Lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a chronic, debilitating disease with a significant global burden. A number of diagnostic imaging techniques exist, including computed tomography angiography (CTA) and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CEMRA), to aid in PAD diagnosis and subsequent treatment planning. Due to concerns of renal toxicity or nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) for iodinated and gadolinium-based contrasts, respectively, a number of non-enhanced MRA (NEMRA) protocols are being increasingly used in PAD diagnosis. These techniques, including time of flight and phase contrast MRA, have previously demonstrated poor image quality, long acquisition times, and/or susceptibility to artifacts when compared to existing contrast-enhanced techniques. In recent years, Quiescent-Interval Single-Shot (QISS) MRA has been developed to overcome these limitations in NEMRA methods, with promising results. Here, we review the various screening and diagnostic tests currently used for PAD. The various NEMRA protocols are discussed, followed by a comprehensive review of the literature on QISS MRA to date. A particular emphasis is placed on QISS MRA feasibility studies and studies comparing the diagnostic accuracy and image quality of QISS MRA versus other diagnostic imaging techniques in PAD.

ABSTRACT Sphenoid sinus lesions can present with a multitude of symptoms/signs including ophthalmic disturbances. We describe a total of five patients, of which two had mucoceles and rest three had fungal infection. Ophthalmic symptoms/signs were the ones we were really interested in. We also present one case which had isolated sphenoid fungal sinus. We also give details of their presentation, investigations and treatment. Possible ocular manifestations of mucoceles and the diagnostic imaging techniques used are discussed. The treatment of mucoceles is reviewed. It is stressed that a team approach involving the ophthalmologist, otolaryngologist and radiologist is essential for accurate diagnosis and management.

Subcutaneous metastases from clear cell endometrial carcinoma are an uncommon event and tumor implantations are rarely found with diagnostic imaging techniques. The nodular form is the most frequent type of subcutaneous metastasis from genital system tumors, even though plaque-like and infiltrative forms have also been reported. We report the first case of subcutaneous metastasis from clear cell endometrial carcinoma whose progression from the early nodular to the lymphangitic infiltrative form was studied with computed tomography (CT). Differential diagnostic problems are discussed.
