“…The imaging recommendations are given in ►Table 7. [34][35][36] Follow-Up and Surveillance Women who were exposed to thoracic irradiation as an adolescent should undergo routine follow-up screening (with adjunctive breast MRI) sooner than usually recommended. Mammographic screening is recommended annually by the Society of Breast Imaging, ACR, and NCCN beginning 8 to 10 years after the radiation exposure.…”

Precision medicine is becoming increasingly common in oncology, with treatments tailored to individual patients and cancer. By integrating these underlying concepts of health care, chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be tailored to improve safety and efficacy. On the other hand, oncology treatment regimens may result in local and systemic changes and complications depending on the type of treatment. For the proper and prompt management of cancer patients, it is essential to interpret this posttreatment imaging correctly. This article aims at guiding treating physicians to be able to distinguish complications from expected posttreatment changes.

“…5,29 Th e American College of Radiology (ACR) provides specifi c criteria to consider prior to ordering imaging to ensure patient appropriateness. 29 Routine imaging for LBP is not recommended unless there has been overt trauma with concern for fracture/dislocation or there are signs and symptoms of more serious diseases such as cancer, infection, or other conditions (see Imaging for serious pathology presenting as acute LBP). 5,29,30 Recent imaging updates suggest routine imaging is not warranted and may reveal abnormalities unrelated to presenting symptoms, further complicating the clinical picture.…”

“…Significant radiology findings of disc degeneration, facet hypertrophy, and disc protrusion were associated with the cause of Low Back Pain (LBP) (Hutchins TA et al, 2021). Low back pain is the main cause of work related disorders as well as disability, especially in the productive age population (Wu A et al, 2020).…”

This study aims to provide the latest information regarding the accuracy of contrast and non-contrast 1.5 Tesla MRI in the diagnosis of lumbar Herniated Nucleus Pulposus (HNP) compared with surgical findings. We included studies with subjects diagnosed with lumbar HNP due to degenerative processes, preoperative 1.5 Tesla contrast, and non-contrast MRI and described the number of findings of MRI diagnostic tests (index test) on the actual conditions found during surgery (reference standard). We searched literature from 5 databases: ProQuest, Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Biomed Central, and ScienceDirect. The sensitivity and specificity of contrast and non-contrast 1.5 Tesla MRI ranged between 64-95% and 55-100% (95% CI) with the area under the curve above the threshold on the ROC curve. Two studies compared the accuracy of MRI and Computed Tomography (CT) myelography with a wider ROC curve on CT myelography than on MRI. The ROC curve which has a wide area under the curve above the threshold depicts the relationship between sensitivity and specificity, shows that contrast non-contrast 1.5 Tesla MRI has a good accuracy in HNP diagnostic.
