Images in a 56-year-old male patient with gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease.(A) Coronal contrast-enhanced CT image shows diffuse small bowel wall thickening, mucosal hyperenhancement, and vasa recta engorgement.(B) Coronal cinematic rendering captures a large volume of tissue, better visualizing the diffusely increased mesenteric vascularity.(C) Axial cinematic rendering shows the wall thickening of the colon and adjacent dilated vessels (arrowhead). Small ulcerations can be seen in the mucosal layer of the colon.A 56-year-old male patient developed large-volume blood-tinged stool, nausea, and vomiting 3 months after peripheral blood stem cell transplant for chronic myelogenous leukemia. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy were performed, and biopsies of the duodenum and sigmoid colon showed apoptotic bodies and glandular dropout consistent with graftversus-host disease …

PurposeAccurate staging of disease is vital in determining appropriate care for patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). It has been shown that the quality of scans and the experience of a radiologist can impact computed tomography (CT) based assessment of disease. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the impact of the rereading of outside hospital (OH) CT by an expert radiologist and a repeat pancreatic protocol CT (PPCT) on staging of disease.MethodsPatients evaluated at the our institute's pancreatic multidisciplinary clinic (2006 to 2014) with OH scan and repeat PPCT performed within 30 days were included. In-house radiologists staged disease using OH scans and repeat PPCT, and factors associated with misstaging were determined.ResultsThe study included 100 patients, with a median time between OH scan and PPCT of 19 days (IQR: 13 – 23 days.) Stage migration was …

Liposarcomas are infrequent malignant tumors of mesenchymal origin most commonly seen in the extremities. Although infrequent, these can develop as primary lesions in the soft tissue of the kidney, making them difficult to diagnose through imaging modalities alone. Primary renal liposarcomas are associated with poor prognoses, increasing the importance of timely and accurate diagnosis. In extremely rare instances, the tumor can arise directly from the fat in the epicenter of the kidney, disguised as an angiomyolipoma. In this article, we report the case of a 54-year-old female who was diagnosed with a well-differentiated liposarcoma of the kidney and underwent radical nephrectomy. Our objective is to evaluate unique radiological imaging findings and correlate with histopathological analysis to optimize diagnosis

Pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasias (PanINs) are the most common precursors of pancreatic cancer, but their small size and inaccessibility in humans make them challenging to study. Critically, the number, dimensions and connectivity of human PanINs remain largely unknown, precluding important insights into early cancer development. Here, we provide a microanatomical survey of human PanINs by analysing 46 large samples of grossly normal human pancreas with a machine-learning pipeline for quantitative 3D histological reconstruction at single-cell resolution. To elucidate genetic relationships between and within PanINs, we developed a workflow in which 3D modelling guides multi-region microdissection and targeted and whole-exome sequencing. From these samples, we calculated a mean burden of 13 PanINs per cm3 and extrapolated that the normal intact adult pancreas harbours hundreds of …

Cinematic rendering is a recently developed photorealistic display technique for standard volumetric data sets. It has broad-reaching applications in cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, abdominopelvic, and thoracic imaging. It has been used for surgical planning and has emerging use in educational settings. We review the logistics of performing this post-processing step and its integration into existing workflow.

Uncertainty regarding the future of radiologists is largely driven by the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI). If AI succeeds, will radiologists continue to monopolize imaging services? As AI accuracy progresses with alacrity, radiology reads will be excellent. Some articles show that AI can make non-radiologists experts. However, eminent figures within AI development have expressed concerns over its possible adverse uses. Bad actors, not bad AI, may account for a future in which AI is not as successful as we might hope and, as some fear, even pernicious. More relevant to current predictions over the course of AI in medicine, and radiology in particular, is how the evolution of AI is often seen in a vacuum. We cannot predict the future with certainty. But as we contemplate the potential impact of AI in radiology, we should remember that radiology does not exist in a vacuum; while AI is changing, so is everything else …

Gastrointestinal basidiobolomycosis is an unusual fungal infection caused by Basidiobolus ranarum, a saprophytic fungus primarily found in soil and decaying vegetables. Basidiobolomycosis typically presents as a chronic subcutaneous swelling and rarely infects the gastrointestinal tract. Thus, the infrequency of gastrointestinal infections, along with nonspecific clinical symptoms, often results in misdiagnosed cases and delays in treatment. In this article, we report the case of a 68-year-old male with gastrointestinal basidiobolomycosis masquerading as metastatic cancer. We focus on the use of radiological imaging modalities and histopathological analysis to optimize the diagnosis and treatment of this rare gastrointestinal infection.
