Female 50 years old; Reason: Evaluate for progressive disease/myeloma lesions. History: Multiple myeloma post stem cell transplant. Increasing low back pain radiating to bilateral ribs. Evaluate for progressive disease.RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL: 13.8 mCi F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG).BLOOD GLUCOSE (FASTING): 110 mg/dL. Today's CT portion grossly demonstrates numerous lytic lesions involving the skull, spine, pelvis, bilateral proximal femurs and proximal humeri. There is no FDG activity associated with these lesions. The biggest lytic lesions are noted in the L2 vertebral body as well as the T9 vertebral body which is associated with a compression fracture. There are dense solitary foci along the lateral aspect of the left ribs 5, 7, and 10, as well as right rib 10 along the costochondral junction. There are bilateral breast implants.Today's PET examination demonstrates focal uptake in the pituitary gland. The lytic lesion in the L2 vertebral body has an SUV value of 1.5, with the adjacent remaining vertebral body having an SUV value of 2.5. There is associated FDG activity involving the dense foci of the ribs noted on CT above. For example, SUV of the left 5th rib is 1.8. There is normal physiologic activity throughout the GI tract. There is FDG activity along the paraspinal muscles predominately at the mid spine likely related to muscle spasm. There is focal activity in the right axillary region likely due to residual radiotracer in the vein.
1.Numerous lytics lesion involving the skull, spine, pelvis, bilateral proximal femurs and proximal humeri as described above compatible with patient's history of multiple myeloma. There is an associated compression fracture involving the T9 vertebral body which was seen previous spine radiograph. There is no FDG activity associated with these lesions. 2.Uptake involving several ribs bilaterally as described above, associated with increased density on CT. Given the location and appearance on CT, these findings are likely related to previous trauma and represent healing fractures.3.FDG activity in the pituitary gland, which may represent a pituitary adenoma. Suggest clinical correlation or additional anatomical imaging such as MRI.

Ms. Beard is a 44 year old female presenting with a self palpated mass in the right upper outer breast for the past few weeks along with a physician palpated mass in the left lateral breast. Three standard views of both breasts with two spot compression views in both breasts were performed digitally and reviewed with the aid of R2 CAD 9.3. The breast parenchyma is extremely dense, which lowers the sensitivity of mammography.A triangular marker is placed in the palpable area of abnormality in the right upper outer breast and left lateral breast. No discrete mass or area of architectural distortion is identified underneath the marker. There are no suspicious microcalcifications in either breast. BILATERAL BREAST ULTRASOUND
(1) No mammographic or sonographic evidence of malignancy in the right breast, at site of patient's area of concern. This area can be followed by her primary care physician as clinically warranted. If physical exam findings remain concerning, surgical consultation may be warranted. (2) 0.8 cm solid mass with benign sonographic features in the left superior breast. We advocated for short term imaging follow-up, however, patient strongly desired histologic sampling for pathologic confirmation. She will be scheduled for an US-guided biopsy. She is not on any blood thinning medications. All results and recommendations were discussed with the patient. BIRADS: 3 - Probably benign finding.RECOMMENDATION: H - Percutaneous Biopsy/Aspiration.

Brain: Compared to the previous exam, there has been no significant change in the ill-defined T2/FLAIR hyperintensity within the right hippocampus. The associated small enhancing nodule measures 8 x 11 mm (series 1301, image 32) compared to 11 x 11 mm previously and may be minimally smaller, allowing for differences in technique. There is stable surrounding probable vasogenic edema including anterior extension surrounding the right temporal horn. Again seen is smooth diffuse enhancement of the cisternal segment of the right trigeminal nerve without significant change, likely relating to post-treatment changes from the patient's stereotactic radiosurgery for trigeminal neuralgia.T2/FLAIR intensity along the right lateral aspect of the pons including along the root entry zone of the trigeminal nerve, as well as along the nerve root entry zone of the seventh and eighth cranial nerves is similar to prior.Again seen are numerous foci of T2/FLAIR hyperintensity in the periventricular and subcortical white matter with morphology and distribution compatible with known demyelinating disease. Multiple lesions with associated T1 hypointensity are also noted. No new lesions or enhancing lesions to suggest active demyelination. On perfusion evaluation sequences, there is no elevated rCBV in the area of the persistent nodular enhancement in the right mesial temporal lobe although this is limited by adjacent hyperperfusing vasculature.
1.Minimally decreased size of the enhancing nodule in the right hippocampus with stable surrounding ill-defined abnormal signal. No elevation of the rCBV on perfusion imaging although this is somewhat limited by adjacent vasculature. Findings again are favored to represent post-treatment changes.2.Stable enhancement of the cisternal segment of the right trigeminal nerve likely from stereotactic radiation therapy for trigeminal neuralgia. 3.Stable chronic demyelinating lesions. No new lesions or findings to suggest active demyelination. Similar appearance of T2/FLAIR hyperintensity in the right lateral pons.

9-year-old male, rule out calcaneal lesion, stress fracture or infection. There is increased density of the calcaneal apophysis, which is nonspecific and can be seen in healthy children or those with Sever's disease. There is a linear defect in the inferomedial calcaneal apophysis of questionable clinical significance. A small lucent focus in the posterior tuberosity of the calcaneus is nonspecific and most likely corresponds to a focus of signal abnormality seen on the prior MRI. The remainder of the calcaneus is unremarkable apart from a fine tubular lucency which may represent the biopsy tract. We see no fracture line or soft tissue abnormality.
Nonspecific sclerosis of the calcaneal apophysis with small lucency in the posterior calcaneal tuberosity as described above. While it is conceivable this could represent sequela of prior infection or CRMO, the possibility of Sever's disease is also considered.

Reason: S/p lap myotomy and partial fundoplication 7 years ago. History: dysphagia Scout radiograph of the chest unremarkable.Presbyesophagus with severe esophageal dysmotility including proximal escape was noted. There was circumferential cervical esophageal narrowing, lumen measured 0.6 cm in the smallest dimension with prestenotic dilatation noted (series 5). As study progressed, there was delay in transit past the level of the patient's fundoplication wrap, which may reflect an element of partial obstruction. Type II fundoplication migration was also seen. There was mild holdup of the barium pill at the gastroesophageal junction but pill eventually traversed this level. During the exam, no spontaneous or provoked gastroesophageal reflux was observed. TOTAL FLUOROSCOPY TIME: 7:46 minutes

There is prominence of the lateral and third ventricles as well as sulcal prominence. The fourth ventricle appears within normal limits. The corpus callosum appears thin especially anteriorly (less than 2 mm) but is intact. The cisterns remain patent. There is no midline shift or mass effect. There are no areas of abnormal signal or pathological enhancement. There is no diffusion abnormality. Myelination in the left anterior limb of the internal capsule is not well visualized, however the remaining myelination is within normal limits. Specifically, the optic radiations are well myelinated. This may be artifactual in etiology. No extra-axial fluid collection is identified. No tonsillar herniation. Normal flow-voids are demonstrated in the major intracranial vascular structures. The midline structures and craniocervical junction are within normal limits. The orbits are overall normal. The globes are intact. There is no abnormal enhancing lesions or abnormal signal. No retrobulbar hematoma. The optic nerves are well visualized and appear normal as well as symmetric. Optic chiasm is unremarkable.
1.Prominence of the lateral and third ventricles may in part be due to benign external enlargement of the subarachnoid spaces of infancy given the patient's age, which should resolve by two years of age, however more diffuse sulcal prominence may suggest a superimposed component of global volume loss.2.The corpus callosum is thinned which may be developmental.3.Myelination of the anterior limb of the left internal capsule is not well visualized, however evaluation is somewhat limited due to lack of T1 inversion recovery images. This may be artifactual, however attention to this structure on follow-up is recommended.4.No specific MR abnormalities of the orbits or optic pathway.

53-year-old female status post surgery Resection of the fifth ray through the fifth metatarsal diaphysis is again noted. Osteolysis of the tuft of the distal phalanx of the great toe is consistent with osteomyelitis. A defect along the plantar aspect of the calcaneal tuberosity is compatible with osteomyelitis and perhaps postoperative changes. There is gas density adjacent to the heel pad, tracking proximally along the posterior calcaneus into the leg approximately 11 to 12 cm proximal to the calcaneus. Furthermore, there is new angular deformity along the superior aspect of the posterior calcaneal tuberosity that we suspect reflects a complete fracture of the calcaneus in the coronal plane with slight retraction of the posterior fragment by the Achilles' tendon.
1. Osteomyelitis of the calcaneus with what appears to be a fracture through the posterior tuberosity and with soft tissue gas extending to the lower leg. If further evaluation is clinically warranted, dedicated leg radiographs may be considered.2. Osteomyelitis of the distal phalanx of the great toe.Dr. Shi was notified of these findings at the time of dictation.

Postoperative as from prior right parietal craniotomy as well as post radiation changes are again seen. There is further slight decreased extent of confluent subcortical T2/FLAIR hyperintensity within the subcortical white matter of the paramedian parietal lobes bilaterally, slightly greater on the right and extending into the right occipital pole. The overall confluence of associated nodular and irregular enhancement in this area has decreased as well. The previously identified right paramedian parietal dural based heterogeneously enhancing tissue measuring 11 x 8 mm on 1101/113 on the current exam is not significant change, and again extends into the superior sagittal sinus on the right side. Adjacent portions of the superior sagittal sinus are again not contrast opacified, presumably thrombosed.In addition, there is no interval development of an extra-axial oval-shaped area of enhancement along the right posterior lateral parietal region with associated FLAIR hyperintensity. This measures 5 x 10 mm on 1101/123, and has a plaque-like appearance. Also, near the right posterior parietal convexity, there has been increased extra-axial convexity of dural based enhancement, best seen on 1102/85, measuring 7 x 10 mm on 1101/147. There is mild associated FLAIR hyperintensity.The ventricles and sulci are within normal limits. The cisterns remain patent. There is no midline shift or mass effect. There are no new areas of abnormal intraaxial signal or pathological enhancement. There is no diffusion abnormality. No extra-axial fluid collection is identified.Normal flow-voids are demonstrated in the remainder of the major intracranial vascular structures. There is an incidental partially empty sella. The remainder of the midline structures and craniocervical junction are within normal limits.
1. Interval further expected evolution of posttreatment changes in bilateral paramedian parietal lobes and extending into the right occipital lobe. Further decreased signal abnormality and confluence of enhancement in these locations, likely representing resolving radiation necrosis.2. Interval development of small dural based extra-axial mass along the lateral margin of the craniotomy flap, as well as increased prominence of a small but now conspicuous extra-axial mass near the right posterior parietal convexity. These are suspicious for recurrent meningiomas.3. Stable irregular enhancing soft tissue along the right side of the superior sagittal sinus, which remains partially thrombosed.

55-year-old male with lung cancer non-small cell. Newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer in need of PET for staging.RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL: 13.780 mCi F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG).BLOOD GLUCOSE (FASTING): 112 mg/dL. Today's CT portion grossly demonstrates an enlarged right lower paratracheal lymph node. Additional smaller right paratracheal lymph nodes. Right upper lobe consolidation with air bronchograms, significantly decreased compared to prior. Additional adjacent nodular opacity. Hypoattenuating focus in the left kidney likely represents a renal cyst. Atherosclerotic calcification of the abdominal aorta and its branches. Today's PET examination demonstrates increased FDG activity involving one right hilar lymph node and several right paratracheal lymph nodes. For reference, right lower paratracheal lymph node that is enlarged on the CT portion measures a maximum SUV of 5.2.Mild increased FDG activity involving the right upper lobe patchy consolidation with air bronchograms, measuring a maximum SUV of 4.0, likely representing pneumonia.Nodular focus adjacent to right upper lobe consolidation demonstrates increased FDG activity, measuring a maximum SUV of 3.8.Focus of FDG activity within the right triceps muscle is nonspecific. Small focus of FDG activity involving a left rib is also nonspecific, measuring a maximum SUV of 2.2.
1.Nodular focus of FDG activity in the right upper lobe suspicious for primary malignancy or metastasis.2.Multiple hypermetabolic right hilar and right paratracheal lymph nodes also suspicious for tumor involvement.3.Significant decrease in right upper lobe consolidation compatible with history of resection of mucous plugging.

Assess pleural effusion. LUNGS AND PLEURA: Volume of pleural fluid not significantly changed in the interval, with a large right and moderate left collection. Compressive atelectasis of the lung parenchyma appears proportionate to volume of pleural fluid and unchanged.Mild mosaic attenuation of the aerated lung parenchyma, with scattered new foci of groundglass opacity in the anterior lung fields and lingula, left greater than right. Areas of lobular hypoattenuation are more suggestive of air trapping than hypoperfusion.No evidence of pleural enhancement, loculation or layering densities within the fluid to suggest hemothorax or empyema, though this would only be visible at a late stage.MEDIASTINUM AND HILA: Beam hardening artifact limits assessment for detail.In the region of the left atrial appendage, there continues to be subtle relative hyperattenuation compared to the remainder of the left atrium (series 4, image 44). While this could represent a dilated and high riding atrial appendage, the possibility of blood products in this area may be considered in the appropriate clinical context as this finding appears new from the 9/27/2014 examination.Tracheostomy tube terminates above the carina. Enteric tube can be followed to the distal stomach. Small amount of debris in the trachea and right mainstem bronchus consistent with aspirated secretions. Intermittent right lower lobe endoluminal obstruction presumably due to debris in airways.Multichamber cardiomegaly unchanged. Left ventricular assist device causes extensive streak artifact, limiting evaluation. Right jugular dual-lumen catheter distal tip at the SVC/RA junction. Left subclavian pacemaker/AICD with leads in the right atrial appendage and right ventricular apex. Prosthetic mitral ring. Native coronary arteries are heavily calcified. Ectatic ascending aorta, not reliably measurable, approximately 4-cm in AP dimension (4/40).Small (12-13 mm) nonspecific fluid collection posterior to the right brachiocephalic vein near a1 millimeter calcification or pledget, new from the study of 1/10/2015 though the calcification/pledget was present on the prior study.Small circumferential pericardial fluid collection unchanged. Heterogeneous enlarged thyroid gland containing coarse calcifications, poorly seen.CHEST WALL: Sternotomy fracture fragments are well approximated and the closure devices are in expected position. Subcutaneous fluid and edema similar to previous exam.UPPER ABDOMEN: Absence of enteric contrast material limits sensitivity for abdominal pathology. Large volume of intra-abdominal fluid incompletely assessed due to limited scanning range. Heterogeneous attenuation pattern of the liver unchanged. Gallbladder is partially collapsed and cannot be accurately assessed.
1. New small lobular foci of groundglass opacity in the anterior lung fields bilaterally could represent early ARDS or pulmonary contusion. Volume of pleural fluid and creative atelectasis is similar to the previous study; apparent differences on plain film likely are related to patient positioning.2. The region of the left atrial appendage appears to be of higher density than blood pool and has changed in configuration from the 9/27/2014 examination. While this might represent dilatation of an anatomically high riding left atrial appendage, the possibility of blood products in this area may be considered in the appropriate clinical context. This finding is unchanged from the 1/10/2015 exam.3. Small fluid collection adjacent to the right brachiocephalic vein, new from previous, possibly an organizing hematoma, correlate for recent surgical intervention or line placement in this area.

There are posttreatment findings in the bilateral temporal lobes with a left-sided craniotomy. Large heterogeneous area of flair hyperintensity in the mid left temporal lobe extending into the temporal pole and involving the cortex and subcortical white matter is similar to the prior exam. There are foci of T1 shortening as well as susceptibility. There is a new cystic focus within this lesion (4/12). Patchy enhancement within the posterior aspect has minimally increased, however diffusion restriction within this region of enhancement has significantly increased. Increased T2 signal without associated enhancement or diffusion restriction in the right temporal pole is unchanged.An anterior right frontal lobe focus measuring 1.5 x 1.0 (5/23), previously 0.9 x 0.5 cm shows increased diffusion restriction, enhancement and edema (8/23) as well as increased relative cerebral blood flow on perfusion imaging.Periventricular white matter changes as well as increased T2 hyperintensity within the bilateral thalami is overall similar to the prior exam, although there is small focus of slightly increased T2 signal within the left cingulate gyrus (5/23) without associated enhancement or diffusion abnormality which is increased from the prior exam but unchanged from the exam of 5/25/2013. A focus of diffusion restriction involving the splenium of the corpus callosum without associated enhancement or increased cerebral blood flow is unchanged. The ventricles and sulci are within normal limits are unchanged. The cisterns remain patent. There is no midline shift or mass effect. Normal flow-voids are demonstrated in the major intracranial vascular structures. The midline structures and craniocervical junction are within normal limits.
1.Multifocal glioblastoma with enhancing ovoid focus in the right anterior frontal lobe demonstrating interval increase in size and increased diffusion restriction and relative cerebral blood flow. Finding is highly suspicious for tumor progression.2.Large focus of T2 abnormality in the left temporal pole demonstrates stable to slight interval increase in enhancement and diffusion restriction which may suggest progression. Continued attention on follow up is recommended.3.Large focus of T2 abnormality in the right temporal pole without enhancement or diffusion restriction is unchanged.4.Small focus of increased T2 signal in the left cingulate gyrus is increased in prominence from the most recent exam but unchanged from remote exams.

Lung cancer. LUNGS AND PLEURA: Numerous bilateral suspicious pulmonary nodules. Previously referenced lesions as follows:Right lower lobe cystic and groundglass lesion increased in size, 3 x 1.7 cm (4/41), compared to 2.5 x 1 .Seen previously. The cranial aspect of this lesion has developed a punctate soft tissue density component at its apex (4/39).Reference right middle lobe lesion unchanged at 16 x 12 mm (4/49).Solid 6-mm nodule in the right lower lobe unchanged (4/36).New area of focal vascular dilatation compatible with an endovascular lesion left lower lobe (4/55). Previously seen endovascular lesion left lower lobe in an adjacent segment of the left lower lobe has also enlarged significantly since the previous examination, from 7 to 12-mm in length (4/60). Additional small similar foci with in the same lobe unchanged.Mixed density part solid nodule right lower lobe costophrenic angle region measures 16 x 10 mm (4/68), previously 15 x 9 mm.New solid nodule lateral aspect of right costophrenic angle (4/67). An adjacent nodule in the same area (4/65) has enlarged and become cavitary.No pneumothorax. Emphysema as well as upper lobe peripheral and peribronchial irregular cysts indeterminate but mildly suspicious for Pulmonary Langerhans Lell Histiocytosis.MEDIASTINUM AND HILA: Severe coronary artery calcifications. Normal heart size. No pericardial fluid enlarged lymph nodes.CHEST WALL: Chronic T7 and T8 compression fractures..UPPER ABDOMEN: Absence of enteric contrast material limits sensitivity for abdominal pathology. No significant abnormality noted..
1. Enlarging endovascular lesions left lower lobe most compatible with tumor emboli from the patient's known bladder cancer.2. New solid nodule right lower lobe, also consistent with a metastasis.3. Multiple additional suspicious sub-solid nodules, some with cystic components, in the lungs bilaterally with growth of a right lower lobe lesion, most compatible with a primary pulmonary neoplasm. The remainder of the suspicious nodules are not significantly changed but remain highly suspicious for synchronous sites of pulmonary neoplasm.

50 year-old female with history of headache. Evaluate for intracranial hemorrhage. No intracranial hemorrhage is identified. No intracranial mass or evidence of mass-effect. No mass, midline shift or uncal herniation. Gray-white differentiation is maintained. Sulci and ventricles are within normal limits for age, without evidence of hydrocephalus. No extra-axial collections. There are scattered areas of hypoattenuation in the periventricular and subcortical white matter, which are nonspecific, but favored to represent chronic small vessel ischemic changes.Interval improvement of mucosal thickening in the maxillary sinuses, with mild residual. The mastoid air cells are clear. Mild right preauricular oval soft tissue which likely represents a lymph node, which is not enlarged by size criteria. Calvarium is intact.
1. No evidence of intracranial hemorrhage or mass effect. Mild chronic small vessel ischemic changes. Please note CT is insensitive for the detection of acute non-hemorrhagic infarcts, and MRI should be considered if there is continued clinical suspicion.2. Mild residual mucosal thickening in the maxillary sinuses.

70 year old female who was recalled from screening mammogram for left breast calcifications and right breast asymmetry. History breast carcinoma in a maternal cousin in her late 20s. Bilateral Diagnostic Mammogram: An ML view of each breast, multiple spot compression views of the right breast, and multiple spot magnification views of the left breast were performed digitally and reviewed with the aid of R2 CAD 9.3. The breast parenchyma is composed of scattered fibroglandular density, unchanged in pattern and distribution. The asymmetry within the upper outer right breast partially disperses on spot compression imaging. A 4-mm focal asymmetry within the right upper outer breast persists on spot compression imaging.On magnification views, the question calcifications within the left breast are present along a vascular distribution, and are deemed benign.Benign appearing lymph nodes are projected over both axillae. Right Breast Ultrasound: On physical examination, no palpable abnormality is identified. The targeted right ultrasound is performed for the mammographic area of concern. At the 10 o'clock position of the right breast, 8 cm from the nipple, there is a circumscribed 0.4-cm normal morphology intramammary lymph node, corresponding to the 0.4-cm asymmetry on mammogram. A rest of dense breast tissue is present at the 10 o'clock radian of the right breast, 6 cm from the nipple, corresponding to the larger area of asymmetry within the upper outer right breast
1. Left breast calcifications, vascular in origin.2. Normal morphology right intramammary lymph node, and a rest of dense breast tissue within the upper outer right breast, corresponding to the asymmetry seen on prior mammogram. No mammographic evidence of malignancy. As long as the patient's physical examination remains normal, bilateral screening mammogram is recommended annually. Results and recommendation were discussed with the patient.BIRADS: 2 - Benign finding.RECOMMENDATION: NS - Screening Mammogram.
