Background/Objectives : This study aimed to develop a reliable scoring system combining clinical and radiological parameters to distinguish atypical lipomatous tumours (ALTs) from lipomas, improving diagnostic accuracy and reducing expensive molecular pathology testing. Methods : A retrospective analysis…
With the increasing use of next-generation sequencing, highly effective targeted therapies have been emerging as treatment options for several cancer types. Recurrent gene-fusions have been recognized in sarcomas; however, options for targeted therapy remain scarce. Here, we describe a case of a sarcoma,…
Ein 79-jähriger Patient wird aufgrund einer rezidivierenden Serratia-marcescens- Bakteriämie stationär behandelt. Es konnten eine Infektion der Elektroden des implantierbaren Kardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) mit septischen pulmonalen Embolien und eine Spondylodiszitis diagnostiziert werden. Zusätzlich…
Purpose: Therapy decision for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) is highly dependent on disease monitoring based on radiological reports. The purpose of the study was to compare non-standardized, common practice free text reporting (FTR) on disease response with reporting based on response…
Purpose: To assess effectiveness of pain management with superior hypogastric plexus block (SHPB) compared to epidural anesthesia (EDA) in women requiring uterine artery embolization (UAE). Materials and Methods: In this retrospective, single-center, non-randomized trial 79 women with symptomatic uterine…
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the effect of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) on radiation exposure, procedure time, and contrast media (CM) use in prostatic artery embolization (PAE). Materials and Methods Seventy-eight patients were enrolled in this retrospective, single-center study. All patients…
Abstract Background Practical courses in undergraduate medical training often lack a didactic concept. Active participation and learning success largely depend on chance. This study was initiated to evaluate a novel concept of structured work-based learning (WBL) in the course of students’ half-day radiology…
Background: It is essential to avoid admission of patients with undetected corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) to hospitals’ general wards. Even repeated negative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results do not rule-out COVID-19 with certainty. The study aimed to evaluate a rule-out…
Abstract Purpose To determine whether the use of a magnetic tracking and electrocardiography-guided catheter tip confirmation system (TCS) is safe and noninferior to fluoroscopy concerning positioning accuracy of a peripheral inserted central catheter (PICC). Methods In this prospective, randomized,…
Abstract Purpose To assess radiation exposure in men undergoing prostate artery embolization (PAE) for the treatment for symptomatic, benign prostatic hyperplasia depending on growing experience of interventional radiologists over a 4-year period. Methods A total of 250 consecutive patients underwent…
Background In hospitals, it is crucial to rule out coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) timely and reliably. Artificial intelligence (AI) provides sufficient accuracy to identify chest computed tomography (CT) scans with signs of COVID-19. Purpose To compare the diagnostic accuracy of radiologists with…
