    Abstract Secretin is a hormone that stimulates the exocrine pancreatic secretion of bicarbonate-rich fluid from the acinar cells of the pancreas that accumulates within the pancreatic ductal lumen. The exogenous administration of secretin improves the visualization of pancreatic ducts at magnetic resonance (MR) cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), because of an enlargement of the pancreatic duct system and an increase of the fluid content within the lumen of the pancreatic ducts, responsible of an increase of MR signal. In this review, the technique of secretin-enhanced MRCP, which has the aim to depict the whole pancreatic duct system, the biliary tree, the major and minor papillae, and the duodenum, will be described. Because of the anatomic contiguity between the pancreas and the gastrointestinal tract, the presence of fluid within the stomach may overlap with the pancreatic duct system and therefore the pancreatic duct may be difficult to visualize, representing a potential source of diagnostic pitfalls. The technique to reduce the signal intensity of the static fluid present within the stomach and in the duodenal lumen is also described. The technique of secretin administration will be illustrated, with emphasis on the synchronization of secretin administration and MR image acquisition. Furthermore, the frequency and number of MRCP images necessary to achieve a temporal resolution adequate to visualize the physiologic changes in the pancreatic gland, induced by the administration of secretin, is described. The assessment of pancreatic, morphologic, and functional response to the administration of secretin, as depicted on MRCP images, will be illustrated. Finally, the indications for secretin-enhanced MRCP will be discussed to define which patients will benefit from secretin-enhanced MR imaging for their treatment planning. (©) RSNA, 2016.

    Abstract Objectives: (1) To illustrate and describe the main types of pancreatic surgery; (2) to discuss the normal findings after pancreatic surgery; (3) to review the main complications and their radiological findings.
    Background: Despite the decreased postoperative mortality, morbidity still remains high resulting in longer hospitalisations and greater costs. Imaging findings following major pancreatic resections can be broadly divided into "normal postoperative alterations" and real complications. The former should regress within a few months whereas complications may be life-threatening and should be promptly identified and treated.
    Imaging findings: CT is the most effective postoperative imaging technique. MRI and fluoroscopy are used less often and only in specific cases such as assessing the gastro-intestinal function or the biliary tree. The most common normal postoperative findings are pneumobilia, perivascular cuffing, fluid collections, lymphadenopathy, acute anastomotic oedema and stranding of the peri-pancreatic/mesenteric fat. Imaging depicts the anastomoses and the new postoperative anatomy. It can also demonstrate early and late complications: pancreatic fistula, haemorrhage, delayed gastric emptying, hepatic infarction, acute pancreatitis of the remnant, porto-mesenteric thrombosis, abscess, biliary anastomotic leaks, anastomotic stenosis and local recurrence.
    Conclusions: Radiologists should be aware of surgical procedures, postoperative anatomy and normal postoperative imaging findings to better detect complications and recurrent disease.
    Teaching points: • Morbidity after pancreatic resections is high. • CT is the most effective postoperative imaging technique. • Imaging depicts the anastomoses and the new postoperative anatomy. • Pancreatic fistula is the most common complication after partial pancreatic resection.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate if diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is able to detect changes of periprostatic neurovascular fibers (PNFs) before and after radical prostatectomy (RP), and if these changes are related to post-surgical urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction.
    Methods: 22 patients (mean age 62.6 years) with biopsy-proven prostate cancer underwent 1.5 T DTI before and after RP. The number, fractional anisotropy (FA) values and length of PNFs before and after RP were compared using Student's t-test. Each patient filled out two questionnaires before and after RP, one for the evaluation of urinary continence (ICIQ-SF) and one for the evaluation of erectile function (IIEF-5). The ratios of the number, FA values and length of PNFs before and after RP (DTI B-A RATIOs) and the ratios between the scores obtained before and after RP for both ICIQ-SF and IIEF-2 (ICIQ-SF B-A RATIOs and IIEF-2 B-A RATIOs) were calculated to perform the Kendall's τ-test between them.
    Results: There was a statistically significant decrease of the number of PNFs after RP at base, midgland, and apex (p < 0.01) and of FA values at midgland (p < 0.05), with positive statistically significant correlation between the DTI B-A RATIOs of the number of PNFs and IIEF-2 B-A RATIOs (p < 0.05, ρ = 0.47).
    Conclusion: DTI was able to detect that the decrease of the number of the PNFs after RP was statistically related to the post-surgical erectile dysfunction (p < 0.05). Advances in knowledge: This work demonstrates that: (1) 1.5 T MRI DTI is able to detect the decrease of the number and of the FA of PNFs after prostatectomy; (2) the decrease of the number of PNFs after prostatectomy is related with the post-surgical erectile dysfunction; (3) 1.5 T MRI DTI has demonstrated to be a reproducible technique in detecting the changes of the PNFs induced by RP, with high interobserver agreement.

    Abstract Cavernoma is a vascular hamartoma, which represents 10-20% of all central nervous system vascular malformations. The majority (80%) of them are supratentorial, while involvement of the cranial nerves and the optic pathways is extremely rare. The main clinical presentation of optochiasmatic cavernomas consists of chiasmatic apoplexy, which is a neurosurgical emergency. Here, we report a case in which the finding was incidentally detected in a 49-year-old man. We describe the imaging characteristics of the lesion in such a rare location, highlighting the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (specifically 3 Tesla) in the management of asymptomatic patients.

    Abstract Unlabelled: The many factors influencing the shear wave velocity (SWV) measured with Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) are examined in order to define the most correct examination technique. In particular, attention is given to the information achieved by experimental models, such as phantoms and animal studies. This review targets the clinical applications of ARFI in the evaluation of chronic diffuse disease, especially of liver and kidneys. The contribution of ARFI to the clinical workout of these patients and some possible perspectives are described.
    Teaching points: • Stiffness significantly varies among normal and abnormal biological tissues. • In clinical applications physical, geometrical, anatomical and physiological factors influence the SWV. • Elastographic techniques can quantify fibrosis, which is directly related to stiffness. • ARFI can be useful in chronic diffuse disease of liver and kidney.

    Abstract Objectives: Chronic asymptomatic pancreatic hyperenzymemia (CAPH) was described as a benign disease. However, we already described clinically relevant findings requiring surgery or follow-up in half of the subjects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcome of CAPH in terms of symptoms and evolution toward chronic pancreatitis.
    Methods: Subjects previously enrolled in the first phase of the study (from 2005 to 2010) were reinvestigated from December 2013 to January 2017 with a phone call ± magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography with secretin stimulation.
    Results: A total of 133 subjects were eligible for the follow-up study (75 males, 58 females; age, 48.4 [standard deviation {SD}, 14] years); 24 (18%) of them dropped out. During a mean follow-up of 9.3 (SD, 5.2) years after the first diagnosis of CAPH, no episode of acute pancreatitis or abdominal pain was reported. Sixty-three subjects (58%) of 109 underwent magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography with secretin stimulation with a mean follow-up of 5.7 [SD, 3.1] years (range, 1-11 years). Secretin stimulation-MRCP resulted unchanged in 54 (90%) of 60 subjects, worsened in 3 (5%) and improved in 3 (5%). Two subjects died from causes unrelated to pancreatic disease.
    Conclusions: Excluding subjects with a pancreatic disease at index magnetic resonance imaging, CAPH is a benign condition.

    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the role of DTI (with fibretracking) and T2-weighted imaging (T2-WI) used together for predicting extra-capsular extension in patients with localized prostate cancer.
    Method and materials: Thirty-six patients with biopsy-proven diagnosis of prostatic neoplasia performed MRI and underwent radical prostatectomy. Histopathological analysis showed ECE in 15/36 and capsule sparing in 21/36. By means of T2-WI, ECE was evaluated in a qualitative manner, according to PI-RADS v.2 (two groups with low and high risk of ECE); sensitivity and specificity were calculated for both groups. We performed a quantitative analysis on two tractographic parameters, fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and computed the ratio between the lesion quadrant and its contralateral (L/H ratio). We compared L/H ratios of patients with and without ECE; ROC analyses were performed to determinate ECE cut-off values of tractographic parameters. These cut-off values were used in association with T2-WI to reassess patients and to evaluate whether specificity and sensitivity of ECE detection change.
    Results: T2-WI showed a sensitivity of 80% and a specificity of 71% in detection of ECE. Tractography displayed a significant difference in L/H ratio for FA and ADC between patients with and without ECE. The simultaneous use of T2-WI and tractography revealed high sensitivity (100%) on patients with low suspect of ECE (on T2-WI) and high specificity (83%) on patients with high suspect of ECE (on T2-WI).
    Conclusion: The morphologic component of T2-weighted imaging and functional aspect of DTI should be interpreted together to more successfully assess the presence of ECE.
