Perivascular spaces and where to find them – MR imaging and evaluation methods
Seehafer S, Larsen N, Aludin S et al.
Perivascular spaces, defined as the fluid-filled spaces surrounding the small penetrating cerebral vessels, were first described over 150 years ago. They gained growing scientific interest especially with the postulation of the so-called glymphatic system and their possible role in neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory diseases. S. Seehafer et al. have investigated the morphological MRI characteristics in different sequences. In addition, visual analysis and semi or fully automated segmentation methods are briefly discussed.
Fischbach R, Peller M, Perez D, et al.
Partial pancreatic resections are among the most complex surgical procedures in visceral tumor medicine and are associated with a high postoperative morbidity with a complication rate of 40–50 % of patients even in specialized centers. CT is the best method for visualizing postoperative anatomy and is used for early detection of complications. Radiologists therefore have an important role to play in detecting possible postoperative complications. Roman Fischbach and colleagues describe typical surgical resection procedures and the resulting postoperative anatomy, typical normal postoperative findings, common postoperative complications, and radiological findings.
Body composition analysis by radiological imaging – methods, applications, and prospects
Linder N, Denecke T, Busse H.
Radiological imaging methods are increasingly used to determine body composition (BC), in particular for oncological and metabolic problems. the quantitative assessment of tissue composition in the human body (body composition, BC) using radiological methods. Nicolas Linder, Timm Denecke und Harald Busse present the different methods and definitions in this field to a radiological readership in order to facilitate application and dissemination of BC methods.
