This document discusses the imaging features of various cystic lesions of the pancreas. It begins by describing pseudocysts, which typically occur after acute pancreatitis and appear as well-defined fluid collections on imaging. It then covers the common cystic pancreatic neoplasms such as serous cystadenomas, mucinous cystic neoplasms, and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN). Key distinguishing imaging features between these lesions include their location in the pancreas, presence of septations, calcifications, and communication with the pancreatic duct. The document provides imaging examples and emphasizes the importance of differentiating malignant from benign cystic lesions.
This document discusses cystic pancreatic tumours, focusing on intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN). IPMNs are rare cystic tumours arising from the pancreatic duct epithelium that cause duct dilation and mucin secretion. On imaging, main duct IPMN displays diffuse or segmental pancreatic duct dilation filled with mucin, while branch duct IPMN shows single or multiple dilated side branches. Mural nodules or solid components indicate higher malignancy risk. Surgical resection is recommended for main duct IPMN due to high malignancy risk, while branch duct IPMN may be surveilled if small with no malignant features. Differential diagnosis includes serous cystadenoma, mucinous cystic ne

Spleen; Imaging Anatomy, Investigations and PathologyAli Aboelsouad
This document provides an overview of spleen imaging anatomy, investigations, and pathology. It discusses the gross anatomy and blood supply of the spleen. Common imaging investigations include plain radiography, ultrasound, CT, and MRI. The document describes normal spleen appearances on different modalities and how they are used to detect various congenital anomalies, masses like cysts, hemangiomas, and lymphomas, infiltrative diseases, and other conditions like splenic infarction. Percutaneous biopsy techniques for the spleen are also reviewed.
CT and MR imaging are useful for evaluating the spleen. CT typically shows splenic tissue with homogeneous attenuation of 40-60 HU. The spleen normally enhances heterogeneously after intravenous contrast. MR also evaluates the spleen using T1- and T2-weighted sequences. Infectious processes like abscesses, tuberculosis, and Pneumocystis carinii can involve the spleen. Abscesses may contain fluid, gas, or septations. Tuberculosis can cause irregular low attenuation areas or infarcts. Pneumocystis carinii causes focal low attenuation lesions and calcifications. Other conditions like cysts, inflammatory pseudotumors, and fluid collections associated with pancreatitis can also occur in the spleen
The spleen is located in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen. It filters blood and fights infections. The spleen develops from embryonic tissue and is supplied by the splenic artery and drained by the splenic vein. It can vary in size and shape. Accessory spleens are common. Injuries from trauma are most often seen in the spleen. Conditions like infections, cancers, blood disorders can cause abnormalities. Imaging with ultrasound, CT scan, MRI and nuclear medicine scans are used to evaluate the spleen.

IMAGING OF INTRACRANIAL PRIMARY NON-NEOPLASTIC CYSTSAmeen Rageh
- Cysts are common brain imaging findings that can be difficult to differentiate based on imaging alone. A location-based approach is helpful for establishing a differential diagnosis.
- Common non-neoplastic, non-infectious cysts include choroid plexus cysts, arachnoid cysts, pineal cysts, and enlarged perivascular (Virchow-Robin) spaces. These cysts have characteristic imaging appearances that can help distinguish them from one another.
- Differentiating cysts may require assessing features such as location within the brain, signal characteristics, enhancement patterns, and associated imaging findings. This location-based algorithm aids in narrowing the diagnostic possibilities.
Imaging of non endocrine tumour of pancreasDev Lakhera
Pancreatic malignancies are typically adenocarcinomas originating from duct cells. CT and MRI are important for staging and detecting signs of unresectability. On CT, pancreatic adenocarcinomas usually appear as ill-defined, hypoenhancing masses with desmoplastic reactions and tendencies to obstruct ducts. Features indicating unresectability include vascular encasement or ingrowth. Cystic pancreatic lesions include serous cystadenomas and mucinous cystic neoplasms, which are often indistinguishable on imaging alone. Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms involve main or branch duct dilation.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.

Or as predominantly solid echogenic mass
16. Transverse US image shows a mass in the
pancreatic head (arrow) containing numerous
small cysts (arrowheads).
17.
18. Serous cystadenoma
• CT scan:
• typically appears as a multi cystic, lobulated mass in the pancreatic head giving
appearance of 'bunch of grapes'
• the individual cysts are typically <20 mm in size and greater than six in number
• a characteristic enhancing central scar may be present which can show associated
stellate calcification
• May appear solid mass , showing hyper vascular enhancement
• There is no communication between cysts and pancreatic duct

22. Serous cystadenoma
• MRI:
• T1: typically hypointense
• T2: Cluster of small hyperintense cysts , and central fibrous scar if present
appears hypointense with delayed post-contrast enhancement of scar
• If signal void seen in central scar…calcification
• T1+contrast: delayed enhancement of septa
23. T2WI sequence
Lesion is multi-cystic
Central low signal area , represents
scar with calcification
24. T2WI demonstrates a lobulated
hyperintense lesion with central scar,
which is characteristic of a SCN
25. Mucinous cystadenoma/Macrocystic
adenoma
• Accounts for 10% cases of pancreatic cystic neoplasms
• Thick-walled uni /multilocular low grade malignant tumor
• Commonly seen in middle aged women , mean age 47yrs(mother lesion)
• Often seen in pancreatic tail and body, rarely in head
• Composed of multi/unilocular large cysts >2 cm and number of cysts usually less
than 6
• Hypo vascular mass
• Amorphous discontinuous peripheral calcification seen in 10-15% of cases
26. Radiographic features
• USG:
A large well-defined cyst containing turbid
contents(low level echoes), likely arising from
the tail of the pancreas , seen in the epigastric
region
27. Mucinous cystadenoma
• CT Scan:
• Appear as rounded or ovoid pancreatic mass with associated peripheral
calcification
• mucinous contents of the lesion may be heterogenous in attenuation
• internal septations may be seen
28. CT-images of a 32 year-old
female
Shows a large cyst in the
pancreatic tail with peripheral
calcification
29. CT images of a 30 year old
female shows
A non-lobulated cystic lesion in the pancreatic
tail with internal enhancing septation
30. Mucinous cystadenoma
• MRI:
Unilocular / mildly septated cystic lesion of homogenous T1 hypo intensity
and T2 hyperintensity
• Thick mildly enhancing septa
• Typically there is no
Communication with pancreatic duct
Or enhancing soft tissue component
31. TIWI post contrast image shows a
large hypointense cystic lesion in
pancreatic tail with mildly
enhancing internal septa
33. Intra-ductal papillary tumors
• Are epithelial pancreatic cystic tumors of mucin-producing cells arising from
pancreatic duct.
• Most frequently identified in older patients,50-60yrs age referred as
“grandfather lesion”.
• Clinically , difficult to distinguish it from chronic pancreatitis . Patients present
with weight loss , obstructive jaundice , and recurrent pancreatitis.
34. IPMN…cont:
• Macroscopically , divided into:
• Main duct type: shows segmental or diffuse distribution , with highest
malignant potential.
• Branch duct type: mostly seen in the head and uncinate process, with
indolent behavior.
• Mixed type lesions
35.
36. Radiographic features
• Most reliable diagnostic finding, communication between cystic lesion and
main pancreatic duct.(Best appreciated on MRCP)
• USG:
• Appear as small thin walled pancreatic cyst or dilated pancreatic duct.
• Diffuse main duct type appears indistinguishable from chronic pancreatitis ,
with duct dilatation and parenchymal atrophy.
• Mural nodule may appear hyper echoic within dilated duct.
37. CT Scan findings:
• Appear as single or multiple pancreatic cysts.
• Main pancreatic duct dilated >5mm
• Communication of mass with pancreatic duct may be difficult to
demonstrate on CT.
38. CT-images of an IPMN with a dilated pancreatic duct (blue arrows).
Note enhancing solid nodule in the pancreatic head (red arrow).
39. MRI features:
• Has largely replaced CT on imaging workup of these lesions
• Main duct IPMN: main pancreatic duct dilated more than 5mm.
• Either segment or entire pancreatic duct is dilated and filled with T1 hypo
and T2 hyper-intense material.
• Dilatation of major/minor papilla bulging into duodenal lumen.
• Pancreatic parenchymal atrophy may be noted.
40. • Signs of malignancy are:
• Pancreatic duct > 8 mm
• Solid nodule in duct , particularly if enhancning
• Mass around the pancreatic duct
41. Branch type IPMN
• Mainly seen in uncinate process>pancreatic tail
• Radiographic features include: dilatation of single or multiple side
branches. Main pancreatic duct may or may not be dilated.
• May have micro or macro-cystic appearance
• Micro-cystic variety has appearances similar to serous cystadenomas , but
communication with pancreatic duct is the diagnostic key.

45. On MRCP the cystic nature is better appreciated
and there is a connection to a widened duct (blue
arrow).
46. In a 73 year old male a hypoechoic lesion was found in the
pancreatic body, that looked like a cystic lesion.
CT also identifies the lesion but isn't of much help.
47. The heavily T2WI nicely
demonstrates the multicystic
lesion with the connection to the
pancreatic duct.
This was diagnosed as a branch-
duct IPMN

50. UNCOMMON NEOPLASMS
• Solid pseudo-papillary neoplasms:
• Rare and usually benign slow growing low grade tumor.
• Many tumors are completely solid and cystic components are secondary to
tumor degeneration
• Seen in young women in 2nd and 3rd decades of life(daughter tumor)
• Greater predilection for pancreatic tail
51. Radiographic features:
• Ultrasound: large well-defined mass with heterogeneous appearance due to
solid and cystic component.
• CT: appear as well-encapsulated lesion with varying solid and cystic
components.
• Enhancing solid areas are typically noted peripherally with cystic spaces seen
centrally.
52. CT-images of a 26 year old woman with a large mass in the
pancreatic head and metastases in the liver.
In the center there is lack of enhancement due to cystic or
necrotic degeneration.
53. MRI:
• Appear as well-defined lesion , with pure solid consistency seen in 80% of
cases.
• Hypo-intense fibrous capsule on T1W1 and T2WI(80-90%)
• Solid component : appears iso to hypo intense on T1WI as compared to
pancreas, and mildly hyper-intense on T2WI.
• High signal intensity foci on T1WI…represent hemoglobin degradation
products from internal hemorrhage(distinctive feature)
54. T2WI shows a well-encapsulated ovoid
hyper-intense mass arising from tail of
pancreas .
