OBJECTIVE Organizing pneumonia (OP) is a rare lung condition that is characterized by the presence of polypoid tissues due to fibroblastic plugs within respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts and sacs. The three main radiologic patterns of OP include typical, solitary-focal and infiltrative forms. The maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) on positron emission tomography-computed tomography...

The case material of 42 patients with primary tumors of the optic nerve and chiasm examined at our institution within a 10 year period was reviewed. In each case, the radiologic data and certain clinical information were compiled to determine the role of radiology in the workup of patients with these tumors and to compare the results of various imaging methods. Although different types of infor...

Ever since Sir Robert Jones demonstrated the utility of radiographs for the diagnosis of fractures,1 the quality and value of diagnostic imaging has steadily increased. The spinal surgeon and the spinal patient have in recent decades benefited from the development of imaging modalities specific for soft or hard tissue. For lateral approach spinal surgery, these modalities are critical for diagn...

An enostosis or bone island is a benign bony lesion that is almost diagnosed based on clinical and radiologic defining characteristics. One of the known diagnostic procedures in the evaluation of enostosis is bone scintigraphy. Generally, we don’t expect to see increased uptake by enostosis in the bone scan. Herein we present a 52-year-old lady who was suffering from chronic low back pain that ...

Objective: Hematolymphoid neoplasms involving breast (HLNB) are rare with majority of lesions in being epithelial nature. There no characteristic clinical and radiologic features to distinguish carcinomas from HLNB. However, it is essential recognise lesion as hematolymphoid nature for appropriate patient management. This case series highlights clinical, radiologic, pathologic HLNB breast.&#x0D...
