Purpose: To describe early chest imaging abnormalities in patients with acute Puumala virus infection. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study (2005–2017) comprised 64 patients who were admitted to the emergency department of a Belgian hospital. These patients were diagnosed with serologically confirmed acute Puumala virus infection and had...

Objectives: To compare the diagnostic performance of intra-arterial dual phase cone-beam computed tomography (DP-CBCT) with contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT) when characterizing tumor burden in patients with metastatic liver cancer. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 29 patients with colorectal (n =10), breast (n =...

Teaching Point: Cranial hemangiopericytoma is a rare neoplasm that can be differentiated from meningioma on imaging by its lobulated, mushrooming contours and adjacent osteolysis rather than hyperostosis.

Objective: To determine MRI findings that can differentiate anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears from mucoid degeneration. Material and Methods: Thirty-seven patients with complete ACL tears and 43 with ACL mucoid degeneration were included in this study. Discontinuity, the abnormal signal intensity of the ACL on fat-saturated-PD weighted images,...

Despite developments in electrophysiological testing, imaging remains the standard method to determine cochlear implant positioning. Whilst cone beam computed tomography is optimal, modified Stenver radiographs are easier to perform and are therefore commonly used. With recent debate as to the need for routine imaging in uncomplicated cases, the ra...

Teaching Point: Abnormal embryological cecal fixation may lead to volvulus, which accounts for approximately 1 to 3 percent of all colic obstructions. A pack of suggestive CT features can make the diagnosis.
