Abstract

The objective of this review is to discuss the clinical and histopathologic features, MRI characteristics, and management options of retroperitoneal cystic masses. Radiologists should be familiar with the MR imaging characteristics of retroperitoneal cystic masses to allow for a refined differential diagnosis, assist with lesion management, and prevent unnecessary invasive procedures.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
