Snc clase episodio ii
The document discusses various types of abnormalities that can appear on brain imaging scans. It describes different patterns of hyperintensity on T2-weighted MRI that can indicate conditions like age-related changes, small vessel disease, or multiple sclerosis. It also discusses enhancement patterns seen after administering gadolinium contrast, such as homogeneous enhancement of meningiomas or heterogeneous enhancement of tumors, metastases, and post-radiation necrosis.
Marijuana rsna presentation (final)
This document discusses the lasting lung effects of legalizing marijuana and what radiologists need to know. It finds that marijuana smoke deposits tar and chemicals at similar or higher levels than tobacco. Marijuana smoking can cause bronchitis, cough, wheezing and recurrent infections. It also increases the risk of lung cancer. Imaging may show micronodularity, infections like pneumonia, and sequelae of emphysema like pneumothorax. Radiologists should inquire about marijuana use in young patients with extensive unspecified lung findings to help make the diagnosis.
Non-malignant cardiac findings on FDG PET CT
This document discusses non-malignant cardiac findings that can present on FDG PET-CT scans. It presents 5 case examples of focal cardiac FDG uptake and describes the diagnostic approach and differential diagnosis in each case. Common non-malignant etiologies that can cause increased cardiac FDG uptake include physiologic variants, inflammation from conditions like sarcoidosis, infection from endocarditis, and anatomical variants like lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum. Differentiating malignant from non-malignant cardiac FDG uptake is important to avoid unnecessary diagnostic steps or treatment.
WHITEOUT LEFT HEMITHORAX: WHAT DO YOU THINK IS GOING ON HERE?
Hepatic hydrothorax (HH) is a rare cause of unilateral pleural effusion generally seen in patients withcirrhosis who do not have other reasons to explain their effusion.1 Most commonly HH presents in patients with ascites andtypically results in right sided pleural effusion; however, we detail a unique case below of left sided HH seen in the absence of ascites.
Subarachnoid hemorrhage unmasks aortic coarctation in a young man
A 20-year-old man presented with a severe headache and confusion and was found to have a subarachnoid hemorrhage from a ruptured basilar tip aneurysm. He was also found to have long-standing hypertension. Further cardiac imaging revealed an aortic coarctation, which had gone undiagnosed and likely caused his hypertension. Cardiac MRI and MRA clearly showed the coarctation and extensive collateral vessels that had formed. A cardiac catheterization further demonstrated a significant pressure gradient across the coarctation, confirming it as the cause of his hypertension. The patient subsequently underwent stent placement in the coarcted segment.
Aortic Arches A REVIEW E POSTER
This document discusses aortic arch anomalies. It begins by describing normal aortic arch development. It then defines vascular rings as vessels that encircle the trachea and esophagus, causing symptoms. It classifies the main types of vascular rings as complete rings (double aortic arch with right/left/balanced dominance, right aortic arch with left ductus arteriosus) and incomplete rings (innominate artery compression, pulmonary artery sling, left aortic arch with aberrant right subclavian). Each type of ring is described in detail with examples and images provided.
Subaortic membrane
A 43-year-old male presented with chest trauma after a fall. A trans-thoracic echocardiogram revealed a 1 cm mass protruding into the left ventricular outflow tract. Cardiac MRI was obtained for better tissue characterization. The MRI showed the mass had a non-enhancing morphology. Based on the echocardiogram and MRI findings, the mass was determined to be a sub-aortic membrane. The patient was discharged with regular follow up since he did not have a significant gradient across the membrane or aortic regurgitation.
ALCAPA AND TAKEUCHI PROCEDURE
A 29-year-old female with a history of ALCAPA and Takeuchi procedure as a child presented with palpitations. Her recent echocardiogram showed worsening pulmonic stenosis and her holter monitor detected non-sustained ventricular tachycardia. She was ordered for a cardiac MRI to assess for left ventricular scar that could explain her arrhythmia and to evaluate her coronary anatomy before potential angiogram or hemodynamic study. CMR is useful for delineating coronary anatomy and detecting characteristic sub-endocardial late gadolinium enhancement in the basal anterolateral wall seen in ALCAPA patients. CMR may avoid the need for invasive procedures by clearly defining the postoperative anatomy in adults who

Chest tubes - what one needs to know?
This document discusses chest tubes and complications that can arise from procedures like needle thoracocentesis and tube thoracostomy placement. It notes that needle thoracocentesis can result in false positives or negatives if the needle is not correctly placed in the pleural space. Tube thoracostomy placement can also have complications if the tube is placed incorrectly, such as being extrapleural, intrapulmonary, or penetrating mediastinal structures. Correct placement of chest tubes and procedures is important to avoid failure to decompress the intended body spaces and potential fatal outcomes.
Alveolar sarcoid
A 37-year-old woman presented with a 1-month history of daily cough and 30 lb unintentional weight loss. She was diagnosed with alveolar sarcoidosis based on radiographic findings of reticulonodular opacities. Alveolar sarcoidosis is a rare manifestation of pulmonary sarcoidosis characterized by interstitial granulomas compressing airways and mimicking airspace disease. The patient recovered with steroid treatment and follow-up imaging showed interstitial fibrotic changes, consistent with Stage 1 sarcoidosis.
Discitis and osteomyelitis in Sickle cell disease
1. A 14-year-old male with sickle cell disease presented with low back pain radiating up his spine that was worsened with movement. MRI showed chronic bone marrow changes and compression deformities consistent with his condition.
2. CT-guided biopsy of vertebrae showed preliminary positive cultures, with a presumptive diagnosis of vertebral osteomyelitis/discitis.
3. Vertebral osteomyelitis/discitis can result from hematogenous spread, direct inoculation, or contiguous spread. Treatment involves pathogen-directed antimicrobial therapy and drainage of abscesses if present.
Pheochromocytoma radiology
A 67-year-old female presented with right upper quadrant abdominal pain following meals and diarrhea for two weeks. Imaging studies including CT, MRI, and MIBG scan revealed bilateral adrenal masses consistent with pheochromocytoma. Laboratory tests showed markedly elevated urine and plasma metanephrines levels confirming the diagnosis. Pheochromocytoma is a rare catecholamine-secreting tumor that arises from chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla or extra-adrenal paraganglia. It is usually benign but can be malignant in 10% of cases.
Hemithorax white out (1)
A 28-year-old female with diabetes, chronic pancreatitis, and substance abuse presented with cough, chills, and nausea for 3 days. Imaging showed complete white-out of the left lung with an air bronchogram sign. The differential diagnosis for hemithorax white-out included pulmonary edema, consolidation, or a chest wall/pleural mass. Given the trachea was midline and presence of an air bronchogram sign, consolidation from pneumonia was suspected. The patient was treated with antibiotics.
Case conference abdomen November 1, 2017
1. The document discusses several abdominal radiology cases presented at a case conference, including a slipped lap band, C. difficile colitis, levamisole-induced vasculitis, inflammatory bowel diseases, and images in mixed inflammatory bowel disease.
2. Key findings are described from a CT scan showing pneumatosis intestinalis and mesenteric vein gas in a patient with abdominal distension and vomiting being evaluated for ileus.
3. Another case discusses findings from a CT consistent with acute sigmoid volvulus without evidence of bowel perforation or other complications. Emergent surgical consultation is recommended.
Severe Hyponatremia, SIADH, and Pericardiac Effusion as Initial Presenting Fe...
A 56-year-old female presented with headache, dysarthria, and unsteady gait. Imaging revealed a moderate to large pericardial effusion. Labs showed hyponatremia consistent with SIADH. A pericardial window drained fluid and symptoms improved. Further imaging found metastatic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma to the pericardium and lung, explaining the presentation. The patient's citalopram use and pericardial effusion both likely contributed to her SIADH. Management included fluid restriction, hypertonic saline, and pericardial drainage.
Empyema as a complication of lung abscess drainage
This document describes the case of a 66-year-old male admitted for management of a cavitary lung lesion. He underwent CT-guided drainage of a lung abscess, but subsequently developed an empyema, likely due to contamination during drainage. He required a VATS procedure with debridement and decortication. Key learning points included that lung abscesses usually resolve with antibiotics, but drainage or resection may be needed for complicated cases, and percutaneous drainage carries risks of empyema or fistula formation from contamination.
Splenic rupture
Pt 1 is a 45-year-old man who presented with flank and chest pain due to a large splenic abscess and rupture secondary to illicit drug use including methamphetamines and heroin. Imaging showed a large fluid collection replacing the spleen. Pt 2 is a 27-year-old woman who presented with abdominal and pelvic pain due to an extracapsular splenic hemorrhage from illicit drug use. Both patients underwent splenic artery embolization and splenectomies. Illicit drug use such as cocaine can cause splenic infarction and subsequent rupture from vasospasms.
Radiology case conference october 4 2017. pptx
A 50-year-old female presented with an incidental 2x3 cm paraesophageal mass found on CT during a hematuria workup. FDG PET showed intense focal uptake in the mass concerning for metastatic lymph node or esophageal cancer. Biopsies were nondiagnostic. VATS showed necrotizing granuloma suggestive of fungal infection, likely histoplasmosis. Treatment with itraconazole led to a significant decrease in FDG avidity on follow-up PET-CT, indicating histoplasmosis rather than cancer. This case demonstrates that focal FDG uptake can be caused by fungal infection, which should be considered in the differential diagnosis of possible esophageal cancer.
Atypical lung neoplasms1
This document discusses several cases of atypical chest neoplasms:
1. It describes bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue (BALT) lymphoma, a rare subtype of primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma that occurs in the lung. BALT lymphoma has nonspecific imaging findings but usually presents as nodules, masses, consolidation or ground-glass opacity.
2. It also discusses lymphangitic carcinomatosis, a tumor spread through the lungs' lymphatics most commonly seen with adenocarcinoma. On imaging, it demonstrates interlobular septal thickening, thickening of the bronchovascular interstitium, and often has a "dot in box" appearance
Airways lecture final 2017
A 30-year-old previously healthy man presented with worsening shortness of breath over two days. He had been working in a corn silo filled with nitrous oxide the day before and inhaled some of the gas. Laboratory results showed elevated white blood cells. Imaging showed diffuse lung inflammation and injury consistent with acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis from inhaling the gas. He required ventilator support but was successfully treated with steroids and diuretics and showed improvement over the next few days.
Sound diagnosis for SRU
The document discusses medical cases involving duplicated renal collecting system, gallbladder polyps, and testicular tuberculosis. It provides diagnoses and answers for each case presented from the Medical College of Georgia.
Abdominal Radiology -Case conference September 6, 2017
This radiology case conference document discusses multiple cases involving abdominal calcifications:
- Case 1 involves gallstones, gall bladder and renal calculi, and a diagnosis of chronic calcific pancreatitis.
- Case 2 shows seminal vesicle/vas deferens calcification in a patient undergoing pre-transplant evaluation who had failed bilateral renal transplants.
- Other cases discussed include prostatic calcification, left adrenal calcification from old trauma, and fecoliths before and after treatment.
December 20 case conference
This document summarizes 39 medical cases discussed at a case conference. The cases involved a variety of procedures, devices, and medical conditions including: placement of a PFO closure device, use of an intra-aortic balloon pump, placement of a left atrial clip, treatment of a dislodged right atrial lead, placement of a vagal nerve stimulator, placement of a syrinx-pleural shunt for Chiari malformation, treatment of pericardial effusion, placement of a deep brain stimulator, treatment of pectus excavatum and osteitis pubis, placement of pancreatic and biliary stents, placement of an esophageal drain, placement of a tracheal stent, use of
Interesting cases of lung hernias
1) Lung herniation occurs when lung tissue protrudes through defects in the chest wall or diaphragm.
2) It can be congenital, caused by birth defects, or acquired through trauma, surgery, vigorous coughing or other strenuous activities that increase intrathoracic pressure.
3) Lung hernias are often asymptomatic but can cause pain, difficulty breathing, or coughing up blood if the lung tissue becomes trapped or compressed.
Congenital venous anomalies of the Chest
This document discusses congenital venous anomalies in the chest that can be identified through imaging such as CT and MRI. It provides examples of different types of anomalies including an enlarged azygos vein, duplicated superior vena cava, partial anomalous pulmonary venous return, and bronchopulmonary sequestration. Recognizing these thoracic venous anomalies on imaging is important for developing treatment plans and monitoring outcomes. The document demonstrates several cases of anomalies through medical illustrations.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
