Patients with Barrett's esophagus have a 40 times higher risk of developing esophageal cancer. Barrett's esophagus involves a change in the normal esophageal lining to an abnormal columnar epithelium and can progress from low-grade dysplasia to high-grade dysplasia (a pre-cancerous condition) and eventually invasive cancer. Whole body PET imaging of a patient who underwent radiation therapy 6 weeks prior showed intense uptake in the gastroesophageal junction measuring 5.9cm by 4.9cm, consistent with residual cancer. Focal uptake was also seen in the left adrenal gland and a lymph node, indicating metastatic disease.

Imaging of urinary bladder malignancy
This document discusses imaging techniques for urinary bladder malignancy. CT and MRI are commonly used for staging, with CT being able to detect pelvic sidewall invasion but not reliably distinguishing between some T stages. Ultrasound can identify tumors but has limitations and CEUS provides additional characterization. IVU is less commonly used now but was useful for detecting synchronous upper tract tumors or other abnormalities. Each modality has advantages and limitations for evaluating bladder cancer depending on the clinical scenario.
Presentation1.pptx chapter 8
The document discusses several medical procedures and tests:
Colonoscopy allows doctors to examine the entire large intestine and remove polyps or growths. It is used to screen for colon cancer.
Bitewing x-rays, the most common dental x-rays, are taken with part of the film between the teeth to check for cavities.
Hematochezia is the medical term for passing bright red blood in stool, which can be a symptom of colon cancer or hemorrhoids.
The serum bilirubin test measures waste in the bloodstream and elevated levels can indicate liver disease.
Mixed mucinous signet ring ca colon
This case report describes a 44-year-old male who presented with abdominal pain, vomiting, and loss of appetite. Imaging showed signs of intestinal obstruction. During surgery, a stricture was found in the sigmoid colon along with free fluid and dilated bowel loops. Histopathological examination of the resected colon found a mixed mucinous-signet ring carcinoma, with tumor cells infiltrating the entire colon wall. This rare type of colorectal cancer contains both extracellular mucin pools and signet ring cells with intracellular mucin vacuoles. The patient's prognosis is poor due to the high signet ring cell component of the tumor.
Carcinomatose Peritoneal e outras Anomalias
1. The peritoneum is a serous membrane that lines the abdominal wall and covers the abdominal organs.
2. It secretes peritoneal fluid which reduces friction between organs and helps fight infection by containing it through adhesions.
3. Ultrasound, CT, and MRI can help identify peritoneal carcinomatosis but have limitations in detecting small tumor deposits. Diagnosis requires direct visualization during laparoscopy or laparotomy.
Esofago Generalità
The document describes the anatomy of the esophagus and surrounding structures. It lists key components of the esophagus including the squamocolumnar junction, esophageal sphincter, aortic arch, diaphragm, cricoid cartilage, and bifurcation of the trachea. It also images the esophageal muscles contracted and relaxed around a bolus of food passing through the esophagus.

This document contains profiles of 28 patients who underwent endoscopic ultrasound exams. For each patient, it includes their profile information, clinical diagnosis, relevant imaging findings, endoscopic ultrasound findings, and histopathology report results. The profiles cover a range of diagnoses including pancreatic masses, lymphadenopathy, liver lesions, and more. Endoscopic ultrasound identified masses, cysts, and enlarged lymph nodes. Biopsies were taken and histopathology provided diagnostic confirmation for conditions such as cancer, tuberculosis, and benign lesions.
Interpret axr and imaging of gist system
The document provides guidance on interpreting abdominal radiographs by describing the process for systematic evaluation and key features to identify indications of various gastrointestinal pathologies. It also outlines appropriate follow up imaging modalities like CT, ultrasound, or fluoroscopy based on presenting symptoms and stability of the patient to further evaluate abnormalities or stage diseases. A variety of common gastrointestinal conditions and findings on different imaging exams are illustrated through examples.
Esophagial carcinoma
The esophagus is a muscular tube that transports food from the pharynx to the stomach. Esophageal cancer most often occurs in the lower third of the esophagus. Risk factors include chronic irritation from smoking, alcohol, and hot foods. Symptoms include difficulty swallowing and weight loss. Diagnosis involves endoscopy with biopsy. Treatment depends on the stage but may include surgery, radiation, intubation or bypass for inoperable tumors. The prognosis remains poor due to late diagnosis but endoscopic screening of high risk patients such as those with Barrett's esophagus can detect early cancers with a better outlook.
Tracheo oesophageal fistula atresia Everything
The document discusses esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula (EA-TEF). It describes the embryological development of the condition. EA-TEF results from failure of fusion of the tracheoesophageal septum during development. The incidence is 1 in 3,570 to 1 in 4,500 births. There are various anatomical classifications of EA-TEF. Associated anomalies occur in 58% of cases, most commonly cardiac and gastrointestinal defects. Diagnosis involves clinical examination and radiological investigations like chest x-ray. Treatment involves surgical repair either via thoracotomy or thoracoscopy to reconnect the esophagus. Post-operative complications can include anastomotic leaks, strictures and recurrent fistulae.
Diaphragmatic hernia
This report discusses imaging findings for a 19-month-old female patient being evaluated for a suspected lung abscess. The imaging shows a hiatal hernia where part of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm. Specifically, it appears to be a paraesophageal type hernia where the gastroesophageal junction remains in the normal position but part of the stomach herniates into the chest. The report further describes the diagnosis and types of diaphragmatic and hiatal hernias seen on various imaging modalities like ultrasound, chest radiograph, CT and MRI.
Tracheo esophageal fistula
This document discusses the anatomy, embryology, classification, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and management of esophageal atresia with tracheo-esophageal fistula (TEF). It notes that TEF occurs due to incomplete separation of the foregut during embryological development. The classification system describes the different types of atresia and fistula presentations. Surgical repair aims to divide the fistula and perform an end-to-end anastomosis of the esophageal pouches. Long-term complications can include tracheomalacia, gastroesophageal reflux, and swallowing and motility issues.
Tracheo esophageal fistula
This document discusses the anatomy, embryology, classification, clinical features, diagnosis, and management of esophageal atresia with tracheo-esophageal fistula (TEF). Key points include:
1) TEF results from incomplete separation of the foregut from the laryngotracheal groove during embryological development.
2) There are various classifications of TEF including the Vogt and Gross system. Type C, with upper pouch atresia and lower pouch fistula, accounts for 85% of cases.
3) Clinical features include frothing at the mouth, choking, and cyanosis with feeding. Diagnosis is made with chest x-rays and es
Presentation1, radiological imaging of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis.
Ultrasonography is the preferred imaging method for diagnosing hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. Key findings on ultrasound include thickening of the pyloric muscle greater than 3mm and elongation of the pyloric channel greater than 17mm. Doppler ultrasound can also detect increased blood flow to the hypertrophied pyloric muscle and mucosa. While upper gastrointestinal studies with barium can identify signs like double tracking, ultrasonography has greater sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing hypertrophic pyloric stenosis.
Presentation1, radiological imaging of barium studies.
The document discusses various radiographic procedures used to examine the esophagus and surrounding structures, including barium swallows, upper GI series, and barium enemas. It provides details on normal esophageal anatomy and appearances, as well as many pathological conditions that can affect the esophagus such as achalasia, Barrett's esophagus, esophageal cancer, and hiatal hernias. Images demonstrate examples of normal esophagus examinations along with abnormalities.

Laparoscopic Prostatectomy Intra- and Extraperitoneal Techniques
1) Laparoscopic prostatectomy has evolved from techniques used in hernia repair and other pelvic surgeries.
2) There are two main techniques for laparoscopic prostatectomy - intraperitoneal (transperitoneal) and extraperitoneal.
3) Early data suggests the oncologic and functional results of laparoscopic prostatectomy are encouraging and similar to open prostatectomy, but more data is still needed given the small number of patients.

The document provides an overview of the anatomy, embryology, imaging, and physiology of the esophagus. It discusses the esophagus' layers, blood supply, lymphatic drainage and innervation. Imaging modalities like barium swallow, endoscopic ultrasound, CT and MRI are described. Barium swallow is useful for evaluating disorders while endoscopic ultrasound is best for T-staging cancer. CT is optimal for assessing extraesophageal disease and lymph nodes. The esophagus acts as a conduit between the pharynx and stomach during swallowing.
Perinephric abscess imaging
This document discusses perinephric abscesses. It defines the perinephric space as the area surrounding the kidney that contains fat, vessels and lymphatics. A perinephric abscess can result from a ruptured renal abscess, direct spread from pyelonephritis, or other inflammatory processes outside Gerota's fascia. Ultrasound and CT are used to identify fluid or soft tissue in the perinephric space. Percutaneous drainage under imaging guidance and antibiotics is the primary treatment, with surgery reserved for cases that do not respond to drainage and medication.
Esophageal cancer
The document describes the anatomy and pathophysiology of the esophagus. It discusses:
- The esophagus is a 25 cm muscular tube that extends from the cricopharyngeus to the gastroesophageal junction.
- There are four layers of the esophageal wall and four regions of the esophagus.
- Esophageal cancer is most commonly squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma. Risk factors include smoking, alcohol, obesity, and Barrett's esophagus.
- Staging of esophageal cancer involves evaluating the primary tumor, lymph nodes, and distant metastases. Treatment depends on the cancer stage but may include surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy.

Barium swallow, endoscopy, endosonography, and manometry are key investigative tools for evaluating abnormalities of the esophagus. Barium swallow involves ingesting barium sulfate to visualize the esophagus, stomach, and surrounding structures under x-ray. Endoscopy allows direct visualization of the esophagus and biopsy of lesions. Endosonography uses high-frequency sound waves to image the esophageal walls and nearby structures. Manometry evaluates esophageal motor function by measuring pressure during swallowing. Together these investigations aid in diagnosing conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, tumors, and motility disorders of the esophagus.
