INTRODUCTION: Fortified expressed breast milk (FEBM) is a standard of care for premature and low birth weight neonates, but comes with an elevated risk of a rare but re-emergent pathology called milk curd obstruction (MCO). Little is known about normal sonographic appearances of bowel contents in this feeding setting, making the recognition of abnormalities difficult. Thus, we aimed to describe appearances that may be considered typical pre- and post-fortifier inclusion. METHODS: Ten neonates of <32 weeks' gestation or a birth weight of <1,800 g recruited from Auckland City Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care between 1/5/2019 and 10/9/2019 received bowel ultrasounds within 24 h before and 10-14 days after starting FEBM...

INTRODUCTION: To compare diagnostic accuracy of contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) with standard 2D digital mammography (equivalent to low-energy image; LEM) for detection of multifocal and multicentric breast cancer and evaluation of tumour size and disease extent for preoperative planning. METHODS: Biopsy proven breast cancer patients who underwent CEM preoperatively between January 2021 and January 2023 were included in this study. CEM and LEM images were independently reviewed by at least two blinded readers...

Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) has the potential to improve paediatric cancer care by reducing radiation exposure and thus long-term toxicities. Ethical concerns and debates surrounding the treatment, such as eligibility and accessibility, are ongoing in Australia. The Australian Bragg Centre for Proton Therapy and Research (ABCPTR) (named after Sir William Henry Bragg who described the Bragg peak in his laboratory at the University of Adelaide in 1903) aims to increase access to PBT in Australasia and offer a patient-centred care approach...

REVIEW
Nicholas Brown
The practice of interventional oncology (IO) embodies all the qualities that one would expect to find in a modern, value-based healthcare system. A dynamic, cutting-edge specialty like IO uses highly-targeted, minimally-invasive, image-guided techniques to deliver cost-effective, personalised medicine for cancer patients. Unfortunately, the technical and clinical sophistication of IO is not matched by the reimbursement models and funding arrangements in Australia to fully support this critical component of patient care...

REVIEW

Percutaneous treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by means of thermal ablation (TA) has been introduced in clinical guidelines as a potentially curative treatment for the early stages of the disease since the early 2000s. Due to its safety profile and cost-effectiveness, TA can be offered as a first-line treatment for patients with HCC smaller than 3 cm. Thermal ablative techniques are in fact widely available at many centres worldwide and include radiofrequency (RF) and microwave (MW) ablation, with the latter increasingly applied in clinical practice in the last decade...

Artificial intelligence is a rapidly evolving area of technology whose integration into healthcare delivery infrastructure is predicted to have profound implications for medicine delivery in the 21st century. Artificial intelligence as it relates to healthcare is a term used to cover a wide scope of computer-based algorithms whose application varies from patient selection to enhancements in imaging and postoperative prognostication. This article reviews the literature to contextualise how AI is currently being implemented in interventional radiology...

INTRODUCTION: A retrospective observational study of the short-term efficacy and safety of using glue embolization, namely n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA), in bronchial artery embolization (BAE) and comparison with the literature. The main aim of the study is to display the safety of this embolic material through standardization of interventional procedure for consideration of NBCA as a possible primary embolic agent in cases of BAE. METHODS: A total of 35 BAE was performed in 31 patients with acute haemoptysis after failure of bronchoscopic therapy using NBCA...

Imaging and image processing is the fundamental pillar of interventional oncology in which diagnostic, procedure planning, treatment and follow-up are sustained. Knowing all the possibilities that the different image modalities can offer is capital to select the most appropriate and accurate guidance for interventional procedures. Despite there is a wide variability in physicians preferences and availability of the different image modalities to guide interventional procedures, it is important to recognize the advantages and limitations for each of them...

INTRODUCTION: We aimed to evaluate the changing patterns in the management of glioblastoma (GBM) and impact on survival outcomes over a 20-year period. METHODS: This is a retrospective study of patients diagnosed with GBM between 2001 and 2020, who had radiation therapy (RT) in an Australian institution. The primary outcomes were changes in treatment modalities (including surgery, RT, and chemotherapy) over time and overall survival (OS). Multivariable Cox regressions were used to evaluate factors associated with OS, including age, sex, ECOG performance status, treatment modalities, treatment facility, and year of treatment...

INTRODUCTION: Urolithiasis is frequently followed up with a low-dose computed tomography of the kidneys ureters and bladder (LD-CTKUB) with doses typically less than 3 millisieverts. Although X-ray is a lower dose (0.5-1.1 mSv) alternative for follow up, it has lower diagnostic accuracy and is limited to radiopaque calculi. This study aims to compare the diagnostic accuracy of sub-millisievert ultra-low dose CT (ULD-CTKUB) against X-ray KUB for the follow up of urolithiasis when both are compared against the standard of care of a low-dose CT KUB (LD-CTKUB)...

INTRODUCTION: Computed tomography angiograms (CTAs) are useful in detecting vascular injury. There is a lack of consensus regarding the indications of CTAs in limb trauma, leading to overutilisation of CTAs in some centres and exposing patients to unnecessary harm. Thus, the aim of this study is to define the appropriate indications for CTAs in limb trauma. METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort study of consecutive CTAs performed in a tertiary hospital from January to December 2022...

INTRODUCTION: Women comprise almost 30% of practising clinical radiologists in Australia. Despite three-quarters of clinical radiologists working in private practice, there is limited research regarding the experience of female radiologists in private practice and issues surrounding work-life balance. The primary aim of this study was to identify gender issues within private radiology and investigate work-life balance, focusing on issues relevant for female practitioners. METHODS: Clinical radiologists working in private practice at five major Australian private radiology service providers were sent an email on behalf of the researchers, containing study information and a link to an online questionnaire...

INTRODUCTION: The global burden of cancer and the ageing population is increasing, resulting in an increase in cancer incidence among elderly patients. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes and safety profile of radiotherapy in nonagenarians and to contribute to the existing knowledge on radiotherapy in elderly patients.

REVIEW
Franco Orsi
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer and one of the most important causes of death in women. Surgery is the standard therapy for breast cancer and in the last decades evolved towards a more conservative approach, with lumpectomy, followed by radiation therapy, the most common option. Unfortunately, up to 40% of women affected by BC will develop metastases and will receive systemic therapy, which improves survival and quality of life. Interventional oncology (IO), thanks to the improvement in technology and clinical experience, is gaining an important role in the field of breast cancer, both in treating the primary tumour and also in metastasis in well-selected cases...

Histiocytoses are rare multi-system disorders marked by abnormal histiocyte cell proliferation, affecting children with diverse clinical presentations. Classified into five groups in 2016, including Langerhans-related (L), cutaneous (C), malignant (M), Rosai-Dorfman disease (R) and haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (H), newer entities such as ALK-positive histiocytosis have also emerged, heralding the era of molecular (sub)classification. Common entities include Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD), Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) and haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)...
