Radiogenomics: bridging imaging and genomics
Published in Abdominal Radiology
From diagnostics to prognosis to response prediction, new applications for radiomics are rapidly being developed. One of the fastest evolving branches involves linking imaging phenotypes to the tumor genetic profile, a field commonly referred to as “radiogenomics.” In this review, a general outline of radiogenomic literature concerning prominent mu...

Published in Abdominal Radiology
Purpose of reviewTo review the current status and ideal time interval of the combination therapy of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and local ablation for patients with HCCs.Recent findingsIn recent years, local ablation has been proposed as an alternative curative treatment in the management of HCC. Additionally, many treatment options are ...

Ischiorectal fossa: benign and malignant neoplasms of this “ignored” radiological anatomical space
Published in Abdominal Radiology
PurposeTo review the pertinent anatomy and the imaging features of common and uncommon benign and malignant neoplasms and masses of the ischiorectal fossa.ResultsThe ischiorectal or ischioanal fossa is the largest space in the anorectal region. The benign neoplasms that develop in the ischiorectal originate from the different components that forms ...
Revisiting quantitative multi-parametric MRI of benign prostatic hyperplasia and its differentiation from transition zon...
Published in Abdominal Radiology
PurposeThis study investigates the multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) appearance of different types of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and whether quantitative mpMRI is effective in differentiating between prostate cancer (PCa) and BPH.Materials and methodsPatients (n = 60) with confirmed PCa underwent preoperative 3T MRI. T2-weighted, multi-echo T2-we...
Imaging features of immune-mediated genitourinary disease
Published in Abdominal Radiology
PurposeImaging features of immune-mediated genitourinary diseases often overlap, and the same disease may manifest in different ways, so understanding imaging findings in the context of the patient’s entire clinical picture is important in providing the correct diagnosis.MethodsIn this article, diseases mediated by the immune system which affect th...
Comparison of parallel and crossed placement of antennas in microwave ablation of 3–5 cm hepatocellular carcinoma
Published in Abdominal Radiology
PurposeTo evaluate the effects of ablation strategies on local tumor progression (LTP) after microwave ablation (MWA) of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) measuring 3–5 cm.Materials and methodsBetween December 2011 and May 2017, 71 HCC patients with 71 nodules treated by ultrasound(US)-guided percutaneous MWA were divided into parallel (group A) and...
