以前紹介しました、「RadioGraphics」誌と似たような画像診断総説雑誌を紹介します。

European Society of Radiology（ESR）の総説中心の電子学会誌です。
Springer発行の画像診断雑誌でもあります。

本誌は、教育的総説が中心で一部原著論文もあります。
内容は「RadioGraphics」誌に似ていますが、少し易しめで放射線科専門医取得前後レベルか、
ちょっとマニアックな内容のいずれかで、「RadioGraphics」誌とあまりかぶりません。
隔月刊ですが、ECRやESGARの抄録集も掲載されます。
最も有り難いことは、全てオープンアクセスであることです。

最新号（February 2018, Volume 9, Issue 1）から、下記の3論文を紹介します。

Objectives This article reviews our experience and describes the literature findings of granulomatous diseases of the breast and axilla. Methods After approval of the Institutional Review Board was obtained, the surgical pathological records from January 2000 to January 2017 were searched for the keyword granulomatous. Clinical, imaging and histology findings were reviewed by both a fellowship-trained radiologist and a breast-imaging consultant radiologist, reviewing 127 patients (age range, ...

・Breast granulomatous are rare but can mimic breast carcinoma on imaging.
・Imaging with clinical and laboratory findings can correctly diagnosis specific granulomatous breast diseases.

Evaluation of the solitary pulmonary nodule: size matters, but do not ignore ...

Abstract Subsequent to the widespread use of multidetector computed tomography and growing interest in lung cancer screening, small pulmonary nodules are more frequently detected. The differential diagnosis for a solitary pulmonary nodule is extremely broad and includes both benign and malignant causes. Recognition of early lung cancers is vital, since stage at diagnosis is crucial for prognosis. Estimation of the probability of malignancy is a challenging task, but crucial for follow-up and ...

• Size of a pulmonary nodule is important, but morphological assessment should not be underestimated.
• Lung nodules should be evaluated on thin section CT, in both lung and mediastinal window setting.
• Features associated with benignity include a triangular morphology, internal fat and calcifications.
• Spiculation, pleural retraction and notch sign are highly suggestive of a malignant nature.
• Complex features (e.g. bubble-like lucencies) are highly indicative of a malignant nature.
