Jiří Ferda, Eva Ferdová, Jan Baxa

Ces radiol. 2016, 70(3):138-142 | DOI: 10.55095/CesRadiol2016/021  

During PET/CT in children the reduction of the exposition parameters and the decrease of the aktivity dose enables serious reduction of the radiation dose burden to the ill child.

We compared results of control monitoring CEUS and CT after radiofrequency ablation. We demonstrated 80% sensitivity and 100% specificity CEUS for detecting nonablation of liver tumors after radiofrequency ablation. In our cohort, the sensitivity of CEUS is higher than the sensitivity of CT, this result can be affected by a small number of tumor residues.

Is there an association between sonographic characteristic of carotid atherosclerotic plaque istability and serum level of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A₂ (maker of atherosclerotic plaque inflammation)?Original article

Libor Danihel, Štefan Madarász, Pavel Blažíček, Lubomíra Červová

Ces radiol. 2016, 70(3):158-165 | DOI: 10.55095/CesRadiol2016/024  

The aim of this work is to assess an association between sonographic characteristic of carotid plaque instability and increased serum level of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A₂ (Lp-PLA₂, marker of atherosclerotic plaque inflammation), in consideration of the fact that carotid plaque and Lp-PLA₂ are reckoned to be the cardiovascular risk markers.

Ces radiol. 2016, 70(3):166-172 | DOI: 10.55095/CesRadiol2016/025  

Options optic nerve imaging in MRI scanner with the field strength 1.5 T; limitations of imaging; the differential diagnosis implication of atrophy and hypertrophy of the optic nerve.

Hoffa's fat pad - an underreported structureReview article

Jindra Brtková

Ces radiol. 2016, 70(3):173-184 | DOI: 10.55095/CesRadiol2016/026  

Following an information on the anatomical and physiologic background, an overview of MRI findings in Hoffa's fat pad of the knee is presented in correlation with the review of literature and the relevance of anatomical variants as possible predisposing factors in the development of pathologic conditions and their clinical penetration is further studied.
