To assess the prevalence of extracardiac findings (ECF) during cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) examinations and their downstream effect on clinical management.We retrospectively identified 500 consecutive patients. Trans-axial balanced steady-state free precession nongated images acquired from upper thorax to abdomen were evaluated independently by 2 radiologists. ECF classified as nonsignificant (benign, with no need for further investigation), significant (mandatory be...
The Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) is a recently developed classification aiming to improve the standardization of liver imaging assessment in patients at risk developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). LI-RADS v2017 implemented new algorithms for ultrasound (US) screening surveillance, contrast-enhanced US diagnosis computed tomography/magnetic resonance treatment response assessment. A minor update was released 2018 comply with American Association Study Diseases...
Crizotinib is the first tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved for treatment of anaplastic lymphoma (ALK) rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). An increased incidence renal cysts has been described during crizotinib treatment.We herein report case a 74-year-old woman who received metastatic ALK-positive NSCLC. During treatment, complex cystic lesions with invasion perirenal spaces and iliopsoas muscle appeared; two hepatic were also observed. Almost all disappeared after switching to...
Lung biopsy is an important interventional radiology procedure allowing the characterization of lesions with suspected malignancy. The most frequent complications are pneumothorax and hemorrhage. Air embolism a rare but potentially fatal occurrence. In this case report, we present air after core needle CT-guided showing CT MRI features that radiologists should expect in everyday clinical practice.
