RESUMO

The Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) is an evidence-based clinical support system for ovarian and adnexal lesion assessment in women of average risk. The system has both US and MRI components with separate but complementary lexicons and assessment categories to assign the risk of malignancy. US is an appropriate initial imaging modality, and O-RADS US can accurately help to characterize most adnexal lesions. MRI is a valuable adjunct imaging tool to US, and O-RADS MRI can help to both confirm a benign diagnosis and accurately stratify lesions that are at risk for malignancy. This article will review the O-RADS US and MRI systems, highlight their similarities and differences, and provide an overview of the interplay between the systems. When used together, the O-RADS US and MRI systems can help to accurately diagnose benign lesions, assess the risk of malignancy in lesions suspicious for malignancy, and triage patients for optimal management.

RESUMO

A growing number of treatments for genitourinary diseases can result in various iatrogenic complications. Multimodality imaging in the post-procedural setting is essential for early and accurate diagnosis to limit morbidity and mortality. We review common and uncommon treatment-induced pathologies affecting the genitourinary system via a case-based approach. We illustrate notable complications affecting the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra induced by percutaneous procedures, external beam radiation, immunotherapy, laparoscopic/robotic pelvic surgery, and intravesicular BCG. Finally, we provide guidance on optimal imaging techniques for diagnosis and highlight the role of image-guided interventions for mitigation of complications.

RESUMO

Cervical cancer is a common gynecological malignancy worldwide. Cervical cancer is staged based on the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) classification system, which was revised in 2018 to incorporate radiologic and pathologic data. Imaging plays an important role in pretreatment assessment including initial staging and treatment response assessment of cervical cancer. Accurate determination of tumor size, local extension, and nodal and distant metastases is important for treatment selection and for prognostication. Although local recurrence can be diagnosed by physical examination, imaging plays a critical role in detection and follow-up of local and distant recurrence and subsequent treatment selection. The American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria are evidence-based guidelines for specific clinical conditions that are reviewed annually by a multidisciplinary expert panel. The guideline development and revision process support the systematic analysis of the medical literature from peer reviewed journals. Established methodology principles such as Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation or GRADE are adapted to evaluate the evidence. The RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method User Manual provides the methodology to determine the appropriateness of imaging and treatment procedures for specific clinical scenarios. In those instances where peer reviewed literature is lacking or equivocal, experts may be the primary evidentiary source available to formulate a recommendation.

RESUMO

SUMMARY: Autologous reconstruction accounts for approximately 20% of all breast reconstruction. In cases of unilateral reconstruction, contralateral breast augmentation using autologous tissue can be performed to improve symmetry and is a viable option for patients interested in having more volume relative to their current size without the use of implants. CT scans have been used for preoperative planning for autologous reconstruction to evaluate available perforators. In this study, we report our experience using CT angiography for preoperative volumetric assessment for autologous contralateral breast augmentation in the setting of unilateral autologous breast reconstruction. Twelve patients underwent autologous augmentation during the study period. The average reconstruction flap weight was 561.2±253.6 grams, while the average augmentation flap weight was 218.0±133.7 grams. No patients experienced flap loss and we demonstrate that the predicted volumes for the augmented and reconstructed breasts were comparable to the actual respective flap volumes. Additionally, post-operative patient-reported outcome measures demonstrate high levels of satisfaction across multiple BREAST-Q subscales. This study demonstrates the utility of using CT angiography to estimate reconstructive volumes to help preoperative planning and achieve predictable postoperative breast volumes. It also supports that contralateral autologous augmentation is a good option for patients who would like to avoid implants and are interested in a small to moderate increase in size.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is often administered for high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC) prior to cytoreductive surgery. We evaluated treatment response by CT (simplified peritoneal carcinomatosis index [S-PCI]), pathology (chemotherapy response score [CRS]), laboratory markers (serum CA-125), and surgical outcomes, to identify predictors of disease-free survival. METHODS: For this retrospective, HIPAA-compliant, IRB-approved study, we identified 396 women with HGSC receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy between 2010 and 2019. Two hundred and ninety-nine patients were excluded (surgery not performed; imaging/pathology unavailable). Pre- and post-treatment abdominopelvic CTs were assigned CT S-PCI scores 0-24 (higher score indicating more tumor). Specimens were assigned CRS of 1-3 (minimal to complete response). Clinical data were obtained via chart review. Univariate, multivariate, and survival analyses were performed. RESULTS: Ninety-seven women were studied, with mean age of 65 years ± 10. Interreader agreement was good to excellent for CT S-PCI scores (ICC 0.64-0.77). Despite a significant decrease in CT S-PCI scores after treatment (p < 0.001), mean decrease in CT S-PCI did not differ significantly among CRS categories (p = 0.20) or between patients who were optimally versus suboptimally debulked (p = 0.29). In a survival analysis, lower CRS (more viable tumor) was associated with shorter time to progression (p < 0.001). A joint Cox proportional-hazard models showed that only residual pathologic disease (CRS 1/2) (HR 4.19; p < 0.001) and change in CA-125 (HR 1.79; p = 0.01) predicted progression. CONCLUSION: HGSC response to neoadjuvant therapy by CT S-PCI did not predict pathologic CRS score, optimal debulking, or progression, revealing discordance between imaging, pathologic, biochemical, and surgical assessments of tumor response.

RESUMO

In 2021, the American College of Radiology (ACR) Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) MRI Committee developed a risk stratification system and lexicon for assessing adnexal lesions using MRI. Like the BI-RADS classification, O-RADS MRI provides a standardized language for communication between radiologists and clinicians. It is essential for radiologists to be familiar with the O-RADS algorithmic approach to avoid misclassifications. Training, like that offered by International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA), is essential to ensure accurate and consistent application of the O-RADS MRI system. Tools such as the O-RADS MRI calculator aim to ensure an algorithmic approach. This review highlights the key teaching points, pearls, and pitfalls when using the O-RADS MRI risk stratification system.Critical relevance statement This article highlights the pearls and pitfalls of using the O-RADS MRI scoring system in clinical practice.Key points• Solid tissue is described as displaying post- contrast enhancement.• Endosalpingeal folds, fimbriated end of the tube, smooth wall, or septa are not solid tissue.• Low-risk TIC has no shoulder or plateau. An intermediate-risk TIC has a shoulder and plateau, though the shoulder is less steep compared to outer myometrium.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Gold-silica nanoshell therapy [AuroShells with subsequent focal laser therapy (AuroLase)] is an emerging targeted treatment modality for prostate cancer. We reviewed pre- and post-treatment unenhanced CT imaging to assess for retained gold-silica nanoshells in the abdomen and pelvis. METHODS: This single-institution retrospective study identified patients in the AuroLase pilot who underwent pre- and post-treatment unenhanced abdominopelvic CT. The attenuation, before and after gold-silica nanoshell administration, of the liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, prostate, blood pool, paraspinal musculature, and abnormal lymph nodes were manually measured by two readers. After inter-reader agreement was calculated using intraclass correlation (ICC), a permutation test was used to assess pre- and post-therapy attenuation differences. RESULTS: Four patients met the inclusion criteria. Mean age was 72.3 ± 5.9 years. Median time interval between pre-treatment CT and treatment, and between treatment and post-treatment CT, was 232 days and 236.5 days, respectively. The two readers' attenuation measurements had very high agreement (ICC = 0.99, p < 0.001). The highest differences in organ attenuation between pre- and post-therapy scans were seen in all four patients in the liver and spleen (liver increased by an average of 28.9 HU, p = 0.010; spleen increased by an average of 63.7 HU, p = 0.012). A single measured lymph node increased by an average of 58.9 HU. In the remainder of the measured sites, the change in attenuation from pre- to post-therapy scans ranged from -0.1 to 3.8 HU (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Increased attenuation of liver and spleen at CT can be an expected finding in patients who have received gold-silica nanoshell therapy.
