Multidetector Computed Tomography of the Acute Abdomen in the Immunocompromised Host: A Pictorial Review

Publication year: 2009Source: Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology, Volume 38, Issue 4, July-August 2009, Pages 145-155Simon P., Spencer , Niall, Power , Rodney H., ReznekImmunocompromised patients include those receiving chemotherapy for malignant disease, post-transplant patients, patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), and those receiving steroids for autoimmune diseases. Advances in transplantation, oncology, and the treatment of AIDS have extended these patients' life expectancies and thereby increased the immunocompromised population. Classical clinical signs of abdominal sepsis may be absent in the immunocompromised host. Consequently, the radiologist is increasingly called on to diagnose specific acute intra-abdominal complications associated with immunodeficiency. This review describes the etiology of the acute abdomen in this heterogeneous group of immunocompromised patients, causes including opportunistic infections, neutropenic enterocolitis, complications of therapy, and...

Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Potential Pitfalls and Artifacts

Publication year: 2009Source: Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology, Volume 38, Issue 4, July-August 2009, Pages 156-169Xia, Wang , Spencer, KochWith the recent use of 18-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) for tumor staging and treatment response, it is important to recognize many pitfalls, artifacts, and benign uptakes that are commonly encountered. Normal physiology can explain many regions of increased FDG activity, as well as incidental benign tumors and benign metabolic conditions. Recognition of characterization of benign causes and physiologic variants for FDG uptake are discussed to avoid improper characterization as a malignancy. A basic understanding of PET/computed tomographic physics is also discussed, in relation to attenuation correction artifacts caused by metallic implants and contrast agents in the gastrointestinal tract,...

Computed Tomographic Appearance of Chest Ports and Catheters: A Pictorial Review for Noninterventional Radiologists

Publication year: 2009Source: Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology, Volume 38, Issue 3, May-June 2009, Pages 99-110Maria Lourdes, Díaz , Alberto, Villanueva , Maria Jose, Herraiz , Jose Juan, Noguera , Alberto, Alonso-Burgos , ...Medical practice has expanded the need for long-term central venous catheterization. Chest ports play an important role in the management of oncology patients who need frequent blood products, chemotherapy, and other intravenous drugs. Imaging-guided placement of chest ports and catheters (CR) is a safe and efficacious procedure. Moreover, many cases of catheter-induced central thrombosis go unrecognized, but the incidence of pulmonary embolism in this group may be as high as 12%. Multi-detector computed tomography represents the main imaging method in the follow-up of oncologic patients. We review the radiologic features, mainly on multi-detector computed tomography, of CR commonly used for...

Ultrasound of Wrist Pain

Publication year: 2009Source: Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology, Volume 38, Issue 3, May-June 2009, Pages 111-125Srinivasan, Harish , John, O'Neill , Karen, Finlay , Erik, Jurriaans , Lawrence, FriedmanUltrasound is a valuable imaging modality for evaluation of patients presenting with wrist pain. An important advantage is the ability to correlate the site of pain or discomfort with the underlying sonographic appearance. The capacity to dynamically assess the wrist and use the contralateral asymptomatic wrist for comparison purposes are strengths of ultrasound as a diagnostic tool. This pictorial review deals with the sonographic assessment of the commonly encountered wrist pathologies.

Technical Essentials of Hepatic Doppler Sonography

Publication year: 2009Source: Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology, Volume 38, Issue 2, March-April 2009, Pages 53-60Min Ju, Kim , Kyoung Won, Kim , So Yeon, Kim , Jeong Kon, Kim , Hyung Jin, Won , ...Doppler ultrasound is an important diagnostic tool for detecting hepatic vascular abnormalities, especially following liver transplantation. Doppler ultrasound has an advantage over computed tomography or other imaging modalities in that it is noninvasive, can be used intraoperatively or immediately postoperatively at the patient's bedside, and is free from radiation hazard. Doppler ultrasound is also sensitive to very slow flow and is not limited by an optimal temporal window because it is a real-time examination. However, this examination is highly operator-dependent. For a proper evaluation of patient hemodynamic status, optimization of Doppler parameters and liberal use of spectral analysis will help...

Microwave Ablation Technology: What Every User Should Know

Publication year: 2009Source: Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology, Volume 38, Issue 2, March-April 2009, Pages 61-67Christopher L., BraceMicrowave ablation is a relatively new technology under development and testing to treat the same types of cancer that can be treated with radiofrequency ablation. Microwave energy has several possible benefits over radiofrequency energy for tumor ablation but, because clinical microwave ablation systems are not widespread, the underlying principles and technologies may not be as familiar. The basic microwave ablation system contains many of the same components as a radiofrequency ablation system: a generator, a power distribution system, and an interstitial applicator. This article attempts to provide an overview of each of these components, outline their functions and roles, and...

Pharyngeal Dysphagia: What the Radiologist Needs to Know

Publication year: 2009Source: Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology, Volume 38, Issue 1, January-February 2009, Pages 17-32Patrick D., Grant , Desiree E., Morgan , Francis J., Scholz , Cheri L., CanonDysphagia is defined as difficulty in swallowing. Oropharyngeal dysphagia is defined as difficulty in moving the bolus from the mouth to the esophagus. The best initial evaluation of suspected oropharyngeal dysphagia is a barium study which can evaluate motility of the oropharynx and hypopharynx and provide double-contrast views that may identify structural or mucosal abnormalities. Pharyngeal diverticula, Zenker's and Killian–Jamieson diverticula, and pharyngeal pouches are readily identified on these studies. Zenker's diverticula are the commonest diverticulum implicated in pharyngeal dysphagia and typically occur in the setting of cricopharyngeal dysfunction. The radiologist must not only diagnose these diverticula but also understand...

Pancreas transplants.

Related Articles Pancreas transplants. Clin Radiol. 2009 Jul;64(7):714-23 Authors: Chandra J, Phillips RR, Boardman P, Gleeson FV, Anderson EM Cadaveric, whole pancreas transplantation has proved an effective therapy in the treatment of long-standing type 1 diabetes mellitus and is capable of achieving an insulin-independent eugyclaemic state. As a result, this procedure is being increasingly performed. However, the surgical procedure is complex and unfamiliar to many radiologists. Imaging with computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) gives excellent results and can be used confidently to diagnose vascular, enteric, and immune-mediated complications. We present a review of the normal post-transplantation appearance and the features of early and late complications. PMID: 19520216 [PubMed - in process]

Evaluation of the incidence of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis in patients with moderate renal insufficiency administered gadobenate dimeglumine for MRI.

Related Articles Evaluation of the incidence of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis in patients with moderate renal insufficiency administered gadobenate dimeglumine for MRI. Clin Radiol. 2009 Jul;64(7):706-13 Authors: Bryant BJ, Im K, Broome DR AIM: To determine the incidence of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) in stage 3 chronic kidney disease patients following intravenous exposure to gadobenate dimeglumine. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective study was performed on 168 consecutive patients at a single institution with stage 3 chronic kidney disease who underwent clinically-indicated contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations with gadobenate dimeglumine from January 2007 to March 2008. All patients were contacted by phone by investigators 3 months after MRI to verify the presence or absence of NSF signs or symptoms. If signs or symptoms suggestive of NSF developed, dermatologic referral was made and confirmatory skin biopsy performed if indicated. RESULTS: One hundred and eighty contrast-enhanced MRI examinations with gadobenate dimeglumine were performed on the 168 patients. Twenty patients were lost to follow-up, but 160 incidents of contrast medium exposure were followed up for 3-months and 105 incidents were followed up for 6 months. The mean contrast medium dose per weight was 0.093 mmol/kg (range 0.042-0.153 mmol/kg). The mean estimated creatinine clearance was 50.4 ml/min/1.73 m(2) (range from 30-59 ml/min/1.73 m(2)). Ten patients developed skin rashes during the 3-month follow-up period, but none were confirmed to represent NSF (0% prevalence rate). No other signs or symptoms of NSF were reported. CONCLUSION: Based on this limited study, NSF does not appear to occur in patients with stage 3 chronic kidney disease exposed to intravenous gadobenate dimeglumine for MRI at standard dosing of approximately 0.1 mmol/kg.

Impact of integrated PET/CT in the staging of oesophageal cancer: a UK population-based cohort study.

Related Articles Impact of integrated PET/CT in the staging of oesophageal cancer: a UK population-based cohort study. Clin Radiol. 2009 Jul;64(7):699-705 Authors: Noble F, Bailey D, , Tung K, Byrne JP AIM: To document the impact of integrated positron-emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) on the management of a cohort of UK patients undergoing PET/CT as part of their staging investigations for potentially curable oesophageal cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A multicentre, prospective study of newly diagnosed patients with oesophageal cancer undergoing PET/CT was set up across five cancer networks covering a total population of 6.6 million. Data were prospectively collected for cases diagnosed between 1 November 2006 and 31 October 2007. RESULTS: One hundred and ninety-one patients underwent PET/CT, with 31 (16%) positive for possible metastatic disease. Amongst the 31 positive examinations, 18 (9.4%) were confirmed to have metastatic disease, and 13 (6.5%) patients had no subsequent evidence of metastatic disease, although in three (1.6%) of these a second previously unsuspected pathology was diagnosed. Two patients had false-negative PET/CT and were found to have metastatic disease. The results of the PET/CT examination down-staged 10 (5%) patients thought to have coeliac/M1a node involvement on CT. Fifteen of 110 (13%) patients with stage 3 or 4 disease at CT and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) had confirmed metastatic disease at PET/CT, compared with none of 18 with stage 2b, three of 52 (6%) with stage 2a, and none of 10 with stage 1 disease. CONCLUSION: This study confirms the role of PET/CT in a multicentre UK setting in the management of patients with potentially curable carcinoma of the oesophagus, improving the accuracy of pre-treatment staging compared with CT and EUS alone. Early tumours infrequently show evidence of metastasis on PET/CT, although further data are required to confidently determine the stage of tumours where PET/CT has no additional value.

Are UK radiologists satisfied with the training and support received in suspected child abuse?

Related Articles Are UK radiologists satisfied with the training and support received in suspected child abuse? Clin Radiol. 2009 Jul;64(7):690-8 Authors: Leung RS, Nwachuckwu C, Pervaiz A, Wallace C, Landes C, Offiah AC AIM: To determine current practice and perceptions of the adequacy of training and support received for the reporting of skeletal surveys in suspected physical child abuse. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A list of telephone numbers of UK hospitals with a radiology department was obtained from the Royal College of Radiologists. One hundred hospitals were then randomly selected for inclusion in the survey. An 18-item questionnaire was successfully administered to consultant radiologists from 84 departments. RESULTS: Sixty-one percent of departments had a named radiologist to report their skeletal surveys, 16% assigned surveys to a random radiologist, and 23% referred them elsewhere. Only 52% of departments had a dedicated paediatric radiologist, thus in a significant proportion of departments (25%) initial reports on skeletal surveys for physical abuse were provided by non-paediatric radiologists. Fifteen percent did not have ready access to a paediatric radiology opinion. Sixty-one percent thought that the service could be improved. Expert evidence was provided by 5% of respondents. Seventy-three percent would never consider providing expert evidence, even if given adequate radiology and/or legal training. CONCLUSION: The survey shows significant dissatisfaction amongst consultant radiologists with the current service, confirms a low number of paediatric radiologists taking on this work, and suggests the potential to increase numbers of radiology child abuse experts by 27% if given improved training and support. Appropriate service and education strategies should be implemented. PMID: 19520213 [PubMed - in process]

A simple method to approximate liver size on cross-sectional images using living liver models.

Related Articles A simple method to approximate liver size on cross-sectional images using living liver models. Clin Radiol. 2009 Jul;64(7):682-9 Authors: Muggli D, Müller MA, Karlo C, Fornaro J, Marincek B, Frauenfelder T AIM: To assess whether a simple. diameter-based formula applicable to cross-sectional images can be used to calculate the total liver volume. MATERIALS AND METHODS: On 119 cross-sectional examinations (62 computed tomography and 57 magnetic resonance imaging) a simple, formula-based method to approximate the liver volume was evaluated. The total liver volume was approximated measuring the largest craniocaudal (cc), ventrodorsal (vd), and coronal (cor) diameters by two readers and implementing the equation: Vol(estimated)=cc x vd x cor x 0.31. Inter-rater reliability, agreement, and correlation between liver volume calculation and virtual liver volumetry were analysed. RESULTS: No significant disagreement between the two readers was found. The formula correlated significantly with the volumetric data (r>0.85, p<0.0001). In 81% of cases the error of the approximated volume was <10% and in 92% of cases <15% compared to the volumetric data. CONCLUSION: Total liver volume can be accurately estimated on cross-sectional images using a simple, diameter-based equation. PMID: 19520212 [PubMed - in process]

Sarcoid-like reaction to malignancy on whole-body integrated (18)F-FDG PET/CT: prevalence and disease pattern.

Related Articles Sarcoid-like reaction to malignancy on whole-body integrated (18)F-FDG PET/CT: prevalence and disease pattern. Clin Radiol. 2009 Jul;64(7):675-81 Authors: Chowdhury FU, Sheerin F, Bradley KM, Gleeson FV AIM: To evaluate the prevalence of sarcoid-like reaction to malignancy detected using integrated 2-[(18)F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG) positron-emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients undergoing staging or restaging of solid-organ malignancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A systematic search was performed using the institutional radiology information system of 2048 consecutive PET/CT examinations performed in cancer patients at a tertiary-referral centre. Cases that were considered suspicious for sarcoid-like reaction were identified from the initial radiological report and were retrospectively reviewed by three experienced PET/CT reporters. RESULTS: Sarcoid-like reaction was initially suspected in 23 of the 2048 (1.1%) FDG PET/CT examinations, with the diagnosis confirmed histologically or by clinico-radiological follow-up in 13 of the 23 cases (57%). Sarcoid-like reaction was more commonly seen in patients undergoing FDG PET/CT for restaging of suspected recurrence rather than for primary tumour staging (77% versus 23%; p=0.05). The mean maximum standardized uptake value (SUV(max)) of confirmed hilar and mediastinal sarcoid-like reaction was 7.3 (range 3.1-13.6). Symmetric hilar uptake was demonstrated in 11 of the 13 (85%) and all 13 had additional mediastinal nodal uptake. Pulmonary uptake was seen in seven of the 13 cases (54%). Extra-thoracic involvement was present in eight of the 13 (61.5%), including nodal, splenic, and hepatic lesions. CONCLUSION: Sarcoid-like reaction was suspected in 1.1% of cancer patients at FDG PET/CT examination, with confirmation of the diagnosis in 0.6%. With the increasing use of FDG PET/CT in cancer patients, it is important to be aware of the prevalence of this uncommon, but important, disease entity and to consider this diagnosis in appropriate cases in order to avoid a false-positive interpretation of metastatic disease.
