Tc-99m macroaggregate albumin (MAA) scintigraphy was routinely used to estimate the hepatopulmonary shunt prior to Yttrium-90 microsphere therapy. Visualisation of the recanalised
Gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) is the most common mesenchymal neoplasm of the gastrointestinal tract. Common presentations of GIST include early satiety, indigestion, bloating,
Tomotherapy, a form of arc therapy, is often preferred to craniospinal irradiation (CSI) because of its better dose homogeneity when planning target volume and minimising organ risk.

Objective: To evaluate the utilisation and diagnostic accuracy of imaging for suspected appendicitis, in the context of the negative appendicectomy rate (NAR).
Objective: Penile cancer is a rare disease and more than 95% of the disease is squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). This study aimed to report data of penile SCC from a regional institution in Hong Kong.
Objectives: To investigate the diagnostic performance of ultrasound-guided pleural biopsy, and discuss its clinical applications, limitations, and pitfalls.
Objectives: To assess whether cetuximab (C225) is equivalent to cisplatin (CDDP) with concurrent radical radiotherapy (RT) for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LAHNSCC) by comparing the treatment outcome of two patient cohorts treated in our institute.

Objective: To determine whether the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value measured on picture archiving and communication system (PACS) workstation is helpful in prediction of high-grade meningioma (World Health Organization grade II and III).
Epidermal inclusion cyst is a common cutaneous condition. However, epidermal cyst deep in the breast parenchyma is rare. Diagnosis can be difficult if there is no suspicious clinical history. An onion-ring
