Diagnostic accuracy of dual-source CT coronary angiography in obese and non-obese patients

Sep 19, 2017

3rd-generation dual source CT angiography with automated tube voltage selection provides a high diagnostic accuracy for detecting significant stenoses in coronary arteries. Detection accuracy was not significantly different between non-obese and obese patients, thus current radiation dose-saving approaches can be applied independent of body habitus.

Indeterminate Adnexal Mass

Aug 28, 2017

With this article the authors aim to deliver an update on the 2010 ESUR recommendations of MRI of the sonographically indeterminate adnexal mass. Key points: MRI is a useful complementary imaging technique for assessing sonographically indeterminate...

Reply to: Four-dimensional flow MRI for evaluation of post-stenotic turbulent flow in a phantom: comparison with flowmeter and computational fluid dynamics

Aug 8, 2017

Dear Editor, We appreciate the interest in our publication entitled “Four-dimensional flow MRI for evaluation of post-stenotic turbulent flow in a phantom: comparison with flowmeter and computational fluid dynamics”[1] The authors raised the issues of...

Four-dimensional flow MRI for evaluation of post-stenotic turbulent flow in a phantom: comparison with flowmeter and computational fluid dynamics

Aug 8, 2017

Dear Editor, A recent study by Kweon et al evaluated 4D flow MRI for evaluation post-stenotic turbulent flow and conclude that phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI) has limitations in the assessment of turbulent characteristics [1]. Evaluation and...

Measuring the length of the right hepatic duct

Jul 11, 2017

The goal of this article is to compare the length of the right hepatic duct (RHD) measured on rotatory coronal 2D MR cholangiography (MRC), rotatory axial 2D MRC, and reconstructed 3D MRC. Key points: In living liver donors, RHD length influences the...

The predictive accuracy of multiparametric MRI at T3 during neoadjuvant chemotherapy

Jul 4, 2017

The authors aim to examine the predictive value of parameters derived from diffusion-weighted imaging and contrast-enhanced-MRI at various time-points during neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer Key points: • Mid-therapy diameter changes are the best predictors...

Transjugular coiling of a Cognard IV dural arteriovenous fistula using a new monopolar detachable coil system through a flow-directed microcatheter

Jun 27, 2017

Dear Editor, Dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVF) are shunts from meningeal arteries into venous sinuses and/or cortical veins [1]. DAVF can be classified according to their venous drainage pattern based on Cognard et al. and result in a bleeding risk of 40-65 % in the...

Outlining an MRI assessment approach for acute groin injuries

Jun 27, 2017

This article focuses on the description of a multidimensional MRI assessment approach for musculotendinous groin lesions and the evaluation of scoring reproducibility. Key Points: • A multidimensional MRI assessment approach for acute groin injuries was...

Prediction of infarction development after endovascular stroke therapy with dual-energy computed tomography: Methodological issues

Jun 26, 2017

Dear Editor, I was interested to read the paper by Djurdjevic T and colleagues published in Eur Radiol 2017 Mar. After intraarterial recanalisation (IAR), haemorrhage and blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption can be distinguished using dual-energy computed tomography...
