Summary: The perihepatic space is commonly involved in various diseases, including intrahepatic lesions extending to the liver capsule and disease conditions from adjacent organs. The dissemination of peritoneal processes can also affect this space. MRI is valuable in assessing and diagnosing infectious, tumor-related, and other conditions in the perihepatic area compared to CT.

Summary: Quantifying fat within skeletal muscle using DECT is feasible and reliable, with excellent correlations between DECT-FF and MR-FF, DECT VNC HU and MR-FF, and DECT-FF and DECT VNC HU. DECT muscle analysis offers a new approach to determine muscle quality, crucial for diagnosing and monitoring sarcopenia as a comorbidity associated with poor clinical outcomes.

Summary: The study results indicate that pretransfer CT and repeat posttransfer CT are frequent and subject to significant practice variation in trauma transfers. Additionally, pretransfer CT is associated with increased time to transfer. These findings suggest potential opportunities to reduce low-value imaging for trauma transfers.

Summary: The relationship between serum biomarker concentration and lesion type and volume in TBI is primarily determined by the severity of injury and intracranial disease burden, rather than the pathoanatomical type of injury.

Summary: This study aimed to validate two computed tomography (CT) scoring systems for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and compare their prognostic performance to the Marshall CT classification and a clinical model. The results showed that the Helsinki CT score outperformed the NIRIS in predicting 6-month mortality for TBI patients treated in the ICU. However, the CT models only offered moderate accuracy for outcome prediction, with clinical variables outweighing CT-based predictors in terms of predictive performance.

Summary: Pelvic ring fractures are common in high-energy blunt trauma, especially in traffic accidents. Computed tomography is the gold standard technique for evaluating these injuries, as it can accurately identify fractures, bleeding, and other injuries. A classification criterion is necessary to guide the multidisciplinary management, and the Young and Burgess classification is an accurate method.

Summary: A study investigated whether the time period preceding initial CT scan affects mortality in patients with TBI. Results showed that TBI patients with a longer time span from trauma to first CT were more severely injured, with worse prognosis. However, the duration until the CT scan was obtained showed no significant impact on mortality.

Summary: The objective of this study was to assess the reliability and accuracy of CT scan results in detecting trauma for forensic purposes. The study found a high correlation between CT scan results and autopsy findings in cases of traumatic deaths, although some discrepancies were still observed.

Summary: Traumatic spinal injuries have long-term negative impacts and can cause death. Timely diagnosis and proper management of mechanical instability and spinal cord injury are crucial for preventing further neurological deterioration. This review examines the role of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing, managing, and predicting the outcome of spinal cord injury, including advancements such as multidetector CT (MDCT), dual energy CT (DECT), diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), diffusion tractography (DTI), functional MRI (fMRI), and perfusion MRI.

Summary: This study measured the acoustic attenuation in human skulls at different frequencies, using CT and MR images to estimate various parameters in each sample. A model was developed to describe the attenuation as a function of frequency and individual imaging parameters.

Summary: Prostate MR imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnostic pathway of prostate cancer. Adherence to technical parameters alone is not enough to ensure high-quality imaging. AI solutions can enhance image quality and potentially monitor the imaging process. The PI-QUAL system aims to provide an objective assessment of image quality but requires further validation for clinical effectiveness.

Summary: PI-RADSv2.1 made important modifications for the assessment of category 3 lesions, with a small impact. The combination of PSAD is the most likely approach to aid in clinical decision making for PI-RADS 3 category. Commercially available fluidic markers are being used to supplement this, but further evidence is needed to improve the accuracy of PI-RADS alone in detecting csPCa.

Summary: mpMR imaging is a valuable tool for diagnosing and staging prostate cancer, often superior to traditional methods. Standardized protocols aid in evaluating prostate mpMR imaging. Radiologists need to thoroughly study prostate imaging and be aware of potential pitfalls. Additional sequences can improve tumor detection sensitivity. This study emphasizes the importance of recognizing factors that complicate prostate MR imaging interpretation.
