Multidetector CT of pancreatic hemangiopericytoma

Multidetector CT of pancreatic hemangiopericytoma

Hemangiopericytoma is an aggressive, highly metastatic tumor of the soft tissues and meninges. Metastases have been reported in the liver, lungs, bones and rarely other organs. To the best of our knowledge, 18 cases of pancreatic metastases have been reported, but none have been described in the radiology literature. We report a case of hemangiopericytoma with metastasis to the pancreas and des...

Pancreatic Head Mass from Metastatic Meningeal Hemangiopericytoma

Purpose. To illustrate the propensity of meningeal hemangiopericytoma to spread extraneurally, as a distinction to the ordinary meningioma.Patients or subjects. A patient with long history of meningeal hemangiopericytoma was reported.Methods. A case report on meningeal hemangiopericytoma with a literature review was presented.Results. The patient has multiple local recurrence as well as distant...

Ring artefact in multidetector CT.

To cite: Artul S. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2013201379 DESCRIPTION High-resolution tomographic images acquired with a digital X-ray detector are often degraded by the so-called ring artefacts. Ring artefacts are the concentric rings superimposed on tomographic images. Artefacts in general can seriously degrade the quality of multidetector CT ...

Comparison of Multidetector CT and Gadobutrol-Enhanced MR Imaging for Evaluation of Small, Solid Pancreatic Lesions

OBJECTIVE To compare multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and MRI for lesion conspicuity, as well as the detection and characterization of small solid pancreatic lesions (SPLs). MATERIALS AND METHODS 193 patients with small SPLs (< 3 cm) and 52 patients with normal pancreas who underwent both multiphasic MDCT and gadobutrol-enhanced MRI were included in our study. Two radiologists blinded...
