EXAMINATION: CHEST (PORTABLE AP) INDICATION: History: ___ with ngt// ngt placement COMPARISON: Targeted review of outside chest radiograph and CT abdomen exams ___ FINDINGS: 2 AP views of the chest were obtained, 1 labeled # 1 the other labeled # 2. On # 1, the tip of the NG tube lies just be low the carina. On # 2, the tip lies slightly distal to that, but is still approximately a 7.3 cm above the traditional site of the GE junction. Of note, targeted review of the outside CT from ___ suggests the presence of a relatively large hiatal hernia, also suggested on this AP radiograph, and the tip of the NG tube therefore probably lies in close proximity to the herniated GE junction. If clinically indicated, a lateral view may be helpful in better demonstrating that. Rotated positioning. Probable mild cardiomegaly. Aorta calcified and unfolded. Upper zone redistribution, but doubt overt CHF. Bibasilar atelectasis. Part of the retrocardiac density is probably accounted for by the hiatal hernia, but there is also mild indistinctness of left hemidiaphragm. No definite pneumonic infiltrate. No gross pleural effusion. IMPRESSION: On the later image taken at 01:45 (image # 2), the tip of the NG tube is approximately 7.3 cm above the hemidiaphragm (costovertebral angle). However, there is likely also a relatively large hiatal hernia, with the GE junction resultantly lying in the lower chest. If clinically indicated, a lateral view may be helpful in better demonstrating that. Please see comment above. The nature of hiatal hernia is not fully characterized on the basis of this radiograph. Probable mild cardiomegaly. Mild bibasilar atelectasis. Given slight indistinctness of the left hemidiaphragm, continued attention to the left base is recommended to exclude changes related to aspiration pneumonitis. NOTIFICATION: Critical results were discussed with ___, M.D. by ___, M.D. on the telephone on ___ at 4:40 am, 10 minutes after discovery of the findings. Review ___ am)of thoracic surgery consult note on OMR on ___ indicates that the clinical team is aware of the presence of a large hiatal hernia.

HISTORY: ___ male with question of choledocholithiasis at outside hospital. Patient had right upper quadrant pain two days ago though pain has now improved. COMPARISON: None available RIGHT UPPER QUADRANT ULTRASOUND: The liver is homogeneous in echogenicity without focal lesion. The main portal vein is patent with hepatopetal flow. The gallbladder is filled with stones. There is no gallbladder distention, and the sonographic ___ sign was negative. However, gallbladder wall thickening, edema and minimal pericholecystic fluid may be present. Additionally, there is an echogenic band crossing the mid portion of the gallbladder which is of uncertain etiology. It may represent a prominent fold, though focal mass lesion cannot be excluded. The gallbladder wall is hypervascular. No intrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation is identified. The common bile duct is dilated up to 8 mm. No ductal stone is identified. The spleen is normal measuring 10.9 cm. The pancreatic head, neck, and body appear normal in echogenicity. Evaluation of the tail is limited by overlying bowel gas. IMPRESSION: 1. Non-distended stone-filled gallbladder with wall thickening, hyperemia and possible pericholecystic fluid. Echogenic band crossing the mid gallbladder, query thick septation/fold or other soft tissue. 2. Dilated common bile duct up to 8 mm Recommend MRCP for further assessment of the biliary tree and for evaluation of the echogenic band seen crossing the mid gallbladder. Sonographic findings are equivocal for acute cholecystitis.

INDICATION: ___ male with abdominal pain, elevated liver enzymes and bilirubin, and status post ERCP with sphincterotomy and incomplete gallbladder filling. Question malignancy. COMPARISON: Ultrasound dated ___. TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar T1- and T2-weighted images were acquired at 1.5 Tesla, including dynamic 3D imaging obtained prior to, during, and following uneventful intravenous administration of 8 mL of Gadovist. In addition, 2 mL of Gadovist and 75 mL of water were administered orally. FINDINGS: Corresponding to previously seen echogenic band across the mid gallbladder on ultrasound dated ___, there is "hourglass" appearance to the gallbladder, with a triangular 1.9 x 1.3 cm band of avidly enhancing tissue across the waist of the gallbladder (1003, 61), with internal foci of T2 hyperintensity (for example, 3, 12), morphology highly suggestive of focal adenomyomatosis, much less likely carcinoma. There is no gallbladder wall thickening away from the enhancing tissue. There are stones within the fundal gallbladder. There are no surrounding inflammatory changes to suggest cholecystitis. The liver appears unremarkable. There is no evidence of biliary dilatation, with common duct measuring 7 mm. The adrenal glands, spleen, and kidneys are normal in appearance. There are bilateral tiny renal cysts, measuring up to 8 mm on the right. Bowel loops appear unremarkable. Bone marrow signal is normal with the exception of a small T2 hyperintense probable hemangioma within L5 vertebral body. The lung bases are clear. IMPRESSION: Findings most consistent with focal adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder, much less likely carcinoma, to be correlated with pathology.

INDICATION: ___ female with constipation, abdominal tenderness, and fever. ___ and ___. TECHNIQUE: Axial CT images through the abdomen and pelvis were acquired after administration of intravenous contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformatted images were reviewed. FINDINGS: There is a small left pleural effusion with adjacent atelectasis. A hypodense rim around a contrast opacified descending aorta is concerning for dissection. The celiac axis and origin of the superior mesenteric artery are patent and arise from the true lumen. The dissection appears to extend to just above the origin of the left renal artery and in the region of the right renal artery, although evaluation is difficult on this study due to contrast timing. The kidneys enhance and excrete contrast symmetrically. ABDOMEN: Right calcified pleural plaque is again noted. The liver, spleen, gallbladder, pancreas, adrenal glands, stomach, small bowel, and colon are within normal limits. There is no free intraperitoneal air or ascites. No mesenteric or retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy is detected. Bilateral renal hypodensities likely represent cysts but are incompletely evaluated and on the left are too small to characterize. PELVIS: The bladder, uterus, and rectum are unremarkable. There is mild fecal loading. No intrapelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy is detected. Degenerative changes are seen in the spine. IMPRESSION: 1. Aortic dissection with small left pleural effusion, incompletely imaged. 2. Mild fecal loading.

INDICATION: ___ with type A dissection, contained rupture just distal to the left subclavian artery, status post TEVAR and right femoral patch, assess for distal third of the right foot because of asymmetric examination. COMPARISON: CTA chest, ___. TECHNIQUE: MDCT axial images were obtained extending just proximal to the aortic bifurcation with bilateral runoff with the administration of IV contrast. Multiplanar reformats were generated and reviewed. FINDINGS: Intra-abdominal loops of large and small bowel appear unremarkable. Calcification is noted within the right adnexa. There is a small amount of ascites. The uterus appears unremarkable. The bladder demonstrates presence of Foley and air within the bladder. Visualized osseous structures show no focal lytic or sclerotic lesions suspicious for malignancy. CTA RUNOFF: On the right, plaque is noted within the right common femoral artery; however, the right common femoral artery, superficial femoral artery appear patent. There is complete occlusion of the popliteal artery on the right, which is reconstituted below the knee with patency of right anterior tibial, peroneal and posterior tibial arteries, which are followed to the mid calf, where they taper off likely due to slow perfusion. On the left, the left common femoral, superficial femoral and popliteal arteries appear patent. The anterior tibial, posterior tibial and peroneal arteries on the left appear patent; however, they taper off at the level of the mid calf, similar to the right side, likely due to slow perfusion. IMPRESSION: 1. Right popliteal artery occluded with reconstitution below knee.Findings may represent embolus as the vessels otherwise appear without significant thrombus. 2. Bilateral anterior tibial, posterior tibial and peroneal arteries traced to the level of the midcalf where they taper off, likely due to slow perfusion. 3. Calcification in right adnexa. 4. Ascites.

___ female with chest pain and history of type A dissection in ___, question acute thoracic process. COMPARISON: Multiple priors, most recently ___. TECHNIQUE: ___ MDCT-acquired axial images from the thoracic inlet to the pubic symphysis were displayed with 2.5-mm and 5-mm slice thickness. Axial images of the chest were initially acquired in a non-contrast phase, followed by arterial phase imaging through the chest, abdomen and pelvis. Curved reformats and volume-rendered images were prepared on a separate workstation and reviewed on the PACS. FINDINGS: There is no pulmonary arterial filling defect to the subsegmental level. The patient is status post descending thoracic aortic stent graft. Notably since ___, there is interval increase in the diameter of the descending thoracic aorta along the segment covered by the stent. Approximate proximal diameter is 4.1 compared to 3.2 cm on the prior study, mid portion 4.3 compared to 3.6, lower portion 3.9 compared to 3.5 cm and just inferior to the stent it measures 2.4, stable to the last study. There is heterogeneity of the luminal contrast in the descending aorta, most likely due to mixing artifact. There is an enlarged heart, particularly the right atrium. Tracheobronchial tree appears patent to the subsegmental level. No pleural or pericardial effusion. No axillary, mediastinal lymphadenopathy by CT criteria. There is compressive atelectasis adjacent to the ectatic aorta. Although this exam was not tailored for subdiaphragmatic evaluation, the non-contrast appearance of the subdiaphragmatic organs appears unremarkable. A fat containing diaphragmatic hernia is present. IMPRESSION: 1) Interval dilation of the descending thoracic aorta involving the segment covered by the stent, now up to 4.3 cm. Recommend vascular surgical consult. 2) No pulmonary embolism.

HISTORY: ___ man with Crohn's disease, status post remote subtotal colectomy, now with fevers leukocytosis and inability to tolerate oral feeds. COMPARISON: CT abdomen and pelvis ___, MRCP ___ and ___. TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar T1 and T2 weighted MR images of the abdomen and pelvis was performed prior to and after uneventful intravenous administration of 8 mL of Gadavist. 670 mL of volumen was administered as intraluminal oral contrast via the nasogastric tube. 1 mg of intramuscular glucagon was administered reduced bowel motion. FINDINGS: Numerous T2 hyperintense lesions throughout the liver, predominant in the left hepatic lobe, consistent with hepatic cysts are stable. Asymmetric small dilation and irregularity of the left intrahepatic bile ducts, associated with mild left hepatic lobe atrophy, secondary to PSC is again noted, but better evaluated in the prior MRCP study. The gallbladder is normal. The adrenal glands, kidneys and spleen are normal. Multiple cystic pancreatic lesions consistent with IPMN are again seen. There is minimal increase in size of a few of these lesions including a dominant multilobulated lesion with thin internal pseudoseptation in the pancreatic body now measuring 26 x 18 mm (06:18), previously (___) 20 x 12 mm. A 13 x 11 mm cyst in the pancreatic tail (06:19) is also larger since the prior study of ___, 9 x 10 mm. The main pancreatic duct is not dilated. The abdominal aorta is normal in caliber. No pathologic retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymphadenopathy is seen. The patient is status post subtotal colectomy. The ileo colonic anastomosis, likely in the right lower quadrant (6:62) has less prominent wall thickening compared to the prior CT study. The stomach and small bowel loops are distended from the administered oral contrast. The bowel loops are distended all the way to the rectum, without a focal transition point. A focal area of wall thickening and intramural fatty infiltration in the rectum (5:26), without hyperenhancement or edema, represent changes of chronic Crohn's disease. Mild tethering and angulation of the central small bowel loops are likely due to adhesions (05:20, 21). The urinary bladder and prostate are normal. There is no pelvic lymphadenopathy or free fluid. No focal bone lesion is identified. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence of current bowel obstruction. Chronic changes related to Crohn's disease, without active inflammation evident. Widely patent ileosigmoid anastomosis Mild tethering and angulation of central small bowel loops from adhesions. 2. Numerous pancreatic cysts, likely side-branch IPMN, with mild interval enlargement of the dominant cysts since ___. Follow up MRCP in ___ year is recommended. 3. Numerous simple hepatic cysts. Known changes of primary sclerosing cholangitis, predominant in the left hepatic lobe are better assessed on the prior MRCP studies.

EXAMINATION: MRCP INDICATION: ___ year old man with primary sclerosing cholangitis and recent admission for cholangitis coming with fever // eval for evidence of cholangitis or CBD dilatation TECHNIQUE: T1 and T2 weighted multiplanar images of the abdomen were acquired within a 1.5 T magnet, including 3D dynamic sequences obtained prior to, during, and following the administration of 9 cc of Gadavist intravenous contrast. The patient also received oral contrast of 1 cc of Gadavist diluted in 50 cc of water. COMPARISON: Numerous prior abdominal ultrasounds, CTs and MRIs ranging ___ to ___. FINDINGS: Compared to ___, there has been mild improvement of multifocal cholangitis. Chronic moderate intrahepatic bile duct dilation with irregularity is unchanged, involving the left lobe more than the right. The common bile duct remains irregular in contour and dilated proximally to 11-mm with an unchanged narrowing in the mid portion of the duct. No new or progressive ductal dilation or choledocholithiasis is seen. Heterogeneous arterial enhancement with hyperintensity on T2-weighted imaging remains within the right lobe, more parenchymally based rather than in a peribiliary distribution. This is most apparent on the arterial phase, with a lesser degree of persistent hyperenhancement on the more delayed phases. ___ hyperenhancement in segment II has improved since ___ compatible with resolving cholangitis. No parenchymal abscess or phlegmon is identified. Multiple left lobe hepatic cysts and/or biliary hamartomas are unchanged. The pancreatic parenchyma maintains relatively normal bulk and signal. There are innumerable pancreatic cystic lesions. These are unchanged in distribution and size as compared to the recent prior examination. Mild gradual increase in size of these lesions is noted when compared to more remote examinations. Complexity is difficult to assess given the quantity and small size of these lesions, but no enhancing nodularity is definitely identified within these pancreatic cysts. The spleen, adrenal glands and kidneys are unremarkable. There is no ascites or lymphadenopathy. The patient is status post subtotal colectomy. The osseous structures are within normal limits. Venous structures are patent. IMPRESSION: Interval improvement in previous areas of cholangitis within the right lobe and segment II of the left lobe of the liver. No hepatic abscess. Unchanged irregularity and moderate intrahepatic and common bile duct dilation, without new areas of biliary obstruction or inflammation. Innumerable pancreatic cystic structures, most consistent with multifocal side branch IPMNs. These are unchanged from recent prior examinations.

IV contrast was administered. Coronal and sagittal reformations were prepared. DOSE: DLP: 805.89 mGy-cm COMPARISON: CT abdomen pelvis dated ___, MRCP dated ___. FINDINGS: THORAX: The visualized lung bases demonstrate bibasilar dependent atelectasis. The heart size is normal. There is no evidence of pericardial effusion. The distal esophagus is distended and fluid-filled, which may be secondary to reflux. LIVER: There is a persistent degree of moderate irregular intrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation, seen bilaterally but more pronounced on the left and measuring up to 8 mm in diameter (2:19), similar in extent as compared to the recent MRCP. The proximal extrahepatic CBD measures approximately 1.0 cm in diameter, also similar to the prior MRCP, with a stricture again identified in the mid portion of the duct. Numerous hypodensities within the liver likely reflecting hepatic cysts versus biliary hamartomas are re- demonstrated, more prominent on the left, and minimally changed from the prior examination. The left hepatic lobe remains mildly atrophic relative to the right. No new hepatic mass is identified. No Subtle areas of peripheral hyperenhancement are seen within the right hepatic lobe, not as well visualized as on the prior MRCP. The main portal vein and superior mesenteric vein are patent. Tiny foci of air are noted within the intrahepatic and extrahepatic portal system and SMV (2:29), new from the prior exam. GALLBLADDER: The gallbladder is grossly unremarkable appearance. SPLEEN: The spleen is homogeneous in attenuation and somewhat atrophic. PANCREAS: The pancreas is mildly atrophic and contains numerous large cystic lesions, better characterized on the recent MRCP and likely reflect side branch IPMNs. These are essentially unchanged in size and configuration as compared to the recent MRCP. No solid suspicious mass is identified. There is no main pancreatic ductal dilatation. ADRENALS: The adrenal glands are normal bilaterally, without evidence of mass. KIDNEYS: The kidneys enhance symmetrically and excrete contrast promptly. There is no evidence of hydronephrosis or solid renal masses. BOWEL: The patient is status post subtotal colectomy with an anastomosis of the iliosigmoid, likely in the right lower quadrant. The majority of the small bowel, sigmoid, and rectum are fluid-filled and distended, most compatible with gastroenteritis given the patient's history of nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. 2 focal areas of apparent bowel wall thickening are noted in the right lower quadrant, 1 of which is in the ileum, and the other of which is likely at the ileosigmoid anastomosis (2:62, 65) and may be secondary to underdistention as there is no adjacent fat stranding, but inflammation is difficult to exclude. Areas of small bowel angulation within the mid abdomen are again noted, similar to prior examinations and likely secondary to adhesions. A focal region of rectal wall thickening is again seen, unchanged, and likely secondary to chronic Crohn's disease. No evidence of small bowel obstruction is clearly demonstrated. There is no evidence of pneumatosis. No free air or free fluid is demonstrated. VESSELS: The aorta and its major branches contains mild atherosclerotic calcifications but are widely patent. LYMPH NODES: There is no evidence of pathologic retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymphadenopathy by CT size criteria. PELVIS: The urinary bladder is grossly unremarkable. There is no sidewall or inguinal lymphadenopathy. A small, fat containing left inguinal hernia is present. There is no free fluid within the pelvis. OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: There are no suspicious sclerotic or blastic osseous lesions identified. IMPRESSION: 1. Foci of gas within the portal and superior mesenteric veins, new from the prior examination. There is no definite evidence of bowel ischemia or pneumatosis. Findings could potentially be related to history of inflammatory bowel disease or bacteremia/ongoing infection. Clinical correlation is recommended and close imaging followup is suggested. 2. Intrahepatic biliary ductal irregularity and dilatation, and proximal common bile duct dilatation with stricturing in its mid portion, largely unchanged from prior examination and secondary to the patient's primary sclerosing cholangitis. No hepatic abscess is identified. 3. Diffusely fluid-filled and distended small bowel, colon, and rectum, likely reflective of gastroenteritis given the patient's clinical presentation. No transition point or bowel obstruction is identified. 4. 2 focal areas of apparent bowel wall thickening in the right lower quadrant, 1 presumably at the anastomosis of the ileum with the sigmoid colon, and another within the ileum, without adjacent inflammatory changes. These findings may be secondary to bowel underdistension, although mild bowel inflammation is difficult to exclude. If clinically warranted, MRI enterography could be performed for further evaluation. 5. Numerous hepatic cysts/ biliary hamartomas and pancreatic cystic lesions, likely side branch IPMNs, unchanged and better evaluated on the recent MRCP. NOTIFICATION: Findings were conveyed by Dr. ___ to Dr. ___ telephone at 23:10 on ___.

COMPARISON: CT performed on ___. MRI of the abdomen performed on ___. MR enterography performed on ___. FINDINGS: MR ENTEROGRAPHY: The patient is status post colectomy. The small bowel is diffusely dilated and fluid filled. In the distal small bowel (series 902, image 51) there is a short-segment stricture measuring 3.6 cm in length and demonstrating wall thickening and mucosal hyper enhancement. Distal to this stricture, there is a second stricture which measures approximately 6 cm in length and also demonstrates wall thickening and mucosal hyperenhancement. In the anterior abdomen, there is a short segment stricture (series 11, image 136) also demonstrating mild wall thickening and mucosal hyper enhancement. MR ABDOMEN: Diffuse intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct dilation and beading worse in the left lobe is again compatible with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), better visualized on the MRCP in ___. The degree of biliary dilation is stable when compared to the most recent MRI allowing for differences in technique. There are multiple T2 hyperintense cystic pancreatic lesions as seen on prior MRCP. The visualized portions of the liver, spleen, bilateral adrenal glands, and kidneys are normal. There is sludge in the gallbladder. The abdominal aorta is of normal caliber throughout. Note is made of an accessory right renal artery. No enlarged mesenteric or retroperitoneal lymph nodes are seen. There are enhancing nodules along the anterior abdomen, likely representing injection granulomas. MR PELVIS: The bladder is unremarkable. There is no free fluid or lymphadenopathy. No bone marrow signal abnormality is identified. IMPRESSION: 1. Three new inflammatory strictures are identified in the small bowel as described above compatible with active, probably on chronic, Crohn's disease. 2. Dilated small bowel containing fluid compatible with history of diarrhea. 3. No evidence of perforation or abscess. 4. Intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct dilation with beading compatible with primary sclerosing cholangitis. The overall appearance is grossly stable from the prior exam last month; however, contribution of cholangitis to the patient's symptoms cannot be excluded.

EXAMINATION: MRCP. INDICATION: Crohn's disease and primary sclerosing cholangitis. History of cholangitis with multiple ERCP since stent placements, presenting with fever and right upper quadrant pain. TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar T1- and T2-weighted images of the abdomen were obtained on a 1.5 Tesla magnet including sequences obtained prior to and following intravenous gadolinium administration. 9 cc of Gadavist was administered intravenously. COMPARISON: MRCP is available from ___ and more recent MR ___ from ___. FINDINGS: Dilatation with multifocal strictures of intrahepatic biliary ducts, most striking in the left lobe, appear very similar to the recent prior study. There are no severely dilated ducts and the pattern is very similar. Extensive biliary wall thickening and early persistent hyperenhancement is again striking among ducts in the left lateral segments with more patchy involvement of ducts in the right lobe, including in segment V. The main change is new ill-defined early hyperenhancement in segment V accompanied by increased signal on T2-weighted imaging and suggestion of relative restricted diffusion compared to the background liver. Increased background signal of liver parenchyma in the left lobe on T2 weighted images appears very similar to the prior study. No fluid collection is found. Several cysts of varying sizes, mostly located in the left lateral segments, appear unchanged. Extrahepatic biliary ducts show similar diffuse mild wall thickening without focal mass. Gallbladder is only partly full without stones. Numerous pancreatic cysts, most confluent in the body and tail, appear unchanged, the largest again measuring up to 35 mm. The spleen is normal in size and appearance. Adrenals are unremarkable. Kidneys also appear within normal limits. The stomach and visible bowel appear normal. Major vascular structures appear widely patent. There is no lymphadenopathy or ascites. Bone marrow signal intensities are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: Very little short-term change aside from an area of increased enhancement and edema in the fifth segment of the liver in addition to pre-existing finding suggesting active cholangitis.

HISTORY: T-cell lymphoma, now with dyspnea, cough, and hoarseness. TECHNIQUE: Frontal and lateral chest radiographs were obtained. COMPARISON: Comparison is made to radiographs dated ___. FINDINGS: Interval removal of a previous left PICC line. A zone of minimally increased density is seen in the ight lower lobe, concerning for a possible consolidation. Bilateral, perihilar lymphadenopathy is noted, unchanged in appearance from prior examination. There is no pleural effusion, pneumothorax, or pulmonary edema. The heart size is normal. Mediastinal contours are stable. IMPRESSION: Right lower lobe consolidation, concerning for early pneumonia. Findings were entered into the radiology dashboard by Dr. ___ at 1:22pm on ___, 5 minutes after discovery.

EXAM: CT abdomen pelvis. INDICATION: Patient new diagnosis of T-cell lymphoma status post 1 cycle of chemotherapy now with increased shortness of breath, evaluate for progression of disease. COMPARISON: Images from CT Abd/pelvis from ___. TECHNIQUE: Axial helical MDCT scan of the torso was done after the administration of split bolus of IV contrast and oral contrast. Multiplanar reformatted images in coronal and sagittal axes were generated. DLP: 677.20 mGy-cm FINDINGS: CT THORAX: Please refer to separate report on CT chest performed on the same date for discussion of findings within the thorax. LIVER: The liver enhances homogeneously, without focal lesions or intrahepatic biliary duct dilatation. The gallbladder is unremarkable and the portal vein is patent. PANCREAS: The pancreas does not demonstrate focal lesions, peripancreatic stranding or fluid collection. SPLEEN: The spleen is enlarged and measures 16 cm in its largest dimension. A hypodense wedge-shaped region is seen in the lateral aspect of the spleen, likely an old infarct. ADRENALS: The adrenal glands are unremarkable. KIDNEYS: The kidneys do not show solid or cystic lesions and demonstrate symmetric nephrograms and excretion of contrast. No pelvicaliceal dilatation or perinephric abnormalities are present. GI TRACT: The stomach, duodenum and small bowel are within normal limits, without evidence of wall thickening or obstruction. The colon is non-dilated without evidence of obstructive lesions. The appendix is not well visualized but there is no evidence of appendicitis. VASCULAR: The aorta is of normal caliber without aneurysmal dilatation. The IVC and major abdominal vessels are patent. RETROPERITONEUM AND ABDOMEN: Diffuse lymphadenopathy is seen in all nodal stations within the abdomen and pelvis, most of which are stable or smaller in size compared to study from ___. These include: para-esophageal, gastrohepatic, portahepatic, splenic hilum, retrocrural, retroperitoneal, mesenteric, common iliac, external iliac, obturator, and inguinal stations. The largest nodes are located in the external iliac and inguinal stations. For example, the largest external iliac node now measures 3.4 x 4.5 cm, previously 5.8 x 5.3cm, decreased in size. The largest right inguinal node now measures 3.8 x 2.3cm, previously 3.7 x 2.1cm, unchanged in size. No ascites, free air or abdominal wall hernias are noted.
