Psychometric Properties of the Greek Version of the Claustrophobia Questionnaire.

: Claustrophobia is defined as the fear of enclosed spaces, and it is a rather common specific phobia. Although the Claustrophobia Questionnaire (CLQ) is a valid questionnaire to measure claustrophobia, there have been no studies validating this tool in Greek. Thus, our aim was to translate and validate the CLQ in Greek.

The Role of Radiomic Analysis and Different Machine Learning Models in Prostate Cancer Diagnosis.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common malignancy in men. Precise grading is crucial for the effective treatment approaches of PCa. Machine learning (ML) applied to biparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (bpMRI) radiomics holds promise for improving PCa diagnosis and prognosis.

Brain imaging findings in lipoid proteinosis (Urbach-Wiethe disease).

We present neuroimaging and skin findings of Urbach-Wiethe disease (lipoid proteinosis) in 2 adult patients. Lipoid proteinosis is a rare, autosomal recessive disease that primarily affects the skin, the upper respiratory tract, and the central nervous system (CNS). The first patient (a 37-year-old female) was referred due to the new onset of bilateral temporal lobe epilepsy.

Percutaneous microwave ablation of hepatic tumors: is there an impact of cirrhotic liver parenchyma upon the volume and short-term assessment of the ablation zone?

Objective: To retrospectively compare and evaluate ablation zone volume and its reduction from baseline to 1 month follow-up post-percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) between healthy and cirrhotic liver parenchyma.

Methods: Institutional database research identified 84 patients (118 hepatic tumors) who underwent percutaneous MWA with the same system. Caudal-right lobe ratio was applied to distinguish cirrhotic ( = 51) and healthy ( = 67) group; ITK-SNAP software was used to quantify ablation zone volume.

Percutaneous Navigation under Local Anesthesia for Computed Tomography-Guided Microwave Ablation of Malignant Liver Lesions Located in the Hepatic Dome.

The aim of the present study was to report the safety and efficacy of percutaneous navigation under local anesthesia for computed tomography-guided microwave ablation of malignant liver lesions located in the hepatic dome. Patients with primary and secondary malignant liver lesions located in the hepatic dome who underwent percutaneous computed tomography-guided microwave ablation using a computer-assisted navigation system under local anesthesia were prospectively evaluated. The primary objective was technical success.

Computed tomography guided radiofrequency ablation of osteoid osteoma in children: a single center's experience.

Objective: To report a single center's experience evaluating the efficacy and safety of computed tomography-guided radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of osteoid osteoma in children.

Materials And Methods: Institutional database research identified 33 symptomatic patients (≤ 18 years of age; male/female ratio: 21/12, mean age 13.09 ± 3.

Percutaneous Microwave Ablation of Liver Lesions: Differences on the Sphericity Index of the Ablation Zone between Cirrhotic and Healthy Liver Parenchyma.

To compare different parameters of the sphericity index of the ablation zone following microwave ablation (MWA) on cirrhotic- and healthy-liver parenchyma in a series of patients treated with the same MWA system. Institutional database research identified 46 patients (77 lesions) who underwent MWA. "Cirrhotic liver group" (CLG) included 35 hepatocellular carcinoma lesions; "healthy liver group" (HLG) included 42 metastatic lesions.

Feasibility and safety of percutaneous computed tomography guided radiofrequency ablation of lymph nodes in oligometastatic patients: a single center's experience.

Objectives: To retrospectively evaluate feasibility and safety of CT-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of metastatic lymph nodes (LN) in terms of achieving local tumor control.

Methods: Institutional database research identified 16 patients with 24 metastatic LNs who underwent percutaneous CT-guided radiofrequency ablation. Mean patient age was 66.

A New Preprocedural Score to Predict Bleeding Complications of Endovascular Interventions for Peripheral Artery Disease.

To investigate the bleeding complications associated with endovascular therapy (EVT) for peripheral artery disease (PAD) and develop a dedicated peripheral bleeding score (PBS). This prospective, single-center study enrolled 530 patients (mean age 67.6±9.

Solitary round pulmonary lesions in the pediatric population: a pictorial review.

The purpose of this current pictorial review is to define the solitary round pulmonary lesion (SRPL), to familiarize with its prevalence in the pediatric population, and, moreover, to educate radiologists on its vast differential diagnosis and imaging manifestations. Furthermore, by highlighting valuable clues, it intends to assist radiologists efficiently partake in its diagnosis, work-up, and follow-up in order to narrow down the differential diagnosis by working alongside the clinician and combining clinical information, lab results, and radiological findings.
