Abstract

Significant developments in video imaging have taken place but further progress is needed to provide images with the right characteristics for optimal interpretation by the operator. The nature and location of the image display in relation to the surgeon and operating field are also important in facilitating image-guided surgery/interventions, and several new technologies are being explored. In the diagnostic field, virtual reality surface anatomical and internal luminal rendering has opened a new chapter in diagnosis, screening, and treatment planning, the potential of which is only just being realized.

Imaging tumour angiogenesis.

The development of neovasculature via angiogenesis is a vital component of many normal physiological processes and a number of disease states. Neovascularisation is critical for the growth of malignant tumours and for the development and survival of metastases. Recently, the potential of non-invasive imaging for the functional characterisation of neovasculature has become realised. In this review we describe the process of tumour angiogenesis for radiologists and present a summary of the most available computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging techniques that can depict the functional vascular status of human tumours.

Lymphoepithelial cyst of the pancreas: case report with special reference to imaging--pathologic correlation.

We report a case of resected lymphoepithelial cyst of the pancreas with special reference to the imaging-pathologic correlation. Visualization of a multilocular cystic nature with internal heterogeneous hyperechogenicity on ultrasound, hyperdensity on precontrast computed tomography, and granular hypointensity on T2-weighted image due to abundant internal keratin substances were considered to be keys to the differential diagnosis from other cystic lesions of the pancreas.

[Soft sarcoma tissue of extremities: medical imagery in post-therapeutic follow-up].

After treatment of primary soft tissue sarcoma, a third of patients will develop local or distant (lung in 90% of cases) recurrence. For an individual patient, the issue of cancer recurrence is a binary event. However, when developing surveillance strategies for large groups of patients, knowledge of the risks (tumor biology, natural history of the disease), the benefits (potential efficacy of salvage therapy) and diagnosis test performances is necessary to formulate a rationale and resource effective follow-up algorithm.
