Sun, 21 Mar 2010 16:17:07 +0100 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3361319&cid=s_33259_37_f&fid=33259&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.springerlink.com%2Fcontent%2Fkx71j85772378316%2F Abstract  The purpose of this study was to examine the distribution of venous thrombi associated with primary or secondary abdominal malignancies on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with respect to thrombus type (bland vs. tumor), tumor sites, tumor types, and veins involved in a large oncologic patient population. In a retrospective review of 10,908 oncologic patients, MR imaging studies identified 142 (1.3%) showing venous thrombi, of which 55 (0.5%) were bland and 87 (0.79%) were tumor thrombus. Bland thrombi were most commonly seen in liver (35%; 19/55) and retroperitoneal malignancies (24%; 13/55) and were most often located in the inferior vena cava (45%; 25/55) and the portal vein (22%; 12/55). Tumor thrombi were most commonly seen in renal (55%; 48/87) and liver (32%...

This work explores these unusual localizations, which we have arbitrarily grouped under the term “anterior endometriosis” in contrast to the more common posterior presentation of deep endometriosis that has been so well described in the literature. Parietal and inguinal involvement is first detailed, followed by a description of deep endometriosis involving the urinary system and anterior supporting ligaments of the uterus. A necessary adaptation to the MRI protocol in order to accurately diagnosis deep anterior endometriosis as well as specific diagnostic criteria for each type of lesion is reviewed.

MDCT readily detects injury of the solid organs as well as direct and indirect features of bowel and/or mesenteric injury—an important advance given that unrecognized bowel and mesenteric injuries may result in high morbidity and mortality. Nonetheless, challenges persist in the interpretation of abdominal and pelvic CT images in trauma patients. Difficulty in interpretation may result from lack of familiarity with or misunderstanding of CT features of bowel and/or mesenteric injury. Moreover, due to major technical advances afforded by MDCT, new CT features of bowel and/or mesenteric injuries have been recognized. Bead...

It is an established technique with multiple indications. Percutaneous biopsy now can be used to diagnose benign conditions that may mimic a malignancy and lead to unnecessary treatments. Advances in cytological techniques such as immunocytochemistry and cytogenetics have allowed for an increased diagnostic yield. In this review, various benign entities that may present as a renal mass are discussed and the vital role of percutaneous biopsy detailed.

This condition is rare but often associated with a pathologic lead point. Here, we report a 13-year-old boy, featuring insidious abdominal discomfort and constipation for 1 month, who developed cecorectal intussusception. Before surgical intervention, multi-detector row computed tomography with reconstructed images demonstrated the route of cecorectal intussusception and identified a cecal fat-containing tumor as the lead point. The patient received surgical reduction with resection of the cecal tumor. Final pathological diagnosis was a hamartoma of the cecum. The relevant literature pertaining to this condi...

The first was made on an incremental CT and showed no lesion, the second on a single-slice helical CT which revealed a single centimetric tumor of the head of the pancreas, and the third on 64-slice CT which revealed 5 infracentimetric tumors. We do not know if all were present at the first scan but it is possible that these small tumors could have been missed on thick CT scan slices with overlap. The ideal imaging technique for the detection of endocrine pancreatic tumor is not known yet. The detection rates in the latest publications are 80% for CT scans and 70% for MRI, but there is a slight preference for CT scan because of its larger availability and h...

Few reports detailing the cross sectional and PET appearance of this lesion are available, and the lesion’s behavior with 99mTc-sulfur colloid scintigraphy is previously unreported. Sclerosing nodular transformation of the spleen shows increased tracer accumulation on positron emission tomography, and a central scar-like appearance with an enhancing capsule and radiating septae on CT and MR studies that reflects the gross and histopathological features of the lesion may be visible. An understanding of this pathological finding may allow prospective recognition of the sclerosing nodular transformation of the spleen on cross sectional imaging studie...

Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is present in 1–5% of patients with hypertension (HTN) in the US with the vast majority of caused by atherosclerosis. Atheroscelortic RAS is related not only to uncontrolled HTN, but also to renal dysfunction. Atherosclerotic RAS in the USA has been reported to account for approximately 14–16% of new patients requiring dialysis each year. Hence a concerted effort was made in the last decade to treat renovascular stenosis using newly developed endovascular therapies to improve cardiovascular morbidity and renal function. A review on new advances in the endovascular management of renal artery stenosis with low profile ste...

CTC of twenty asymptomatic individuals (M:F = 10:10) participating to a colorectal cancer screening program and DCBE of fifteen patients (M:F = 6:9) were evaluated. For CTC, absorbed dose was determined by calculating the dose-length product for each CTC examination from measurements on a CT dose phantom equipped with a CT ion chamber. For DCBE, the free-in-air Kerma at the patient’s X-ray entry surface and the Kerma-area product during fluoroscopy and fluorography were measured with a Barracuda system, with fluoroscopy times being recorded blinded to the ...

The aim of this work was to compare the accuracy of the current gold standard technique, conventional colonoscopy (CC), to computed tomography colonography (CTC) in the segmental localization of tumor. Sixty-five patients (mean age 64; 45 female and 19 male) with colorectal cancer diagnosed at colonoscopy underwent CTC before surgery. In 45 out of 65 cases (69%), patients were referred to CTC after incomplete CC. Reasons were patient intolerance to CC or presence of stenosing cancer, with consistent difficulties in crossing the tract of the colon involved by the lesion. CTC ...

The wide variation in the reported incidence of flat lesions may in part be due to the lack of a uniform definition of “flat”, and in fact in many prior reports the inclusion criteria for flat are not even clearly specified. Emphasis on the more recent CTC literature suggests that when limited the target lesion to neoplasia (adenomas or adenocarcinoma), the incidence of flat lesions is low and most can be detected by CTC. Using fecal tagging and careful attention to the proper methods of searching for flat lesions with both 3D and 2D techniques can maximize the detec...

One-hundred forty-eight HCCs were studied using CEUS: 110 nodules were treated with RFA [41/110 RFA were performed using a pretreatment and an immediate postablation evaluation using CEUS (group 1); 69/110 using only US guidance (group 2)] and 38 nodules treated with TACE. For statistical analysis, McNemar test was used. Overall complete response was observed in 107/148 nodules (92/110 treated with RFA and 15/38 with TACE). A better rate of complete response was found in group 1 compared to group 2 (92.7...

However, information provided by colonoscopy is limited to mucosal alterations since the technique is unable to evaluate transmural changes or presence of extraluminal complications such as abscesses or fistula. Technological advances in magnetic resonance (MR) raised expectations on the potential role of this imaging modality for evaluation of the gastrointestinal tract based on the high spatial and tissue resolution as well as lack of ionizing radiation. Available evidence indicates that MR colonogra...

In this update article, technical aspects regarding diffusion-weighted echo-planar imaging (DW-EPI) of the liver will be addressed, and concepts for image interpretation will be provided. The value of DW-EPI for the detection of hepatic metastases is illustrated on the basis of a review of the literature and our personal experience. In this respect, special emphasis is given to the comparison of DW-EPI with well-established MR imaging techniques such as T2-weighted and contrast-enhanced MR imaging, and advantages and limitations of DW-EPI will be described. Based on the review, it is concluded that DW-EPI is more sensitive than T2-weighted MR imaging and at leas...

Computed tomography (CT) is the most widely available and best validated modality for imaging these patients. Meticulous technique following a well-designed pancreas protocol is essential for maximizing the diagnostic efficacy of CT. After the diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma is made, the key to management is staging to determine resectability. In practice, staging often entails predicting the presence or absence of vascular invasion by tumor, for which several radiologic grading systems exist. With advances in surgical techniques, the definition of resectability is in evolution, and it is crucial that radiologists have an understanding of the i...

Screening for AAA is cost-effective, reducing risk of AAA-related death by 50%. For various reasons screening programs have not been implemented widely. Therefore, the need to identify subgroups with increased prevalence of AAA remains. Recently, men over 59 years of age presenting with stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA) at the neurology department were found to have a doubled prevalence of AAA. This confirmed data of another study (SMART), which included broader inclusion criteria (either manifest atherosclerotic disease or only risk factors for atherosclerosis). Incorporation of an aortic ultrasonography into the neurological work up of these patients could ...

A successful procedure depends on the complete sealing of the aneurysm sac from blood flow to achieve general pressure relief and avoid aneurysm rupture, with a shrinkage of the aneurysm sac. The most common complication of EVAR is endoleak that is the persistence of perigraft flow within the aneurysm sac, which has to be considered the major cause of enlargement and rupture of the aneurysm, and the main indication for surgical late conversion. For this reason, strict surveillance of these patients is mandatory for the early detection of endoleaks and the preferred method of follow-up is represented by CT angiography. However, CTA has limitations. The investig...

We reviewed the MRA findings of five resected lesions of hepatic AML with less lipocyte specimens and found that the efferent vessels of hepatic AMLs were the hepatic veins. These findings corresponded well with those seen on conventional contrast-enhanced dynamic CT scans. This hemodynamic finding may be an important characterization of hepatic AML with less lipocyte, and could distinguish AML from other benign and malignant hepatic tumors.

This procedure consists in surgical removal of cervix uteri, proximal parametrial tissue, and vaginal cuff. The morphology and the functions of corpus uteri are preserved. Women candidates for trachelectomy must be closely selected. Gynecologist oncologist needs an imaging modality that can accurately value the tumoral diameter and which can demonstrate proximal extension of tumor to ensure surgical clear resection margins (especially the cranial one). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a very useful examination in pre-operative study of women affected by early cervical c...

Twenty-four patients with a rising prostate-specific antigen level after treatment with radiation therapy underwent prostate MR imaging at 3T, followed by transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy. MRI findings and biopsy results were correlated in six prostate sectors of both peripheral zones. Two radiologists in consensus reviewed the MR images and rated the likelihood of recurrent cancer on a 5-point scale. Out of the 144 prostate sectors, 37 (26%) sectors were positive for cancer in ten patients. For predicting locally recurre...

The expression derives from the association of two different contrast agents, a superparmagnetic intestinal and a paramagnetic intravenous contrast agent. This specific contrast media combination provides optimization of the tissue contrast, both on T1- and T2-weighted images, thus allowing an effective display of small and large bowel loops in normal and pathologic conditions. Therefore, main CD complications (strictures, fistulas, and abscesses), as well as disease activity, may be valuably assessed. The term DC-MRI may also be referred to the typ...

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is typically employed to evaluate the uterus following UAE for fibroid infarction, size, location change, persistent enhancement, changes in adenomyosis, and uterine necrosis. Variable pattern of calcification on computed tomography (CT) can differentiate embolic particles and fibroid involution. CT following UAE may be requested because of acute pelvic pain or chest discomfort or pyrexia and/or for complications that may require treatment in acute phase. Visualization of gas in uterus and uterine vessels following UAE is an expected finding that should not be misinterpreted as a sign of infection. The MRI and CT appearances vary depending ...

Extra abdominal deposits—axilla and cardiophrenic angles—were first fortuitously found during thoracic MDCT. Secondary abdominal MDCT revealed the extensive abdominal spread that consisted of very diffuse but asymptomatic pseudo carcinomatous hazy omental, mesenteric and—in a minder proportion—retroperitoneal deposits; these remained isolated without calcification, lymphadenopathy, ascites, or any sign of associated bowel wall thickening. A specific definite histologic diagnosis was made without laparotomy through a biopsy in the right axilla.

Compared with biochemical or histological markers, imaging biomarkers have the advantage of remaining non-invasive and being spatially and temporally resolved. Imaging biomarkers are used in multiple abdominal diseases, including cancer. Anatomical imaging biomarkers such as the RECIST criteria are often insufficient for the early assessment of treatment response. Molecular imaging biomarkers may be used when targeting a receptor or enzyme overexpressed in a given disease. Their use remains limited because of their narrow target specificity. Functional biomarkers are increasingly used with positron-emission tomography, perf...

Over the past two decades, several methods for chemical or thermal tumor destruction have been clinically tested. Among these methods, radiofrequency (RF) ablation is currently established as the primary ablative modality at most institutions. RF ablation is accepted as the best therapeutic choice for patients with early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) when liver transplantation or surgical resection are not suitable options. In addition, RF ablation is emerging as a viable alternate to surgery for inoperable patients with limited hepatic metastatic disease, especially from colorectal cancer. Several serie...

Recent advances of imaging including 3D volume data setting in multidetector-row CT (MDCT) and MRI are urging us to focus on the imaging of normal and pathological conditions of pancreatic parenchyme and peripancreatic structures, which are frequently involved by pancreatic cancers and are affecting the prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancers. In this Feature Section, five main topics of pancreatic imaging are addressed: pancreatic arterial territories, imaging of the intra- and peripancreatic venous anatomy and its clinical significance, imaging of the peripancreatic lymphatic network and its clinical significance for staging of pancreatic cancer, perfusion char...

However, little attention has been paid to CT imaging of normal and pathological conditions of peripancreatic lymphatic networks. We evaluated multi-detector row CT (MDCT) images of peripancreatic lymphatic networks invaded by pancreatic carcinoma and compared them with those of normal peripancreatic lymphatic networks using imaging reconstruction every 1 mm with a multiplanar reformation technique. Apart from the region around the pancreatic body and tail, normal peripancreatic lymphatic networks were detected as “linear structures” on MDCT. However, peripancreatic lymphatic invasion by pancreatic carcinoma was frequently identified as “ret...

During the diagnosis of hernia, ultrasonography, computed tomography and intravenous computed tomography, cholangiography of the abdomen were performed. Ultrasonography detected gallstone, but did not provide sufficient information to diagnose gallbladder hernia. Computed tomography yielded the correct diagnosis. At laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the diagnosis was confirmed.

The patient required total blood transfusion of 14 units, despite fasting for bowel rest. Repeated CT, colonoscopy, and angiography could not determine the accurate bleeding site. Superselective arterial embolization could be finally achieved by precise localization on CT immediately after superior mesenteric arteriography.

The physical causes can be divided into problems with arterial inflow, structural penile abnormalities, or problems with the venous occlusion mechanism. Penile Doppler sonography is a specialized technique requiring a thorough knowledge of the topic in order to aid diagnosis and direct subsequent treatment. This technique is indicated in those patients with erectile dysfunction who do not respond to oral pharmacological agents (e.g., PDE-5 inhibitors). This pictorial essay will visit the anatomy and physiology of penile erection, the technique for performing the procedure, and review the imaging features for specific causes of ED. Cont...
