Hepatic incidental findings often are seen on cross-sectional imaging examinations of the chest, spine, pelvis, or other nondedicated hepatic imaging. Radiologists are tasked with appropriately triaging, which requires further evaluation, even in the setting of an otherwise limited evaluation. This article reviews common benign entities encountered on ultrasound, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging, along with their characteristic imaging features. Imaging features that are suspicious for malignancy or suggest the need for further evaluation also are discussed. Two algorithms are proposed to guide radiologists in their recommendations based on patient risk factors, focal hepatic abnormality size, and available imaging features.

A surrogate of molecular assays (SOMA) for the clear-cell renal cell carcinoma-specific supervised principal components prognostic gene signature that predicts disease-specific survival and is independent of cancer stage, cancer grade, and performance status was constructed and validated, confirming the feasibility of SOMA construction.

Current role of MR imaging of the scrotum is discussed, with emphasis on the imaging features of extratesticular and intratesticular solid lesions.

Blunt traumatic aortic and tracheobronchial injuries are extremely rare in children. We report a case of a 5 year old male who suffered both of these rare injuries (traumatic aortic rupture and left mainstem bronchus transaction). To our knowledge this combination of injuries has not been previously described in a child. CT with multiplanar images was critical for the detection of both injuries.
