The addition of SPECT/CT resulted in a significant reduction of equivocal reports; a definitive diagnosis was given in the majority of the patients due to the improved diagnostic confidence compared to planar or SPECT imaging alone in prostate cancer patients with suspected bone metastases.

Vertebrobasilar dissection may cause ischaemia or subarachnoid haemorrhage and can pose a significant treatment challenge. Endovascular treatment using stents alone has been described but there are few reports of its clinical application. We here report our experiences from three cases of vertebrobasilar dissection and pseudo-aneurysm or subarachnoid hemorrhage treated with stents alone.

This study supports the use of non-contrast balanced SSFP-MRI in the assessment of the deep veins of the lower limb prior to I-DVR. The technique offers an accurate, fast and non-invasive alternative to IVDSA. Advances in Knowledge: Although balanced SSFP-MRI is commonly used in cardiac imaging, its use elsewhere is limited and its use in evaluating the deep veins prior to interventional reconstruction is not described. Our study demonstrates the usefulness of this technique in the work-up of patients awaiting interventional venous reconstruction compared with the current gold standard.
