This review describes the main features of central airway pathology and compares the imaging findings, especially the ones of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and virtual bronchoscopy, with those in pathology and direct bronchoscopy, in order to propose a schematic and practical approach to establish diagnoses.
MRI is an essential part of the comprehensive evaluation of left ventricular (LV) thickening. This article reviews not only the aetiologies and pathophysiology of LV thickening, but also illustrates the importance of MRI in its evaluation.
It is important to recognise non-malignant oesophageal diseases; however, they can easily go unnoticed or be misdiagnosed radiologically. With this paper, the authors aim to cover the important clinical features and imaging findings of non-malignant pathology of the oesophagus.
This pictorial essay describes the anatomy and pathology of the hippocampus, which—although it is a small but complex structure in the brain—plays an important role in spatial and episodic memory. The article explains the best imaging strategy for the evaluation of the hippocampus and describes the imaging appearance of the most common anatomic variants and pathologic conditions that can affect the hippocampus.
This study describes neoplastic and non-neoplastic entities involving the perinephric space and describes and their key imaging characteristics, often allowing to narrow the likely diagnosis.
This review article exemplifies simple and systematic guidelines for imaging assessment of plantar fascia disorders, with a focus on key findings detectable on plain radiography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
