    Abstract Although transarterial embolization is recognized as a treatment for type 2 endoleaks, it can occasionally be challenging. We report the case of an 86-year-old man who presented with an enlarging thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm following thoracic endovascular aortic repair. Using a triaxial system with a 1.3-F microcatheter, transarterial embolization of a type 2 endoleak was successfully performed through a long and tortuous arterial route comprising the thoracodorsal and ninth intercostal arteries. The postoperative clinical course was uneventful, and computed tomography obtained six days later showed no endoleak in the thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm. This case suggests the usefulness of a triaxial system with a 1.3-F microcatheter for transarterial embolization of type 2 endoleaks.

    Abstract Abstract: A 64-year-old woman presented with chest pain while eating and was referred to our hospital. Physical examination revealed abdominal distension, tenderness, and lower-extremity edema. Imaging revealed a large gallbladder tumor infiltrating the liver, with ascites and pleural effusion. A biopsy confirmed a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma with SMARCA4 deficiency (cT3N2M1, cStage IV). Chemotherapy was ineffective and led to tumor progression. The patient died 9 months later. Recently, attention has been paid to SMARCA4 deficiency, which is a genetic mutation found in tumors. Here, we report on poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas of the gallbladder based on imaging findings, including FDG PET.

    Abstract Breast-specific positron imaging systems provide higher sensitivity than whole-body PET for breast cancer detection. The clinical applications for breast-specific positron imaging are similar to breast MRI including preoperative local staging and neoadjuvant therapy response assessment. Breast-specific positron imaging may be an alternative for patients who cannot undergo breast MRI. Further research is needed in expanding the field-of-view for posterior breast lesions, increasing biopsy capability, and reducing radiation dose. Efforts are also necessary for developing appropriate use criteria, increasing availability, and advancing insurance coverage.

    Abstract International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging, which is the fundamentally important cancer staging system for cervical cancer, has changed in 2018. New FIGO staging includes considerable progress in the incorporation of imaging findings for tumour size measurement and evaluating lymph node (LN) metastasis in addition to tumour extent evaluation. MRI with high spatial resolution is expected for tumour size measurements and the high accuracy of positron emmision tomography/CT for LN evaluation. The purpose of this review is firstly review the diagnostic ability of each imaging modality with the clinical background of those two factors newly added and the current state for LN evaluation. Secondly, we overview the fundamental imaging findings with characteristics of modalities and sequences in MRI for accurate diagnosis depending on the focus to be evaluated and for early detection of recurrent tumour. In addition, the role of images in treatment response and prognosis prediction is given with the development of recent technique of image analysis including radiomics and deep learning.

    Abstract Abstract: A 72-year-old woman was referred for whole-body 111In-pentetreotide scintigraphy with SPECT/CT. There was increased uptake of lymphadenopathy in the left axilla and left deltoid muscle. The patient's history revealed that the patient received the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine 3 days before the 111In-pentetreotide scintigraphy with SPECT/CT. This case demonstrates that the COVID-19 vaccine can cause 111In-pentetreotide uptake in the lymph nodes and the deltoid muscle.

    Abstract Purpose: The 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system included the depth of invasion (DOI) for the T classification of oral cancer. However, no standardized method has been established to clinically measure the DOI. This study aimed to investigate the accuracy of MRI-based DOI for oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) in each MRI sequence.
    Methods: We enrolled 49 patients with histologically proven OTSCC, treated surgically between April 2017 and February 2021. We divided the DOI into three groups using 5 and 10 mm, the thresholds for determining the T stage, and retrospectively evaluated the agreement between MRI-based DOI and pathological DOI (pDOI) for each MRI sequence, axial T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), T2-weighted imaging with fat suppression (FS-T2WI), contrast-enhanced T1WI with fat suppression (CE-T1WI), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps. We also divided the DOI into two groups using 3 mm, the threshold for considering elective neck dissection, and evaluated the overestimation rate of MRI-based DOI in lesions with pDOI ≤ 3 mm.
    Results: With 5-mm and 10-mm divisions, the accuracy of the DOI assessment was highest on DWI (0.82, weighted kappa = 0.85). With a 3-mm division, the accuracy was also highest on DWI (0.87, kappa = 0.73). The overestimation rate of the MRI-based DOI in lesions with pDOI ≤ 3 mm was lowest on DWI (27.8%).
    Conclusion: DOI on DWI exhibits a comparatively higher rate of concordance with pDOI. DWI may be more useful than other MRI sequences in evaluating the DOI of OTSCC.

    Abstract We report a case of a cystic liver tumour in a 47-year-old man with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) who had undergone sclerotherapy at another hospital for a cyst in hepatic segment IV (S4) 7 years earlier. Based on the preoperative imaging findings, the patient was diagnosed with an intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct. Percutaneous transhepatic portal vein embolization was performed to increase the residual liver volume, followed by resection of the three right hepatic lobes and the caudate lobe, biliary reconstruction, and portal vein reconstruction. Pathological examination revealed an adenoma arising in an intrahepatic biliary duplication cyst. Retrospectively, the preoperative diagnosis was difficult, but it aligned with previous reports of biliary duplication cysts due to its continuity with the bile duct. Additionally, intrahepatic biliary duplication cysts with tumour lesions or cases in which 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography was performed have not been previously reported. Therefore, preoperatively listing this disease as a differential diagnosis was difficult. PJS and chronic inflammation associated with cyst sclerotherapy may have contributed to tumour development in the intrahepatic biliary duplication cyst.

    Abstract Objective: The effects of hormonal therapy, estrogen-based hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and anti-tumor hormone therapy, such as tamoxifen, on the physiological uptake of the endometrium on 2-deoxy-2[
    Materials and methods: Postmenopausal women receiving hormone therapy who underwent cancer screening using PET/computed tomography (CT) between June 2016 and April 2023 were included in the hormone therapy group (n = 21). Postmenopausal women with no history of hormone therapy were included in the control group (n = 49). First, the physiological endometrial uptake at menopausal age and at least 1 year thereafter was compared quantitatively (SUVmax) and qualitatively (4-point scale) in the control group, to assess when the endometrium ceased to show significant physiological [
    Results: Endometrial uptake was significantly reduced both qualitatively and quantitatively (P < 0.05) at least 1 year after menopause in control patients, by which time most women (89.8%) no longer had significant endometrial uptake. The hormone therapy group (n = 21) showed higher FDG uptake in the endometrium compared to the control group (median SUVmax: 2.3 vs 1.9, P = 0.0011), as well as a higher visual score (P < 0.0001). HRT duration did not correlate with endometrial uptake (P = 0.097). Endometrial thickness in the hormone therapy group was significantly thicker than in the control group (median: 3.9 mm vs 1.8 mm, P = 0.002).
    Conclusion: Hormone therapy may affect physiological uptake in the endometrium in postmenopausal women.

    Abstract The staging of endometrial cancer is based on the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging system according to the examination of surgical specimens, and has revised in 2023, 14 years after its last revision in 2009. Molecular and histological classification has incorporated to new FIGO system reflecting the biological behavior and prognosis of endometrial cancer. Nonetheless, the basic role of imaging modalities including ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography, as a preoperative assessment of the tumor extension and also the evaluation points in CT and MRI imaging are not changed, other than several point of local tumor extension. In the field of radiology, it has also undergone remarkable advancement through the rapid progress of computational technology. The application of deep learning reconstruction techniques contributes the benefits of shorter acquisition time or higher quality. Radiomics, which extract various quantitative features from the images, is also expected to have the potential for the quantitative prediction of risk factors such as histological types and lymphovascular space invasion, which is newly included in the new FIGO system. This article reviews the preoperative imaging diagnosis in new FIGO system and recent advances in imaging analysis and their clinical contributions in endometrial cancer.
