Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was performed to 103 young patients with breast tumors, detected by ultrasound. All patients underwent MR-mammography with intravenous contrast enhancement, followed by post-processing, construction of curves of accumulation and washout of contrast agent. BI-RADS scale was used to assess detected changes. The results confirm the high importance of MR-mammography in young women with dense breast background, especially in cases when the results of X-ray mammography and ultrasound studies do not put to final diagnosis.

The aim of this study is to identify the anatomical variants of nasal bones structures in Caucasian (middle European and Balkano-Caucasian types) and Mongoloid patients. We performed a retrospective analysis of multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) data of 97 patients with the image processing (multiplanar and 3D-volume rendering). Every kind of ethnic group has their proper specialties and descripted variants of pyriform apertures and nasal bones including its caudal part at the site its conjunction with nasal cartilages. The anatomic variability of these structures forming nasal shape determines the aim (augmentation, reduction) and methods of surgical approach in patients seeking rhinoplasty.

The requirements for X-ray mammographs for various purposes are considered in the article. Based on the analysis of regulatory documents and questioning of doctors, medical and technical requirements for X-ray diagnostic equipment in mammology are formulated. The characteristics of X-ray machines for screening and refining diagnostics of the expert class are presented

A casuistically rare observation of multiple calcifications in the tunica vaginalis of the right testicle in a full-term baby with calcification in the liver and multilocular subependymal cysts is presented. The boy was hospitalized with suspicion of inguinal hernia, an accurate diagnosis was made with ultrasonography. Presumptive etiologic factor was toxoplasmosis. The article contains an extensive review of the literature on calcifications of the scrotum of various etiologies in children of all age groups. All variants of calcifications, presented in the literature, are supplemented by own observations and illustrative material. The possibilities of high-resolution ultrasonography in assessing testicular structures in children are discussed.

Multidetector computed tomography urography (MDСTU) is currently the most widely accepted method for diagnosing diseases of the upper urinary tract, it is increasingly displacing traditional intravenous urography (IVU) as the method of choice. The literature review describes the main indications for CT urography and analyses the possible ways to reduce radiation exposure: the possibility of modifying conventional scanning protocol, split-bolus techniques and dual-energy CT, which allows to create virtual unenhanced datasets. The data of russian and foreign scientific sources concerning the optimum scanning protocol search are summarized, the existing problems are highlighted.

Bilateral occlusion of the internal carotid arteries is a rare pathology, which usually manifests from asymptomatic course to the development of a stroke, and often leading to death. In most of the previously described cases this condition was accompanied by ischemic stroke. We present a clinical case of bilateral occlusion of internal carotid arteries with simultaneous development of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke of the brain. The management of the patient was conservative, the patient's condition was improvement.

Nowadays most experts who follow the modern global medical community trends are aware of the English language knowledge necessity at a basic level at least. The lack of the unified terminology, the multiple items of the same concepts, lots of obsolete terms, incorrect spelling, pronunciation of eponyms especially - all these things are the problem of Russian medical language as well. These factors combination was account the basis for the publications series creation entitled «English Terms Glossary» for the «Radiology - practice» journal, which will be published in subsequent issues.
