Abstract Tuberculosis (TB) remains a worldwide scourge and its incidence appears to be increasing due various factors, such as the spread of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) acquired syndrome (AIDS). The insidious onset non-specific constitutional symptoms genitourinary tuberculosis (GUTB) often lead delayed diagnosis rapid progression non-functioning kidney. Due hematogenous dissemination TB, there is potential risk involvement contralateral kidney too. Imaging plays an important role in...

Background: Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) with two well-developed ventricles and a remote ventricular septal defect (VSD) may present therapeutic challenge. Echocardiographic imaging of such complex cases does not always provide all the information required to decide on an operative approach (biventricular or univentricular) design intracardiac baffle direct left outflow through VSD aorta for biventricular repair. A three dimensional (3D) printed model heart based upon data derived...

This article reviews the computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of renal tuberculosis (TB), including TB in transplant recipients immunocompromised patients. Multi detector (MDCT) forms mainstay cross-sectional TB. It can easily identify calcification, scars, mass lesions, urothelial thickening. The combination uneven caliectasis, with thickening lack pelvic dilatation, also be demonstrated on MDCT. MRI is a sensitive modality for demonstration TB, tissue edema,...

Absent pulmonary valve syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly, usually seen in association with ventricular septal defect. It has been reported to occur 3-6% of cases tetralogy Fallot. Absence the results dilated main artery, which can be as cystic, pulsatile, paracardiac lesion on antenatal USG. Such lesion, though rare, easily detected. We report case this anomaly was present defect, Fallot, and dextrocardia. The detected at 26 weeks gestation.

Horseshoe lung, usually associated with pulmonary venolobar syndrome, is a rare congenital anomaly involving the fusion of postero-basal segments right and left lungs across midline. The fused segment or isthmus lies posterior to pericardium anterior aorta. syndrome involves anomalous systemic arterial supply anomlaous venous drainage lung. With advent MDCT imaging, we can diagnose this condition as well all its anomalies non-invasively. Volume-rendered techniques greatly simplify complex...

A three-dimensional (3D) printed heart model based on contrast-enhanced MR angiography data was obtained in an 8-month-old male child with double-outlet right ventricle. The could successfully show the spatial relationship between aortic annulus, pulmonary valve and ventricular septal defect. patient underwent complete intracardiac repair 3D model. images be used to create a true-size model, which significantly helped assessing routability of defect aorta, leading successful our patient.

Left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA) is a rare congenital anomaly, usually identified incidentally on chest radiograph performed for another indication. Our case that of an 11-month-old male infant who was diagnosed as having giant LAAA while being clinically evaluated pneumonia. The lesion accurately preoperative, non-contrast, free-breathing cardiac MRI (CMR). has peculiar appearance, resembling "giant dog ear"-a sign first described angiography and holding true CMR well. Fast sequences...

Coronary stent fracture is a known complication of coronary arterial placements. Multiple long-term risks are also associated with drug eluting stents. 64-slice multidetector CT (MDCT) angiography has been shown to detect poststent complications such as instent stenosis, thrombosis, migration and fractures. We report case in patient who underwent RCA stenting perforation almost complete thrombosis the peristent fibrinoid collection. This rare RCA. The paper highlights role 64-row computed...

A 3-year-old child with a complex variant of double outlet right ventricle achieved successful biventricular repair after detailed delineation the intracardiac anatomy on multimodality imaging. virtual three-dimensional (3D) model based computed tomography was used successfully in absence an actual 3D-printed model. This case report seeks to highlight and hence increase utilization 3D resource-limited settings.

A 50-year-old woman, diagnosed with severe rheumatic mitral stenosis, was referred for transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) study. Transesophageal echocardiogram done to confirm suitability percutaneous balloon valvotomy and look any evidence of thrombus in left atrial appendage (LAA). TEE evaluation followed by CT scan MRI modality confirmed the patient having congenital absence LAA – a rare occurrence less than 25 reports literature.

We prospectively studied whether left atrial (LA) fibrosis is a determinant of fibrillation (AF) in mitral stenosis patients who underwent balloon valvotomy. There were 2 groups: Group A (n = 16), with AF and B 27), without AF. Fibrosis was assessed by MRI. Patients cardioversion before 27 females 16 males, aged 29 ± 6 years. The LA areas Groups 54.3 4.4 mm2 39.4 2.3 (p < 0.05) the volume index 46.2 2.9 ml/m2 vs 33 3 respectively 0.0001). presence scarring not statistically different two groups.

Congenital radial head dislocation is a rare anomaly of the pediatric musculoskeletal system. The most common type posterior, with anterior and lateral dislocations being less common. Unilateral cases are even more uncommon were earlier thought to be non-existent. Our case report describes young girl unilateral congenital progressive development cubitus valgus deformity, which very occurrence. On reviewing literature, only few such have been described. patient also had history developmental...

Congenital anomalies of the coronary arteries are rare. In this article, we reported a case 6-month-old female who was brought with breathing difficulty and poor weight gain. Echocardiography done which showed dextrocardia truncus arteriosus. A cardiac computed tomography confirmed these findings additionally revealed that originated from common vascular channel brachiocephalic artery. This is very rare occurrence. To our knowledge, only few such cases have been in literature.

Sir, We thank the authors for interest shown in our article[1] and sharing information about computed tomography-derived volume-rendered virtual dissection.[2] The cost incurred creating model (our case report) is indeed due to technical expertise software required. As with all such technologies, we anticipate not only a steep fall prices but also improvement quality of wider availability. note that obtained by dissection computationally more complex seems suffer from similar shortfalls...

Pediatric head trauma is very common and accounts for most of the emergency hospital visits. It also cause a pediatrician to refer child neuroimaging. injury causes lot morbidity mortality in children can be due accidental or abusive injury. Falls are small children, whereas motor vehicle accident more older adolescents. brain differs from adult immature brain, mechanism injury, difficulty neurological evaluation children. The radiologist needs familiar with these correctly interpret scans...
