Article Abstract
Pericardial diseases are commonly encountered in clinical practice and may present as an isolated process or in association with various systemic conditions. Traditionally transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) has been the method of choice for the evaluation of suspected pericardial disease but increasingly computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are also being used as part of a rational multi-modality imaging approach tailored to the specific clinical scenario. This paper reviews the role of CT and MRI across the spectrum of pericardial diseases.

Pancreaticoduodenectomy, also known as the classic Whipple procedure, is the most common surgical treatment for pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Postoperative complications are common and occur in approximately 50% of patients. Prompt detection and management of these complications is vital for improving patient outcomes.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate whether low-dose CT imaging using an Sn filter can provide image quality sufficient for the differential diagnosis of cranial deformities in infants while maintaining an effective dose comparable to that of conventional radiography.
Methods: We calculated the effective dose for both head X-ray imaging and low-dose CT with an Sn filter. Phantom images acquired using a CT scanner equipped with an Sn filter were evaluated for bone suture visibility at various conditions (from 10 mAs to 50 mAs, every 10 mAs) using a 4-point visual grading scale.

Purpose: This study presents the dose-based intra-preplan (DIP) method for intracavitary/interstitial brachytherapy (IC/ISBT) in cervical cancer, optimizing catheter configurations based on dose distribution. This study aimed to assess the DIP method's clinical feasibility and efficacy.
Methods And Materials: The DIP method incorporates the implant modeling function and the hybrid inverse planning optimization algorithm in Oncentra Brachy.

This study was performed to evaluate the amount of bone implant engagement (BIE) of zygomatic implants (ZIs) at the malar bone level and its correlation with the ZAGA classification (zygoma anatomy-guided approach). One hundred ZIs placed in 32 patients with severe maxillary atrophy using a fully digital protocol were assessed: 80 placed in pairs (40 anterior (AI), 40 posterior (PI)) and 20 as single ZIs (SI). The ZAGA classification was determined preoperatively.
