To investigate the natural course of persistent pulmonary subsolid nodules (SSNs) with solid portions ≤5 mm and the clinico-radiological features that influence interval growth over follow-ups. ⋯ • Pure GGNs ≥10 mm have significantly more frequent interval growth than those <10 mm. • Part-solid GGNs ≥8 mm have significantly more frequent interval growth than those <8 mm. • Management of SSNs with solid portions ≤5 mm can be subdivided by diameter.
-
To determine the different imaging features of intrahepatic mass-forming cholangiocarcinoma (IMCC) from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) on gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). ⋯ • Analysis of enhancement characteristics helped accurate discrimination of IMCCs from HCCs. • Wash-out should be determined on the PVP of gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI. • A hypointense rim on the HBP was a significant finding of IMCCs.
-
To analyse predictors for short- and long-term renal function changes after fenestrated and branched endovascular aortic repair (EVAR). ⋯ • Longer procedure time is associated with an increased risk for AKI. • Renal perfusion defects on angiography are associated with increased risk for AKI. • Post-EVAR AKI is associated with higher probability for long-term eGFR decrease. • Iodinated contrast volume is not an independent risk factor for AKI. • Iodinated contrast volume is not an independent risk factor for long-term eGFR decrease.

Screw fixation (osteosynthesis) can be performed percutaneously by interventional radiologists. We report our experience in cancer patients. ⋯ • Screw fixation (osteosynthesis) can be performed percutaneously by interventional radiologists. • CT- or CBCT-guidance results in high technical success rates for screw placement. • This minimally invasive technique avoids extensive surgical exposure in bone cancer patients. • Osteosynthesis provides pain relief for bone-insufficiency fractures and for pathologic fractures. • Osteosynthesis plus cementoplasty provide prophylactic consolidation of impending pathological fractures.
