Description

There are undoubtedly some aspects of radiology where the ability to produce a really useful and accurate report is dependent upon having the requisite anatomical knowledge. I think that CT of the sinuses certainly qualifies as one of these, and in this issue the salient anatomical points and their significance in relation to disease is clearly explained. Other articles cover the utility of high resolution computed tomography in the lung, and imaging of the adrenal glands. The latter covers not only new methods of investigation of known or suspected adrenal pathology but also how to approach the evaluation of the incidentally discovered adrenal mass, which seem to crop up with increasing frequency as the resolution of our CT scanners improves. One of the newer interventional radiological techniques using endovascular stenting for abdominal aortic aneurysms is also reviewed together with ultrasound guided transrectal biopsy of the prostate. Last but not least Dr Dubbins gives us a clear and down to earth overview of justification of radiological requests.

I hope you enjoy this issue.
