Intraoperative Imaging Techniques in Oncology.

Imaging-based procedures have become well integrated into the diagnosis and management of oncological patients and play a significant role in reducing morbidity and mortality rates. Here we describe the established and upcoming surgical oncological imaging techniques and their impact on cancer management.

Image-guided Ablative Procedures.

Various image-guided ablative procedures include chemical and thermal ablation techniques and irreversible electroporation. These have been used for curative intent for small tumours and palliative intent for debulking, immunogenicity and pain control. Understanding these techniques is critical to avoiding complications and achieving superior clinical outcomes. Additionally, combination with immunotherapy and chemotherapies is rapidly evolving. There are numerous opportunities in interventional radiology to advance ablation techniques and seamlessly integrate into current treatment regimens for both benign and malignant tumours.

Inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms in association with celiac axis stenosis or occlusion.

PURPOSE: To describe the pathophysiology, identification and management of inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms in association with celiac axis stenosis or occlusion has been reported. REVIEW FINDINGS: These aneurysms are thought to arise due to increased flow through the pancreaticoduodenal arcades. The arcades first enlarge, and then form focal aneurysms which may rupture. The aneurysms can be treated through endovascular techniques or by surgery, though the former is a preferred approach.

Small ureterocele-like Gartner's duct cyst associated with ipsilateral renal aplasia: a case report.

Gartner's duct cyst associated with ipsilateral renal aplasia is a rare anomaly and fewer than 40 cases have been reported in the literature. A case of Gartner's duct cyst presenting like an ureterocele on sonography, intravenous pyelography and CT are described.
