High-b-value DW-MRI allows detection of colorectal adenocarcinoma with a high sensitivity and specificity.

High-b value DWI allows the detection of pancreatic adenocarcinoma with a high sensitivity and specificity.

The aortomesenteric angle and distance significantly correlate with BMI in normal population. The mean values, we report, may be used as normal values to help reach the diagnosis of superior mesenteric artery syndrome.

In our experience, primary CT-guided percutaneous catheter drainage was successful for approximately one half of the patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis. The presence of multisystem organ failure appears to be a more important indicator of outcome than does the presence of infection.

CT is a valuable imaging technique in the diagnostic work-up of Behçet disease. CT effectively demonstrates vascular system involvement that is the main cause of mortality in these patients. CT is also effective in detecting mediastinal, pleural, and pulmonary parenchymal findings related to the disease.

CD lesions seem to be associated with motility changes and this leads to an increased lesion detection rate compared with standard-MRE imaging alone.

CEUS seems to be a reliable method to differentiate breast lesions, since it provides typical enhancement patterns. Contrast sonographic perfusion curves correlate well with MRI wash in--wash out curves.
