RESUMEN
Hepatic ductopenia is a pathologic diagnosis characterized by a decrease in the number of intrahepatic bile ducts as a consequence of various underlying etiologies. Some etiologies, such as primary sclerosing cholangitis, primary biliary cholangitis, and ischemic cholangitis, often have distinctive imaging findings. In contrast, other causes such as chronic rejection following liver transplantation, drug-induced biliary injury, infection, malignancy such as lymphoma, and graft-versus-host disease may only have ancillary or non-specific imaging findings. Thus, diagnosing ductopenia in conditions with nonspecific imaging findings requires a multidimensional approach, including clinical evaluation, serological testing, imaging, and liver histology to identify the underlying cause. These etiologies lead to impaired bile flow, resulting in cholestasis, liver dysfunction, and, ultimately, cirrhosis and liver failure if the underlying cause remains untreated or undetected. In the majority of instances, individuals diagnosed with ductopenia exhibit a positive response to treatment addressing the root cause or cessation of the causative agent. This article focuses on acquired causes of ductopenia, its clinical manifestation, histopathology, imaging diagnosis, and management.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To describe the technique and evaluate the performance of MRI-guided transgluteal in-bore-targeted biopsy of the prostate gland under local anesthesia in patients without rectal access. METHODS: Ten men (mean age, 69 (range 57-86) years) without rectal access underwent 13 MRI-guided transgluteal in-bore-targeted biopsy of the prostate gland under local anesthesia. All patients underwent mp-MRI at our institute prior to biopsy. Three patients had prior US-guided transperineal biopsy which was unsuccessful in one, negative in one, and yielded GG1 (GS6) PCa in one. Procedure time, complications, histopathology result, and subsequent management were recorded. RESULTS: Median interval between rectal surgery and presentation with elevated PSA was 12.5 years (interquartile range (IQR) 25-75, 8-36.5 years). Mean PSA was 11.9 (range, 4.8 -59.0) ng/ml and PSA density was 0.49 (0.05 -3.2) ng/ml/ml. Distribution of PI-RADS v2.0/2.1 scores of the targeted lesions were PI-RADS 5-3; PI-RADS 4-6; and PI-RADS 3-1. Mean lesion size was 1.5 cm (range, 1.0-3.6 cm). Median interval between MRI and biopsy was 5.5 months (IQR 25-75, 1.5-9 months). Mean procedure time was 47.4 min (range, 29-80 min) and the number of cores varied between 3 and 5. Of the 13 biopsies, 4 yielded clinically significant prostate cancer (csPca), with a Gleason score ≥ 7, 1 yielded insignificant prostate cancer (Gleason score = 6), 7 yielded benign prostatic tissue, and one was technically unsuccessful. 3/13 biopsies were repeat biopsies which detected csPCa in 2 out of the 3 patients. None of the patients had biopsy-related complication. Biopsy result changed management to radiation therapy with ADT in 2 patients with the rest on active surveillance. CONCLUSION: MRI-guided transgluteal in-bore-targeted biopsy of the prostate gland under local anesthesia is feasible in patients without rectal access.

Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) in women is not uncommon, and it may be difficult to identify the exact cause difficult to manage. It is major health problem for women that affects the quality of their daily lives. The etiology of chronic pelvic pain may be of gynecological or non-gynecological origin and associated with several predisposing and precipitating factors. Psychological and social factors also contribute to the syndrome of CPP and must be evaluated before managing these patients. Due to multifactorial etiology, CPP needs a multidisciplinary approach for diagnosis and management. A detailed history and physical examination supported by appropriate laboratory tests and imaging are the keys to diagnosis. In this paper, the role of imaging in diagnosis and management of CPP is reviewed. Imaging findings should be correlated with detailed clinical examination findings as there are imaging findings that may be unrelated and not the cause of CPP in a particular patient, imaging findings should be correlated with the clinical circumstances.

Anal cancer is an uncommon malignancy. In addition to squamous cell carcinoma, there are a variety of other less common malignancies and benign pathologies that may afflict the anal canal, with which abdominal radiologists should be familiar. Abdominal radiologists should be familiar with the imaging features that can help distinguish different rare anal tumors beyond squamous cell carcinoma and that can aid in diagnosis therefore help steer management. This review discusses these uncommon pathologies with a focus on their imaging appearance, management, and prognosis.

Positron emission tomography (PET) in the era of personalized medicine has a unique role in the management of oncological patients and offers several advantages over standard anatomical imaging. However, the role of molecular imaging in lower GI malignancies has historically been limited due to suboptimal anatomical evaluation on the accompanying CT, as well as significant physiological 18F-flurodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the bowel. In the last decade, technological advancements have made whole-body FDG-PET/MRI a feasible alternative to PET/CT and MRI for lower GI malignancies. PET/MRI combines the advantages of molecular imaging with excellent soft tissue contrast resolution. Hence, it constitutes a unique opportunity to improve the imaging of these cancers. FDG-PET/MRI has a potential role in initial diagnosis, assessment of local treatment response, and evaluation for metastatic disease. In this article, we review the recent literature on FDG-PET/MRI for colorectal and anal cancers; provide an example whole-body FDG-PET/MRI protocol; highlight potential interpretive pitfalls; and provide recommendations on particular clinical scenarios in which FDG-PET/MRI is likely to be most beneficial for these cancer types.

Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) has become a widely accepted noninvasive diagnostic tool in the assessment of pancreatic and biliary disease. MRCP essentially exploits extended T2 relaxation times of slow-moving fluid and delineates the outline of biliary and pancreatic ducts on T2-weighted images. In order to maximize the clinical implication of MRCP, it is of utmost importance for radiologists to optimize the acquisition technique, be aware of patient-related factors and physiologic changes than can affect its performance and interpretation. It is critical to understand the most common artifacts and pitfalls encountered during acquisition and interpretation of MRCP. We provide a general overview of the different pitfalls encountered in MRCP and pearls on how to manage them in real-world practice.

OBJECTIVE: To quantify downstream healthcare utilization and revenue associated with a self-pay bi-parametric prostate MRI (bpMRI) program. METHODS: Medical records of 592 patients who underwent bpMRI between August 2017 and March 2020 were examined for follow-up clinical activities. These include prostate biopsy, radical prostatectomy, external beam radiation therapy, brachytherapy, androgen deprivation therapy, CT Chest, Abdomen and Pelvis, PET/CT, MRI Pelvis, and Nuclear Medicine Bone Scans. The charges for each clinical activity were derived from the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule to conservatively estimate revenues. This patient population was further divided into four groups: Group A, patients who demonstrated an MRI lesion and underwent prostatectomy; Group B, patients who did not demonstrate lesion but underwent prostatectomy; Group C, patients who demonstrated lesion but did not undergo prostatectomy; and Group D, patients who neither demonstrated lesion nor underwent prostatectomy. Revenues for each group were categorized by Urology, Radiation Oncology and Radiology subspecialties. RESULTS: Conservative estimates yielded $520 of downstream revenue per patient who underwent bpMRI. Group A patients yielded 47% of total revenue ($1974 per patient). Group B patients, the smallest group, yielded $1828 per patient. Group C patients made up the largest group and grossed $398 per patient. Group D demonstrated the lowest per patient revenue of $179. Groups A and B yielded most relative revenue for Urology. Group C yielded most relative revenue for Radiation Oncology, and Group D yielded most relative revenue for Radiology. CONCLUSION: A self-pay bpMRI program has the potential to improve patient access to prostate cancer screening while remaining financial sustainable.

Sclerosing cholangitis is a chronic cholestatic disease characterized by stricturing, beading, and obliterative fibrosis of the bile ducts. Sclerosing cholangitis is considered primary (PSC) if no underlying etiology is identified or secondary (SSC) if related to another identifiable cause. In this article, we will review the clinical features, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and imaging findings of PSC and SSC, with an emphasis on features that may aid in the distinction of these entities. We will also discuss various etiologies of SSC including recurrent pyogenic cholangitis, other infectious etiologies, ischemic damage, toxic insults, and immunologic, congenital, and miscellaneous causes, highlighting the unique imaging findings and clinical context of each diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE: To review existing structured MRI reports for primary staging of rectal cancer and create a new, freely available structured report based on multidisciplinary expert opinion and literature review. METHODS: Twenty abdominal imaging experts from the Society of Abdominal Radiology (SAR)'s Disease Focused Panel (DFP) on Rectal and Anal Cancer completed a questionnaire and participated in a subsequent consensus meeting based on the RAND-UCLA Appropriateness Method. Twenty-two items were classified via a group survey as "appropriate" or "inappropriate" (defined by ≥ 70% consensus), or "needs group discussion" (defined by < 70% consensus). Certain items were also discussed with multidisciplinary team members from colorectal surgery, oncology and pathology. RESULTS: After completion of the questionnaire, 16 (72%) items required further discussion (< 70% consensus). Following group discussion, consensus was achieved for 21 (95%) of the items. Based on the consensus meeting, a revised structured report was developed. The most significant modifications included (1) Exclusion of the T2/early T3 category; (2) Replacement of the term "circumferential resection margin (CRM)" with "mesorectal fascia (MRF)"; (3) A revised definition of "mucinous content"; (4) Creation of two distinct categories for suspicious lymph nodes (LNs) and tumor deposits; and (5) Classification of suspicious extra-mesorectal LNs by anatomic location. CONCLUSION: The SAR DFP on Rectal and Anal Cancer recommends using this newly updated reporting template for primary MRI staging of rectal cancer.

There is a wide spectrum of benign and malignant mesenchymal neoplasms of the prostate, which account for less than 1% of all prostatic tumors. These include distinctive tumors that arise from the specialized prostatic stroma and site-agnostic neoplasms such as smooth muscle tumors, fibrous or myofibroblastic neoplasms, neurogenic tumors, vascular tumors, and a plethora of sarcomas. Select tumors show classic sites of origin within the prostate. While stromal tumors of uncertain malignant potential (STUMPs) commonly involve the peripheral zone at the prostate base, leiomyomas typically originate from the central prostate toward the apex. Some "prostatic" neoplasms such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors, solitary fibrous tumor (SFT), paragangliomas, and neurogenic tumors arise primarily from periprostatic soft tissues. Most mesenchymal tumors of the prostate and seminal vesicles manifest as large tumors that cause nonspecific symptoms; prostate-specific antigen level is not typically elevated. Diverse mesenchymal neoplasms demonstrate characteristic histopathologic and immunocytochemical features and variable cross-sectional imaging findings. While leiomyoma and SFT typically display low signal intensity on T2-weighted images, synovial sarcomas commonly show hemorrhage. Diagnosis is difficult because of the rarity and lack of awareness of the tumors and the significant overlap in histopathologic features. Select tumors show characteristic genetic abnormalities that allow the diagnosis to be established. For example, more than 90% of SFTs are characterized by a unique NAB2-STAT6 gene fusion, and more than 95% of synovial sarcomas are associated with a distinctive SYT-SSX chimeric transcript. Accurate diagnosis is imperative for optimal management owing to markedly different tumor biology as well as attendant therapeutic and prognostic implications. While STUMPs commonly recur, sarcomas typically charter an aggressive course with poor prognosis. Online supplemental material is available for this article. ©RSNA, 2022.

Prostate cancer represents one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality in the United States and the most common cancer among men. Treatment paradigms for the management of advanced stages of prostate cancer have continued to evolve in recent years. These advancements in the therapeutic landscape of metastatic prostate cancer and diagnostic imaging modalities have fundamentally changed the treatment of patients with prostate cancer. In this review article we provide a primer for radiologists highlighting the most recent developments in treatment options and imaging techniques utilized in the modern oncologic management of metastatic prostate cancer. We will examine current therapy options and associated toxicities with an emphasis on relevant imaging findings commonly encountered by radiologists. We also summarize the role of modalities including CT, MRI, PET, bone scintigraphy, and PET in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with metastatic prostate cancer.

BACKGROUND. The frequency of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) following negative biparametric MRI (bpMRI) and multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) has not been well investigated in direct comparative studies. OBJECTIVE. The purposes of this study were to compare the frequency of csPCa after negative prebiopsy bpMRI and mpMRI and to evaluate factors predictive of csPCa in the two cohorts. METHODS. This retrospective study included 232 men (mean age, 64.5 years) with negative bpMRI from August 2017 to March 2020 and 193 men (mean age, 69.0 years) with negative mpMRI from January 2018 to December 2018. PI-RADS category 1 or 2 was defined as negative. The study institution offered bpMRI as a low-cost self-pay option for patients without insurer coverage of prebiospy mpMRI. Patient characteristics and subsequent biopsy results were recorded. CsPCa was defined as Gleason score of 3 + 4 or greater. Multivariable regression analyses were performed to identify independent predictors of csPCa. The AUC of PSA density (PSAD) for csPCA was computed, and the diagnostic performance of PSAD was assessed at a clinically established threshold of 0.15 ng/mL2. RESULTS. Systematic biopsy was performed after negative bpMRI for 41.4% (96/232) of patients and after negative mpMRI for 30.5% (59/193) (p = .02). Among those undergoing biopsy, csPCa was present in 15.6% (15/96) in the bpMRI cohort versus 13.6% (8/59) in the mpMRI cohort (p = .69). The NPV for csPCa was 84% (81/96) for bpMRI and 86% (51/59) for mpMRI. In multivariable analyses, independent predictors of csPCa included smaller prostate volume (OR, 0.27; p < .001) and greater PSAD (OR, 3.09; p < .001). In multivariable models, bpMRI (compared with mpMRI) was not independently predictive of csPCa (p > .05). PSAD had an AUC for csPCa of 0.71 (95% CI, 0.56-0.87) in the bpMRI cohort versus 0.68 (95% CI, 0.42-0.93) in the mpMRI cohort. For detecting csPCa, a PSAD threshold of 0.15 ng/mL2 had NPV of 90% and PPV of 28%, in the bpMRI cohort versus NPV of 92% and PPV of 44% in the mpMRI cohort. CONCLUSION. The frequencies of csPCa were not significantly different at systematic biopsy performed after negative bpMRI and mpMRI examinations. PSAD had similar diagnostic utility for csPCa in the two cohorts. CLINICAL IMPACT. Either bpMRI or mpMRI, in combination with PSAD measurement, can help avoid negative prostate biopsies.

Anastomotic leaks after colorectal surgery is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Understanding the impact of anastomotic leaks and their risk factors can help the surgeon avoid any modifiable pitfalls. The diagnosis of an anastomotic leak can be elusive but can be discerned by the patient's global clinical assessment, adjunctive laboratory data and radiological assessment. The use of inflammatory markers such as C-Reactive Protein and Procalcitonin have recently gained traction as harbingers for a leak. A CT scan and/or a water soluble contrast study can further elucidate the location and severity of a leak. Further intervention is then individualized on the spectrum of simple observation with resolution or surgical intervention.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Advances in multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) combining anatomic and functional imaging can accurately identify foci of adenocarcinoma within the prostate, offering the possibility of partial gland therapy. We performed tandem prospective pilot trials to investigate the feasibility of focal prostate SBRT (f-SBRT) based on correlating diagnostic mpMRI and biopsies with confirmatory pathology in treatment planning. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with pathologic focal Gleason 6-7 disease and a corresponding PIRADS 4-5 lesion on mpMRI underwent targeted and comprehensive biopsies using MRI/ultrasound fusion under electromagnetic sensor navigation. After rigorous analysis for imaging biopsy concordance, five of 18 patients were eligible to proceed to f-SBRT. Chi-squared test was used for differences from expected outcomes, and concordance was estimated with binomial distribution theory and Wilson's method. RESULTS: Six patients had Gleason 6 and 12 had Gleason 3 + 4 disease (mean PSA: 5.8 ng/ml, range: 2.2-8.4). Absolute concordance was 43.8% (95% CI: 0.20, 0.64). Patterns of discordance included additional sites of ipsilateral disease, bilateral disease, and negative target. Five were upstaged to a new NCCN risk category necessitating treatment escalation. The five patients with concordant pathology completed three-fraction f-SBRT with sparing of the surrounding normal structures (including contralateral neurovascular bundle), with no reported grade 2+ toxicities and favorable PSA responses (mean: 41% decrease). CONCLUSIONS: On our pilot trials of f-SBRT planning using rigorous imaging and pathology concordance, image-guided confirmatory biopsies frequently revealed additional disease, suggesting the need for caution in partial-gland therapy. For truly focal disease, f-SBRT provided excellent dosimetry, minimal toxicity, and encouraging biochemical response. Clinical Trial Registration: www.clinicaltrials.gov, NCT02681614; NCT02163317.
RESUMEN
The Pelvic Floor Disorders Consortium (PFDC) is a multidisciplinary organization of colorectal surgeons, urogynecologists, urologists, gynecologists, gastroenterologists, radiologists, physiotherapists, and other advanced care practitioners. Specialists from these fields are all dedicated to the diagnosis and management of patients with pelvic floor conditions, but they approach, evaluate, and treat such patients with their own unique perspectives given the differences in their respective training. The PFDC was formed to bridge gaps and enable collaboration between these specialties. The goal of the PFDC is to develop and evaluate educational programs, create clinical guidelines and algorithms, and promote high quality of care in this unique patient population. The recommendations included in this article represent the work of the PFDC Working Group on Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Pelvic Floor Disorders (members listed alphabetically in Table 1). The objective was to generate inclusive, rather than prescriptive, guidance for all practitioners, irrespective of discipline, involved in the evaluation and treatment of patients with pelvic floor disorders.

Multi-modality imaging constitutes a foundation of precision medicine, especially in oncology where reliable and rapid imaging techniques are needed in order to insure adequate diagnosis and treatment. In cervical cancer, precision oncology requires the acquisition of 18F-labeled 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance (MR), and computed tomography (CT) images. Thereafter, images are co-registered to derive electron density attributes required for FDG-PET attenuation correction and radiation therapy planning. Nevertheless, this traditional approach is subject to MR-CT registration defects, expands treatment expenses, and increases the patient's radiation exposure. To overcome these disadvantages, we propose a new framework for cross-modality image synthesis which we apply on MR-CT image translation for cervical cancer diagnosis and treatment. The framework is based on a conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN) and illustrates a novel tactic that addresses, simplistically but efficiently, the paradigm of vanishing gradient vs. feature extraction in deep learning. Its contributions are summarized as follows: 1) The approach -termed sU-cGAN-uses, for the first time, a shallow U-Net (sU-Net) with an encoder/decoder depth of 2 as generator; 2) sU-cGAN's input is the same MR sequence that is used for radiological diagnosis, i.e. T2-weighted, Turbo Spin Echo Single Shot (TSE-SSH) MR images; 3) Despite limited training data and a single input channel approach, sU-cGAN outperforms other state of the art deep learning methods and enables accurate synthetic CT (sCT) generation. In conclusion, the suggested framework should be studied further in the clinical settings. Moreover, the sU-Net model is worth exploring in other computer vision tasks.
