12. Interventional radiological management of complications in renal transplantationPeter Popović, Katarina Šurlan Popović, 2004, pregledni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Background. The most frequent radiologically evaluated and treated complications in renal transplantation are perirenal and renal fluid collection and abnormalities of the vasculature and collecting system. Renal and perirenal fluid collection is usually treated successfully with percutaneous drainage. Doppler US, MRA and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) are most important in the evaluation of vascular complications of renal transplantation and management of the endovaseular therapy. Conclusions. Stenosis, the most common vascular complication, occurs in 1% to 12% of transplanted renal arteries and represents a potentially curable cause of hypertension following transplantation and/or renal dysfunction. Treatment with percutaneous transluntinal renal angioplasty (PTRA) or PTRA with stent has been technically successful in 82 to 92% of the cases, and graft salvage rate has ranged from 80-100%. Complications such as arterial and vein thrombosis are uncommon. Intrarenal A/V fistulas and pseudoaneurysms are occasionally seen after biopsy, the treatment reguires superselective embolisation. Urologic complications are relatively uncommon; they consist predominantly of the urinary leaks and urethral obstruction. Interventional treatment consists of percutaneous nephrostomy, balloon dilation, insertion ofthe double J stents, metallic stent placement and external drainage of the extrarenal collections. The aim of the paper is to review the role of interventional radiology in the management of complications in renal transplantation. Objavljeno v DiRROS: 13.02.2024; Ogledov: 293; Prenosov: 75

14. Defecography: a report on 35 casesBreda Jamar, Katarina Šurlan Popović, 2000, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Purpose. To evaluate indications in the patients referred for defecography to our Institute between October 1996 and December 1999. Patients and methods. Inthis period, 35 patients (31 women and 4 men, their mean age being 56,5 and34,5 years, respectively) with defecation disorders disorders of 1 months to 17 years of duration were referred to us for defecography - 26 from proctology specialists and 9 from internal medical out-patient departments. After the rectum was filled with thick barium paste, spot shots from lateral position were made in different phases of defecation, with the patient sittingon a specially designed commode. Results. Rectocele was found in 21 cases, in 9 cases in association with rectorectal intussusception, in 3 with rectoanal intussusception and in 2 with herniation of rectal wall into ishiorectal fossa. Prolapse was found in 2 cases, and 4 rectorectal intussusception, 1 rectoanal intussusception and 3 fistulas were diagnosed. The findings were normal in only one case, while in 3 cases defectography showed functional abnormalities. In female patients, symptoms started after gynaecological operation in 11 cases and 6 cases after delivery. Eight women had to press perineum with their hand to faciliate defecation. Conclusions. Defecography proved useful in clarifying the pathology underlying patient's difficulties. Objavljeno v DiRROS: 23.01.2024; Ogledov: 333; Prenosov: 94

15. Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI in malignant pleural mesothelioma : prediction of outcome based on DCE-MRI measurements in patients undergoing cytotoxic chemotherapyMartina Vivoda Tomšič, Peter Korošec, Viljem Kovač, Sotirios Bisdas, Katarina Šurlan Popović, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) response rate to chemotherapy is low. The identification of imaging biomarkers that could help guide the most effective therapy approach for individual patients is highly desirable. Our aim was to investigate the dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MR parameters as predictors for progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with MPM treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Methods: Thirty-two consecutive patients with MPM were enrolled in this prospective study. Pretreatment and intratreatment DCE-MRI were scheduled in each patient. The DCE parameters were analyzed using the extended Tofts (ET) and the adiabatic approximation tissue homogeneity (AATH) model. Comparison analysis, logistic regression and ROC analysis were used to identify the predictors for the patient's outcome. Results: Patients with higher pretreatment ET and AATH-calculated Ktrans and ve values had longer OS (P≤.006). Patients with a more prominent reduction in ET-calculated Ktrans and kep values during the early phase of chemotherapy had longer PFS (P =.008). No parameter was identified to predict PFS. Pre-treatment ET-calculated Ktrans was found to be an independent predictive marker for longer OS (P=.02) demonstrating the most favourable discrimination performance compared to other DCE parameters with an estimated sensitivity of 89% and specificity of 78% (AUC 0.9, 95% CI 0.74-0.98, cut off > 0.08 min-1). Conclusions: In the present study, higher pre-treatment ET-calculated Ktrans values were associated with longer OS. The results suggest that DCE-MRI might provide additional information for identifying MPM patients that may respond to chemotherapy.

16. Radiološka slikovna diagnostika gliomov pri odraslihAna Leben, Katarina Šurlan Popović, 2019, ni določena Povzetek: Gliomi so najpogostejši primarni možganski tumorji. Po novih smernicah jih razlikujemo na podlagi molekularnih označevalnikov, kar daje pomembno podlago za razvoj zdravljenja po meri bolnika. Tipizacija tumorjev je lahko invazivna s pomočjo biopsije in neinvazivna. Zadnja v zadnjem času pridobiva veliko vlogo zaradi razvoja radiogenomike, ki preučuje povezavo med slikovnimi fenotipi tumorjev in genomiko. Magnetnoresonančna ocena tumorjev, pri kateri uporabljamo številne standardne in funkcionalne sekvence, omogoča neinvazivno tipizacijo tumorjev glede na specifične morfološke značilnosti posameznih vrst tumorjev s posameznimi molekularnimi označevalci. Po pregledu obstoječe literature so avtorji v članku opisali slikovne značilnosti treh tumorskih genotipov, in sicer mutacije izocitratne dehidrogenaze, kodelecije 1p19q in metilacije promotorja metilgvanin metiltansferaze. Kljub hitremu razvoju radiogenomike primanjkuje obširnih študij z dovolj velikimi in standardiziranimi vzorci bolnikov, ki bi podale zanesljivejše rezultate.

17. Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI of malignant pleural mesothelioma : a comparative study of pharmacokinetic models and correlation with mRECIST criteriaMartina Vivoda Tomšič, Sotirios Bisdas, Viljem Kovač, Igor Serša, Katarina Šurlan Popović, 2019, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: BACKGROUND: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare and aggressive thoracic malignancy that is difficult to cure. Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI is a functional imaging technique used to analyze tumor microvascular properties and to monitor therapy response. Purpose of this study was to compare two tracer kinetic models, the extended Tofts (ET) and the adiabatic approximation tissue homogeneity model (AATH) for analysis of DCE-MRI and examine the value of the DCE parameters to predict response to chemotherapy in patients with MPM. METHOD: This prospective, longitudinal, single tertiary radiology center study was conducted between October 2013 and July 2015. Patient underwent DCE-MRI studies at three time points: prior to therapy, during and after cisplatin-based chemotherapy. The images were analyzed using ET and AATH models. In short-term follow-up, the patients were classified as having disease control or progressive disease according to modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (mRECIST) criteria. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to examine specificity and sensitivity of DCE parameters for predicting response to therapy. Comparison tests were used to analyze whether derived parameters are interchangeable between the two models. RESULTS: Nineteen patients form the study population. The results indicate that the derived parameters are not interchangeable between the models. Significant correlation with response to therapy was found for AATH-calculated median pre-treatment efflux rate (kep) showing sensitivity of 83% and specificity of 100% (AUC 0.9). ET-calculated maximal pre-treatment kep showed 100% sensitivity and specificity for predicting treatment response during the early phase of the therapy and reached a favorable trend to significant prognostic value post-therapy. CONCLUSION: Both models show potential in predicting response to therapy in MPM. High pre-treatment kep values suggest MPM disease control post-chemotherapy.

18. Uporabnost slikovno preiskovalnih metod pri določanju HPV statusa karcinomov glave in vratuCene Jerele, Katarina Šurlan Popović, 2018, strokovni članek Povzetek: Karcinomi glave in vratu predstavljajo pomemben zdravstveni problem in so šesti najpogostejši karcinom na svetu. Okoli 90 % karcinomov glave in vratu je ploščatoceličnih karcinomov, ki predstavljajo globalno letno incidenco okoli 650.000, v Sloveniji pa okoli 440 primerov (2015).
V zadnjih desetletjih strmo raste incidenca karcinomov orofarinksa. Vzrok je epidemija okužb s humanim papiloma virusom (HPV), visokorizični tip 16 izoliramo kar iz 40–60 % ploščatoceličnih karcinomov orofarinksa. Bolniki s HPV-pozitivnimi PCKGV imajo občutno boljše preživetje in odzivnost na zdravljenje v primerjavi s HPV-negativnimi, zaradi česar je postalo določanje HPV statusa karcinoma ključno pri načrtovanju zdravljenja in napovedi preživetja. Trenutni zlati standard za dokaz HPV predstavlja pomnoževanje virusne RNA z verižno reakcijo s polimerazo, čedalje večjo veljavo pa dobivajo tudi radiološke slikovno preiskovalne metode. Zaenkrat izključno s pomočjo tovrstnih metod ne moremo rutinsko razlikovati med HPV-pozitivnimi in HPV-negativnimi karcinomi. Kljub temu pa raziskave kažejo na specifične, tudi radiološke lastnosti HPV-pozitivnih karcinomov, ki jih poleg rezultatov ostalih preiskav lahko uporabimo pri določanju HPV statusa. Vrednotimo tako primarni karcinom kot zasevke v bezgavkah. Primarni HPV-pozitivni karcinomi so v primerjavi s HPV-negativnimi običajno manjši, bolje zamejeni, metabolno manj aktivni in z manj nekrozami ter ulceracijami. Značilno se pojavljajo v tonzilarni regiji in na bazi jezika. Zasevki v bezgavkah so pri HPV-pozitivnih karcinomih zgodnejši in pogostejši kot pri HPV-negativnih, poleg tega imajo pogosteje cističen videz.
