of radiological anatomy is contained in the second box. The radiologist must be aware of normal, frequent, and infrequent anatomical configurations, and should be able to translate the CT appearance of structures into the equivalent MR signal (and vice versa). The third box holds the knowledge of the “neighbors”– the radiologist should know what information surgeons and radiation and medical oncologists need to have to plan a proper treatment, in order to provide all the necessary information. This aspect implies that the radiologist must be up-to-date with all the advances in the field of TES and additional treatment options. Hence, the importance of a reporting checklist is highlighted. The fourth and last box details the knowledge of a specific “enemy,” i.e., to be aware of the expected patterns of spread and imaging appearance of neoplasms, which widely vary according to histology.
