The adjunctive use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) significantly improves endovascular therapy. However, data on IVUS and IC is scarce. Therefore, the aim of this investigation was to determine the safety and efficacy of IVUS in patients with IC and to evaluate discrepancies compared to angiography and potential consequences for treatment.This was a single-center prospective cohort study. Twenty patients with IC and femoropopliteal disease eligible for endovascular therapy were enrolled. Procedural data and discrepancies between IVUS and angiography were recorded.In total, 30 lesions were treated. IVUS-based measurements yielded substantially higher reference vessel diameters (RVD) and lesion lengths compared to DSA alone (RVD: 5.37 ± 0.71 mm vs. 4.74 ± 0.63 mm, p<.001, lesion length: 62.4 ± 41.4 mm vs. 42.18 ± 30.2 mm, p<.001). In 24 of 30 lesions (80%), a significant discrepancy in RVD (defined as difference >0.5 mm) and lesion length (defined as >20 mm) was determined between IVUS and standard DSA. Subsequently, IVUS assessment led to upsizing in 14 of 30 lesions (47%) and downsizing in 3 of 30 lesions (10%). On average, IVUS led to the selection of considerably larger balloons (5.25 ± 0.62 vs. 4.74 ± 0.63, p<.004) and device length (78.97 ± 44.19 mm vs. 42.18 ± 30.2, p<.001). Serious adverse events did not occur. Technical success was achieved in all cases.IVUS is safe and provides advantages regarding the evaluation of IC by depicting RVD and lesion length more reliably than standard DSA. More precise assessment of lesions resulted in the use of significantly larger devices. · The safety and efficacy of IVUS are confirmed for the distinct cohort of patients with IC.. · IVUS provides advantages for the evaluation of IC by depicting RVD and lesion length more reliably than standard DSA.. · More precise assessment of stenoses resulted in the selection of significantly larger devices, hence suggesting substantial clinical impact.. · Hartung V, Augustin AM, Gruschwitz P et al.

The reason for that may be confined to the co-existence of two closely neighbored but different anatomical structures (i.e., tooth-forming apparatus and jaw bones with adjacent gingiva) and some tumour pathologies which are nearly excusively encountered in the jaw bones only (e.g., ameloblastoma, ossifying fibroma, ghost cell carcinoma).This paper would like to highlight some basic principles of the diagnostic approach and possibilities of radiological differentiation of such tumour-suspicious changes within the gnathic system are elucidated and discussed.The paper presented here is substantially based on the most recent classification of odontogenic and maxillofacial tumours (5<sup>th</sup> edition, 2022) which serves as a scaffold for the selection of typical tumour entities. Due to the educational character of this paper, only important jaw tumours worth mentioning and their characteristics are subject to be extracted from the literature and further discussed.The main focus was put onto both the description of radiological tumoral appearance and the rational selection of a radiological diagnostic work-up. In order to better visualize this difficult field of tumour entities, much attention has been paid on a comprehensive pictorial essay.For radiologists, it is their foremast task to detect, describe, and to classify bone tumours of the jaw when they are found intentionally or accidentally, resp. A close co-operation with their clinical partners is of upmost importance to gain information about patient´s history and clinical presentation. It is readily reasonable that radiologists are mostly able to provide only a suggestion of the presented tumour entity but this expert opinion would be very helpful to further narrow down the list of potential differential diagnoses (e.g., differentiation of a cyst vs. solid tumour osteolysis, identification of jaw osteomyelitis vs. tumoral infiltration, recognizing of secondary tumour involvement of the jaw). · primary bone tumours of the jaw are very rare, moreover difficult to differentiate radiologically, and do need therefore histological proof;. · profound knowledge about tumour characteristics (location within the jaw, relationship to the tooth, bony destructive pattern) may allow a rough orientation and classification;. · matrix-forming tumours and dysplasias of the jaw facilitates their radiological differentiation and classification;. · in contrary, osteolyses should be thoroughly scrutinized for the more frequent gnathic cysts in differentiation of rather rare solid primary tumours;. · an interdisciplinary round-table discussion amongst well-experienced maxillofacial surgeons and specialized radiologists may be appropriate to avoid severe misinterpretations.. · Grieser T, Hirsch E, Tödtmann","PeriodicalId":21490,"journal":{"name":"Rofo-fortschritte Auf Dem Gebiet Der Rontgenstrahlen Und Der Bildgebenden Verfahren","volume":" ","pages":"621-637"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142716403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result of the topographical relationship to nearby neck spaces, a very precise differential diagnosis is possible based on imaging criteria. When in doubt, imaging-guided - usually CT-guided - biopsy and even drainage remain options.Through a precise analysis of the literature including the most recent publications, this review precisely describes the basic and most recent imaging applications for various PPS pathologies and the differential diagnostic scheme for assigning the respective lesions in addition to the possibilities of using interventional radiology.The different pathologies of PPS from congenital malformations and inflammation to tumors are discussed according to frequency. Characteristic criteria and, more recently, the use of advanced imaging procedures and the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) allow a very precise differential diagnosis and support further diagnosis and therapy. After precise access planning, almost all pathologies of the PPS can be biopsied or, if necessary, drained using CT-assisted procedures.Radiological procedures play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment planning of PPS pathologies. · Lesions of the PPS account for about 1-2% of all pathologies of the head and neck region. The majority are benign lesions and inflammatory processes.. · If differential diagnostic questions remain unanswered, material can - if necessary - be obtained via a CT-guided biopsy. Exclusion criteria are hypervascularized processes, especially paragangliomas and angiomas.. · The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in head and neck imaging of various pathologies, such as tumor segmentation, pathological TMN classification, detection of lymph node metastases, and extranodal extension, has significantly increased in recent years.. · Vogl TJ, Burck I, Stöver T et al.
