Abstract Purpose Recent studies have demonstrated that obesity is significantly associated with increased disease severity, hospitalizations and mortality in COVID-19, with a potential role in the pathogenesis and prevalence in the new pandemic. The association with hepatic steatosis, however, a condition closely related to obesity within the spectrum of systemic metabolic dysfunctions, remains to be elucidated. We aimed to evaluate...

Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in the treatment of patients with unresectable colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLM) who had failed systemic chemotherapy. In addition, the role of TACE in the treatment of CRCLM is also worth discussing. Methods ...

Abstract The high contrast resolution provided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compared to all other modalities allows the interpreting radiologist to make a specific diagnosis for many common and uncommon findings. In some cases, the diagnosis can be so certain that there is no differential diagnosis. In this article, we review the most classically recognized findings when interpreting MRI of the pelvis including the following: Ovaries: Simple cyst, hemorrhagic cyst, corpus...

Abstract Purpose The imaging features of serous cystadenomas (SCAs) overlap with those of mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs) and branch duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (BD-IPMNs), and an accurate preoperative diagnosis is important for clinical treatment due to their different biological behaviors. The aim of this study was to provide a computed tomographic (CT) feature for the diagnosis of SCAs and estimate whether the...
