If there is a specific anatomic area of interest, images may be acquired over that area at the time the radionuclide is injected, as well as 3 to 4 hours later. “Gas, mass, bones, stones” can be used as a reminder of main areas to examine on the abdominal 234 PART 4 ABDOMEN radiograph. Toxoplasmosis usually presents as multiple lesions of varying size and demonstrates ring enhancement with surrounding edema on CT or MR imaging. The nephrographic phase is predominately used to evaluate the kidneys for mass lesions. The sound waves are generated by applying an electrical pulse to a piezoelectric crystal. Aneurysms may be saccular or fusiform in shape, and symptoms include chest pain, hoarseness from compression of the recurrent laryngeal nerve, postobstructive atelectasis from compression of a bronchus, and dysphagia from esophageal compression. AP view of the proximal left humerus. Again, the configuration of calcifications is more helpful (Statement D is false). Soft, rounded masses on physical examination are often benign fibroadenomata or cysts, but carcinoma may also present this way (Statement B is false). Which of the following is the best descriptor of Figure 4-20 A,B? Other benign causes of these physical findings include hematoma, abscess, and lipoma (Statement E is true). Case 11-13. The digital images may be printed on film by laser printers but are generally viewed on monitors. The use of thinner collimation (0.4 mm to 2 mm) in conjunction with high-resolution reconstruction algorithms yields images of higher spatial resolution (high-resolution CT), a technique commonly used for evaluation of diffuse interstitial lung disease or the detection of pulmonary nodules. There is also an enlarged left atrial appendage (arrowhead). Mucinous cystic neoplasms are composed of unilocular or multilocular cysts larger than 5 cm and may have large papillary excrescences. The right hemidiaphragm is slightly elevated, but there are no other signs of significant volume loss. 12-4. A complex cyst requires further evaluation, and a short-term follow-up (6 to 8 weeks) ultrasound may be sufficient. 54 states: The risk (to the fetus) is considered to be negligible at 5 rad or less when compared to the other risks of pregnancy, and the risk of malformations is significantly increased above control levels only at doses above 15 rad. The term asbestosis is used to refer to the pulmonary fibrosis that may be incited by the presence of the mineral and is not used in reference to the pleural disease. These lesions are hamartomatous tumors of mesenchymal origin that are usually well differentiated and benign. B but firmly lowered onto the breast surface to compress the breast into as thin a layer as possible. 3-3. C. perforation. EXERCISE 3-2. E. Ewing’s sarcoma of the rib. B. erosions. On the retrograde pyelogram (Figure 9-29B), the upper pole calyces are irregular in contour, having a “moth-eaten” appearance. a, aorta; ajl, anterior junction line; apw, aortopulmonary window; ca, carina; cap, cardiophrenic angle; cl, clavicle; cpa, costophrenic angle; d, diaphragm; g, gastric air bubble; ip, interlobar (or descending) pulmonary artery; L, liver; la, left atrium; lv, left ventricle; p, main pulmonary artery; pjl, posterior junction line; rts, right tracheal (or paratracheal) stripe; s, scapula; sf, splenic flexure of colon; sp, spleen; t, trachea. A 99mTc-MDP bone scan in the anterior and posterior projections demonstrates multiple foci of increased radiopharmaceutical accumulation (spine, ribs, pelvis, and left clavicle) with the typical appearance of bone metastases. The degree of shunt and pulmonary stenosis dictate the presentation. Furthermore, the results are immediately available because no special postexamination image processing is required. Another indication of a slow growth rate is the sharp demarcation or short zone of transition between the lesion and adjacent normal bone. This is an example of subsegmental atelectasis. (A) Axial CT image of the distal thigh. A Radiologic Approach to Diseases of the Chest. Basic Radiology, Second Edition (LANGE Clinical Medicine) by Michael Chen (Author), Thomas Pope (Author), David Ott (Author) Overall, this is a high quality book and a nice quick reference that is surprisingly complete for its size. For Case 6-11 (Figure 6-29), what is the next study you should order? These signs suggest a mechanical obstruction and possible strangulation. A. Brainstem infarction B. Brainstem compression from cerebellar infarction C. Brainstem tumor D. Cerebellar astrocytoma E. Posterior fossa hemorrhage 12-5. Catheter is located within the common carotid artery, and contrast material fills internal (arrows) and external (arrowheads) carotid arteries. A gas pattern in distended intestinal loops is usually limited above the point of mechanical obstruction, but functional ileus has a more diffuse distribution in both the small intestine and the colon. C. transcaphoid fracture-dislocation. (A) Normal lumbar myelogram, anteroposterior view. Ischemic colitis is common in older patients and warrants further discussion. The sagittal MR image shows the advantage of MR imaging in this clinical setting. Galactoceles are usually smaller and are most commonly seen in lactating women (Answer C is incorrect). There is no apparent associated calcification. Implementation of the International Code of Practice on Dosimetry in Diagnostic Radiology (TRS 457): Review of Test Results: IAEA Human Health Reports: IAEA Human Health Reports No. However, there is a filling defect in one of the major branches, as exhibited by the lucency outlined by contrast on all sides and indicated by the arrow (E is the correct answer to Question 5-6; Statement C is false). When multiple abdominal radiographic studies are ordered, discussion with the radiologist is appropriate so that the correct sequence can be planned. Functional examinations (SPECT and PET) have also been used in patients with strokelike symptoms to identify regions of the brain at risk for infarction. Discussion Figure 4-27. Several common indications include evaluation of the patient with acute renal failure to exclude postobstructive (hydronephrosis) etiologies, to evaluate for sequelae (scarring) of vesicoureteral reflux in children, and to diagnose simple renal cysts. Finally, regardless of the situation, it is reasonable for the clinician and radiologist to decide together which imaging tests are most appropriate. The primary sign of volume loss in Figure 4-17 B is anterior displacement of the left major fissure on the lateral radiograph. You order conventional radiographs of the knee. Its location is thus defined by identifying the boundaries of the spinal canal. 158 PART 3 BONES AND JOINTS C D Figure 6-2. The attenuation of the x-ray intensity with thickness of material follows an exponential law due to the random hitor-miss nature of the interaction. If the patient also smokes, there is an additive risk, and these patients may be as much as 100 times more likely to develop lung cancer than the nonsmoking individual with no asbestos exposure. 374 PART 5 HEAD AND SPINE being assessed, the patient has altered consciousness, or the clinical examination is positive or equivocal. Barium enema may show a beaking sign adjacent to the twisted point. Echocardiography can also rapidly detect dissection but provides less anatomic detail. Hernias can also be seen more laterally (eg, Spigelian type at the lateral margin of the rectus muscle) and may be associated with incisional scars from previous abdominal surgery. The alveoli, or airspaces, that are normally filled with air have become filled with exudate. Adenoma, like many lesions, has a nonspecific appearance of low signal intensity on T1weighted examinations and slightly high signal intensity on T2-weighted examinations. The term Ghon focus describes the pulmonary lesion that has calcified. appearance of squamous-cell carcinoma is a focal, irregular narrowing with abrupt upper and lower margins, which rarely mimics peptic stricture. Thus, each ray from the source to a given point on the film, such as ray FP in Figure 2-2, conveys information about the sum of the attenuation along a line in the body; that is, anatomic structures are piled on top of each other and flattened into the radiographic image. Berquist TH. The normal caliber of the duct and its branches is highly variable, but normal duct walls should be smooth, without truncation or abrupt narrowing. The curved arrow in Figure 3-41A identifies the enlarged right descending pulmonary artery (C is the correct answer to Question 3-12). Philadelphia: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins; 2001. Stroke during cerebral arteriography occurs either from an embolic event (eg, inadvertent injection of air, thrombus formation on the catheter tip, atherosclerotic plaque dislodged by catheter manipulation) or from catheter-related local vessel trauma (eg, dissections or occlusions). A malignant gastric ulcer, which represents a small minority of all ulcers seen in the stomach, is suggested when the collection of barium within the ulcer is irregular and projects within the gastric lumen (ie, ulcerated neoplastic mass), a smooth line or collar at the ulcer margin is not present, or the rugal folds are nodular and terminate abruptly (Figure 10-25). Selection of an appropriate technique depends on many factors, including the clinical indications for the examination and the efficacy of the various techniques.

B. herpes simplex pneumonia. Lesions are also common within the corpus callosum, brainstem, cerebellar peduncles, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Having learned from the previous case that missed carcinoma often presents as asymmetric density, tumor must remain in the differential diagnosis, and answer E is incorrect. In this case, the gallbladder is distended and the wall is thickened, measuring more than 5 mm, and has multiple lamina, indicating gallbladder wall inflammation from acute cholecystitis (A is the correct answer to Question 11-11). basic radiology second edition lange clinical medicine Oct 25, 2020 Posted By Gilbert Patten Library TEXT ID 954f337a Online PDF Ebook Epub Library thomas l pope david j ott a well illustrated systems based primer on learning radiologic imaging 4 star doodys review basic radiology second edition lange … Aortic dissection as seen in Case 3-16 (Figure 3-46) can be a life-threatening diagnosis. Wherever fat is intermixed with water-containing parenchyma, there is loss of signal intensity on out-of-phase images. with ulcerative colitis (E is the correct answer to Question 10-19). The choice of the initial examination for evaluation of a vascular malformation can be difficult. Occasionally, additional imaging with CT or MR may be required in equivocal masses. Expiratory phase on a PA radiograph. Positioning A technologist performing mammography must include as much breast tissue as possible in the field of view for each image. The radiographic features of duodenitis depend on the severity of the disease and include thickening and nodularity of the duodenal folds or the presence of erosions, which appear as punctuate collections of barium centered on a nodule. 178 PART 3 BONES AND JOINTS Figure 6-33. Figure 11-55. Passive atelectasis (see Figure 4-10) occurs as a result of a space-occupying process within the pleural space. A secondary purpose is to evaluate benign disease, such as cyst formation, infection, implant complication, and trauma. The following brief discussion concerns the appropriate ordering of examinations in clinical situations. Contrast studies such as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) are often helpful in analyzing diseases of the liver, biliary tree, and pancreas. Both kidneys (K) and the psoas muscle shadows (arrowheads) are outlined by a fat shadow. MR perfusion imaging also provides functional information regarding the vascular density (ie, neovascularity) of a tumor, which may help to predict tumor grade or help guide a potential biopsy site. Calcifications of vas deferens. Occasionally, the tumors will enhance brightly. The site of injury is the focal outpouching at the insertion of ductus arteriosus (arrow). GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT A CHAPTER 10 259 B Figure 10-5. First, given that lumpy breasts are a normal variant, when is a lump significant? The most likely diagnosis in Case 3-4 (Figure 3-27) is A. Ebstein’s anomaly. True aneurysms most frequently occur at the cardiac apex and contain all three layers of myocardium. Figure 3-60. Colonoscopy and CTC have both had a substantial GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT A B C D CHAPTER 10 263 Figure 10-10. It is found in older cirrhotic patients in the United States and in younger patients in areas of the Far East and Africa, where it is endemic. Normal intrarenal collecting system. An acute form of silicosis can occur in sandblasters who inhale a massive amount of sand. Retrograde pyelography, often carried out in conjunction with cystoscopy, is performed by placing a small catheter into the distal ureter. Calcifications within the wall of the coronary arteries, as exhibited in Case 3-24 (Figure 3-57), are recognized on conventional radiographs as thin, linear, calcific deposits corresponding to the course of the coronary arteries. Subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) abnormalities may not be apparent. The gallbladder appears as an anechoic pear-shaped structure along the inferior aspect of the liver (Figure 11-2). The fibrosis enhances on CT after contrast material administration and appears on US as increased echogenicity of the periportal sheath surrounding the portal veins. EXERCISE 9-3. Regardless of origin, they may obstruct the biliary ducts, cause biliary colic, and lead to cholangitis. Basic Radiology (Lange Medical Books) by Michael Y. Chen available in Trade Paperback on Powells.com, also read synopsis and reviews. 142 PART 2 CHEST The 53-year-old patient in Case 5-3 has an ill-defined 1.5-cm hardened nodular area in her breast. The echogenicity of the normal renal sinus, however, may be problematic by obscuring or mimicking small stones. On a T1-weighted image, normal adult (yellow/fatty) bone marrow has a “high signal” (ie, it is hyperintense, whitish in color), and CSF has a “low signal” (ie, it is hypointense, or black in color). C. pleural mass. The complication with the pacemaker shown in Case 3-29 (Figure 3-63) is A. right atrial lead dislodgement. As with adenocarcinomas elsewhere in the gastrointestinal tract, a variety of morphologic forms are seen, including polypoid carcinoma (malignant potential discussed previously), ulcerative and Figure 10-50. 2. His orthopedic sports medicine physician noted medial laxity and referred him for an MR scan. Note the associated intrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation (arrow). Although attenuation of the ultrasound beam occurs with air, such as might occur with emphysematous pyelonephritis, the shadowing in those cases is often “dirty” in appearance, being somewhat inhomogeneous (D is incorrect). There is a gradient of pulmonary vascular markings from the bases to the apices on an upright radiograph due to the increased perfusion to the lower lobes. Classically, RCC is associated with the clinical triad mentioned earlier of flank pain, a flank mass, and hematuria, although all three are present in less than 10% of cases. E. Blakemore tube. Note that the image was obtained over the posterior aspect of the patient, so the liver is on the left side of the image. A. Meckel diverticulum B. Small-bowel volvulus C. Adhesions with obstruction D. Polypoid small-bowel tumor E. Anterior abdominal wall hernia 10-15. This information might be useful in such settings as nonaccidental head trauma (eg, child abuse). Although the right is often slightly smaller than the left, the kidneys should be relatively symmetric in size, with a discrepancy B Figure 9-4. The larger the metastatic lesion, generally, the more necrosis and hemorrhage and the more heterogeneous the lesion appears. The left SVC ultimately drains into the coronary sinus, which then enters the right atrium. C. chronic changes of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease of the right hip. However, in the presence of cholelithiasis, the gallbladder almost always shows signs of chronic inflammation histologically, even without symptoms or sonographic findings. Used sticker and some writing and/or highlighting. If the lump persists, diagnostic mammography is indicated. Contrast-enhanced MR imaging may be the only way to confirm this diagnosis, as CSF cytology is often falsely negative. These include cerebral infarction, intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and miscellaneous causes such as dural sinus occlusion with associated venous infarction. Empyema, or an infected pleural fluid collection, can also result in a cavity of air seen on chest radiograph. Therefore, breast cancers are routinely visible in retrospect on previous mammograms if the patient has had frequent screening. What is the most likely diagnosis in Case 8-6 (Figure 8-12)? Imaging artifacts can interfere with accurate interpretation. Blood clots are typically intraluminal filling defects (D is incorrect). What is the most likely diagnosis in Case 11-12 (Figure 11-46)? (B) Compression film (ring of balloon paddle) of the small-bowel loops in the pelvis with the patient in a prone position. Focal small-bowel obstruction is diagnosed on contrast examination and also with cross-sectional imaging (ie, CT or MR) by demonstrating an area of caliber transition from dilated to normal-caliber bowel. The visceral pleural surface that covers the lung creates the interlobar fissures (minor fissure, major fissure) that separate lobes of the lungs. The dilated proximal colon may be seen as an oval structure in the midabdomen or the left upper quadrant, but rarely points into the pelvis (Figure 10-61). The frontal radiograph (Figure 4-53) shows a lobulated mass to the right of the lower thoracic vertebrae. Case 7-1. (A) Large film of the abdomen from a single-contrast barium enema with the patient in the supine position. About one-half of calculi in the urinary tract that are shown on unenhanced helical CT can be detected on plain abdominal films. 4. In fact, although mastectomy is certainly a reasonable treatment for her, local excision would also be an option with these nonaggressive lesions. The small focal spot will result in a sharper image, however, if the longer exposure time required by its selection does not “stop” patient motion; then motion of the patient during the exposure may blur out any sharpness gain realized by use of the small focal spot. Although brain abnormalities in these conditions may be quite obvious on MR imaging, there is one problem: many of these conditions appear very similar, and an exact diagnosis may not be possible. Effaced nerve roots (arrows) can be seen as defects larger than would be expected for a normal nerve root. CHAPTER 3 41 Figure 3-22. Comparison views of the opposite extremity are especially helpful in children, in whom the open physes and accessory centers of ossification may vary considerably from individual to individual but tend to vary less from side to side than among different people. Finally, all chapters end with questions and imaging exercises to enhance and reinforce the principles of each chapter. Severe hyperflexion or hyperextension forces often cause traumatic dislocations. When the subscapularis tendon tears, there is often an associated dislocation of the biceps tendon. B Figure 3-54. Unfortunately, the lower the frequency, the poorer the axial resolution, because objects that are closer together than a wavelength cannot be separated. What is the most likely diagnosis in Case 8-14 (Figure 8-26)? CT is widely used to image the spine in the evaluation of many pathologic conditions.
