Current Status of Cardiovascular Imaging in Germany: Structured Data from the National Certification Program, ESCR Registry, and Survey among Radiologists Open
Purpose In the light of the increasing importance of cardiovascular cross-sectional imaging in current guidelines, the goal of this study is to provide a comprehensive overview of cardiovascular imaging (CVI) offered by radiological instit…
Statement of the German Roentgen Society, German Society of Neuroradiology, and Society of German-speaking Pediatric Radiologists on Requirements for the Performance and Reporting of MR Imaging Examinations Outside of Radiology Open
Background Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a very innovative, but at the same time complex and technically demanding diagnostic method in radiology. It plays an increasing role in high-quality and efficient patient management. Quality …
Sudden cardiac death after implantation of a cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker: a case report illustrating that not always <i>less is more</i> Open
Background Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves symptoms and survival in selected patients with systolic heart failure and ventricular conduction delay. In subjects without prior life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia, clinici…
Computer-Assisted Quality Assessment of Aortic CT Angiographies for Patient-Individual Dose Adjustment Open
Iodine-containing contrast agents (CA) are important for enhanced image contrast in CT imaging especially in CT angiography (CTA). CA however poses a risk to the patient since it can e.g. harm the kidneys. In clinical routine often a stand…
Comparison of 4D Flow MRI to 2D Flow MRI in the pulmonary arteries in healthy volunteers and patients with pulmonary hypertension Open
This study confirms that quantitative parameters used for characterizing pulmonary hypertension can be gathered using 4D Flow MRI within clinically reasonable limits of agreement. Despite its unfavorable spatial and lesser temporal resolut…
Significance of an additional unenhanced scan in computed tomography angiography of patients with suspected acute aortic syndrome Open
IMH is a common and difficult to detect entity of AAS. An additional unenhanced acquisition within an aortic CTA protocol facilitates the detection of IMH.
Accuracy of myocardial viability imaging by cardiac MRI and PET depending on left ventricular function Open
CMR and PET reveal different diagnostic accuracy in myocardial viability assessment depending on LV function state. CMR, in general, is less optimistic in functional recovery prediction.

The thick tongue – a rare differential diagnosis Open
Amyloidosis manifests in up to 20% of the cases in head and neck. This leads to different symptoms depending on the affected tissue. The diagnosis is confirmed by histological detection of amyloid deposits in Congo red stain in a polarizin…
Comparison of the Revenue Situation in Interventional Radiology Based on the Example of Peripheral Artery Disease in the Case of a DRG Payment System and Various Internal Treatment Charges Open
Purpose Calculation of process-orientated costs for inpatient endovascular treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD) from an interventional radiology (IR) perspective. Comparison of revenue situations in consideration of different ways …
Phase I Study of Definitive Radio-chemotherapy with Cisplatin, 5-Fluorouracil and Cetuximab for Unresectable Locally Advanced Esophageal Cancer Open
Dose level 2 appears safe and is used in a subsequent randomized phase II study.
Leakage of Hepaticojejunal Anastomosis: Radiological Interventional Therapy Open
Background: Hepaticojejunostomy is an established procedure accompanying liver resection as well as hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery. Typical complications requiring radiological intervention are abscesses and anastomosis leakage. Bili…
MR-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment of uterine fibroids Open
Uterine fibroids are benign, encapsulated uterine tumors, representing the most common reason for hysterectomy in premenopausal women. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU; also known as focused ultrasound surgery) is a noninvasive tech…
Sudden hypertension in a kidney transplant recipient after a skiing accident Open
Our findings in this case highlight a rarely reported clinical presentation which physicians should be aware of when evaluating patients who have received a renal transplant.
