To evaluate incidental findings in major trauma patients, and to explore whether computed tomography (CT) could be used to assess prevalence and estimate disease spread in the general population. The study population included all patients admitted following major trauma between 1 January 2020 and 30 April 2020 with CT including the lungs (n=523). M...

The perinephric space is the middle compartment of the retroperitoneum, containing the kidneys and adrenal glands. Differential considerations for diseases involving primarily the perinephric space differ from those arising from the kidney itself, show variant imaging features, and require identification and characterisation by interpreting radiolo...

Aortic stenosis is increasing in incidence and is now commonly managed with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in intermediate and high-risk patients. Radiologists are likely to encounter patients undergoing this procedure both pre- and postoperatively, and therefore, an understanding of procedural complications is essential. Complicatio...

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement in selected patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) and high surgical risk. The planning and follow-up of TAVI requires an array of imaging techniques, each has advantages and limitations. Echocardiography and multidetector computer t...

Temporomandibular disorders are common, especially in young to middle-aged women, and most settle with supportive treatment. Imaging is indicated for the small percentage of cases that do not respond to conservative management and when the diagnosis is no doubt. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a bilateral synovial articulation between the mand...

Aortic stenosis is the most prevalent valvular heart disease worldwide, and rates are increasing with the growing and more elderly population. Although the precise mechanisms that underpin aortic valve stenosis are incompletely understood, pathological valvular calcification has emerged as a key instigator in mediating the biomechanical stiffening ...

Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is the commonest primary valve disorder with increasing prevalence with age. Trans-thoracic echocardiogram is the main imaging technique used to diagnose AS, but discrepancy in diagnosis has been described in almost one third of cases. Other imaging methods, particularly electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated computed tomography, ...

For surgical aortic valve replacement, the Society of Thoracic Surgeons score (STSS) is the reference standard for the prediction of operative risk. In transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) though, where the procedure itself is minimally invasive, the traditional risk assessment is supplemented by CTA. Through a consistent approach to the ...

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a term that includes several chronic conditions in which partial or complete cessation of breathing occurs multiple times throughout the night. Central sleep apnoea (CSA) is uncommon and defined by the episodic cessation of airflow without respiratory effort. Lesions involving the respiratory centre in the brains...
