“…Concerning visceral metastases, liver localisations are quite common in patients with breast cancer (up to 60-70% of women have liver metastases at autopsy) [48]. Sensitivity and specificity for detecting liver metastases were reported 73-75% and 94-96%, respectively, while for US, MRI and FDG-PET were 61-65% and 96-98%, 80-82% and 96-98% and 94-96% and 98-99%, respectively [49][50][51].…”

Numerous imaging modalities may be used for the staging of women with advanced breast cancer. Although bone scintigraphy and multiplanar-CT are the most frequently used tests, others including PET, MRI and hybrid scans are also utilised, with no specific recommendations of which test should be preferentially used. We review the evidence behind the imaging modalities that characterise metastases in breast cancer and to update the evidence on comparative imaging accuracy.

“…Positron-emission computed tomography (PET-CT) is the method of choice because of its sensitivity; however, it is expensive and not available in most centres [5]. CT scans of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis are commonly used for assessment of extra-osseous metastasis, but they are associated with radiation exposure [6][7][8].…”

Purpose: To assess the reproducibility of detection of osseous and extra-osseous metastases in cancer patients using whole-body diffusion-weighted imaging with background body signal suppression (WB-DWIBS). Material and methods: A prospective study was conducted on 39 consecutive patients (21 females, 18 males; mean age 48 years) with metastases, who underwent WB-DWIBS on a 1.5-T MR scanner. Image analysis was performed independently by two blinded observers. Inter-observer agreement was assessed for the detection of osseous (spinal, appendicular) and extra-osseous (hepatic, pulmonary, nodal, and peritoneal) metastases. Results: The overall inter-observer agreement of WB-DWIBS in the detection of osseous and extra-osseous metastases was excellent (k = 0.887, agreement = 94.44%, p = 0.001). There was excellent inter-observer agreement of both observers for the detection of osseous spinal (k = 0.846, agreement = 92.3%), osseous appendicular (k = 0.898, agreement = 94.8 %), hepatic (k = 0.847, agreement = 92.3%), pulmonary (k = 0.938, agreement = 97.4%), nodal metastases (k = 0.856, agreement = 94.9%), and peritoneal metastasis (k = 0.772, agreement = 94.9%). Conclusion: We concluded that WB-DWIBS is reproducible for detection of osseous and extra-osseous metastases in cancer patients.

Aim: To assess reliability of standardized reporting system of acute appendicitis at low-dose 320-rows CT. Methods: Retrospective analysis CT of 78 patients with pathologically proven acute appendicitis. The study was performed at low-dose 320-rows CT. The image analysis was performed by 2 radiologists according to standardized reporting system of acute appendicitis. Results: There was excellent overall of inter-observer agreement of both observers for standardized reporting system of acute appendicitis ( K = 0.89, 95% CI = 0.87-0.92, P = 0.001). There was good inter-observer agreement for visualization of appendix (K = 0.78, P = 0.001), tip diameter ( K = 0.75, P = 0.001), and single wall thickness of appendix ( K =0.77, P = 0.001). There was excellent inter-observer agreement for outer to outer wall diameter ( K = 0.82 , P = 0.001), mucosal hyper-enhancement ( K =0.80, P = 0.001), appendicolith ( K = 0.86, P = 0.001), gas in appendix ( K = 0.82, P = 0.001), surrounding fat stranding ( K = 0.81, P = 0.001), focal cecal thickening ( K = 0.85, P = 0.001), peri-appendiceal air ( K = 0.87, P = 0.001), peri-appendicular fluid collection, phlegmon, or abscess ( K = 0.82, P = 0.001), and right ovary cyst ( K = 0.83, P = 0.001). Conclusion: we concluded that excellent reliability of standardized reporting system of acute appendicitis in adults using low-dose 320-rows CT.
