Abstract Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage procedures are an increasingly utilized minimally invasive alternative to percutaneous or surgical management strategies, having been shown to decrease recovery time, cost, and duration of hospital stay. The current mainstay of EUS-guided drainage procedures is in pancreatic and peripancreatic collections in pancreatitis. Recent technological advancements and the development of specialized stents have allowed for novel applications...
Abstract Purpose Some patients with novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-2019) present with abdominal symptoms. Abdominal manifestations of COVID on imaging are not yet established. The goal of this study was to quantify the frequency of positive findings on abdominopelvic CT in COVID-positive patients, and to identify clinical factors associated with positive findings to assist with imaging triage. ...
Abstract Accurate diagnosis, monitoring and treatment decisions in patients with chronic liver disease currently rely on biopsy as the diagnostic gold standard, and this has constrained early detection and management of diseases that are both varied and can be concurrent. Recent developments in multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) suggest real potential to bridge the diagnostic gap between non-specific blood-based biomarkers and invasive and variable histological...
Abstract Mixed epithelial and stromal tumor (MEST) and the tumor formerly known as adult cystic nephroma (ACN) are uncommon renal tumors that have historically been described as separate entities in terms of histologic and imaging findings. However, these entities share many epidemiologic, radiologic, and pathologic features. While recent surgical and pathological literature has supported classifying MEST and ACN within the same tumor family, most radiologists and radiology texts...
Abstract Objectives To evaluate whether liver and spleen magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) can measure the severity of congenital hepatic fibrosis (CHF) and portal hypertension (pHTN) in individuals with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD), and to examine correlations between liver MRE and ultrasound (US) elastography. Methods Cross-sectional...
