Inverted Meckel's diverticulum is an entity often discovered incidentally or through a clinical evaluation for gastrointestinal bleeding. While rare, inverted should be considered in the of patient presenting with bleeding, intestinal obstruction, intussusception. In this case, 67-year-old female remote history surgically treated breast cancer presents to urgent care facility weakness and fatigue. She was found anemic hemoglobin 4. Imaging revealed blind-ending pouch mid distal ileum...
Calcification has been associated with carotid plaque stability; however, an acceptable in vivo method to define plaques based on this component remains be developed. The purpose of our study was compare calcified and noncalcified volumes artery culprit symptomatic asymptomatic using multidetector computed tomography.We identified 102 patients > or =50% stenosis NASCET criteria by tomography angiography between January 2004 May 2006, which included 35 (stenosis: 82.0+/-11.9%) 67...
To compare image quality on contrast-enhanced dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) during the pancreatic parenchymal phase of masses between linearly-blended simulated 120 kVp images (routine) and advanced image-based virtual monoenergetic reconstructions at 55 keV.This was a retrospective evaluation 24 nonconsecutive adults found to have focal mass multiphasic abdominal dual-source DECT (12 adenocarcinoma, 5 neuroendocrine, 7 cystic tumors). For pancreatic-parenchymal images, subjects had...
The purpose of this study was to assess associations between quantitative MRI metrics and pathologic indicators aggressiveness urothelial carcinoma the bladder.In retrospective biinstitutional study, 37 patients (28 men nine women; mean age, 73 ± 12 years) who underwent pelvic including diffusion-weighted imaging (b values 0, 400, 800 s/mm(2)) T2-weighted before transurethral resection or cystectomy for bladder were identified. Tumor diameter (measured on imaging), normalized T2 signal...
<b>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</b> Atherosclerotic arterial remodeling has been described in the coronary circulation but not studied extensively for carotid atherosclerosis. The purpose of our study was to examine association between artery and clinical presentation patients with significant stenosis by using multidetector row CT (MDCT). <b>MATERIALS METHODS:</b> One hundred eight ≥50% (North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial criteria) MDCT angiography January 2004 June 2006...

Background: The goal of this study was to use liver explant correlation assess the diagnostic accuracy diffusion-weighted (DW)-MRI for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Materials and methods: Thirty-seven patients were retrospectively identified who had undergone transplantation preoperative, respiratory-triggered, single-shot echo-planar DW-MRI. Two independent blinded observers evaluated DW-MRI images HCC comparison made with explanted specimens. Results: By pathology, 29 HCCs (mean largest...
BackgroundMeasures of skeletal muscle abnormalities are rapidly emerging as independent predictors outcomes after liver transplantation (LT). We describe a simple, novel assessment myosteatosis acquired prior to using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) derived fat fraction.MethodsA retrospective longitudinal cohort study included clinical and biochemical data from patients who underwent at our institution between Feb 2008 Aug 2014. Patients transplanted for diagnosis hepatocellular carcinoma...
Increasing image pitch in computed tomographic (CT) imaging is a method through which scan time can be reduced, reduce motion artifacts. In this study, we assess the clinical feasibility of ultrahigh-pitch CT made possible by dual-source CT.Image pitch, total time, and quality assessments were compared between 45 patients who underwent high-pitch 34 imaged standard technique. Image noise diagnostic assessed 2 independent blinded readers on 5-point scale.Mean was 2.5 (mean 1.9 seconds) with...
Purpose This study aimed to evaluate a non–gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol including T2-weighted, T2*-weighted, and diffusion-weighted MRI sequences for identifying hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with liver explantation as the reference standard. Also, stand-alone pre– dynamic post–gadolinium-enhanced data set was interpreted from available patient relative comparison purposes. Materials Methods A retrospective review identified 37 appropriately selected...
Objectives: To assess the range of quantitative iodine values in renal cysts (RC) (with a few neoplasms [RNs] as comparison) to develop an expected for RC that can be used future studies their differentiation. Material and Methods: Consecutive patients ( n = 140) with lesions who had undergone abdominal examination on clinical photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) were retrospectively included. Automated quantification maps reconstructed, region interest (ROI) measurements concentration...
