Imaging of cerebral venous thrombosis: current techniques, spectrum of findings, and diagnostic pitfalls.
Cerebral venous thrombosis is a relatively uncommon but serious neurologic disorder that is potentially reversible with prompt diagnosis and appropriate medical care. Because the possible causal factors and clinical manifestations of this disorder are many and varied, imaging plays a primary role in the diagnosis. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, un-enhanced computed tomography (CT), unenhanced...
متن کاملPulsatile hepatofugal flow in the portal vein: hallmark of a congenital hepatoportal arteriovenous fistula.
After an uneventful pregnancy and perinatal period, the second child of healthy nonconsanguineous parents was admitted at the age of 6 weeks because of failure to thrive. On physical examination, he had massive ascites and splenomegaly. He had mild normochrome anemia (hemoglobin, 5.4 mmol/L; normal, >5.9 mmol/L); blood smear and platelet count were normal, as were liver function tests. Screenin...
متن کاملGallbladder adenomyomatosis: imaging findings, tricks and pitfalls
Gallbladder adenomyomatosis (GA) is a benign alteration of the gallbladder wall that can be found in up to 9% of patients. GA is characterized by a gallbladder wall thickening containing small bile-filled cystic spaces (i.e., the Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses, RAS). The bile contained in RAS may undergo a progressive concentration process leading to crystal precipitation and calcification developm...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Portal Imaging System Performance for an Elekta Precise Linac in Radiotherapy
Introduction: Electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) provide two- and three-dimensional planar and volumetric cone beam images to improve the accuracy of radiation treatment delivery. Periodic quality assurance (QA) of EPIDs is essential for dosimetric verification in radiotherapy. In this study, a QA program was implemented to evaluate the function of the EPID to be confident in applying co...
متن کاملBlunt diaphragmatic lesions: Imaging findings and pitfalls
Blunt diaphragmatic lesions (BDL) are uncommon in trauma patients, but they should be promptly recognized as a delayed diagnosis increases morbidity and mortality. It is well known that BDL are often overlooked at initial imaging, mainly because of distracting injuries to other organs. Sonography may directly depict BDL only in a minor number of cases. Chest X-ray has low sensitivity in detecti...
