To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of computed tomography (CT)-guided radiofrequency (RF) neurolysis (RFN) in the management of refractory inguinal neuralgia. ⋯ RFN with CT guidance is an effective technique in the management of refractory inguinal pain with lasting satisfactory pain reduction; it may be considered as an alternative treatment to surgery. These results should be confirmed in a controlled trial with a larger series of patients.

To analyze the signal intensity (SI) of benign hepatocellular lesions in high-b-value diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance (MR) images and to compare the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of focal nodular hyperplasias (FNHs) with those of hepatocellular adenomas (HCAs). ⋯ On DW MR images, benign hepatocellular lesions often show findings that suggest restricted diffusion.
