COMPARISON: CT abdomen pelvis dated ___ and ___
FINDINGS:
LOWER CHEST: Left basilar atelectasis is slightly improved from prior. No
pleural or pericardial effusion. Diffuse coronary artery and aortic valvular
calcifications are re-demonstrated.
ABDOMEN:
HEPATOBILIARY: There has been interval removal of the previously seen
right-sided PTBD. A metallic CBD stent remains in place. Over the interval,
the patient has developed mild or slightly increased right-sided intrahepatic
biliary ductal dilatation. Left-sided pneumobilia is again seen. A 2.1 x 1 cm
hypodense collection within segment 6 appears slightly decreased in size as
compared to ___, when it measured 2.8 x 0.8 cm. The gallbladder is
markedly distended, similar in appearance to prior, and contains multiple
layering gallstones. There is a small amount of pericholecystic fluid, which
appears new. There is trace perihepatic fluid.
PANCREAS: Known infiltrative pancreatic head mass abutting the portal vein,
SMV, and infiltrating the gastroduodenal artery is better assessed on a
multiphasic CT dated ___. As before, the remainder of the
pancreas appears atrophic, and there is persistent pancreatic ductal
dilatation. The degree of soft tissue stranding surrounding the pancreatic
head mass has increased compared to the prior study. There is a new
approximately 3.3 x 4.1 cm collection containing gas and low-density fluid
anterior to the common hepatic artery, along the lesser sac of the stomach
(02:27, 601:23). This likely represents a contained perforation/abscess from
the stomach/duodenum, in the region of the pancreatic mass invasion of the
proximal duodenum.
SPLEEN: The spleen shows normal size and attenuation throughout, without
evidence of focal lesions.
ADRENALS: The right and left adrenal glands are normal in size and shape.
URINARY: The kidneys are of normal and symmetric size with normal nephrogram.

disease is noted.
BONES: There is no evidence of worrisome osseous lesions or acute fracture.
Degenerative changes are seen in the lower lumbar spine with mild grade 1 L1
on L2 retrolisthesis and L4 on L5 anterolisthesis.
SOFT TISSUES: Several adjacent rounded areas of hyperattenuation and soft
tissue density within the left rectus abdominus muscles appear to have
increased in size slightly as compared to the prior study, measuring
approximately 3.9 x 1.8 cm in conglomeration, previously 3.6 x 1.5 cm (601:13,
602:48).
IMPRESSION:
1. Interval development of an approximately 3.3 x 4.1 cm air and fluid
collection anterior to the common hepatic artery within the lesser sac of the
stomach, which likely represents a contained perforation/abscess originating
from the stomach/duodenum, where the pancreatic mass is invading.
2. Chronically obstructed and distended gallbladder containing multiple small
gallstones and sludge. New pericholecystic fluid is nonspecific and may be
reactive to the adjacent inflammatory process.
3. Interval removal of right-sided PTBD, with mild right intrahepatic biliary
ductal dilatation. Trace perihepatic fluid.
4. Interval increase in size of nonspecific hyperattenuating and soft tissue
density rounded areas in the left rectus abdominus muscle possibly hematomas.
metastatic implants would be unusual in this location, but cannot be
completely excluded and attention to this region on follow-up imaging is
recommended.
5. Small amount of pelvic free fluid.

compatible with global age-related volume loss. Basal cisterns are preserved.
There is no shift of normally midline structures. Gray-white matter
differentiation is preserved. No osseous abnormality is identified. There is
mild mucosal thickening with aerosolized secretions in the right maxillary
sinus with scattered opacification of the ethmoid air cells. The mastoid air
cells and middle ear cavities are clear. The globes and orbits are
unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. No acute intracranial process. If clinical concern for stroke or
intracranial mass is high, MRI is more sensitive.
2. Aerosolized secretions in the right maxillary sinus.

INDICATION: History: ___ with abd pain, hemoperitoneum // eval for splenic
artery pseudoaneurysm vs aneurysm
TECHNIQUE: Abdomen and pelvis CTA: Non-contrast, arterial, portal venous, and
delayed phase images were acquired through the abdomen and pelvis.
IV Contrast: 150mL of Omnipaque
Oral contrast was not administered.
MIP reconstructions were performed on independent workstation and reviewed on
PACS.
DOSE: DLP: 3136 mGy-cm (abdomen and pelvis).
COMPARISON: Reference CT abdomen and pelvis ___.
FINDINGS:
LOWER CHEST: Bibasilar dependent atelectasis is noted in the lung bases. There
is no pleural or pericardial effusion.
ABDOMEN:
HEPATOBILIARY: The liver demonstrates homogenous attenuation throughout. There
is no evidence of focal lesions. There is no evidence of intrahepatic or
extrahepatic biliary dilatation. The gallbladder is within normal limits,
without stones or gallbladder wall thickening. Portal venous system is
patent.

signs of acute appendicitis. There is no evidence of mesenteric
lymphadenopathy.
There is small volume perihepatic hemoperitoneum (4:215), that has not
significantly changed compared to the outside CT performed on ___.
Hemorrhagic fluid is is also present within the left upper quadrant about the
spleen, which is continuous with a more localized but ill-defined collection
along the greater curvature of the stomach that measures approximately 4.4 x
3.8 cm; this closely abuts the wall of the stomach with no intervening fat
plane, and an underlying lesion cannot be excluded. There is mild surrounding
fat stranding (4b:241). There is a long hyperdense curvilinear structure
within this collection that most likely represents a vessel rather than active
contrast extravasation given background collateralization within the left
upper quadrant. Additionally, the size of this perigastric collection has not
significantly increased. A small amount of hemorrhagic fluid continues to
track inferiorly along the left abdomen. The volume of hemorrhagic fluid
within the pelvis is little changed or minimally increased.
VESSELS: Abdominal aorta is normal in caliber. Celiac axis, common hepatic
artery and its branches are patent. Left gastric artery is patent. Status
post splenic artery embolization, with collateralization towards the splenic
hilum. Superior mesenteric artery and bilateral single renal arteries are
patent. Inferior mesenteric artery is patent. Bilateral iliac branches are
unremarkable in appearance. No evidence of aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm.
RETROPERITONEUM: There is no evidence of retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy.
PELVIS: Urinary bladder is largely collapsed around a Foley catheter. There
is no evidence of pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. There is no free fluid
in the pelvis.
REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS: Uterus is unremarkable. No adnexal masses are
identified.
BONES: There is no evidence of worrisome osseous lesions or acute fracture.
SOFT TISSUES: The abdominal and pelvic wall is within normal limits.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm or active extravasation.
2. Small volume hemoperitoneum in the upper abdomen and pelvis, little changed
from the outside hospital CT performed several hours earlier.
3. More localized fluid with surrounding stranding along the greater curvature
of the stomach, raising the possibility that the source of bleeding is from
the gastroepiploic territory. However, an underlying lesion cannot be
excluded, and an MRI is recommended for further evaluation when clinically
appropriate.
RECOMMENDATION(S): MRI Abdomen to exclude underlying lesion along the greater
curvature of the stomach.
NOTIFICATION: Recommendation for MRI was communicated by Dr. ___ with
Dr. ___ on the telephoneon ___ at 9:58 AM, 30 minutes after

3. Gastroduodenal artery arteriogram.
4. Gastroepiploic artery arteriogram.
5. Left gastric artery arteriogram.
6. Gel-Foam embolization of the left gastric artery.
7. Superior mesenteric artery arteriogram.
PROCEDURE DETAILS:
Following the discussion of the risks, benefits and alternatives to the
procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the patient. The patient
was then brought to the angiography suite and placed supine on the exam table.
A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___ protocol. Both groins were
sterilely prepped and draped in the typical sterile fashion.
Using palpatory and fluoroscopic guidance, the right common femoral artery was
punctured using a micropuncture set at the level of the mid-femoral head. An
0.018 wire was passed easily into the vessel lumen. A small skin incision was
made over the needle. Then the inner dilator and wire were removed and a
___ wire was advanced under fluoroscopy into the aorta. The micropuncture
sheath was exchanged for a 5 ___ sheath which was attached to a continuous
heparinized saline side arm flush.
A C2 Cobra catheter was advanced over ___ wire into the aorta. The wire
was removed and the celiac artery was injected with contrast to confirm
position. A celiac arteriogram was performed.
The C2 Cobra catheter was advanced over a Glidewire into the gastroduodenal
artery. The wire was removed, and the gastroduodenal artery was injected with
contrast to confirm position. A gastroduodenal artery arteriogram was
performed.
A Transcend wire and STC micro catheter were then advanced into the
gastroepiploic artery. The wire was removed, and the gastroepiploic artery
was injected with contrast to confirm positioning. A gastroepiploic artery
arteriogram was performed.
The micro catheter and micro wire were then removed. The C2 Cobra catheter
was exchanged for a SOS catheter over ___ wire. The SOS catheter was
used to select the celiac artery. The Transcend wire and STC micro catheter
were then carefully advanced into the left gastric artery. The wire was
removed, and the left gastric artery was injected with contrast to confirm
positioning. A left gastric artery arteriogram was performed.
Gel-Foam embolization of the left gastric artery was then performed.
The micro catheter was removed. The SOS catheter was used to select the
superior mesenteric artery. The superior mesenteric artery was injected with
contrast to confirm position. A superior mesenteric artery arteriogram was
performed.
The catheter was removed over a wire. The sheath was then removed.
Hemostasis was achieved with manual pressure. A sterile dressing was applied.
The patient tolerated the procedure and there were no immediate complications.
FINDINGS:
1. Celiac artery arteriogram demonstrates no active extravasation.
2. Gastroduodenal artery arteriogram demonstrates no active extravasation.
3. Gastroepiploic artery arteriogram demonstrates no active extravasation.
4. Left gastric artery arteriogram demonstrates no active extravasation. The
left gastric artery is abnormal in appearance, with hyperemia.
5. Gel-Foam embolization of the left gastric artery.
6. Superior mesenteric artery arteriogram demonstrates no active
extravasation.

INDICATION: ___ year old woman with hemoperitoneum // eval for tumor
(?gastric per radiology due to hemoperitoneum centered around the greater
curvature of stomach)
TECHNIQUE: T1- and T2-weighted multiplanar images of the abdomen were
acquired in a 1.5 T magnet.
Intravenous contrast: 9 mL Gadavist
COMPARISON: CTA abdomen pelvis ___, ___, mesenteric
angiogram ___.
FINDINGS:
Lower Thorax: Bibasilar atelectasis is present, right greater than left, with
small bilateral pleural effusions. The visualized heart and pericardium are
unremarkable.
Liver: There is no significant hepatic steatosis. There are no morphologic
changes concerning for cirrhosis. There are no focal liver lesions.
Biliary: There is no intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation.
The gallbladder is distended, and a 4 mm polyp is noted. There is no
cholelithiasis or sludge. There are no findings concerning for cholecystitis.
Pancreas: The pancreas is not well visualized due to artifact from proximal
splenic embolization coils. The main pancreatic duct is dilated, with the
proximal portion measuring 6 mm (series 7, image 34).
The main pancreatic duct and common bile duct terminate fairly abruptly at the
ampulla. A focal area of T2 hypointense signal at the ampulla may represent
the ampulla itself, but a stone at the ampulla or ampullary stenosis cannot be
excluded.
Spleen: The spleen is normal in size. There is no evidence of focal splenic
lesions.
Adrenal Glands: The right adrenal gland is unremarkable. The left adrenal
gland is difficult to visualize given adjacent artifact.
Kidneys: The kidneys are normal in size without hydronephrosis. Multiple
simple cysts are seen in the kidneys. The largest is in the upper pole of the
right kidney measuring 3.0 cm.
Gastrointestinal Tract: Artifact from proximal splenic artery embolization
coils limits assessment of the stomach. Assessment for a gastric tumor cannot
be performed on diffusion or pre or postcontrast images. However, the
portions of gastric wall better visualized on the out of phase and T2 weighted
images appear unremarkable. There is no abnormal T1 hyperintensity to suggest
ectopic pancreas. Again seen is a hematoma just outside the gastric body,
intimately associated with the gastric wall. This intimate association raises
the consideration of a gastric wall or a gastroepiploic vessel abnormality
resulting in hematoma. There is a small focus of T1 hyperintensity within the
hematoma, suggestive of blood products of a variant age (series 9, image 67).
There is no evidence of active extravasation.
Lymph Nodes: There is no mesenteric or retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy.
Vasculature: The abdominal aorta is normal in caliber. The patient is status
post coil embolization of the proximal splenic artery, with resultant
artifact. The celiac and SMA are not well assessed due to artifact. Portions
of the portal vein are also not well assessed. The hepatic veins and IVC are
patent.
Osseous and Soft Tissue Structures: Bone marrow signal is normal.
IMPRESSION:
1. Limited exam due to the artifact from splenic artery embolization coils.
Diffusion, and pre and post contrast sequences cannot be used to assess for
tumor given this artifact. However, no obvious signal abnormality or other
finding is seen in the gastric wall on other T1 or T2 weighted sequences.
2. Similar appearance of hematoma along the greater curvature of the stomach,
intimately associated with the gastric wall, again raising the possibility of
a gastroepiploic artery or gastric wall vascular abnormality as the etiology
of this finding.
3. Main pancreatic ductal dilation to 6 mm without extrahepatic or
intrahepatic biliary dilation. A stone at the ampulla or ampullary stenosis
is not excluded.
4. Bibasilar atelectasis, right greater than left.
5. 4 mm gallbladder polyp. No specific follow-up is needed for this finding.
RECOMMENDATION(S): ERCP may be considered to further evaluate the pancreatic
duct and ampulla if clinically indicated.
NOTIFICATION: The change from the initial wet read to the final Impression
was discussed by Dr. ___ with Dr. ___ on the telephone on ___ at
approximately 11:00 AM.

Please assess for interval change . Review of OMR indicates the the
patient has undergone assessment for new onset hemo peritoneum.
COMPARISON: Chest x-ray from ___
FINDINGS:
There are curvilinear areas of parenchymal opacity in the right mid zone and
an additional irregular opacity in the left base posteriorly. These are of
indeterminate acuity. There are opacities that are somewhat similar in
distribution seen on the ___ chest x-ray, but the distribution is
not identical hand both opacities are larger and more pronounced on today's
examination.
There is mild cardiomegaly and mild prominence of the cardiomediastinal
silhouette. Although cardiac silhouette itself is probably not significantly
changed, the mediastinal prominence is new and not clearly fully accounted for
by technique. Within the limits of plain film radiography, no hilar
adenopathy is detected.
No CHF, air bronchograms or effusions are identified. Mild elevation of the
right hemidiaphragm is more pronounced than in ___. Mild left greater right
apical pleural thickening is also more pronounced.
Probable embolization material seen projecting over the upper abdomen distal
left of midline, similar to ___.
IMPRESSION:
Opacities at the right base and posterior left lower lobe are new or
significantly changed compared with ___. These are of indeterminate acuity
and not fully characterized by a chest x-ray. The differential includes
infectious, inflammatory and neoplastic processes. Further assessment with
chest CT is recommended.
Prominence of the mediastinum appears increased compared with ___. Has there
been a change in body habitus to account for this? Attention to this area at
the time of the chest CT is recommended.
Mild cardiomegaly.
Mild left-greater-than-right apical pleural thickening, slightly increased
compared with ___.
Embolization in the upper abdomen, likely in the region of the left gastric
artery. The appearance is grossly unchanged compared with ___.
RECOMMENDATION(S): Chest CT recommended to further assess opacities in the
right middle and left lower lobes, with additional attention to mediastinal
prominence.

L gastric artery gelfoam embolization // r/u PE
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
Compared with ___ at 11:39 a.m. and allowing for technical
differences, no definite change is identified. Again seen is patchy opacity
in the right infrahilar region and at the left base (previous chest x-ray
suggested in the left lower lobe).
Cardiomediastinal silhouette is unchanged. There is upper zone
redistribution, without overt CHF. No new focal opacity is detected. No
pneumothorax is identified. Densities in the upper abdomen likely relate to
prior embolization.
IMPRESSION:
Allowing for technical differences, doubt significant interval change compared
with earlier the same day. Again noted (but better seen on the most recent
prior study), are non-specific patchy opacities in the right middle and left
lower lobes.
Chest CT is recommended for further assessment of these opacities and for
evaluation of the apparent interval increase in the size of the mediastinum
compared with ___.
RECOMMENDATION(S): Chest CT is recommended for further assessment of these
opacities and for evaluation of the apparent interval increase in the size of
the mediastinum compared with ___.

TECHNIQUE: Portable chest x-ray
COMPARISON: Chest x-ray ___
FINDINGS:
There is no consolidation. Minimal atelectasis is seen at the right lung
base. There are no large pleural effusions. There are low lung volumes.
Cardiomediastinal silhouette is similar to previous. The trachea is midline.
IMPRESSION:
Low lung volumes. Minimal atelectasis right base.

INDICATION: ___ male with history of lung cancer and brain metastasis
presenting with new subarachnoid hemorrhage concerning for new metastatic
lesion.
TECHNIQUE: Sagittal and axial T1 weighted imaging were performed. After
administration of 9 mL of Gadavist intravenous contrast, axial imaging was
performed with gradient echo, FLAIR, diffusion, and T1 technique. Sagittal
MPRAGE imaging was performed and re-formatted in axial and coronal
orientations.
COMPARISON: ___ head and neck CTA.
FINDINGS:
There is extensive bilateral background cortical siderosis consistent with
prior subarachnoid hemorrhages. There is sulcal FLAIR hyperintensity within
the right central sulcus, precentral sulcus, and superior frontal sulcus with
corresponding leptomeningeal enhancement. There is a small focus of
leptomeningeal enhancement at the posterior left frontal superior gyrus
(100:94).
There is extensive bilateral confluent periventricular and subcortical white
matter FLAIR hyperintensity consistent with sequela of chronic
microangiopathy. There is no acute infarct follow mass, or mass effect.
There is prominence of the ventricles and cortical sulci consistent with
volume loss. The vasculature is patent.
The orbits, calvarium, and soft tissues are unremarkable. There is mild
mucosal thickening within the frontal and ethmoid sinuses. The mastoid air
cells and middle ears are clear.
IMPRESSION:
1. Sulcal FLAIR hyperintensity and leptomeningeal enhancement involving the
right central, precentral and superior frontal sulci. Additional focus of
leptomeningeal enhancement at the left frontal superior gyrus. Findings may
represent reactive changes secondary to subarachnoid hemorrhage versus
leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, given clinical history of lung cancer.
Consider correlation with CSF cytology and/or follow up imaging to
characterize the evolution of these findings.
2. Extensive bilateral cortical siderosis consistent with prior subarachnoid
hemorrhages.
3. No discrete parenchymal lesion.

INDICATION: ___ year old man with prior SCLC with new SAH // mass? infection
TECHNIQUE: PA and lateral chest radiographs.
COMPARISON: None available
FINDINGS:
The lungs are mildly hyperinflated. The cardiomediastinal contour is within
normal limits. The heart is not enlarged. There is a slightly prominent
epicardial fat pad along the right heart border. No consolidation,
pneumothorax or pleural effusion seen. There are moderately severe multilevel
degenerative changes in the thoracic spine.
IMPRESSION:
No acute cardiopulmonary process seen. The lungs appear mildly hyperinflated.

INDICATION: History: ___ with new SOB eval PNA/CHF// History: ___ with new
SOB eval PNA/CHF
TECHNIQUE: Upright AP view of the chest
COMPARISON: Chest radiograph ___
FINDINGS:
Patient is status post median sternotomy, aortic valve replacement and CABG.
Heart size is moderate to severely enlarged, somewhat accentuated due to lower
lung volumes. The mediastinal and hilar contours are unchanged. Crowding of
bronchovascular structures is present due to low lung volumes with possible
mild pulmonary vascular congestion, but no frank pulmonary edema. Minimal
blunting of the left costophrenic angle suggests a trace pleural effusion.
Retrocardiac atelectasis is noted without focal consolidation. No
pneumothorax is seen. There are no acute osseous abnormalities.
IMPRESSION:
Low lung volumes with mild retrocardiac atelectasis and trace left pleural
effusion. Possible mild pulmonary vascular congestion without frank pulmonary
edema.
