EXAMINATION: CT of the abdomen and pelvis INDICATION: ___ with likely malignancy of your labs and ultrasound, presenting with worsening abdominal pain. No previous CT imaging. Ultrasound done at ___. NO_PO contrast// Malignancy, ascites, obstruction TECHNIQUE: Single phase split bolus contrast: MDCT axial images were acquired through the abdomen following intravenous contrast administration with split bolus technique. Oral contrast was not administered.Coronal and sagittal reformations were performed and reviewed on PACS. DOSE: Total DLP (Body) = 839 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: LOWER CHEST: Visualized lung fields demonstrate bilateral pleural effusions, small to moderate on the left, trace on the right, associated with bibasilar atelectasis. ABDOMEN: Moderate volume ascites is noted with extensive omental caking consistent with peritoneal carcinomatosis. There is peritoneal nodularity most notably in the deep pelvis. HEPATOBILIARY: There are multiple hepatic hypodense lesions which are poorly defined and highly concerning for metastatic disease. The largest of these resides within segment 6 measuring approximately 5.3 x 5.9 x 5.0 cm. Main portal vein is patent. The gallbladder is unremarkable. Common bile duct is nondilated. Perihepatic ascites is moderate in volume. PANCREAS: A pancreatic tail lesion is highly concerning for primary malignancy, measuring 3.0 x 2.4 cm (02:33). There is no pancreatic ductal dilatation. SPLEEN: The spleen is normal. A tiny hypodensity within the mid body of the spleen on series 2, image 29 is of doubtful clinical significance. The splenic vein is occluded and there are numerous perisplenic and perigastric collateral vessels. ADRENALS: Adrenals are normal. URINARY: Bilateral simple cysts measuring up to 1.8 cm in the upper pole of the right kidney are noted. Otherwise, the kidneys are of normal and symmetric size with normal nephrogram. There is no evidence of focal renal lesions or hydronephrosis. There is no perinephric abnormality. GASTROINTESTINAL: A moderate sized hiatal hernia is noted. The stomach is decompressed. The duodenum appears normal. Small bowel loops demonstrate no signs of ileus or obstruction. Colonic diverticulosis is notable. The appendix is not clearly visualized though there are no secondary signs of appendicitis. The sigmoid colon appears slightly thickened likely due to chronic diverticulosis. An adjacent loculated fluid collection likely reflects peritoneal carcinomatosis though clinical correlation is advised as a possibility of complicated diverticulosis is impossible to exclude though no air is seen within this collection. PELVIS: Peritoneal thickening in the deep pelvis is consistent with peritoneal carcinomatosis with large volume of ascites tracking into the pelvis. The uterus is not well visualized. No definite adnexal mass is seen. The urinary bladder is only partially distended appearing normal. There is no pelvic sidewall or inguinal adenopathy. LYMPH NODES: There is an abnormal lymph node at the porta hepatis best seen on series 2, image 30 measuring 14 mm in short axis. Omental nodularity and peritoneal nodularity is consistent with peritoneal carcinomatosis. No retroperitoneal or pelvic sidewall adenopathy. No inguinal adenopathy. No peripancreatic adenopathy. VASCULAR: There is no abdominal aortic aneurysm. Mild atherosclerotic disease is noted. Chronic splenic vein thrombosis likely due to malignant encasement by pancreatic tail lesion. No additional evidence for vascular encasement. BONES: Multilevel degenerative changes without evidence of worrisome osseous lesions or acute fracture. The patient is status post right total hip arthroplasty. SOFT TISSUES: The abdominal and pelvic wall is within normal limits. IMPRESSION: 1. Peritoneal carcinomatosis with moderate to large volume ascites, multiple liver lesions concerning for metastatic disease, and a concerning lesion within the pancreatic tail, suspicious for a primary pancreatic malignancy. 2. Extensive colonic diverticulosis. Given loculated fluid adjacent to the sigmoid colon, impossible to exclude complicated diverticulitis. In the absence of recent focal pain in the left lower quadrant findings are more likely indicative of peritoneal carcinomatosis. Please correlate clinically peer 3. Bilateral pleural effusions, left greater than right..

Elevated tumor markers.// biopsy of met cancer (unknown primary) COMPARISON: Multiple prior examinations, most recent from ___ OPERATORS: Dr. ___, radiology trainee and Dr. ___ radiologist. Dr. ___ supervised the trainee during the key components of the procedure and reviewed and agrees with the trainee's findings. FINDINGS: Limited preprocedure grayscale and Doppler ultrasound imaging of the liver was performed. The lesion for biopsy was identified in segment VI. A suitable approach for targeted liver biopsy was determined. Limited grayscale ultrasound imaging of the abdomen demonstrated a small amount of ascites. TECHNIQUE: The risks, benefits, and alternatives of the procedure were explained to the patient. After a detailed discussion, informed written consent was obtained. A pre-procedure timeout using three patient identifiers was performed per ___ protocol. Under ultrasound guidance, an entrance site was selected for both the paracentesis as well as the targeted biopsy and the skin was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. 1% lidocaine was instilled for local anesthesia. A 5 ___ catheter was advanced into the largest fluid pocket in the right lower quadrant and 1.5 L of serosanguinous fluid were removed. During the drainage of this 1.5 L, under real-time ultrasound guidance, two, 18-gauge core biopsy samples were obtained. The skin was then cleaned and a dry sterile dressing was applied. There were no immediate complications. SEDATION: Moderate sedation was provided by administering 50 mcg fentanyl throughout the total intra-service time of 22 minutes during which patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored by an independent trained radiology nurse. IMPRESSION: 1. Uncomplicated 18-gauge targeted liver biopsy x 2, with specimen sent to pathology. 2. Technically successful ultrasound-guided therapeutic paracentesis.

EXAMINATION: MR ___ WAND W/O CONTRAST ___ MR ___ SPINE INDICATION: ___ year old woman with ___ years of idiopathic paraplegia and diminished sensation in legs // Please eval for acute or chronic spinal cord changes TECHNIQUE: Sagittal imaging was performed with T2, T1, and STIR technique. Axial T2 imaging was performed. After the uneventful administration of 12 mL of Gadavist contrast agent, additional axial and sagittal T1 images were obtained. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: Cervical spine: Numbering of the cervical spine is provided on series 8, image 7. Alignment of the cervical spine is normal. There is no evidence of infection. Vertebral body heights are preserved. Vertebral body and intervertebral disc signal intensity appear normal. There is a 4.3 x 1.1 cm (CC x AP) extradural mass within the dorsal spinal canal extending from C7 through T3 (series 18, image 9) that partially encases the cervical cord (27:9) and causes severe cord compression at this level. There is homogeneous enhancement, but notably, enhances less compared to the surrounding meninges (18:7). Increased STIR signal within the cord at these levels suggests cord edema/contusion (Series 11, Image 8). The mass extends into, and obliterates the left neural foramen at C7-T1 and T1-T2. Additional degenerative changes are as follows: At C2-C3, there is no spinal canal or neural foraminal narrowing. At C3-C4, there is a right paracentral protrusion (9:12) that indents the thecal sac, without spinal canal or neuroforaminal narrowing. C4-C5, there is a disc bulge that results in mild spinal canal narrowing. No neural foraminal narrowing at this level. At C5-C6, and C6-C7, there is disc bulging that indents the ventral thecal sac, without significant spinal canal or neural foraminal narrowing. At C7-T1, there is cord compression resulting in cord edema/contusion from the mass described above. Thoracic spine: Numbering of the thoracic spine is provided on series 11, image 9. Alignment of the thoracic spine is normal. There is no evidence of infection. Vertebral body heights are preserved. Vertebral body and intervertebral disc signal intensity appear normal. As noted in the cervical spine section above, there is severe compression with edema/contusion in the lower thoracic spine extending through the superior aspect of T3 as a result of the dorsal extradural mass. Vertebral body and intervertebral disc signal intensity appear normal. Between T3-T12, there is no spinal canal or neuroforaminal narrowing. Lumbar spine: Numbering of the lumbar spine is provided on series 12, image 11. Alignment of the lumbar spine is normal. There is no evidence of infection or neoplasm. Vertebral body heights are preserved, and marrow signal intensity appears normal. There is disc desiccation at L5-S1. Remaining intervertebral discs demonstrate normal signal. At T12-L1 and L1-L2, there is no spinal canal or neuroforaminal narrowing. At L2-L3, there is mild ligamentum flavum hypertrophy without significant spinal canal or neuroforaminal narrowing. At L3-L4 and L4-L5, there is disc bulging and facet joint arthropathy, without significant spinal canal or neural foraminal narrowing. At L5-S1, there is disc bulging with a superimposed central protrusion that indents the thecal sac without significant spinal canal narrowing. Bilateral neuroforaminal narrowing is mild at this level. IMPRESSION: 1. 4.3 x 1.1cm homogeneously enhancing extradural spinal canal mass extending from C7-T3, causing severe cord compression and cord edema/contusion at these levels. There is also extension into and obliteration of the left C7-T1 and T1-T2 neural foramens. Its appearance, including partial encasement of the cord, heavily favors lymphoma or leukemia. Meningioma is also on the differential, although somewhat atypical in this case given less avid enhancement compared to the surrounding meninges. Neuroblastoma is unlikely in this age group. 2. Mild degenerative changes in the cervical and lumbar spine, most prominent at L5-S1 where there is disc bulging/superimposed central protrusion without critical spinal canal narrowing at this level. NOTIFICATION: Preliminary findings were telephoned to Dr. ___ by ___ ___ on ___ at 12:59PM, at time of discovery.

INDICATION: Crush injury. TECHNIQUE: Supine AP view of the chest. COMPARISON: None. Patient is currently listed as EU critical. FINDINGS: The left lateral chest is excluded from the field of view. Heart size is normal. Mediastinal and hilar contours are unremarkable. The pulmonary vasculature is normal. Imaged lungs are clear without focal consolidation. No large right pleural effusion or pneumothorax is present. No displaced fractures are evident. Multiple radiopaque densities project over the upper chest, likely external to the patient, but clinical correlation is needed. IMPRESSION: 1. Exclusion of the left lateral chest wall. Otherwise, no acute cardiopulmonary abnormality. 2. Multiple radiopaque densities project over the upper chest, likely external to the patient, but clinical correlation is needed.

INDICATION: ___ male with a question of ET tube and OG tube placement. COMPARISON: No relevant comparisons available. ONE VIEW OF THE CHEST: The lungs are low in volume and show bibasilar lower lobe opacities. The cardiac silhouette is enlarged. There is cardiomegaly, with evidence of CHF. No pleural effusion or pneumothorax is present. An ET tube and NG tube are appropriate in position. IMPRESSION: 1. Cardiomegaly and evidence of CHF. Bibasilar opacities could represent atelectasis, sequelae for aspiration or pneumonia. 2. Appropriate siting of ET and NG tube.

INDICATION: ___ male with new-onset seizures, evaluate for intracranial hemorrhage. COMPARISON: No relevant comparisons available. TECHNIQUE: MDCT images were acquired through the head without contrast. Bone kernel reconstructions and multiplanar reformations were obtained and reviewed. FINDINGS: No acute intracranial hemorrhage, large vascular territory infarct, shift of midline structures or mass effect is present. The ventricles and sulci are normal in size and configuration. The patient is status post a right craniotomy. High-density lining the left frontal gray matter likely represents cortical laminar necrosis. Visible paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells show diffuse polypoidal mucosal thickening in both maxillary sinuses and within the ethmoidal air cells and frontal sinus . A moderate amount of fluid is noted in the sphenoid air cells. IMPRESSION: No acute intracranial process. NOTE ON ATTENDING REVIEW: Hypodense area in the left frontal lobe with surrounding hyperdense rim laterally - ( se 6, im 16)- consider follow up to exclude hemorrhage or space-occupying lesion though these may represent evolving encephalomalacic changes. No priors are available. A small dense focus in the right frontal lobe laterally-? artifact/hemorrhage- attention on followup ( se 6, im 17).

HISTORY: Evaluate ET tube placement. TECHNOLOGIST'S NOTE: "No ET tube in place. Radiograph needed to assess interval change." CHEST, SINGLE AP PORTABLE VIEW. Slightly rotated positioning. Compared with ___ at 5:35 a.m., the cardiomediastinal silhouette is stable. There is more pronounced focal opacity in the right midzone, in the perihilar area. This may reflect the presence of atelectasis, but an early infiltrate is in the differential. There is upper zone redistribution, but I doubt overt CHF. There is minimal atelectasis at the left base peripherally, with increased retrocardiac density, consistent with left lower lobe collapse and/or consolidation. Suspect small amount of fluid at the right costophrenic angle, unchanged. IMPRESSION: 1) More pronounced focal opacity in the right perihilar region -- ? atelectasis or early pneumonic infiltrate. Otherwise, no significant change. 2) As noted, no ET tube is in place.
