Incidental Occurrence of Papillary Renal Carcinoma in Kidney Transplant Recipient: A Case Report

Sarah Murad, Mohammad Alsayed, Bilal Rammal, Salah Shihata, Danah Krimli and Stephen Murphy

Renal transplantation is recognized as the optimal treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD), offering improved survival rates and quality of life compared to dialysis. However, renal transplant recipients face a significantly increased risk of developing renal cell carcinoma (RCC), with a risk approximately five to six times higher than that of the general population.

Case Study: Iatrogenic Hematoma as a Complication of the Trapezius Squeeze Test

Kanza Mirza, Matthew Stewart, Stefan Knezevic and Daniele Wiseman

Clinicians often use noxious stimuli to assess consciousness in patients with impaired levels. The sternal rub and trapezius squeeze test (TST) induce nociceptive signals, with the sternal rub being more commonly used. However, due to its risk of causing abrasive injury, the TST has become the preferred technique.

Evolving Approach and Current Perspectives of Gallbladder Polyps and Adenomyomatosis

Yadhunandana Prabhakara, Nihar Madhavaram and Madgula Niharika Sarma

The gallbladder is commonly examined for incidental findings. Since gallbladder malignancy has a poor prognosis, distinguishing benign from malignant lesions is crucial. Radiologists and sonographers should therefore be aware of common gallbladder incidental findings, which will undoubtedly increase with increasing medical imaging use.

A Cases Series of Discrepancies in Lung Shunt Fraction Calculation Between 2D Planar and 3D Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography Imaging for Y-90 Radioembolization in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients with Ascites

Paula Gamero Kubota, MD, Robert Wagner, MD, Christopher Molvar, MD, James Halama, PhD and Judy R. James, PhD

Accurate Lung Shunt Fraction (LSF) is essential for safe Yttrium-90 (Y90) radioembolization (TARE) treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) in patients with ascites. However, traditional 2D imaging might be inaccurate for LSF calculation in this population.

Welcome Note

Journal of Medical Imaging and Case Reports (MICR) is dedicated to clinical and medical research intrinsic to all imaging modalities, including optical, ultrasound, magnetic resonance, x-ray computed tomography, nuclear imaging for diagnostic and treatment purposes.

With increasing diagnostic capabilities of medical imaging techniques, the number of imaging-based procedures is increasing globally. Effective, safe, and high quality imaging is important for medical decision-making and can reduce unnecessary procedures. Through publication of rigorously peer-reviewed scholarly communications, MICR will become a world-class scientific journal and an invaluable resource for researchers, clinicians, healthcare professionals across different therapeutic and research areas.

In view of the rapid advances in medical imaging research, we promise short turnaround time for peer-review process. A manuscript will receive initial review comments and editorial decision within few weeks. Our goal is to publish accepted manuscripts within 6-8 weeks of initial submission.
