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

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.
Application of dual-energy CT to distinguish adrenal adenomas from non-adenomas - first experienceOriginal article
Paulína Szász, Filip Čtvrtlík, Petr Kučera, František Odstrčil, Kateřina Langová, Radim Kovář, Hana Študentová, František Hruška, Zbyněk Tüdös
Ces radiol. 2019, 73(2):87-92 | DOI: 10.55095/CesRadiol2019/013
Prospective study using unenhanced dual-energy CT revealed statistically significant difference between adrenal adenomas and non-adenomas (carcinomas, pheochromocytomas, metastases).
Perfusion CT of the brain - possibilities of scan optimizationOriginal article
Jiří Bejček, Jan Baxa, Jiří Ferda
Ces radiol. 2019, 73(2):93-98 | DOI: 10.55095/CesRadiol2019/014
Optimized CT protocol of the brain perfusion is an effective tool in assessment of acute ischemic stroke with reduced dose.
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
Single pass CT examination with split-bolus administration of contrast medium - convenient to use it in multiple trauma patients.
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
The aim of this article is to present a comprehensive picture of contemporary pancreatic adenocarcinoma imaging and its differential diagnosis using modern imaging methods. Our overview article could help many medical specialists as a guideline in understanding the advantages and disadvantages of imaging methods in diagnostics and especially differential diagnostics of this disease.
