen du χ2, de la méthode exacte de Fisher ou du test McNemar, selon le cas.Résultats: L'utilisation du système direct de détection assistée par ordinateur a permis de détecter 71 cas de microcalcifications malignes sur 74 (96 %) et 101 cas de microcalcifications bénignes sur 122 (83 %). Il y avait une différence significative (P &lt; 0,05) entre la sensibilité de la détection assistée par ordinateur par l'analyse des incidences cranio-caudales, soit 91 % (68 sur 75), par opposition à sa sensibilité par l'analyse des incidences médio-latérales obliques, soit 80 % (60 sur 75). La sensibilité du système direct de détection assistée par ordinateur était plus élevée (97 %) par l'analyse de tissus mammaires denses (densité de 3 et 4 selon l'ACR) que par l'analyse de tissus mammaires non denses (densité de 1 et 2 selon l'ACR) (95 %), mais cette différence n'était pas statistiquement significative. Le système de détection assistée par ordinateur a détecté les 28 calcifications malignes d'une taille supérieure à 10 mm et a affiché un taux de sensibilité de 94 % à l'égard des lésions d'une taille inférieure ou égale à 10 mm.Conclusions: Le système direct de détection assistée par ordinateur était très sensible lorsqu'il s'agissait de démontrer les cancers du sein asymptomatiques, qui apparaissaient sous la forme de microcalcifications lors du dépistage par mammographie numérique plein champ. Sa sensibilité était plus élevée par l'analyse des incidences cranio-caudales. Le système de détection assistée par ordinateur a détecté toutes les microcalcifications malignes d'une taille supérieure à 10 mm.</description><dc:title>Sensitivity of a Direct Computer-aided Detection System in Full-field Digital Mammography for Detection of Microcalcifications Not Associated with Mass or Architectural Distortion</dc:title><dc:creator>Anabel M.

It is endemic to South America, North Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Middle East . The definitive hosts are foxes and, less commonly, dogs and cats. Humans are infected by direct contact with an infected animal or by ingestion of contaminated food or fluids. Echinococcal embryos migrate through the intestinal mucosa, and, in 60%–70% of cases, reach the liver via the portal system . They can then enter the systemic circulation via the porta caval anastomoses and be carried by the bloodstream to any organ or tissue in the body. Alternatively, the eggs can be inhaled and cause primary lung disease .</description><dc:title>Intrathoracic Extrapulmonary Hydatid Disease: Radiologic Manifestations</dc:title><dc:creator>Dilek Emlik, Demet Kiresi, Guven Sadi Sunam, Ali Sami Kivrak, Sami Ceran, Kemal Odev</dc:creator><dc:identifier>10.1016/j.carj.2009.12.002</dc:identifier><dc:source>Canadian Association of Radiologists Journal 61, 3 (2010)</dc:source><dc:date>2010-01-29</dc:date><prism:publicationName>Canadian Association of Radiologists Journal</prism:publicationName><prism:publicationDate>2010-01-29</prism:publicationDate><prism:volume>61</prism:volume><prism:number>3</prism:number><prism:issueIdentifier>S0846-5371(10)X0003-1</prism:issueIdentifier><prism:section>Thoracic and Cardiac Imaging</prism:section><prism:startingPage>170</prism:startingPage><prism:endingPage>176</prism:endingPage></item><item rdf:about="http://www.carjonline.org/article/PIIS0846537109002411/abstract?rss=yes"><title>Case of the Month #163</title><link>http://www.carjonline.org/article/PIIS0846537109002411/abstract?rss=yes</link><description>A 5-year-old girl presented with a 2-week history of progressively worsening lower extremity pain, greater on the right, with an inability to bear weight.

She was clinically tender over the distal tibia and fibula bilaterally. Initial laboratory test results demonstrated a slightly decreased platelet count but was otherwise unremarkable. Further blood work showed nonspecific inflammatory markers of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (81 mm/h; reference range, 0–20 mm/h) and hypersensitive C-reactive protein (CRP) (256 mg/L; reference range, ≤0.9 mg/L) were also increased. Diagnostic workup included pelvic radiograph (), 99mTc bone scan (), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) () within 4 days of presentation to our hospital.</description><dc:title>Answer to Case of the Month #163: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia</dc:title><dc:creator>Jeffery R.
