Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has an important role in detection and differential diagnosis of the myocardial amyloidosis versus hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, but especially in differential diagnosis of both types of amyloid deposits in the heart muscle - transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) and light chain amyloidosis (AL).

Current approach in the staging of the oropharyngeal carcinomaReview article

Jiří Ferda, Eva Ferdová, Jan Baxa, Táňa Baráková, Alena Skálová

Ces radiol. 2019, 73(2):79-86 | DOI: 10.55095/CesRadiol2019/012  

New classification scheme according the 8th revision of TNM changes the clinical stadium assessments in oropharyngeal carcinoma in the relation to human papilloma virus association, tumors mediated by the HPV exhibit different presentation both in clinical and imaging appearance.

Split-bolus technique of contrast medium administration used in whole body CT examination of patient with polytraumaOriginal article

Kristýna Bajcurová, Hynek Mírka, Eva Korčáková

Ces radiol. 2019, 73(2):99-106 | DOI: 10.55095/CesRadiol2019/015

Assessment of thyroid nodules by ultrasonography including shear wave elastographyOriginal article

Zuzana Sedláčková, Jan Heřman, Tomáš Fürst, Richard Salzman, Miroslav Heřman

Ces radiol. 2019, 73(2):107-112 | DOI: 10.55095/CesRadiol2019/016  

The benefit of ultrasonographic elastography in diagnosing malignant thyroid nodules is questionable. Despite the fact that the results of elastographic measurements alone tend to be statistically significant, the assessment of classic ultrasonographic parameters is sufficient.

18F-fluorocholine PET/CT restaging imaging in prostate cancer patients with biochemical failure - preliminary reportOriginal article

Eva Krčálová, Martin Slanina, Dagmar Kalousová, Zuzana Poulová, Jan Jansa, Jiří Doležal

Ces radiol. 2019, 73(2):113-117 | DOI: 10.55095/CesRadiol2019/017  

Our preliminary data show that PSA kinetics is of great importance for successful tumour detection with 18F-Fluorocholine PET/CT in prostate cancer patients in biochemical failure with low PSA levels.

Visualisation of pancreatic adenocarcinoma and its differential diagnosis using imaging methodsReview article

Róbert Psár, Ondřej Urban, Marie Černá, Veronika Psárová

Ces radiol. 2019, 73(2):118-124 | DOI: 10.55095/CesRadiol2019/018
