Myelopathy is defined as rapidly developing muscle weakness, sensory deficit, and loss of bowel and bladder sphincter control. The differential for atraumatic myelopathy includes both extrinsic and intrinsic causes, with the former including disc herniations with compressive myelopathy, osteomyelitis with epidural abscess, and leptomeningeal spread of disease whereas the latter includes acute inflammatory processes like Guillain-Barre syndrome or demyelinating disease, and spinal cord tumors.

Foreign bodies (FBs) may pose diagnostic difficulty to radiologists for a number of reasons, as the unaccustomed items, though not uncommon, can often comprise incidental or unexpected findings on the radiologic evaluation, inappropriate position of variable objects can be deliberate, accidental or due to assault, and urgent discovery of the potentially harmful material can be challenging. Because FBs can practically be found in all major organ systems of the human body and may occasionally intimidate normal activity and function, early and specific diagnosis can have a significant impact on treatment—that is where radiologists play a vital role helping the clinicians avoid unproductive diagnostic odysseys.

Pericardial effusion is a common finding in clinical practice. It can present incidentally asymptomatically or as a manifestation of systemic or cardiac disease. According to its commitment, it can be classified into mild effusions, generally asymptomatic, up to cardiac tamponade, which can endanger the patient's life. Recent advances make it possible to establish the presence and assess the size of the pericardial effusion, its hemodynamic impact, and clarify the etiology. The aim of this article is to provide an update on the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to pericardial effusion.

Immunotherapy has evolved and has revolutionized clinical oncology in recent years, achieving unprecedented clinical responses and outcomes. Precision medicine has the specific goal to treat the disease while limiting the damages derived from treatments. For that reason, it is important for radiologists to understand treatment response to immunotherapy, as development and approval of immunotherapeutics is increasing steadily. This article aims to educate radiologists on the mechanisms, benefits, and pitfalls of assessing immunotherapy response with molecular imaging.

“Pulmonary vascular disease” is a broad term that includes any condition that affects the blood vessels within the lungs. Most of these pathologies have similar radiologic findings, thus clinical and histopathologic complements are essential tools for an appropriate diagnosis. This article provides methodologic radiology guidelines to approach the diagnosis of the most frequent pathologies that involve pulmonary vascularity.
