Contrast-enhanced mammography is developing as an alternative to MRI in some situations. However, in order to decrease the radiation dose, the question is if we can perform only a single view instead of a double view. From this cohort, the answer is not positive. Tip:...
Dear Editor, We read with considerable interest Dr. Uhlig and colleagues’ article “Diagnostic accuracy of cone-beam breast computed tomography: a systematic review and diagnostic meta-analysis” published in the March 2019 issue of European Radiology [1]. The authors...
Dear Editor, We would like to raise attention to the potential need for a revisit of suggested imaging protocols for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) in light of the progress in abdominal MRI techniques exemplified a poignant case from our specialist...
Dear Editor, We have read with great interest the article entitled “Assessment of primary liver carcinomas other than hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with LI-RADS v2018: comparison of the LI-RADS target population to patients without LI-RADS-defined HCC risk factors”...
Dear Editor, We would like to thank Dr. Rueda et al. for their interest in our recent study. Our study validated the feasibility of using adjusted definitions for echogenicity and mixed echogenicity which are differently used in various risk stratification systems. We...
Dear Editor, We have read with great interest the article entitled “Ultrasound malignancy risk stratification of thyroid nodules based on the degree of hypoechogenicity and echotexture” by Lee et al [1]. In this study, it is suggested that the lexicon of...
To the Editor, Eberhard et al. conducted a prospective study to assess predictors of ≤ 1-year mortality in 205 patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) [1]. By Cox regression analyses, hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) of supra-hepatic...
Dear Editor, Wan et al. recently compared transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) with TIPS plus concomitant partial splenic embolization (PSE) on the long-term shunt patency and overall survival of TIPS-treated patients in European Radiology [1]. We...
We thank Prof Jawdat Abdulla very much for his interest in our research [1] and for his kind opinions. We hope we have resolved the issue he was concerned about. We extracted the mean difference (MD) and limit of agreement (LoA) of each right ventricular function...
Dear Editor, We have read with interest the paper by Fu et al, who have conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis of the published studies on computed tomography (CT) compared to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for functional evaluation of right ventricle [1]. Nineteen...
