放射線診断学において、American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR) がとても役立ちますよ、
ということを以前お話ししましたが、 最新号(September 2020, VOLUME 215 NUMBER 3)から、下記4論文を紹介します。

Review. Septic Arthritis: An Evidence-Based Review of Diagnosis and Image-Guided Aspiration.(AJR 2020;215:568-581.)

Septic arthritisの総説です。

Review. Monogenetic Stroke Syndromes in Children and Young Adults.(AJR 2020;215:695-705.)

小児と若年における脳卒中症候群に関して、非常に多岐にわたり詳細に解説していいる優れものの総説です。

Original Research. Cerebellar Hemangioblastoma: Diagnostic Yield of Contrast-Enhanced Abdominal CT and Whole-Spine MRI as Initial Screening Imaging.(AJR 2020;215:706-712.)

これで、単発小脳血管芽腫症例では、全身スクリーニングは不要と考えられます、とお伝えできそうですね。
In conclusion, the diagnostic yield of abdominal CT and whole-spine MRI was 0% for patients with a single cerebellar hemangioblastoma; therefore, these imaging modalities are unnecessary before genetic testing results are available for such patients. For patients with multiple cerebellar hemangioblastomas, initial screening imaging is necessary because of its high diagnostic yield.

Review. A Review of the Mechanisms and Clinical Implications of Precision Cancer Therapy–Related Toxicity: A Primer for the Radiologist. (AJR 2020;215:770-780.)

Molecular targeted therapy (MTT)と Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs)の毒性に関する総説です。

ところで、July 2020, VOLUME 215 NUMBER 1から、Editor in Chief of AJRが、Thomas H. Berquistから、Andrew B. Rosenkrantz に代わりました。
この新しいEditorに代わって、7月号(July 2020, VOLUME 215 NUMBER 1)から、Editorial. Editor’s Notebook という巻頭コラムが始まり、これにEditorのおすすめの論文のフォーマット・内容が簡潔に記述されています。
これを見ていくだけでも、トレンドがわかるのではと思います。
