..Radiologists need to be familiar with the normal anatomic findings after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding surgery and with the imaging findings of postoperative complications...

..In this article, we discuss the imaging findings relating to bariatric procedures, focusing on the role of computed tomography (CT) in the evaluation of normal postoperative anatomy and gastrointestinal complications...

..Cystic tumors of the pancreas are rare, accounting for 10% of pancreatic cysts and 1% of all pancreatic tumors; surgery is dictated by their malignant potential...

..We sought a correlation between preoperative clinico-radiological findings and outcome...

..Radiologists' experience and expertise have an important impact on their performance...

..We review the current state of VNE imaging and discuss some challenges to its future application...

..Further study of decreased-purgation CTC and standardization of terminology are needed...

..The purpose of this study was to describe and evaluate the sonographic and color Doppler features of tumorlike biliary and venous changes in patients with cavernous transformation of the portal vein (CTPV)...

..Computed tomographio colonography, also known as virtual colonoscopy, is a rapid, non-invasive imaging technique to detect colorectal masses and polyps that is becoming increasingly popular...

..Pancreatic incidentaloma (PI) is an increasingly common diagnosis that has received little attention. We characterized these tumors and compared them with symptomatic pancreatic tumors (nonincidentaloma [NI])...

..This is the reason for the multiple pathologic conditions and pseudolesions that occur at the hepatic capsular and subcapsular regions...

..Adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation is becoming an alternative to cadaveric transplantation in urgent and elective settings. Donor selection crucially affects donor safety and recipient outcome...

..To evaluate abdominal and pelvic image characteristics and artifacts on virtual nonenhanced (VNE) images generated from contrast-enhanced dual-energy multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) studies...

..To define the incidence, clinical presentation, radiologic findings and principles of diagnosis, and management of acute graft pancreatitis occurring more than 3 months after transplantation...

..Each method of assessing diagnostic accuracy has strengths and weaknesses that should be carefully considered before it is implemented in a particular departmental or institutional setting...

..To describe the post-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) non-contrast-enhanced computed tomography (NCCT) findings and assessed their clinical significance. NCCT evaluates stone clearance after PNL and also reveals procedure-related changes...

..These findings persisted over time. It would be interesting to speculate that increased bone density around an expandable peg provides better fracture stabilization and probably faster healing than a dynamic hip screw...

..We report a case of a paraduodenal hernia diagnosed correctly with abdominal computed tomography that was confirmed at surgery and review the clinical and imaging findings of these hernias...

..CT colonography, also known as virtual colonoscopy, is a relatively new technique that is becoming increasingly popular. The technical aspects, indications, advantages and diagnostic performance of this technique are briefly reviewed...

..On sonography, a diffusely hypoechoic spleen and a mass at the splenic hilum representing the torsed splenic pedicle were shown. The splenic hilar mass correlates with the CT "whirl" sign indicative of torsion...

..CONCLUSION: Upper GI complications that required intervention occurred in 9.5% of patients. CT and upper GI series can depict most major complications...

..CONCLUSION: CT allows accurate differentiation of the most common types of liver tumors with central scars, including FNH, fibrolamellar HCC, and large hemangioma...

..Radiologists should be aware of this tumor type so that the biopsy is performed properly to allow sufficient tissue sampling...

..3% for autopsy, 90.3% for postmortem CT, P = not significant). Postmortem CT and autopsy have distinct performance profiles, and although the first cannot replace the latter it is a useful complementary examination...

..Overt injuries diagnosed during surgery are usually immediately treated by splenectomy without imaging. This review focuses on missed splenic injuries that are diagnosed on imaging following surgery or an invasive procedure...
