Axial imaging was performed with gradient echo, FLAIR, diffusion, and T2 technique were then obtained. COMPARISON CTA head and neck ___ FINDINGS: 2 punctate foci of restricted diffusion are identified, the first in the periventricular white matter anterior to the frontal horn of the left lateral ventricle, and the second in the left posterior frontal corona radiata (images 15 and 21 of series 3 and 4). These are in keeping with acute to early infarcts. There is extensive confluent T2/FLAIR hyperintensity in the periventricular and deep white matter of the cerebral hemispheres, with more patchy subcortical involvement, nonspecific but likely secondary to chronic small vessel ischemic disease in this age group. There is a combination of chronic infarcts and prominent perivascular spaces in the bilateral basal ganglia. There are multiple chronic microhemorrhages in the right putamen. Additional chronic microhemorrhages are seen in the left cerebellar hemisphere on image 10:7, left lateral putamen/external capsule on image 10:14. Again seen is a there is a 17 mm x 9 mm extra-axial mass at the right anterior parietal vertex, which is hypointense on the present study and calcified on the prior CT, consistent with a calcified meningioma. No edema in the adjacent brain parenchyma. Multiple right anterior ethmoid air cells are opacified. Right frontoethmoidal recess is opacified with mucosal thickening extending into the right frontal sinus. There is minimal mucosal thickening in the left anterior ethmoid air cells and left frontal sinus. There is mild mucosal thickening and small mucous retention cysts in the bilateral maxillary sinuses. Status post bilateral cataract surgery. Sagittal images demonstrate incompletely evaluated degenerative changes in the included upper cervical spine. IMPRESSION: 1. Two punctate acute to early subacute infarcts in the left frontal periventricular white matter and left posterior frontal corona radiata. 2. Multiple chronic small vessel infarcts in the bilateral basal ganglia. 3. Extensive T2/FLAIR signal abnormalities in the supratentorial white matter, nonspecific but likely sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease in this age group. 4. Chronic microhemorrhages in the right greater than left basal ganglia and left cerebellar hemisphere, potentially hypertensive in etiology. 5. Small probable calcified meningioma at the right anterior parietal vertex without edema in the adjacent brain parenchyma. RECOMMENDATION(S): Follow-up MRI with and without contrast in 6 months could be considered to confirm expected stability of the presumed calcified meningioma, though growth of a completely calcified lesion would be unlikely.

INDICATION: ___ with n/v for 3 days, diffusely tenders, KUB showed distended loops of bowel at nursing home. hx of afib on coumadinNO_PO contrast // eval for SBO vs diverticulitis vs colitis TECHNIQUE: CT of the Abdomen and Pelvis with IV contrast and without oral contrast DOSE: DLP: 666 mGy-cm. If not specified, please see PACs series 999 for dose information. COMPARISON: Chest x-ray from ___ FINDINGS: LOWER CHEST: There is partial atelectasis of the right middle lobe. There is a small right pleural effusion. ___ opacities are noted in the left lower lobe. There is also a trace left pleural effusion. Mild cardiomegaly is noted. Aortic valvular calcifications are seen in addition to coronary artery calcifications. There is a small hiatal hernia. There is also calcification of the aortic valve. ABDOMEN: The liver, spleen, gallbladder, adrenal glands, pancreas are within normal limits. Kidneys enhance and excrete contrast symmetrically. Numerous renal hypodensities are noted the largest which are compatible with simple cysts. The abdominal aorta is severely tortuous with moderate atherosclerotic calcifications throughout. There is aneurysmal dilatation of the right common iliac artery at 2.5 cm with a substantial mural thrombus (coronal image 27) causing approximately 40% narrowing of the artery. Severe calcifications of the ostia of the SMA and celiac as well as the renal arteries. Small amount of perihepatic free fluid is identified. There are numerous abnormalities of the bowel at the level of the deep pelvis. This includes an the sinus tract extending from the rectosigmoid colon leading to an extra luminal area of fluid and gas spanning 2.2 x 0.9 cm (2:67) in the mid pelvis. There is severe tethering of the bowel loops to one another in this area including tethering of the adjacent small bowel (2:69); slightly superiorly, there is also noted to be abnormal bowel tethering (2:62). Finally, there is a 9 cm segment of the sigmoid colon (2:69) which is markedly thickened and proximal to which there is fluid filled and partially obstructed. Dilated small bowel loops are seen throughout the abdomen, some of which demonstrate wall edema, no pneumatosis. The rectum is stool-filled. A number of the small bowel loops throughout the abdomen are also noted to have abnormal mucosal hyperenhancement (coronal image 29, in the right lower quadrant). Scattered sigmoid diverticula are noted. PELVIS: Evaluation the pelvic structures is limited due to streak artifact from the left total hip arthroplasty and is partially described above. In addition, there is a cystic structure within the pelvis on the left in close association with the fistulous tracts. This cyst measures 4.7 x 6.9 cm (2:75). Smaller cystic structures seen in the pelvis on the right measures approximately 3.8 x 3.1 cm. The bladder is not well assessed due to artifact and is thought to be decompressed. No lymphadenopathy is noted in the pelvis. BONES AND SOFT TISSUES: No suspicious blastic or lytic lesions. There is severe degenerative changes of the lumbar spine as well as a S-shaped scoliosis. Left hip arthroplasty changes are identified. IMPRESSION: 1. Markedly abnormal bowel in the deep pelvis with apparent fistulous communication, an extraluminal collection, multiple areas of tethering and a segment of thickened sigmoid proximal to which there is partially obstructed bowel. The differential includes possible inflammatory bowel disease versus prior diverticulitis and subsequent complications. A neoplasm cannot be ruled out. 2. Cystic structures in the pelvis which should be further assesses on a nonurgent basis 3. Right common iliac aneurysm with partial mural thrombus 4. Left lower lobe ___ opacities. Question infectious process or aspiration. 5. Right middle lobe partial collapse. 6. Small right and trace left pleural effusion 7. Aortic valve calcifications NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed by Dr. ___ with Dr. ___ in person. If further characterization in detailed evaluation of the pelvic structures is desired, MR may be of use.

EXAMINATION: MR ___ INDICATION: ___ year old woman with fistula/large bowel obstruction TECHNIQUE: T1 and T2-weighted multiplanar images of the abdomen and pelvis were acquired within a 1.5 T magnet, without the use of intravenous contrast. Oral contrast consisted of 900 mL of VoLumen. Examination was terminated prior to completion due to patient inability to continue. COMPARISON: Sigmoidoscopy from ___. CT abdomen pelvis from ___ FINDINGS: MR ENTEROGRAPHY: The majority of the small bowel and colon continues to be distended, fluid filled, with multiple air-fluid levels. The level of obstruction within the mid pelvis is unfortunately poorly evaluated, due to the incomplete, noncontrast nature of this examination, with particular limitation due to artifact associated with patient's left hip prosthetic. Accounting for these limitations, there continues to be a segmental narrowing of the mid sigmoid colon, with circumferential wall thickening. Adjacent loops of small bowel are tethered towards this segment. Fistula from the rectum tracking to the distal sigmoid colon, and continuing superiorly into an abscess is redemonstrated. This abscess is located along the left side of the sigmoid mesocolon, approximately 3 cm in largest diameter 10:26. This process is better characterized on the recent CT. A few scattered diverticula are seen within the colon. There is a small hiatal hernia. Nasogastric tube extends into the proximal stomach which is subsequently decompressed. MRI OF THE ABDOMEN WITH AND WITHOUT IV CONTRAST: Trace bilateral pleural effusions are noted. Small volume ascites is scattered throughout the abdomen and pelvis, predominantly seen in a perihepatic distribution. The noncontrast appearance of the liver, spleen, pancreas and adrenal glands is unremarkable. There are bilateral T2 hyperintense structures within the renal parenchyma, almost certainly representing cysts. No hydronephrosis is noted. The abdominal aorta is tortuous and following the contour of patient's levoscoliosis with the apex at the lumbosacral junction. MRI OF THE PELVIS WITH AND WITHOUT IV CONTRAST: As was seen on recent CT scan, there is aneurysmal change of the right common iliac artery with maximum diameter of 2.3 cm. This is partially thrombosed. Two pelvic cystic structures are again identified 10:35, without apparent communication with adjacent bowel loops and not demonstrating peristalsis on dynamic imaging. These are T2 hyperintense, measuring 6.4 cm on the left and 3.8 cm on the right. These are located in the expected region of the adnexa, along the course of the gonadal vessels. No thick wall or nodularity is noted. Each is concerning for a cystic ovarian neoplasm. The bladder is currently decompressed with a Foley catheter. IMPRESSION: Limited, incomplete examination without additional characterization of the complex, obstructive process within the pelvis beyond the recent CT. A narrowed and thickened segment of mid sigmoid is noted with tethering of adjacent small bowel loops, fistularization to rectum and adjacent 3 cm abscess. Degree of bowel obstruction is relatively unchanged. Findings again remain concerning for malignancy with perforation, although recent colonoscopy did not identify a lesion. Alternatively, an inflammatory stricture, potentially related to diverticulitis, is a consideration. Two simple appearing pelvic cystic structures, suspicious for bilateral ovarian cystic neoplasms.

EXAMINATION: CT ABD AND PELVIS WITH CONTRAST INDICATION: Nausea/vomiting and abdominal pain in a patient with a prior large bowel obstruction. TECHNIQUE: Helical axial MDCT images were obtained from the bases of the lungs through the pubic symphysis, after the administration of IV contrast. Reformatted images in coronal and sagittal axes were generated. DLP: 488 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: CT abdomen/pelvis from ___. FINDINGS: Bilateral pleural effusions, left greater than right, with associated compressive atelectasis on the left. The left-sided pleural effusion is moderate in size. The right-sided effusion is very small. No pericardial effusion is identified. There are calcifications along the mitral and aortic valves as well as coronary arteries. LIVER: The liver enhances homogeneously without focal lesion or intrahepatic biliary duct dilation. The portal vein is patent. There is a small amount of perihepatic free fluid. The gallbladder is distended, without stone or gallbladder wall edema or thickening. SPLEEN: The spleen is homogeneous and normal in size. PANCREAS: The pancreas is without focal lesion or peripancreatic stranding or fluid collection. ADRENALS: The adrenal glands are unremarkable. KIDNEYS: The kidneys demonstrate symmetric nephrograms and excrete contrast promptly. Again noted are multiple hypodensities in each kidney, most of which are too small to characterize but doubtful in significance. A 1.8 cm simple cyst can be characterized in the left interpolar region. These are all unchanged from the most recent CT. GI:There is a small to moderate hiatal hernia. The stomach is incompletely distended, but there is no obvious intraluminal mass or wall thickening.There is diffusely fluid-filled dilated small and distended large bowel with a few interspersed segments of decompressed small bowel. Again seen is the thickened sigmoid colon, partially obscured by metallic artifact from the left hip prosthesis. Proximal colonic wall is borderline thickened only. The extraluminal soft tissue density with tethering of adjacent bowel loops and a fistula from the sigmoid colon in the left hemipelvis is again seen, possibly with slightly increased surrounding stranding. Overall, fluid collections have generally decreased over time but there are probably residual sinus tracks and patent fistulas are not excluded. RETROPERITONEUM: The aorta is tortuous, but normal in caliber, with moderate atherosclerotic calcifications. Again seen is aneurysmal dilation of the right common iliac artery with mural thrombus, unchanged. There is no retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymph node enlargement by CT size criteria. CT PELVIS: Evaluation is significantly limited secondary to streak artifact from the left hip prosthesis. Pelvic fluid collections and inflammatory changes have generally decreased over time, but there is still some left adnexal fullness, probably sequela of prior inflammatory process or relatively large ovary. OSSEOUS STRUCTURES:No focal lesion suspicious for malignancy present. IMPRESSION: 1. Fluid filled, dilated small bowel and distended large bowel, terminating in a thickened sigmoid colon, consistent with large bowel obstruction. 2. Small amount of perihepatic ascites. 3. Bilateral pleural effusions, left greater than right. 4. Unchanged left pelvic extraluminal soft tissue density with tethering of adjacent bowel loops and focal thickening, probably stricture, involving the sigmoid colon. Fluid collections and inflammatory changes have generally decreased. This appearance may be secondary to stricturing from complicated diverticular disease but malignancy is not excluded. 5. Unchanged bilateral adnexal fullness, probably associated with sequelae of inflammatory changes, which have decreased. However, evaluation with pelvic ultrasound is recommended.

OPERATORS: Dr. ___, interventional radiology fellow and Dr. ___ radiologist. Dr. ___ supervised the trainee during the key components of the procedure and reviewed and agrees with the trainee's findings. TECHNIQUE: The risks, benefits, and alternatives of the procedure were explained to the patient. After a detailed discussion, informed written consent was obtained. A pre-procedure timeout using three patient identifiers was performed per ___ protocol. The patient was placed in a supine position on the CT scan table. Limited preprocedure CT scan was performed to localize the collection and position of existing percutaneous tube. The existing tube was found to be retracted away from right renal collecting system. Based on the CT findings an appropriate skin entry site for the drain placement was chosen. The site was marked. Local anesthesia was administered with 1% Lidocaine solution. Using intermittent CT fluoroscopic guidance, an 18-G ___ needle was inserted into the abdominal wall. Once in the fat plane, sharp tip of the ___ Needle was exchanged for a blunt end tip which was advanced in the fat plane around bowel and adjacent to the right renal collection. The Needle tip was again exchanged from a blunt and Needle to a sharp and Needle and advanced into the right renal collection. A sample of fluid was aspirated, confirming needle position within the collection. 0.038 Amplatz wire was placed through the needle and needle was removed. This was followed by placement of ___ 30 cm Bard pigtail catheter into the collection. The metal stiffener and the wire were removed. The pigtail was deployed. The position of the pigtail was confirmed within the collection via CT fluoroscopy. Approximately 5 cc of purulent fluid was aspirated with a sample sent for microbiology evaluation. The catheter was secured by a StatLock. The catheter was attached to bag. Sterile dressing was applied. The procedure was tolerated well, and there were no immediate post-procedural complications. DOSE: Found no primary dose record and no dose record stored with the sibling of a split exam. !If this Fluency report was activated before the completion of the dose transmission, please reinsert the token called CT DLP Dose to load new data. SEDATION: Moderate sedation was provided by administering divided doses of 0 mg Versed and 200 mcg fentanyl throughout the total intra-service time of 80 minutes during which patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored by an independent trained radiology nurse. 1 g of Ancef was given pre-procedurally. FINDINGS: Preprocedure CT scan demonstrated existing nephrostomy tube was retracted away from the right renal collecting system. Right renal collecting system was dilated with market perinephric stranding. Intraprocedural CT scans demonstrated a small window in between 2 bowel loops. Final images demonstrate catheter in appropriate position with pigtail in right nephric collection with catheter adjacent to bowel loops but not through them. IMPRESSION: Successful CT-guided placement of an ___ 30 cm pigtail catheter into the collection. Samples were sent for microbiology evaluation. RECOMMENDATION(S): Keep drainage to bag

INDICATION: ___ year old man with HCAP, lung cancer s/p lobectomy // Please perform dyanamic CT airway to evaluate for tracheobronchomalacia TECHNIQUE: MDCT images were obtained from the thoracic inlet to the upper abdomen at end inspiration and during dynamic expiration. Dynamic expiratory phase imaging was repeated. IV Omnipaque contrast was administered. Axial images were interpreted in conjunction with sagittal and coronal reformats. DLP: 663 mGy-cm COMPARISON: Prior exams, most recent chest CT of ___. FINDINGS: AIRWAYS: The patient is status post right lower lobe lobectomy for squamous cell carcinoma. The appearance of the right lower lobe bronchial stump is stable without new soft tissue to suggest local recurrence. Dynamic expiratory phase imaging is limited by inability of the patient to perform respiration tasks required for the exam, and there is no significant collapsibility demonstrated on dynamic expiratory vs inspiratory imaging. The trachea is enlarged, measuring 3.1 cm in diameter, and has a lunate configuration, consistent with tracheomegaly. The tracheal wall is neither thickened nor calcified. Both the right and the left mainstem bronchi are also enlarged. Retained secretions are present in the lower trachea and the bronchus intermedius. The right upper lobe bronchus is widely patent. The takeoff of the right middle lobe bronchus appears narrowed, similar to ___. Bronchiectasis is severe and cystic in the right middle lobe, similar to ___, with near complete collapse of the right middle lobe. Bronchiectasis and mucous plugging in the left lower lobe has overall improved since ___. LUNGS: Ground-glass and consolidative opacities within the peripheral posterior segment of the right upper lobe is similar to ___. Peripheral irregular and nodular consolidation along the left lower lobe are also similar to ___, but have increased since ___. 9 mm spiculated left upper lobe nodular opacity (4:150) has become more confluent since ___ and is new since ___. Ill-defined but approximately 2.4 x 1.7 cm left lower lobe central peribronchovascular opacity (4:181) is new since ___ and is unlikely to represent neoplasm given short interval development. No new areas of consolidation compared to ___. Severe centrilobular and paraseptal emphysema is upper zone predominant. Increased lucency of the left lower lobe is consistent with air trapping. Small loculated right pleural effusion is slightly decreased in volume since ___, but thickening of the visceral and parietal pleura is more apparent, suggesting a complex exudative effusion. No significant left pleural effusion. No pneumothorax. SOFT TISSUES: The main pulmonary artery and remaining lobar and segmental pulmonary arteries appear well opacified without evidence of filling defect. The aorta is normal caliber. A right PICC terminates at the superior cavoatrial junction. Scattered thoracic aortic calcifications, aortic valvular calcifications, and dense coronary artery calcifications are similar to prior. The heart size is normal. No pericardial effusion. Numerous mildly enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes are similar or slightly enlarged compared to ___, including 18 x 12 mm right lower paratracheal (2:37), 11 mm subcarinal node, and 11 mm prevascular node (2:35). Prominent bilateral hilar nodes, ranging in size up to 9 mm on the left and 12 mm on the right, appear stable. Axillary and supraclavicular nodes are not pathologically enlarged. The thyroid gland is normal. The esophagus is patulous throughout its course and a small fluid-contrast level is present in the lower esophagus. Moderate-sized hiatal hernia is similar to prior. The gallbladder appears distended without wall thickening but is incompletely imaged. Cystic right renal lesion is stable. OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: No focal lytic or sclerotic lesion concerning for malignancy. Sternotomy wires are intact. Right lateral rib fractures are stable and may be post-operative. Multilevel cervical and thoracic spine degenerative changes are similar to prior. IMPRESSION: 1. Status post right lower lobe lobectomy. 2. Assessment for tracheobronchomalacia is limited due to poor voluntary ability to cooperate with inspiratory and expiratory respiratory instructions. No excessive collapsibility is observed but bronchoscopic assessment or repeat trachea CT when the patient is able to better cooperate may be considered for more complete assessment, especially given the presence of tracheobronchomegaly and lunate configuration of the trachea. 3. Multifocal ground-glass, consolidative, and nodular opacities, similar to ___ but increased since ___. Findings are most compatible with a multifocal infectious pneumonia or cryptogenic organizing pneumonia. However, given the nodular configuration of several of these opacities, close followup imaging is recommended to assess for resolution after therapy in order to exclude malignancy. 4. Intraluminal airway l secretions within the lower trachea and lower lobe bronchi. Persistent right middle lobe collapse since ___, with narrowing of the right middle lobe bronchus. 5. Small loculated right pleural fluid with adjacent mild enhancement of pleural thickening, suggesting a complex exudative effusion. 6. Mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy, minimally increased since ___. 7. Large hiatal hernia with patulous esophagus containing retained contrast and fluid distally, which may predispose the patient to aspiration. 8. Distended gallbladder without wall thickening.

DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Sequenced Acquisition 18.0 s, 18.0 cm; CTDIvol = 50.2 mGy (Head) DLP = 903.1 mGy-cm. 2) Sequenced Acquisition 19.2 s, 8.0 cm; CTDIvol = 314.2 mGy (Head) DLP = 2,513.8 mGy-cm. 3) Stationary Acquisition 5.0 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 54.5 mGy (Head) DLP = 27.2 mGy-cm. 4) Spiral Acquisition 5.2 s, 41.0 cm; CTDIvol = 31.9 mGy (Head) DLP = 1,309.0 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Head) = 4,753 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: Subsequent MR brain ___. FINDINGS: CT HEAD: Areas of hypodensity within the white matter extending to the cortical surface are seen most notably along the right occipital lobes and posterolateral high right frontal lobes. These correlate with areas of late acute to early subacute infarction as seen on subsequent MRI. There is no evidence for acute intracranial hemorrhage. No mass, mass effect, or midline shift. The basal cisterns remain patent. The ventricles and sulci are prominent compatible global parenchymal volume loss. Periventricular and subcortical white matter hypodensities are noted, a nonspecific finding that most likely represents the sequelae of chronic small vessel ischemic disease. There is mild mucosal thickening seen in scattered ethmoid air cells. The remainder of the paranasal sinuses, middle ear cavities, and mastoid air cells are clear. The orbits are grossly unremarkable bilaterally. CTA HEAD AND NECK: There is a normal 3 vessel aortic arch identified. Minimal calcifications are seen at the origin of the left V1 segment. The vertebral arteries are patent without high-grade stenosis or occlusion. The bilateral common carotid arteries are patent. Mild-to-moderate calcifications are noted involving the left carotid bulb, with minimal calcifications at the right carotid bulb. There is no evidence of internal carotid stenosis by NASCET criteria. The patient is status post vascular stent placement involving the right cavernous and paraclinoid internal carotid artery, with apparent stent patency. Peripherally calcific structure abutting the supraclinoid right ICA laterally measuring up to 8 mm (4:276) likely represents peripheral wall calcification at site of aneurysm. There is no contrast opacification within the lumen of this aneurysm. Mild-to-moderate calcifications are seen involving the left cavernous internal carotid artery. There is a probable infundibular origin to the distal basilar artery tip at the level of the bilateral posterior cerebral arteries. Allowing for this, the intracranial vasculature is grossly patent without high-grade stenosis, occlusion, or aneurysm greater than 3 mm. The dural venous sinuses are patent. CT Perfusion: The perfusion sequences technically limited secondary to suboptimal arterial inflow attenuation changes. OTHER: The lungs demonstrate moderate bilateral centrilobular emphysematous changes. No large pleural effusion or consolidation. 6 mm hypodense nodule in the right thyroid lobe is noted. There is no cervical lymphadenopathy by CT size criteria. Anterior left rib fractures appear well corticated and are likely chronic. IMPRESSION: 1. Late acute versus early subacute infarcts involving the right occipital and high right posterior frontal lobes, better characterized on subsequent MRI examination. 2. No convincing evidence for acute intracranial hemorrhage. 3. Status post placement of a right cavernous and paraclinoid ICA vascular stent, which appears patent within the limitations of CT. Adjacent peripherally calcific structure which likely represents patient's known aneurysm without visualized contrast opacification within its lumen. 4. Multifocal atherosclerotic disease throughout the intracranial and cervical vasculature, without high-grade stenosis, occlusion, or definite aneurysm. 5. Technically limited and essentially nondiagnostic CT perfusion examination.

The attending(s) personally supervised the trainee during any key components of the procedure where applicable and reviewed and agrees with the findings as reported below. ANESTHESIA: Moderate sedation was provided by administrating divided doses of 50mcg of fentanyl and 1 mg of midazolam throughout the total intra-service time of 60 minutes during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored by an independent trained radiology nurse. 1% lidocaine was injected in the skin and subcutaneous tissues overlying the access site. MEDICATIONS: As above CONTRAST: 65 ml of Optiray contrast FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 10 minutes 49 seconds, 136 mGy PROCEDURE: 1. Ultrasound-guided right common femoral artery access. 2. Arteriogram of the right common femoral artery. 3. Inferior mesenteric arteriogram. 4. Sub selective angiogram of the left colic artery. 5. Sub selective angiogram of left colic arterial branch toward area bleeding seen on same day CT. 6. Superior mesenteric arteriogram. 7. Mynx closure of right common femoral artery access. 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 prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. Using palpatory, fluoroscopic, and ultrasound guidance, the right common femoral artery was punctured using a micropuncture set at the level of the mid-femoral head. A 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 ___ 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 ___ catheter was advanced over ___ wire into the aorta. The wire was removed and the inferior mesenteric artery was selectively cannulated and a small contrast injection was made to confirm position. And STC microcatheter with a pre loaded fathom wire was advanced through the ___ catheter into the main inferior mesenteric artery. A inferior mesenteric arteriogram was performed. At that time, the microcatheter was used to sub select the left colic artery. A left colic arteriogram was performed. At that time, the microcatheter was used to sub select a distal branch of the left colic artery supplying the mid descending colon. An arteriogram was performed. At that time, the microcatheter and wire were removed. The ___ catheter was disengaged from the ___ and used to catheterize the superior mesenteric artery. A small hand injection of contrast confirmed position within the superior mesenteric artery. A formal superior mesenteric arteriogram was performed. The ___ catheter was disengaged from the superior mesenteric artery and straightened in the aorta 8 with the use of ___ wire. The catheter and wire were removed. At that time, a 5 ___ Mynx closure device was used and the right common femoral artery 5 ___ sheath was removed. Mynx occlusion device used to close arteriotomy. After successful Mynx closure device deployment, gentle manual pressure was held for approximately 5 minutes. Hemostasis was achieved. A sterile dressing was applied. 2+ pulses in the right femoral artery post procedure. The patient tolerated the procedure well and there were no immediate complications. FINDINGS: Patent ___, left colic, and SMA arteries without evidence of contrast extravasation. Sub selective interrogation of the distal left colic arterial branches supplying the mid descending colon were negative for contrast extravasation. For reporting clarification, diagnostic arteriograms were medically necessary to evaluate for anatomy, abnormal vasculature, and the presence or absence of active bleeding, pseudoaneurysms, and or arteriovenous fistula. IMPRESSION: Successful superior mesenteric and inferior mesenteric angiogram without evidence of active extravasation, pseudoaneurysm, or arteriovenous fistula.

EXAMINATION: MR of the abdomen. INDICATION: ___ year old woman with Hep C, ETOH cirrhosis p/w altered mental status concerning for HE// Triphasic to evaluate liver lesion seen on MRI TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar T1- and T2- weighted images of the abdomen were obtained on a 1.5 T magnet without intravenous contrast administration. COMPARISON: Prior MR from ___, CT from ___, and more recent ultrasound from the prior day. FINDINGS: Liver again demonstrates a cirrhotic morphology. In segment VIII of the liver there is an oval focal abnormality measuring up to 18 mm (10:12, 8:22 and 15:8). The lesion is slightly hyperintense on T1-weighted images compared to background without indication of intravoxel fat. It is minimally hypointense on T2-weighted and HASTE images and shows no restricted diffusion. Enhancement characteristics were not assessed. Along the lateral margin of the hepatic dome a very small focus of hyperintensity on T2-weighted images suggests a very small marginal cyst as seen previously, measuring up to 8 mm. The patient is status post cholecystectomy. There is no biliary dilatation. An 8 mm cyst in the pancreatic body appears unchanged although not fully assessed with this technique. Spleen is again enlarged measuring up to 14.6 cm in length. Adrenals are unremarkable. A T2-hyperintense focus in the mid right kidney of 8 mm is not fully characterized but likely to represent a simple cyst. An 18 mm simple cyst is again noted along the posterior interpolar left kidney. Small amount of ascites is present. Visualized bowel is unremarkable. No enlarged lymph nodes are found. Bone marrow signal intensities are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: Faint lesion in segment VIII of the liver suspected to correspond to the sonographic finding. It is not fully characterized, however, without administration of intravenous contrast. However, available information about signal characteristics may favor a benign lesion, although dysplastic nodule would not be excluded. Since the lesion is fairly well seen on ultrasound, it may be appropriate to consider follow-up surveillance with that modality. Multiphasic CT was not helpful previously in evaluating the lesion, but it may be appropriate to consider imaging with gadolinium if the patient is able to do a breath-hold examination in the future.

Intravenous contrast: 10 mL Gadavist. COMPARISON: Liver MRI ___, liver MRI ___, MRCP ___ Abdominal ultrasound ___ FINDINGS: Lower Thorax: Limited evaluation is unremarkable. Liver: Please note that evaluation for hepatic lesions is markedly limited due to motion. The liver is shrunken and nodular, compatible with cirrhosis. There are several foci of apparent hypoenhancement in the right hepatic lobe measuring up to 10 mm that are seen on different delayed postcontrast phases. There is no definite correlate on arterial phase or T2 weighted imaging (series 16, image 21; series 18, image 21). Note is made of a 15 mm lesion in segment VIII that is intrinsically hyperintense on T1 weighted imaging, and is a possible correlate to the prior sonographic finding (6:7). Biliary: The CBD is dilated measuring up to 16 mm, recently measuring 10 mm on ___ (02:20). Mild central intrahepatic biliary dilation. No choledocolithiasis. Post cholecystectomy. Pancreas: There is a 6 mm cystic lesion in the body of the pancreas, unchanged from ___. Spleen: Spleen is enlarged measuring up to 14.8 cm. No focal lesions are identified. Adrenal Glands: Unremarkable. Kidneys: Other than bilateral simple renal cysts, the kidneys are unremarkable. Gastrointestinal Tract: There is no bowel obstruction. Trace ascites. Lymph Nodes: No retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymphadenopathy. Vasculature: Abdominal aorta is not aneurysmal. Large portosystemic shunt is seen in the lower abdomen (02:20). Osseous and Soft Tissue Structures: No focal osseous lesions identified. Mild body wall edema. IMPRESSION: 1. Markedly limited examination due to respiratory motion. A few hypoenhancing hepatic lesions measuring up to 10 mm seen on different post-contrast phases, are indeterminate. No definite OPTN l5 esions identified, within the limitations of this exam. 2. 16 mm T1 hyperintense lesion in segment VIII is indeterminate and does not meet OPTN 5 criteria, but may correspond to the prior sonographic finding. 3. Worsening biliary dilation compared to two days prior of unknown etiology. No choledocolithiasis. 4. 6 mm cystic lesion in the pancreatic body may represent a side branch IPMN or sequela of chronic pancreatitis. RECOMMENDATION(S): The patient would benefit from multiphasic CT, as the two prior MRI examinations have been limited by difficulty with breathholding. Please identify the specific allergic reaction to iodinated contrast, as the patient may be amenable to premedication in the event of mild/moderate past reactions.
