Ces radiol. 2025, 79(3):168-174 | DOI: 10.55095/CesRadiol2025/020  

This review article provides an overview of the current applications of multiparametric PET in oncologic imaging. It outlines the fundamentals of the Patlak method, the kinetics of radiopharmaceuticals, and discusses opportunities for integration into clinical workflows, along with current challenges and the future potential of this approach.

The chest computed tomography - dose reducing using additional silver filtrationOriginal article

Ces radiol. 2025, 79(3):175-181 | DOI: 10.55095/CesRadiol2025/019  

The aim of the work was to determine the difference in radiation exposure during chest computed tomography examination with and without silver filtration. The effective dose when using silver filtration decreases by approximately 80% while maintaining the diagnostic quality of the examination. The protocol using silver filtration and artificial intelligence can therefore be a common method of examination during native computed tomography (CT) of the chest as another method for reducing radiation dose. The same image acquisition method can already be used for other native CT examinations, e.g.: lung Ca screening, native CT of the abdomen for urological indications, but also to exclude some sudden abdominal events, examination of bones and joints, spine, etc.

Pre-operative grading of meningioma using multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging with inclusion of diffusion weighted imaging and susceptibility weighted imagingOriginal article

Alaa Nasser Hussain Zaher, Khalid Esmat Allam, Mohamed Elsayed Ali Nosseir, Eman A. F. Darwish, Mohamed Kamal Ahmed Teiba

Ces radiol. 2025, 79(3):196-207 | DOI: 10.55095/CesRadiol2025/021  

This study proposes a practical, clinically relevant approach to pre-operative grading of meningioma, using a multiparametric MRI protocol that combines diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI).

Computed Tomography Technicians and Radiographers' Competency toward different CT Exposure parameters: A cross-sectional StudyOriginal article

Haneen E. Abuanzeh, Ayman M. Al-Qaaneh

Ces radiol. 2025, 79(3):208-217 | DOI: 10.55095/CesRadiol2025/022  

Computed Tomography (CT) imaging has become a vital component to enhance medical diagnosis. To ensure the safety and effectiveness of CT imaging procedures, radiographers and CT technicians must be proficient in controlling CT exposure settings.
