With further improvements in multislice CT, enabling now the combination of lung and colon imaging within one breathhold with automated dose optimization, MR colonography has almost been given up. But similar to angiography, we are optimistic that MR can be compatible to CT in colonography and report in this article on the current status and perspective of MR colonography.

The purpose of this case report is to describe the CT imaging features of pulmonary toxicity from gemcitabine, a relatively new chemotherapeutic agent, in three patients. CT features of gemcitabine pulmonary toxicity include ground glass opacity (n = 3), thickened septal lines (n = 3), and reticular opacities (n = 3). Distribution is diffuse and bilateral, and may be symmetric (n = 2) or asymmetric (n = 1). Clinical symptoms and imaging findings are potentially reversible with steroid therapy.
