Radiological Follow-Up of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

2015

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic gastrointestinal diseases that typically affect the young working-age population. Patients with IBD, both asymptomatic and symptomatic, often develop complications during their clinical course. This is particularly true in patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) and biological signs of inflammation, despite being asymptomatic. In addition, it seems clear that the absence of symptoms does not imply an absence of inflammation. For all the above mentioned reasons, patients should be followed up and objectively evaluated. IBD are idiopathic diseases characterized by periods of remission and frequent exacerbations. To appreciate the impact of disease pr…

MRI Enteroclysis and Enterography

2015

Magnetic Resonance is actually the most complete and less invasive imaging technique in the evaluation of Crohn’s disease. Compared to Computed Tomography and Ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance allows both a morphological and qualitative evaluation of the disease at the same time, thus allowing an evaluation of its extension in the gastrointestinal tract and of its grade of activity, obtaining an accurate relation with the clinical status of the patient. This is possible thanks to its intrinsic characteristics, as multiplanarity, high contrast resolution, and the possibility to make a functional assessment; moreover, there is no use of ionizing radiation. For all these reasons, this technique h…

[Diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of "myocardial bridging": state of the art and unresolved issues].

2013

The current gold standard for the diagnosis of myocardial bridging is conventional coronary angiography; however, it shows only indirect signs of the disease, due to the systolic compression of the artery caused by the myocardial bridge with narrowing of the lumen and diastolic relaxation. On the other hand, computed tomography coronary angiography, even though exposing to radiation, clearly demonstrates the intramural course, the overlying muscular bands and the surrounding tissues also in asymptomatic patients and in absence of systolic compression. The prognosis of patients with myocardial bridge is usually good, but further studies are needed to evaluate the long-term prognosis of these…

A CASE OF JUVENILE STROKE CAUSED BY ACTINIC CERVICAL ARTERIOPATHY

2013

Introduction: Radiation Arteriopathy is a vascular disease characterized by progressive arterial stenosis that may occur after external radiotherapy (RT) directed to a specific body region affected by malignant tumours. The arterial damage usually starts many years after the injury and the specific pathogenesis is unknown, though atherosclerosis praecox, endothelial damage, adventitial fibrosis and vasa vasorum obliteration are likely involved mechanisms. In patients with previously irradiated neck or head cancers, supra aortic arteries can be affected in their segments exposed to radiations leading to a gradual lumen narrowing. This late complication leads to a progressive stenosis of extr…
