Incidental detection on imaging performed during the work-up via MDTs of patients with kidney cancer – lucky find or poisoned chalice?

Common incidental findings from imaging done for kidney cancer patients include renal cysts, lung nodules, liver cysts and gallstones. 2 out of 555 patients had an isolated malignancy of lung cancer and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia found. Through this research, patients with incidental findings and no incidental findings were found to have no difference in their median number of MDT discussions (1) and median time to treatment (35 days).

Renal Metastasis – all over the place

Recognizing the metastatic potential of RCC and leveraging timely imaging for evaluation is paramount for informed clinical decisions, appropriate treatment and outcomes. Thereby, it is critical that radiologists be aware of potential sites of RCC metastasis, aiding its distinction from primary lesions.

The Role of Prophylactic Antibiotics in Transperineal Prostate Biopsy

The incidence of post-transperineal prostate biopsy complications, specifically infection, remains low despite the omission of pre-procedural antibiotics and is comparable to national standards. The transperineal biopsy approach continues to offer a safe way of investigating prostate cancer, whilst the reduction in antibiotic usage may lead to significant improvements in antibiotic stewardship and healthcare savings.

Pelvic and extra-pelvic endometriosis: a review of indications, techniques and MRI features.

Endometriosis is a chronic disease presenting with a wide range of symptoms and manifestations. Imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of this disease, and, in particular, MRI allows an accurate evaluation of the different features of endometriosis.

Pelvic venous congestion syndrome (PVCS) in women: a neglected pathology

Pelvic venous congestion syndrome (PVCS) is a common and still overlooked cause of chronic pelvic pain (CPP). Other symptoms, yet aspecific, of PVCS include dyspareunia, dysmenorrhea, and urinary urgency. The etiology of PVCS includes, to name a few, pelvic venous insufficiency (PVI), retro-aortic left vein, Nutcracker syndrome and May-Thurner syndrome. Currently, there is no consensus on diagnostic algorithms, nor the treatment management of PVCS. Ultrasonography (US) is considered the first line imaging study; the criteria proposed by Coakley can be used for its diagnosis with Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance (MR) with time resolved imaging (TRI). Venography remains the gold standard but invasive and normally reserved for patients who are selected for interventional treatment.
