Background/Aims The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases recommends ultrasound (US) screening hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) among cirrhotic patients, regardless body mass index (BMI), every 6 months. We examined US sensitivity diagnosis HCC in obese patients. Methods transplant patients data with explant was used (January 2012-December 2017). All underwent liver within 3 months HCC. Number/size lesions were extracted from radiologic and pathologic reports. Obesity defined as...
Purpose: There are a limited number of case reports confirming the radioiodine (I-131) presence in tears and only few lacrimal gland dysfunction after I-131 therapy. This study was designed to clarify whether function can be affected by Materials Methods: We studied 100 eyes 50 patients who had received high doses for treatment differentiated thyroid carcinoma age- sex-matched control individuals without history interfering conditions. The exposed group at least 3 months their last Dry eye...
Ciliated hepatic foregut cysts (CHFCs) are rare cystic lesions which most commonly asymptomatic. They can be clinically important as they may, on occasions, undergo malignant transformation or cause mass effect if significantly enlarged. Three cases of CHFCs presented in this article and their imaging features reviewed.
High-dose interleukin-2 (HDIL-2) therapy was initially approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) melanoma. IL-2 is able to promote CD8+ T natural killer (NK) cytotoxicity increase tumoricidal activity of innate immune system. HDIL-2 associated with a wide spectrum immune-related adverse events (irAEs) that can be radiologically identified. toxicity manifest in multiple organ systems, most significantly leading cardiovascular, abdominal,...
Bacterial and fungal infections are major causes of morbidity mortality after liver transplantation (LT). The role intestinal decontamination in the prevention post-LT is controversial. Rifaximin widely used for treatment hepatic encephalopathy. effect rifaximin on unknown. aim our study was to determine therapy pretransplant period early bacterial (EBIs) within first 30 days LT. All adult patients who underwent LT at institution (January 2009 July 2011) were included this retrospective...
Abstract Involvement of the coronary arteries by immunoglobulin G4‐related disease is rare. It can cause artery aneurysm and arterial wall thickening. Imaging plays a key role in assessment multimodality approach imaging helpful to make diagnosis provide functional prognostic information.
Emergency radiologists and general are increasingly exposed to a myriad of chest pathologies caused by an ever-growing list environmental infectious agents. Most recently, this includes Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-2019)-related pneumonia the SARS-CoV-2 electronic-cigarette, or vaping, product use-associated lung injury (EVALI). Each entity is associated with typical CT manifestations that can usually be differentiated in their classic form; however, when presented overlapping imaging...
Carcinoid tumor is a neuroendocrine that can arise in the bronchial tree and be hypervascular. Here we describe case of carcinoid 34-year-old previously healthy male who presented with hemoptysis right lung mass. Inspection bronchoscopy revealed bronchus intermedius endobronchial lesion was complicated by urgent intubation placement blocker for massive hemorrhage. Subsequent angiography embolization artery supplying mass resulted control bleeding. While hemorrhage has been described biopsy...
Abstract Despite advances in cardiovascular imaging, the diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis remains challenging. A multimodality approach to CP is essential (a) fully assess extent pericardial thickening and calcification, (b) detect functional hemodynamic consequences constricting pericardium, (c) implement optimal management strategy these often complex cases. This case‐based review highlights role diagnostic ambiguities imaging.

A 16-year-old boy was seen with the complaint of intermittent lower gastrointestinal bleeding and referred for a radionuclide Meckelogram. Although Tc-99m pertechnetate scintigraphy failed to reveal heterotopic gastric mucosa, focal accumulation radiotracer in large area involving left side abdomen liver were seen. Both areas activity cleared gradually, but first one remained longer based on its configuration, raised possibility splenomegaly. Further ultrasonographic evaluation confirmed...
Portal pressure gradient (PPG) after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) <12 mmHg has been reported as the only factor predictive of increase in platelet count. As flow velocities measured on Doppler ultrasound are related to based Bernoulli equation, we used this parameter predict increased count TIPS placement.A total 161 consecutive patients who underwent placement entered retrospective study. The was before, one week and month placement. Clinically significant...
Abstract Alveolar sarcoidosis is an uncommon radiologic manifestation of pulmonary which appears as infiltrative or mass-like opacities mimicking multifocal pneumonia lung malignancies such multi-focal adenocarcinoma lymphoma. It has correlation with a more acute and symptomatic phase thoracic therefore expected to show severely increased metabolic activity on FDG PET. shows relatively rapid radiological improvement after initiation corticosteroid therapy. Tissue diagnosis might be needed in...
Abstract Quadricuspid pulmonary valve is a rare entity that can be associated with artery aneurysm. It usually asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally. Association other congenital or acquired heart diseases has been reported. Echocardiography gated CT angiography provide useful functional anatomic information help in the diagnosis management.
