- Multidetector CT Evaluation of the Postoperative Pancreas(2012) YAMAUCHI, Fernando I.; ORTEGA, Cinthia D.; BLASBALG, Roberto; ROCHA, Manoel S.; JUKEMURA, Jose; CERRI, Giovanni G.Several pancreatic diseases may require surgical treatment, with most of these procedures classified as resection or drainage. Resection procedures, which are usually performed to remove pancreatic tumors, include pancreatoduodenectomy, central pancreatectomy, distal pancreatectomy, and total pancreatectomy. Drainage procedures are usually performed to treat chronic pancreatitis after the failure of medical therapy and include the Puestow and Frey procedures. The type of surgery depends not only on the patient's symptoms and the location of the disease, but also on the expertise of the surgeon. Radiologists should become familiar with these surgical procedures to better understand postoperative changes in anatomic findings. Multidetector computed tomography is the modality of choice for identifying normal findings after surgery, postoperative complications, and tumor recurrence in patients who have undergone pancreatic surgery.

- Necrose pancreática delimitada e outros conceitos atuais na avaliação radiológica da pancreatite aguda(2014) CUNHA, Elen Freitas de Cerqueira; ROCHA, Manoel de Souza; PEREIRA, Fábio Payão; BLASBALG, Roberto; BARONI, Ronaldo HuebAcute pancreatitis is an inflammatory condition caused by intracellular activation and extravasation of inappropriate proteolytic enzymes determining destruction of pancreatic parenchyma and peripancreatic tissues. This is a fairly common clinical condition with two main presentations, namely, endematous pancreatitis - a less severe presentation -, and necrotizing pancreatitis - the most severe presentation that affects a significant part of patients. The radiological evaluation, particularly by computed tomography, plays a fundamental role in the definition of the management of severe cases, especially regarding the characterization of local complications with implications in the prognosis and in the definition of the therapeutic approach. New concepts include the subdivision of necrotizing pancreatitis into the following presentations: pancreatic parenchymal necrosis with concomitant peripancreatic tissue necrosis, and necrosis restricted to peripancreatic tissues. Moreover, there was a systematization of the terms acute peripancreatic fluid collection, pseudocyst, post-necrotic pancreatic/peripancreatic fluid collections and walled-off pancreatic necrosis. The knowledge about such terms is extremely relevant to standardize the terminology utilized by specialists involved in the diagnosis and treatment of these patients.
- Magnetic resonance imaging of the vagina: an overview for radiologists with emphasis on clinical decision making(2015) FERREIRA, Daian Miranda; BEZERRA, Régis Otaviano França; ORTEGA, Cinthia Denise; BLASBALG, Roberto; VIANA, Públio César Cavalcante; MENEZES, Marcos Roberto de; ROCHA, Manoel de SouzaAbstract: Magnetic resonance imaging is a method with high contrast resolution widely used in the assessment of pelvic gynecological diseases. However, the potential of such method to diagnose vaginal lesions is still underestimated, probably due to the scarce literature approaching the theme, the poor familiarity of radiologists with vaginal diseases, some of them relatively rare, and to the many peculiarities involved in the assessment of the vagina. Thus, the authors illustrate the role of magnetic resonance imaging in the evaluation of vaginal diseases and the main relevant findings to be considered in the clinical decision making process.
