mGy-cm.
Total DLP (Body) = 715 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
NECK, THORACIC INLET, AXILLAE, CHEST WALL: The soft tissues of the neck are
within normal limits. Noncontrast appearance of the thyroid glands is
unremarkable. There is evidence of bilateral gynecomastia.
UPPER ABDOMEN: Partially imaged upper abdomen demonstrates mild mesenteric
stranding and a small gastric diverticulum containing a small amount of
hyperdense ingested material.
MEDIASTINUM & HILA: Multiple prominent sized mediastinal lymph nodes are seen
in the paratracheal pre-vascular, subaortic, subcarinal locations, largest
measuring 1.1 cm in the right paratracheal location (series 2, image 20). Few
prominent right hilar lymph nodes are seen, largest measuring 1.0 cm (series
2, image 36).
HEART and PERICARDIUM: The heart is normal in size. There is no pericardial
effusion. There is evidence of mild calcific atherosclerotic changes
involving the thoracic aorta and triple-vessel coronary calcific
atherosclerosis. This evidence of fat deposition in the interventricular
septum as well as the subendocardial region of the left ventricular apex, this
may be related to chronic infarct.
PLEURA: Free-flowing mild-to-moderate pleural effusion seen on the left side.
The right pleural space demonstrates mild-to-moderate amount of pleural fluid
with thin internal loculations and a moderate amount of air with as well as
some linear mildly hyperdense contents. A chest tube is seen in good position
within the right pleural space.
LUNG:
1. PARENCHYMA: Multiple areas of peripheral ground-glass opacification are
seen scattered throughout both lungs, predominantly involving both upper and
right middle lobe. There is evidence of mild interlobular septal thickening
especially involving the right upper lobe as well as the left lingula. There
is evidence of near complete atelectasis of the right lower lobe as well as
passive subsegmental atelectasis in the left lower lobe.

bodies.
IMPRESSION:
1. Mild to moderate right pleural collection containing loculated fluid and
air with a chest tube in situ. Mild-to-moderate free-flowing left pleural
effusion.
2. Bilateral patchy peripheral ground-glass opacities are concerning for an
atypical infection. Presence of interlobular septal thickening may be
secondary to pulmonary edema. Clinical correlation is recommended.
3. Mild mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy is nonspecific and could be
related to infections.

TECHNIQUE: Multi detector helical scanning of the chest was reconstructed as
5 and 1.25 mm thick axial, 2.5 mm thick coronal and parasagittal, and 8 mm MIP
axial images. Contrast agent was not administered. All images were reviewed.
DOSE: Acquisition sequence:
1) Spiral Acquisition 2.5 s, 39.7 cm; CTDIvol = 13.8 mGy (Body) DLP = 548.5
mGy-cm.
Total DLP (Body) = 548 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: Compared to chest CT one ___.
FINDINGS:
CHEST PERIMETER:
No thyroid findings warranting further imaging evaluation. Supraclavicular
and axillary lymph nodes are not enlarged and there are no soft tissue
abnormalities in the imaged chest wall concerning for malignancy. This study
is not appropriate for subdiaphragmatic diagnosis but shows no adrenal
abnormality.
CARDIO-MEDIASTINUM:Midportion of the esophagus is mildly patulous.
Atherosclerotic calcification is moderate to heavy in head and neck vessels
and severe in major coronary arteries. Aorta and pulmonary arteries are
normal size. Assessment of cardiomegaly would require echocardiography.
Pericardium is physiologic.
THORACIC LYMPH NODES:
Numerous subcentimeter mediastinal lymph nodes in upper and lower paratracheal
and prevascular stations are stable thoracic lymph nodes are pathologically
enlarged by size criteria.
LUNGS, AIRWAYS, PLEURAE:
Large posteriorly loculated right hydropneumothorax contains more fluid and
very little air, following removal of the right pleural drainage catheter, but
the overall size is unchanged. The extent of thickening of the parietal pleura
and where it is separable from atelectasis, the visceral pleura along the
entire posterior surface of the right lung has not changed appreciably. Most
of the volume loss in the right lung is in the lower lobe which is still
largely atelectatic.
Small moderate, nonhemorrhagic, posteriorly collected left pleural effusion is
substantially smaller today.
The mild edema persists in the right upper lobe, probably a function of
engorged lymphatics. Previous multifocal peribronchovascular ground glass
opacification in the left lung has improved but not resolved. I doubt that
this is edema, given its non gravitational distribution in the absence of
septal thickening. This could be residual infection or hemorrhage, but I am
uncertain of the diagnosis.
Central bronchial tree is patent.
CHEST CAGE: No evidence of infection or malignancy in the chest cage.
IMPRESSION:
Persistent large and probably loculated right hydropneumothorax, probably
reflecting chronic restrictive right pleural thickening, in combination with
severe lower lobe atelectasis. No contributory bronchial obstruction.
Severe coronary atherosclerosis. Mild cardiomegaly.
Substantially improved bilateral airspace pulmonary abnormality, nature
indeterminate, could be post infectious or slow to resolve hemorrhage.

TECHNIQUE: Supine and upright abdominal radiograph was obtained.
COMPARISON: Radiographs dating back to ___ and CT ___.
FINDINGS:
There is distention of the colon, worse than on prior examination, with an
abrupt cutoff in the proximal descending colon, which was seen on prior CT.
Although the supine appearance resembles a sigmoid volvulus, in view of the
prior CT findings, this is most likely a tortuous transverse colon and the
abrupt cutoff in the descending colon corresponds to the point of transition
on prior CT. No free air demonstrated on supine.
Spinal fusion hardware and intervertebral spacers are again noted.
Small right pleural effusion and compressive atelectasis seen.
IMPRESSION:
Colonic obstruction, worse than on prior examination. There is an abrupt
cutoff of the colonic dilatation in the proximal descending colon, as on prior
CT. The possibility of a stricture at this level is suggested. No free air
on supine.

COMPARISON: ___ noncontrast CT
FINDINGS:
In comparison to the prior chest CT of ___, there is interval
development extensive and more confluent peribronchial ground-glass opacities
in the left lung. Previously seen patchy ground-glass opacities in the right
upper and middle lobes are either stable or have slightly improved. A
moderate size right hydropneumothorax with partial collapse of the right lower
lobe appears similar to before. A small left pleural effusion has slightly
increased in size. Heart is mildly enlarged.
Diffuse three-vessel coronary artery calcifications noted. There is no
significant pericardial effusion. There is no axillary, mediastinal, or hilar
lymphadenopathy by CT size criteria although there are multiple small
mediastinal nodes that appear prominent by count, overall unchanged and likely
reactive.
Limited noncontrast view of the upper abdomen is unremarkable. Postsurgical
changes in bilateral shoulders are noted. Anterior bridging osteophytes along
the spine can be seen with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH).

These exams consist of six radiographs of the shoulders, left humerus, left
elbow, and left hand and wrist. Exam is slightly limited, particularly of the
elbow, with bedside technique. No fracture. I cannot assess the presence of
an effusion in the elbow. Incidental degenerative changes in several DIP
joints. There is a partially visualized pacing device overlying the left
upper thorax. Extensive vascular calcifications. Similar radiographs of the
right upper extremity obtained at the same time also showed no fracture and
are reported separately.

___, CT torso, ___.
FRONTAL SUPINE PORTABLE CHEST: Left intracardiac device leads project over
the expected locations of the right atrium and right ventricle. Endotracheal
tube ends 5.7 cm above the carina. Nasoenteric tube courses to the stomach
with the tip out of view. Low lung volumes result in bronchovascular
crowding. Mild pulmonary edema is unchanged from ___. Moderate
cardiomegaly is stable. There is no substantial pleural effusion or
pneumothorax.

and facial fractures.
COMPARISON: None.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT images of the brain were obtained without
administration of IV contrast. Reformatted coronal, sagittal and thin section
bone algorithm reconstructed images were acquired.
DLP: 891.93 mGy-cm.
FINDINGS: Small amount of subarachnoid hemorrhage seen in the right temporal
region, without associated edema or mass effect. No intraparenchymal
hemorrhage. Mild prominence of the ventricles and sulci are related to
age-appropriate cortical volume loss. Faint periventricular, subcortical and
deep white matter hypodensities are likely sequela of chronic small vessel
ischemic disease. Bifrontal and right occipital encephalomalacia is likely
from prior infarcts. The basal cisterns are patent and there is elsewhere
preservation of gray-white matter differentiation. No shift of midline
structures.
Minimally displaced anterior and lateral wall fractures of the right maxillary
sinus with a nondisplaced right orbital floor fracture is seen without
displacement of orbital fat or extraocular muscle entrapment. Hyperdense
material in bilateral sphenoids and layering in the left maxillary sinus is
consistent with hemorrhage. Small amount of layering hyperdense material in
the left maxillary sinus likely represents hemorrhage. The right middle ear
cavity and right mastoid air cells are opacified. The globes are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. Small right temporal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
2. Minimally displaced fracture of the anterior and lateral walls of the
right maxillary sinus with a nondisplaced right orbital floor fracture. No CT
evidence of extraocular muscle entrapment.
3. Hemorrhage in bilateral sphenoids and left maxillary sinus.
3. Opacified right mastoid air cells and right middle ear cavity may be
related to patient's prone positioning/intubation; however, given history of
trauma cannot exclude temporal bone fracture. If possible correlation with
prior exam from presentation would be helpful in determining etiology of
middle ear and mastoid opacification.

FINDINGS: In comparison with study of ___, the tip of the endotracheal tube
is at the lower clavicular level, approximately 5.4 cm above the carina.
Enteric tube has been removed. Enlargement of the cardiac silhouette persists
with the dual-channel pacer leads in place. Evidence of elevated pulmonary
venous pressure is again seen. Increased opacification at the bases could
merely reflect atelectasis, though in the appropriate clinical situation,
supervening pneumonia would have to be considered.

REASON FOR EXAM: CHF.
Comparison is made with prior study ___.
Moderate cardiomegaly is stable. Pacer leads are in standard position.
Bibasilar opacities have increased on the left likely increasing atelectasis,
but superimposed infection cannot be excluded. There is stable moderate
pulmonary edema. There is no pneumothorax. ET tube is in standard position.
NG tube tip is out of view below the diaphragm.

FINDINGS: In comparison with the earlier study of this date, following
bronchoscopy, there is little overall change. Specifically, no evidence of
pneumothorax.

and orbital trauma as well as small right subarachnoid hemorrhage. Now with
mental status change. Evaluate for interval change.
Technique: Contiguous axial MDCT images were obtained through the brain
without the administration of IV contrast. Reformatted coronal and sagittal
and thin section bone algorithm-reconstructed images were acquired.
CTDIvol: 53 mGy
DLP: 1014 mGy-cm
COMPARISON: CT of the head dated ___.
FINDINGS:
Compared to the prior study from ___, there has been interval
resoluation of the right temporal subarachnoid hemorrhage and there is no
evidence of new hemorrhage, mass effect, edema, or infarct. The ventricles
and sulci are prominent but no more so than the prior study. The likely
related to global atrophy. Periventricular white matter hypodensities are
again noted and likely related to chronic small vessel ischemic disease.
Again demonstrated are multiple nondisplaced fractures of the bilateral
maxilla and orbital walls with opacification of the right maxillary sinus,
right ethmoid sinuses, right sphenoid sinus, right mastoid air cells and
middle ear cavity, and partial opacification of the left sphenoid sinus, left
maxillary sinus, and left side of the nasal cavity. Additionally there is
fluid seen within the left mastoid air cells however the middle ear cavity is
clear.
IMPRESSION:
1. Resolution of right temporal subarachnoid hemorrhage and no evidence of new
hemorrhage, edema, mass effect, or infarct.
2. No significant change in the complex bilateral maxillary sinus and orbital
wall fractures. Continued opacification of the right maxillary, sphenoid,
ethmoid sinuses as well as the mastoid air cells.

heart failure.
Portable AP radiograph of the chest was reviewed in comparison to ___.
The NG tube tip passes below the diaphragm terminating in the stomach. The ET
tube tip is approximately 5 cm above the carina. The pacemaker defibrillator
leads are in unchanged position. Cardiomegaly is unchanged. There is
interval mild improvement in still present, at least moderate interstitial
pulmonary edema associated with bilateral pleural effusions. No definitive
evidence of focal consolidation to suggest infectious process seen.

FINDINGS: In comparison with study of ___, the endotracheal tube and
nasogastric tube have been removed. Right IJ catheter tip extends to the mid
portion of the SVC. Pacer device with leads is essentially unchanged.
Again there is enlargement of the cardiac silhouette with moderate pulmonary
edema. Atelectatic changes are seen at the bases with probable bilateral
pleural effusions.

AP chest radiograph compared to ___ radiograph obtained at 05:42
a.m.
Currently, there is new right subclavian line inserted with its tip
terminating at the level of mid to low SVC. Patient continues to be in
pulmonary edema that appears to be progressing. Moderate bilateral pleural
effusions are noted. Rest of the supporting devices are unchanged. No
pneumothorax is seen.

HISTORY: Shortness of breath and history of lung cancer.
COMPARISONS: PET-CT imaging was recently performed on ___. Prior
chest radiograph is available from ___.
TECHNIQUE: Chest, AP upright and lateral.
FINDINGS: There is a large right-sided pleural effusion which is difficult to
directly compare to the prior PET-CT, but probably similar in size. A
suspicious nodule projects over the right upper lobe, measuring 9 mm in
diameter. There is only slight leftward shift of mediastinal structures so
areas of atelectasis in the right lung coinciding with an effusion,
particularly involving the right lower lobe, are suspected. The left lung
remains clear. There is no pneumothorax. The cardiac, mediastinal and hilar
contours appear unchanged. The bones are probably demineralized.
IMPRESSION: Large right-sided pleural effusion. Suspicious nodule projecting
over the right upper lobe.

intracranial hemorrhage.
COMPARISON: CT dated ___ and MR dated ___.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous non-contrast axial images were acquired through the
brain with multiplanar reformations.
FINDINGS: A 1.6 cm hyperdense lesion is again seen in olfactory groove,
compatible with known meningioma, similar in appearance as compared to
___. In remainder of the brain, there is no evidence of
hemorrhage, mass effect, edema, or shift of normally midline structures.
Known metastatic disease is not demonstrated on non-contrast CT imaging. The
gray-white matter differentiation appears preserved. Periventricular white
matter hypoattenuation is compatible with small vessel ischemic disease.
Ventricles and sulci are age appropriate. Suprasellar and basilar cisterns
are patent.
Paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are well aerated with the exception of
trace mucosal thickening in the posterior left maxillary sinus. The mastoids
are under-pneumatized. Vascular calcifications are seen in the cavernous
carotid and vertebral arteries. Globes and soft tissues are unremarkable. A
sclerotic focus in the right parietal bone is again suspicious for blastic
metastatic disease.
IMPRESSION:
1. No acute intracranial process.
2. Stable olfactory groove meningioma.
3. Bone metastasis in the right parietal bone. Parenchymal brain metastases
are not explicitly demonstrated on this study because it is a non-constrast
examination, but there is no evidence for significant edema or mass effect.

since yesterday. Question pulmonary embolism.
COMPARISON: Recent PET-CT from ___ an earlier diagnostic chest CT
is also available from ___.
TECHNIQUE: CTA of the chest was performed prior to and following
administration of intravenous contrast as per CTA protocol with multiplanar
reformations including oblique projections.
CTA CHEST: The aorta is normal in caliber without acute pathology. Moderate
calcified and noncalcified mural plaque extends into the proximal arch
vessels, involves the arch, and extends the entire way of the thoracic aorta.
The heart is normal in size with small amount of pericardial effusion.
Multivessel coronary arterial disease is present.
The pulmonary arterial tree is opacified to the subsegmental level on the
right without filling defects to suggest pulmonary embolism. The right
pulmonary arterial tree is somewhat attenuated by a right hilar mass and
subjacent atelectasis but likely patent at least to the segmental level.
Ill-defined hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes do not appear changed since the
very recent prior PET-CT. A few small lung nodules and a vaguely defined
right perihilar soft tissue appear unchanged and were recently characterized
by PET imaging.
A large right-sided pleural effusion with associated areas of atelectasis
appears not significantly changed. In particular the right middle lobe is
fully collapsed with patchy but widespread with lower lobe atelectasis.
Central airways are again thickened bilaterally with narrowing that is
particularly prominent along the right hilum. Also associated with a large
pleural effusion is moderate leftward shift of mediastinal structures. A
trace effusion is also present on the left.
Secretions are present in the trachea (3, 26), which could be sequestered
secretion vs. disease extension. Trace effusion is present on the left.
Limited views of the upper abdomen are unremarkable.
BONES: Widespead blastic metastatic disease is again noted.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of pulmonary embolism.
2. Large right-sided pleural effusion, but not significantly changed, with
associated atelectasis involving portions of the right lung. Small
pericardial and left-sided pleural effusions are also present.
3. Widespread blastic metastases and suspected malignant involvement of the
mediastinum and right hilum, but assessed very recently with PET-CT imaging
where the degree of disease activity was more optimally characterized.
4. Secretions or debris in the trachea.
5. Vascular calcifications including coronary artery calcifications.
6. Large left-sided thyroid nodule.

FINDINGS: In comparison with the study of ___, there may be some further
increase in the right pleural effusion, though this could reflect differences
in patient position. Mild prominence of central pulmonary vessels on the
right suggests some elevated pulmonary venous pressure. The left lung is
essentially clear.
The questioned nodule projecting over the right upper zone is again seen. It
remains in conjunction with the second rib.

cancer presenting with confusion and weakness. Evaluate for cord compression.
COMPARISON: MRI from ___.
TECHNIQUE: Multiaxial multisequence images of the cervical, thoracic and
lumbar spine were obtained without the administration of contrast.
FINDINGS:
Images are very limited due to patient motion. This study is incomplete.
Only few sequences of the thoracic and lumbar spine were obtained.
The thoracic spine demonstrates normal anatomic alignment. There are
multilevel Schmorl's nodes and degenerative type endplate changes. There are
hypointense lesions at T12 and T6. There is no evidence of fracture. The
spinal cord demonstrates normal signal intensity. No evidence of cord
compression. There is no evidence of significant disc bulge, spinal canal
stenosis and neural foraminal narrowing.
There is a large right pleural effusion and a small left pleural effusion.
LUMBAR SPINE:
Images were evaluated by patient motion. This study is incomplete. There is
normal anatomic alignment. There are multilevel degenerative type endplate
changes. At the level of L5 on S1, there is a hypointense T1 lesion which is
bright and heterogeneous on STIR which is suspicious for metastatic disease
given patient's history of lung cancer. The spinal cord terminates at L1-2
level with normal distribution of the cauda equina nerve roots.
At L4-5 level, there is a disc bulge, bilateral facet arthrosis and ligamentum
flavum thickening causing mild spinal canal stenosis and moderate left and
mild-to-moderate right neural foraminal narrowing.
At L5-S1 level, there is moderate-to-severe narrowing of the right neural
foramen and mild-to-moderate narrowing of the left neural foramen. No
evidence of cord compression.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of cord compression.
2. Limited evaluation of the spine demonstrates new lesions at T6, T12, L4,
L5 and S1 vertebral bodies, highly suspicious for metastatic disease.
3. Multilevel degenerative changes of the lumbar spine as described above,
worse at L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels.
4. Large right pleural effusion and small left pleural effusion.
Findings were communicated to the ordering physician using the radiology
dashboard.

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: CT performed ___.
FINDINGS:
In the left posterior fossa, there is a round 3.2 x 2.9 x 3.0 cm dural-based
mass inseparable from the left tentorium, abutting the superolateral aspect of
the left cerebellar hemisphere, presumably meningioma. It is isointense to
gray matter on T1 and T2 weighted imaging with homogeneous avid enhancement.
There is regional T2 prolongation within the left cerebellar hemisphere
consistent with vasogenic edema with and mild effacement of the fourth
ventricle. No hydrocephalus. No evidence of hemorrhage or infarction.
The left transverse sinus is hypoplastic. The left distal transverse sinus
and sigmoid sinus do not enhance and may be compressed or occluded by the
presumed meningioma. The left internal jugular vein traits postcontrast
enhancement. The remainder of the dural venous sinuses are patent.
IMPRESSION:
Dural-based mass in the left posterior fossa, consistent with a meningioma.
There is regional vasogenic edema with mild effacement of the fourth ventricle
but no obstructing hydrocephalus. No definite enhancement of the distal left
transverse sinus and sigmoid sinus which may be severely compressed with
occlusion a possibility. There is reconstitution of contrast enhancement of
the left internal jugular vein.

HISTORY: Right-sided chest pain.
COMPARISONS: Chest radiographs from ___ and ___.
TECHNIQUE: Chest, PA and lateral.
FINDINGS:
The cardiac, mediastinal, and hilar contours appear unchanged. There are
patchy new opacities in the left mid-to-lower lung, predominantly in the
lingula, but streaky in morphology. Otherwise, the lungs appear clear. There
are no pleural effusions or pneumothorax. Moderate anterior osteophytes are
present along the mid-to-lower thoracic spine.
IMPRESSION:
Patchy new left mid and lower lung opacities, typical in morphology for
atelectasis, although an infectious etiology is difficult to completely
exclude based on the imaging.

evaluate for cholecystitis.
COMPARISON: CT from ___.
FINDINGS: The liver is echogenic, consistent with fatty infiltration. There
is no intra- or extra-hepatic ductal dilatation. The liver is of normal
echogenicity in the right lobe. In the left lobe, there is an ill-defined
area of hyperechogenicity of the liver parenchyma. On the CT from the same
day, an area in the left lobe of the liver can be seen with different
enhancement. Main portal vein is patent with appropriate hepatopetal flow.
Gallbladder shows significant sludge; however, no evidence of cholecystitis
with no gallbladder wall edema or pericholecystic fluid. Common bile duct is
not dilated measuring 3 mm. Limited views of the left and right kidney are
unremarkable. The spleen is enlarged measuring 18.3 cm without any focal
lesions.
IMPRESSION:
1. Gallbladder sludge without evidence of cholecystitis.
2. Splenomegaly.
3. Hyperechoic area in the left lobe of the liver is also seen on the CT from
the same day. Differential includes old lymphomatous infiltration, area of
greater fatty infiltration, or possibly an unusual appearance of a benign
lesion such as an atypical hemangioma could be considered. There has been no
definite recent change although the lesion is easier to visualize on this
study. If further characterization is desired, then MR imaging may be useful.

FINDINGS:
CT OF THE CHEST:
Numerous mediastinal lymph nodes are stable to slight smaller in size since
the prior PET-CT. For example, a prevascular conglomerate measures 1.4 x 2.0
cm (2:16), whereas previously it measured 1.4 x 2.5 cm. A right lower
paratracheal node measures 1.3 cm (2:10), whereas previously it measured 1.8
cm and a prevascular node today measures 7.2 mm whereas previously it measured
8.0 mm (2:20). Coronary calcifications are present.
Tracheobronchial tree is patent to the subsegmental level. There is bilateral
dependent atelectasis as well as slight scarring and pleural thickening in the
right upper lobe (2:23).
Again seen are filling defects within the pulmonary arteries: Left thrombus
extending from the distal portions of the left main pulmonary artery extending
into the lobar arteries. Evaluation of the segmental and subsegmental
arteries is limited due to suboptimal contrast bolus timing. Overall, the
total thrombus burden appears somewhat reduced since ___ and ___ and remaining clot appears chronic.
CT OF THE ABDOMEN: Region of low attenuation in the left lobe of the liver
corresponds to the hyperechoic area seen on the ultrasound from the same day.
The region is similiar to extent as on prior scans, specifically the ___ CT
and was not avid on PET, and indeed less avid than background liver, although
more conspicuous on today's scan perhaps because of differences in technique.
The area does not appear more extensive, however, and corresponds to marked
volume loss in the left lateral segments and also segment IV to some extent.
Caudate hypertrophy may be compensatory.
The spleen is enlarged up to 17.2 cm in length. Portal vein is patent.
Gallbladder has hyperdense contents consistent with sludge seen on ultrasound
from the same day. Pancreas is unremarkable. Multiple celiac and
retroperitoneal lymph nodes are stable since the PET-CT and from ___.
As an example, a large retrocaval node (3b:118) today measures 12.1 mm and
previously 12.6 mm. Bilateral adrenals are unremarkable. Bilateral kidneys
enhance and excrete contrast symmetrically with no evidence of hydronephrosis.
Small and large bowel loops are unremarkable.
CT PELVIS: Rectosigmoid colon, bladder, and prostate are all unremarkable in
this patient. Pelvic lymphadenopathy seems to have decreased as evidenced by
a right-sided pelvic node (3b:152), today measuring 10 mm and prior 13 mm. No
new lymphadenopathy is noted. Bilateral fat-containing inguinal hernias are
stable.
BONES: No suspicious lytic or sclerotic lesions.
IMPRESSION:
1. Chronic pulmonary embolism with no evidence of new acute pulmonary
embolism.
2. Geographical distribution of a hypodense area in the left lobe of the
kidney, also seen on the ultrasound of the same day. While the relative
degree of ___ is more striking on today's exam, the etiology is
uncertain. This was not avid on recent PET scan. Differential includes old
lymphomatous infiltration with marked atrophy involving the left lobe or
atrophy of other etiology; there may be relative fatty infiltration at the
site and an unusual benign lesion such as a hemangioma could also be involved.
3. Overall, extensive mediastinal, retroperitoneal, celiac and pelvic
lymphadenopathy appears to be stable to slightly decreased in size since the
PET-CT from ___.
4. Splenomegaly.
5. No acute intra-abdominal or intrathoracic process to explain the patient's
pain.

multiple resections and chemoradiation. Last surgery was on ___.
Presenting with sudden onset of severe headache and vomiting.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images were obtained through the brain without IV
contrast. Coronal, sagittal, and thin section bone reconstruction algorithm
images were prepared.
COMPARISON: NECT of the head, ___ and ___.
FINDINGS: Large region of encephalomalacia is seen involving most of the
right frontal lobe and extends to the right lateral ventricle with ex vacuo
dilatation. There is no hemorrhage, edema, shift of midline structures, or
evidence of acute infarction. The basal cisterns are patent and gray-white
matter differentiation is preserved. Post-surgical changes from prior right
frontoparietal craniotomy are noted. The visualized paranasal sinuses,
mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are clear.
IMPRESSION:
1. No acute hemorrhage or mass effect.
2. Large area of encephalomalacia in the right frontal lobe at the site of
multiple prior resections.

HISTORY: GBM status post resection with headache, nausea, vomiting, and neck
stiffness, concern for infection.
COMPARISON: ___.
FINDINGS: There is a large resection cavity in the right frontal lobe without
any nodular enhancement. The postoperative cavity appears to have minimally
increased in size. There is a right frontal cranioplasty. No fluid
collection is noted superficial or deep to the cranioplasty. There are no
foci of restricted diffusion. There is a stable infiltrative signal
abnormality along the margin of the operative cavity and extending into the
corpus callosum on the left frontal lobe which could represent combination of
post-treatment changes and infiltrative neoplasm. No evidence for acute
ischemia or hydrocephalus is seen.There is mild meningeal enhancement, which
could be postoperative in nature, but this should be correlated with CSF
studies. Ventricles are unchanged in size and configuration.
IMPRESSION: Postoperative changes in the right frontal lobe, but no definite
evidence for infection noted. There is mild meningeal enhancement, which
could be postoperative in nature, but this should be correlated with CSF
studies.

FINDINGS: In comparison with study of ___, there are substantially lower
lung volumes, which may account for much of the apparent increase in
transverse diameter of the heart. No evidence of vascular congestion. There
is some retrocardiac opacification medially. It is unclear how much of this
could represent some volume loss or even consolidation in the lower lobe and
how much could merely be a manifestation of low lung volumes and the supine
portable technique. If clinically possible, lateral view would be extremely
helpful.
The right IJ catheter extends to about the level of the cavoatrial junction or
possibly in the upper portion of the right atrium itself.

FINDINGS: In comparison with study of ___, the patient has taken a much
better inspiration. Again there is an area of increased opacification in the
retrocardiac region with poor definition of the descending aorta. Although
this could merely reflect atelectasis, the possibility of supervening
pneumonia would have to be considered in the appropriate clinical setting.

TECHNIQUE: Sagittal imaging was performed with T2, and T2 weighted IDEAL, and
T1 technique. Several axial T2 weighted sequences were attempted. The
patient was confused and unable to cooperate. After multiple attempts to
obtain satisfactory precontrast images, the study was abandoned. For this
reason, and no contrast agent was administered.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
The study is severely limited by motion artifact and the incomplete nature of
the examination. Within these serious limitations, there are no findings to
suggest epidural abscess. Although there are changes of degenerative disc
disease, there are no findings to suggest diskitis or osteomyelitis. No
abnormal fluid collections are detected.
Incidentally noted are right-sided nerve root sheath cysts just distal to the
neural foramina at C4-5 and C6-7.
IMPRESSION:
Severely limited study due to motion artifact. Although there are no findings
to suggest epidural abscess, the study must be considered nondiagnostic.

administration of 7 cc of intravenous Gadavist. The following sequences are
utilized: Sagittal T1, sagittal T2, axial T2, sagittal IDEAL, sagittal T1
post, and axial T1 post.
Compared to an MRI from ___.
FINDINGS:
CERVICAL SPINE:
There is multilevel degenerative disc disease, most notably at the C4-C5,
C5-C6 and C3-C4 levels. Evaluation of the neural foramina and spinal canal is
limited due to the motion artifact on the axial images.
The vertebral bodies and disc spaces are maintained throughout the thoracic
and lumbar spine.
The bone marrow and spinal cord signal is unremarkable.
There is no abnormal enhancement. There are no rim-enhancing collections.
IMPRESSION: Study limited by motion artifact, but no definite evidence of
abscess.
Multilevel degenerative disc disease in the cervical spine, most prominently
from the C4 through C7. Evaluation of canal and foraminal stenosis limited by
motion artifact.

Evaluate for post-op changes.
COMPARISON: Non-contrast head CT ___, MR ___ ___.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT images were obtained of the head without
contrast. Coronal, sagittal and thin section bone algorithm reformats were
generated.
DLP: 936.52 mGy-cm.
CTDIvol: 55.97 mGy.
FINDINGS: Again identified is a large right frontal cystic collection from a
prior resection cavity. There has been interval right frontal craniectomy and
placement of a drainage catheter which terminates anteriorly at the level of
the gyrus rectus. The fluid collection is smaller compared to prior
examination and measures approximately 6.0 x 5.0 cm in greatest axial
dimension. This cystic focus contains an air-fluid level with pneumocephalus
likely from surgery and instrumentation. There has been reduction of
localized mass effect with mild decrease in effacement of local sulci and the
frontal horn of the right lateral ventricle. Otherwise, there is no
hemorrhage, edema or infarct. Ventricles and sulci are unchanged in size and
configuration compared to prior examination. The basal cisterns remain patent
and there is preservation of gray-white matter differentiation. The
visualized paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells and middle ear cavities are
well aerated. The globes are unremarkable.

intravenous contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformatted images as well as thin
section images in a bone window algorithm were generated and reviewed. CTDIvol
64, DLP 1026
FINDINGS:
The patient is status post right frontal craniectomy and placement of a right
frontal drainage catheter, which is unchanged in position terminating
anteriorly in the midline at the level of the falx. Again seen is a large
right frontal cystic fluid collection with CSF density corresponding to the
prior surgical resection cavity. The fluid collection is increased in size
from the most recent prior CT, measuring 6.8 x 4.8 cm on axial imaging
(previously 5.7 x 4.6 cm on a similar axial slice). There is a decreased
air-fluid level from the prior CT compatible with decreased postoperative
pneumocephalus. There is similar or slightly increased associated mass effect
with effacement of the adjacent sulci and frontal horn of the right lateral
ventricle. There is leftward bulging of the septum pellucidum and anterior
falx without shift of normally midline structures. There is no acute
intracranial hemorrhage or edema. The gray-white matter interface is
preserved without evidence of acute major vascular territorial infarct. The
ventricles and sulci are overall unchanged in size and configuration compared
to the prior CT. The basal cisterns remain patent. The visualized paranasal
sinuses, middle ear cavities and mastoid air cells are clear bilaterally.
IMPRESSION:
1. Increased size of right frontal postoperative cystic fluid collection from
the most recent prior head CT of ___ without significantly increased
mass effect.

Postoperative changes from right frontal mass resection are again seen. The
large right frontal fluid collection persists measuring 6.3 x 4.6 cm, which is
similar compared to prior. There is adjacent white matter hypodensity which
appears unchanged. The air-fluid level has resolved. Pneumocephalus has
resolved. Associated mass effect on the anterior falx appears unchanged.
There is no CT evidence for acute intracranial hemorrhage, new edema, or
hydrocephalus. There is preservation of gray-white matter differentiation.
The basal cisterns appear patent. The visualized portions of the paranasal
sinuses and mastoid air cells appear well aerated. Right frontal craniectomy
changes are seen. No acute bony abnormality is detected. No acute
extracranial soft tissue abnormality is detected.

mental status and fever, rule out intrathoracic process.
COMPARISON: ___.
FINDINGS: Frontal and lateral chest x-rays were obtained.
A Port-A-Cath terminates in the lower SVC. The lungs are fully extended and
clear. The cardiomediastinal silhouette, hilar contours, and pleural surfaces
are normal. There is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax.

meningitis.
TECHNIQUE: Sagittal T1 weighted imaging was performed. Axial gradient echo,
T1 FLAIR, FLAIR, T2, and diffusion imaging were performed. After
administration of 5 cc of Gadavist intravenous contrast, axial T1 and T1 FLAIR
imaging were performed along with sagittal MP rage. The MP rage images were
re-formatted into axial and coronal orientations.
COMPARISON: Brain MR ___.
FINDINGS:
Again seen is a right frontal surgical site with postoperative changes in the
adjacent brain. There is minimal enhancement surrounding the surgical site,
somewhat decreased since ___.
There is mild increased signal on adjacent to the surgical site on FLAIR
imaging. This has not increased since the most recent study and is less
prominent than on prior MR examinations. The ependymal enhancement in the
occipital horns of the lateral ventricles is barely detectable on the current
examination. Although these studies are somewhat limited by motion artifact,
this appears to be improvement since the prior examination. Small amounts of
slow diffusion material in the lateral ventricles bilaterally appear
unchanged. This likely represents intraventricular pus.
IMPRESSION:
Study somewhat limited by motion artifact, but there appears to be a mild
decrease in the intensity of enhancement around the surgical site and within
the occipital horns of the lateral ventricles. Slow diffusion material in the
occipital horns appears unchanged. These findings are consistent with
intraventricular infection. No new abnormalities are detected.

FINDINGS: Since prior exam, the patient has had a revision of the right
frontal craniectomy wound. There is new pneumocephalus layering along the
anterior right frontal convexity with the right frontal fluid collection.
This large right frontal cyst is not significantly changed in size, measuring
6.1 x 4.6 cm in transverse dimension (2, 14). Mild associated mass effect on
the anterior falx is unchanged. The minimal surrounding hypodensity,
particularly superiorly, is unchanged. There is no evidence of postoperative
hemorrhage. Within the subcutaneous tissues overlying the craniectomy site,
there is a thin collection of fluid measuring 5 mm in width with an air-fluid
level, extending the length along the craniectomy defect (2, 14). This is new
from the prior exam.
The ventricles are unchanged in size and configuration. The basal cisterns
are patent. There is no evidence of a large vascular territory infarction.
The visualized paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities
are clear. Other than postoperative changes along the craniectomy site, the
soft tissues are unremarkable.

TECHNIQUE: CT images were obtained through the chest after the uneventful
intravenous administration of 75 cc of Omnipaque contrast media. Multiplanar
reformations were prepared.
COMPARISON: ___, CT abdomen ___
FINDINGS: The left thyroid lobe remains heterogeneous and enlarged as on
previous studies in this patient status post recent radioactive iodine therapy
on ___ (2:2). The aorta and major branches are patent and normal
in caliber with mild atherosclerotic calcifications. The heart and
pericardium are unremarkable without pericardial effusion. The previously
described anterior mediastinal lesion concerning for thymoma has resolved.
An 8.5 x 6.8 x 6.0 cm mass (602b:49 and 2:30) traverses the left major fissure
involving superior segment of the left lower lobe as well as the inferior
aspect of the apicoposterior segment of the left upper lobe. The mass exerts
marked local mass effect resulting in segmental occlusion of the left lower
lobe pulmonary artery with distal reconstitution (2:32 and 601b:32), mild
attenutation of the left upper lobe airways and moderate compression of the
left lower lobe bronchus without lobar collapse. Mild septal thickening and
ground glass opacity along the lateral and inferior aspect of the lesion could
reflect lymphangitic spread of tumor, mild atelectasis or postobstructive
changes.
The lesion drapes along 180 degrees of the descending thoracic aortic
circumference with somewhat blurred fat planes (2:26) and extends along the
medial aspect of the posterior pleura at the site of a calcified pleural
plaque without accompanying pleural effusion. A confluent soft tissue
projection extends from the lesion into the mediastinum measuring 3.7 x 4.2 cm
(2:24) with anterior and rightward displacement of the carina and esophagus
and mild attenuation of the left mainstem bronchus. The esophagus appears
compressed with circumferential esophageal mural thickening noted slightly
more distally (2:27). Multiple subcentimeter right upper paratracheal lymph
nodes are notable in number (2:14).
Moderate predominantly centrilobular emphysema is unchanged. Bilateral
calcified pleural plaques and a predominantly basilar subpleural interstitial
abnormality is consistent with the previous diagnosis of asbestosis. The
trachea and right-sided airways appear patent to the segmental level. A right
major fissural 5 mm nodule is unchanged (4:104).
Although this study is not tailored for subdiaphragmatic evaluation the imaged
upper abdomen reveals unchanged nodularity in the lateral limb of the left
adrenal gland measuring 9 mm and body of the left adrenal gland measuring 12
mm (2:61 and 58), which is stable.
OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: No definite lytic or blastic bony lesion is seen to
suggest malignancy with mild heterogeneity in the T3 vertebral body of
uncertain significance.
IMPRESSION:
1. 8.5 cm left upper and lower lobe mass traverses the major fissure,
infiltrates the mediastinum with loss of fat planes with the esophagus, and
occludes a short segment of the left lower lobe pulmonary artery with distal
reconstitution. Mild narrowing of the left upper and lower lobe airways
without lobar collapse. Mild surrounding septal thickening could reflect
postobstructive changes or lymphangitic tumor spread.
2. Esophageal compression and thickening from the mass, correlate for history
of dysphagia.
3. Pleural plaques with subpleural reticulation consistent with asbestosis
from prior exposure.
4. Moderate emphysema.
5. Heterogeneous enlarged left thyroid gland as before status post recent
radioactive iodine therapy.
6. Unchanged left adrenal nodularity. While the nodules were of indeterminate
density on prior non-contrast abdominal CT examinations, stability in size
since ___ suggests benignity.
7. Mild heterogeneity in the T3 vertebral body is nonspecific and can be
correlated with bone scan if indicated.
Preliminary findings were discussed with Dr. ___ by Dr. ___ at 2215 on
___ by phone.

cardiopulmonary process.
COMPARISON: Chest radiographs dated ___ and ___. CT chest with contrast dated ___.
TECHNIQUE: Portable semi-erect frontal radiograph of the chest.
FINDINGS: In comparison to the most recent prior study, there is increased
opacification in the medial right lung base which may represent an early
developing pneumonia in the appropriate clinical context but could also
represent atelectasis. A large left juxtahilar mass is unchanged,
corresponding to the patient's biopsy-proven small cell carcinoma, better
characterized on recent CT of the chest. Bilateral calcified pleural plaques
are present. No significant pleural effusion or pneumothorax is detected.
The pulmonary vasculature is not engorged. The cardiac silhouette is top
normal in size but stable. The thoracic aorta is tortuous. The trachea is
midline.
IMPRESSION:
1. Slightly increased opacification at the medial right lung base could
represent an early developing pneumonia in the appropriate clinical context
or, alternatively, atelectasis.
2. Left juxtahilar mass corresponding to known small cell carcinoma, better
characterized on recent CT of ___.
3. Calcified pleural plaques compatible with prior asbestos exposure.

effect, or acute large territorial infarction. Extensive hypoattenuation in
the centra semiovale and periventricular white matter is unchanged from prior
and consistent with sequelae of chronic small vessel ischemic disease. Mild
proportionate enlargement of the ventricles and sulci is consistent with
age-related global atrophy. A previously seen tiny focus of enhancement
within the left cerebellum has ___ clear correlate on the non-contrast head CT.
___ focus of new edema is identified to suggest development of underlying new
metastatic lesion. ___ scalp hematoma or acute skull fracture is identified.

Assess for pulmonary embolism or traumatic injury.
COMPARISON: CT chest with contrast from ___, PET-CT from ___, CT abdomen and pelvis from ___
TECHNIQUE: MDCT-acquired axial images from the thoracic inlet to the lung
bases were displayed with 1.25- and 2.5-mm slice thickness. Arterial phase
imaging through the chest was acquired. Subsequently, delayed phase imaging
was acquired through the abdomen or pelvis and displayed with 5-mm slice
thickness. Intravenous contrast was administered. Coronal, sagittal, and MIP
oblique reformations were prepared.
CT CHEST WITH INTRAVENOUS CONTRAST: Heterogeneous enlargement of the left
thyroid gland is stable compared to prior examination. Aside from known
tumor, remaining mediastinal lymph nodes are subcentimeter and appear
unchanged compared to prior examination. No supraclavicular or axillary
lymphadenopathy is identified. The heart size is normal, and there is no
pericardial effusion. Thoracic aorta is non-aneurysmal and patent.
Known small cell lung carcinoma within the posterior segment of the left upper
lobe and within the superior segment of the left lower lobe is similar to
recent prior examination from 11 days prior. Inferior portion measures 26 x
31 mm as compared to 23 x 25 mm previously. Superior portion measures 44 x 27
mm as compared to 48 x 27 mm previously (2A:54). The superior segment left
lower lobe bronchus continues to contain tumor, however, is not fully
occluded, unchanged. Tumoral invasion and thrombus within the left lower lobe
pulmonary artery appears unchanged (2A:60). The remainder of the pulmonary
arterial tree is widely patent without sign of superimposed acute pulmonary
embolism. No distal propagation of tumoral thrombus is evident. Irregular
opacities within the posterior right upper lobe (2A:46 and 54) are stable
compared to prior examination, are are likely infectious or inflammatory in
etiology. Previously described sub-3-mm pulmonary nodules are not well
characterized on this examination likely due to differences in technique. No
new suspicious pulmonary nodule or mass is identified. Diffuse emphysema is
unchanged. Numerous calcified pleural plaques are unchanged and consistent
with asbestosis. There is mild basilar atelectasis.
CT ABDOMEN WITH INTRAVENOUS CONTRAST: Focal irregular arterial enhancement
within the hepatic dome is not seen on delayed phase imaging and likely
reflects a perfusional abnormality. No suspicious hepatic lesion is
identified. Hepatic veins and portal venous system are grossly patent. No
intra- or extra-hepatic biliary ductal dilatation is identified. Tiny
hypodense foci within the gallbladder may reflect nitrogen-containing stones.
The gallbladder is otherwise unremarkable. The spleen, pancreas, and right
adrenal gland are normal. An 11 mm indeterminate left adrenal nodule is
stable dating back to ___, likely a small adenoma. The kidneys enhance
symmetrically without suspicious focal lesion or hydronephrosis.
Subcentimeter hypodensities within the left kidney remain too small to
characterize, though likely small cysts. No perinephric fluid collection or
hydronephrosis is evident. No pathologically enlarged mesenteric or
retroperitoneal lymph nodes are identified. The stomach and small bowel loops
are normal in caliber and configuration without evidence of obstruction or
inflammation. The appendix is visualized and is normal. No abdominal free
fluid or free air is evident. The abdominal aorta and branch vessels are
non-aneurysmal and patent. Redemonstrated is aneurysmal dilatation of the
left common iliac artery measuring 4.2 x 4.5 cm. Thrombosis of >75% of the
left common iliac aneurysm is stable. Distal flow is preserved to the left
external iliac, internal iliac, and common femoral artery.
CT PELVIS WITH INTRAVENOUS CONTRAST: Rectum and colon are normal in caliber
and configuration without evidence of obstruction or inflammation. A Foley
catheter and a small amount of air are seen within the urinary bladder.
Prostatic enlargement is unchanged from prior. A hypodense lesion within the
anterior aspect of the prostate gland is stable and likely represents a small
cyst (2B:185). There is no pelvic free fluid. No pathologically enlarged
pelvic or inguinal lymph nodes are identified.
BONES AND SOFT TISSUES: No bone destructive lesion or acute fracture is
identified. Heterogeneity of the sacrum is unchanged compared to ___,
findings consistent with a benign process. No bone destructive lesion is
identified.
IMPRESSION:

with invasion into the mediastinum. Ongoing tumoral invasion into the left
lower lobe bronchus and left lower lobe pulmonary artery. Findings are
unchanged compared to recent prior examination from ___.
2. No superimposed acute pulmonary embolism
3. Ground-glass nodules within the right upper lung persist, though are
likely infectious/inflammatory in etiology. Attention on followup is
recommended. Additional millimeteric pulmonary nodules not seen likely due to
technical differences.
5. Stones in an otherwise normal gallbladder.
6. Stable 11-mm left adrenal lesion, likely an adenoma.
7. Stable 4.5-cm partially thrombosed left common iliac aneurysm

characterize but statistically a cyst. There is no evidence of focal
suspicious renal lesions or hydronephrosis. There is no perinephric
abnormality.
GASTROINTESTINAL: Small hiatal hernia, otherwise the stomach is unremarkable.

Chronic right posterior right rib fracture is noted. There is bilateral L4
spondylolysis resulting in grade 2 spondylolisthesis of L4 on L5. The
vertebral bodies of L4 and L5 are fused together suggesting that the changes
at L4-5 are chronic.
There is hematoma within the right abdominal musculature just anterior to the
right iliac wing with subcutaneous stranding in the overlying soft tissues as
well as extension medially to overlie the iliacus. A 6 mm high-density focus
just anterior to the bone (3:171) could represent a small osseous fragment
(though no donor site identified), versus extravasation of contrast.
Right L5 transverse process fracture is acute.
SOFT TISSUES: The abdominal and pelvic wall is otherwise within normal limits.
IMPRESSION:
1. Displaced comminuted fracture of the mid left clavicle.
2. Hematoma within the right lateral abdominal musculature adjacent to the
right iliac wing with small hematoma overlying the left iliacus as well.
Associated small high density 6 mm focus overlying the iliac bone, potentially
small fracture fragment (though no donor site identified) versus extravasation
of contrast.
3. Acute right L5 transverse process fracture.
4. No acute intra-abdominal process. No sequela of trauma in the abdomen and
pelvis.
5. The patient is status post right upper lobectomy with expected postsurgical
changes without evidence of disease recurrence in the surgical bed.
6. There are a few pulmonary nodules in the measuring up to 7 mm. Follow-up
will be necessary unless imaging performed elsewhere document long-term
stability.
RECOMMENDATION(S): For incidentally detected multiple solid pulmonary
nodules measuring 6 to 8mm, a CT follow-up in 3 to 6 months is recommended in
a low-risk patient, with an optional CT follow-up in 18 to 24 months. In a
high-risk patient, both a CT follow-up in 3 to 6 months and in 18 to 24 months
is recommended.
