    Abstract A 67-year-old man presented to ear, nose and throat department complaining of nasal congestion and recurrent epistaxis for 5 months. Nasal endoscopy revealed a pigmented polyp obstructing the right nasal cavity. MRI with contrast agent showed a right nasal cavity polypoid mass with hyper signal intensity (SI) both in non-enhanced T1-w and diffusion imaging, marked hypo SI in T2-w sequences and avidly contrast enhancement characterised by rapid wash-in without significant wash-out on dynamic perfusion imaging. Histological specimen showed epithelioid and spindle cells with focal intense pigmentations and immunohistochemical features compatible with primary melanotic sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNM). As melanotic SNM shows MRI pathognomonic high non-enhanced T1-w SI, this case underlines the crucial role of MRI not only in assessing the local tumour extension/recurrence but also in increasing the diagnostic confidence of detecting melanotic SNM. Thus, MRI should be always performed in case of clinical-endoscopic suspicion of SNM.

    Abstract Mandibular fractures are among the most common maxillofacial fractures observed in emergency rooms and are mainly caused by road accidents. The clinical features of mandibular fractures include malocclusion and loss of mandibular function. Panoramic radiography is usually limited to isolated lesions, whereas computed tomography is the tool of choice for all other facial traumatic events. No reference standard classification system for the different types of mandibular fractures is defined. Therapeutic options include a conservative approach or surgical treatment based on the anatomic area and the severity of fracture. The main purpose of this pictorial review is to illustrate a practical description of the pathophysiology of mandibular fractures and describe both the imaging techniques to recognise them and the therapeutic indications.

    Abstract Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of both digital complete and small portion of panoramic radiography (PAN) in the detection of clinically/surgically confirmed asymptomatic apical periodontitis (AP) lesions with and without endodontic treatment.
    Methods: A total of 480 patients/teeth including 120 AP with and without endodontic treatment, and 120 healthy periapex with and without endodontic treatment were detected via CBCT using the periapical index system. Each diseased and healthy patient underwent PAN first and a CBCT scan within 40 days. All 480 cases were assessed by four different methods, as follows: complete PAN with clinical examination of each tooth available and not available, respectively, and small portion of PAN in which a root with crown and root without crown were displayed, respectively. Periapical index system was also used to assess AP by PAN. Accuracy for both complete and small portion of PAN with respect to CBCT was analyzed.
    Results: The overall accuracy of the four methods for teeth with endodontic treatment (73.4) was higher than teeth without endodontic treatment (66.6). Accuracy of complete PAN and portion of PAN was 71.3 and 68.7, respectively. As regards teeth without endodontic treatment, accuracy was higher for complete PAN in the upper/lower incisive area and for small portion of PAN in the upper molar area. No difference was found in teeth with endodontic treatment.
    Conclusion: Complete and small portion of PAN showed greater accuracy in the upper/lower incisive area and upper molar area of untreated teeth, respectively, whereas no difference was found in treated teeth.

    Title translation Automation in the preparation of labile blood products.
    Abstract The preparation of labile blood products in a blood bank is in permanent technological progress. Many operations, such as blood centrifugation, components separation, etc. are now performed by automated devices. A new generation of equipments is able to prepare blood products by reducing the number of manual operations. Therefore, buffy-coat platelet concentrate preparation and whole blood preparation can be prepared by these automated systems. Consequently, this directly impacts working conditions of employees, quality of blood products and process management.

    Abstract Contrast-enhanced digital mammography (CEDM) is a diagnostic tool for breast cancer detection. Artefacts are observed in about 10% of CEDM examinations. Understanding CEDM artefacts is important to prevent diagnostic misinterpretation. In this article, we have described the artefacts that we have commonly encountered in clinical practice; we hope to ease the recognition and help troubleshoot solutions to prevent or minimise them.

    Abstract Imaging-guided Core Needle Biopsy (CNB) is a procedure for tissue sampling in case of suspicious findings, such as breast masses and abnormal lymph nodes. It provides definitive diagnosis with a high accuracy rate and generally with no significant complications. To our knowledge, this is the first case report to document a pseudoaneurysm of the axilla after CNB. An illustrative case and a diagnostic and therapeutic literature review are presented.

    Abstract Background and purpose: Assisted coiling with stents or balloons enables a higher percentage of complete occlusions of saccular unruptured intracranial aneurysms to be achieved with a reasonable complication rate. The aim of this study was to compare stent-assisted coiling and the balloon remodeling technique in terms of efficacy, stability, and safety for the treatment of comparable unruptured saccular intracranial aneurysms.
    Materials and methods: 268 patients with 286 saccular unruptured wide-necked intracranial aneurysms were treated at our institution with stent- or balloon-assisted coiling and retrospectively reviewed. Statistical analysis was performed to assess significant differences between the two groups.
    Results: The rate of complete occlusion at the end of the procedure was higher with stent-assisted coiling than with balloon-assisted coiling (86.8% vs 78%) and the same results were also observed after 6 months (92.1% vs 77.6%; p=0.05). About 50% of major recurrences occurred in large to giant aneurysms (p<0.001). The overall complication rate was similar in the stent-assisted and balloon-assisted groups (10.3% vs 9.3%). Independently of the technique, a higher complication rate was observed with bifurcational aneurysms, particularly in the middle cerebral artery (p=0.016).
    Conclusions: Stent-assisted coiling achieved better results in terms of complete occlusion and stability than balloon-assisted coiling with a lower rate of recurrence without being associated with a higher risk of intraprocedural complications. Bifurcational and large to giant aneurysms were associated with higher complication rates and higher recurrence rates, respectively, and still represent a challenge for both techniques.

    Abstract Despite the encouraging results obtained with the endovascular treatment of ruptured intracranial aneurysms, few data are available on the effects of the timing of this approach on clinical outcome. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of the hyper-early timing of treatment and of pre-treatment and treatment-related variables on the clinical outcome of patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms. Five hundred and ten patients (167 M, 343 F; mean age 56.45 years) with 557 ruptured intracranial aneurysms were treated at our institution from 2000 to 2011 immediately after their admission. The total population was divided into three groups: patients treated within 12 hours (hyper-early, group A), between 12-48 hours (early, group B) and after 48 hours (delayed, group C). A statistical analysis was carried out for global population and subgroups. Two hundred and thirty-four patients (46%) were included in group A, 172 (34%) in group B and 104 (20%) in group C. Pre-treatment variables (Hunt&Hess, Fisher grades, older age) and procedure-related variable (ischaemic/haemorrhagic complications) showed a significant correlation with worse clinical outcomes. The hyper-early treatment showed no correlation with good clinical outcomes. The incidence of intra-procedural complications was not significantly different between the three groups; 1.2% of pre-treatment rebleedings were observed. The hyper-early endovascular treatment of ruptured intracranial aneurysm does not seem to be statistically correlated with good clinical outcomes although it may reduce the incidence of pre-treatment spontaneous rebleedings without being associated with a higher risk of intra-procedural complications. However, since no significant differences in terms of clinical outcome and pre-treatment rebleeding rate were observed, a hyper-early treatment is not be supported by our data.
