Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Imaging methods for the diagnosis of obstetric and gynecological diseases involve the use of various imaging techniques such as ultrasound, MRI, and CT scans in order to assess conditions related to women or fetal diseases. These techniques are used often in daily medical activity and, for this reason, our aim is to welcome interesting and educational papers on imaging related to our field. Additionally, imaging plays a crucial role in pregnancy monitoring, fetal development evaluation, and diagnosing other conditions. The accurate interpretation of imaging results is essential in guiding appropriate treatment and management strategies for patients with obstetric and gynecological diseases.

Dr. Nicolae Gica

CT angiography might be a suitable procedure to avoid arterial puncture in combined intracavitary and interstitial brachytherapy for cervical cancer curatively treated with combined chemoradiation and brachytherapy boost. Data in the literature about this technique are scarce. We introduced this method and collected brachytherapy data from patients treated in our department between May 2021 and April 2024. We analyzed the applicator subtype, needle insertion (planned versus implanted), implanted depth and the role of CT angiography in selecting needle trajectories and insertion depths. None of the patients managed through this protocol experienced atrial puncture and consequent hemorrhage. Needle positions were accurately selected with the aid of CT angiography with proper coverage of brachytherapy targets and avoidance of organs at risk. CT angiography is a promising method for guiding needle insertion during interstitial brachytherapy. Full article
