Measuring the length of the right hepatic duct

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...

Outlining an MRI assessment approach for acute groin injuries

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...

Detecting MS lesions on 3.0T MRI

This article pursues tow goals: comparing 2D T1-weighted GRE and SE sequences in the detection of MS lesions and assessing the impact of visual conspicuity and laterality in it.   Key Points: • 2D SE and GRE sequences are useful for detecting active MS lesions. •...

How high is the risk?

This study examines the risk for cirrhosis patients of hypervascular hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) developing from hypovascular hepatic nodules showing positive uptake of gadoxetic acid (hyperintensity) on hepatocyte phase images. Key Points: • Hypervascularization...

Can DECT predict the future?

Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) can be used to differentiate between haemorrhage and blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption after intraarterial recanalisation (IAR). This study evaluates if DECT can be used to predict future infarction development. Key Points: •...
