Safety Essentials: Acute Reactions to Iodinated Contrast Media Tập 64 Số 3 - Trang 193-199 - 2013
Ramesh S. Iyer, Jennifer G. Schopp, Jonathan O. Swanson, Mahesh Thapa, Grace S. Phillips
The objectives of this article are to review the diagnosis and management of acute nonrenal reactions to iodinated contrast media. We will begin by discussing the types of contrast media and their correlative rates of reaction. The mechanism of contrast reactions, predisposing risk factors, and preventative measures will then be discussed. The remainder of the article will review the asse...... hiện toàn bộ
Early Radiographic and Tomographic Manifestations of Legionnaires' Disease Tập 68 Số 3 - Trang 328-333 - 2017
R. Poirier, Jean‐Paul Rodrigue, Jasmin Villeneuve, Yves Lacasse
PurposeLegionnaires' disease (LD) may occur sporadically or in the course of outbreaks, where the typical radiological manifestations of the disease may better be delineated. We took advantage of a rare community-based epidemic of LD (181 patients) that occurred in 2012 in Quebec City, Canada, to describe the radiographic features of LD and compare the it...... hiện toàn bộ
Radiology Interest Groups: A Recipe for Success Tập 72 Số 3 - Trang 343-351 - 2021
Jessica L. Dobson, Andrew Fenwick, Victoria Linehan, Angus Hartery
Objectives: Radiology Interest Groups (RIGs) are valuable for medical students and the radiology profession. The purpose of this study is to identify key components of a successful RIG and to discuss how to optimize available resources to increase student engagement in radiology. Methods: Anon...... hiện toàn bộ
Breast Cancer Close to the Nipple: Does This Increase the Risk of Nodal Metastasis at Diagnosis? Tập 62 - Trang 209-214 - 2011
Erin I. Lewis, Al Ozonoff, Cheri P. Nguyen, Michael Kim, Priscilla J. Slanetz
Background Previous studies of patients with invasive breast cancer examined, with mixed results, tumour location as a predictor of axillary lymph node metastasis. This study assessed whether tumour location in relation to the nipple impacts the presence of axillary lymph node metastasis at the time of diagnosis. ...... hiện toàn bộ
The Use of Dynamic Computed Tomographic Angiography Ancillary to the Diagnosis of Brain Death Tập 64 - Trang 253-257 - 2013
Santanu Chakraborty, Stephanie A. Kenny, Reem A. Adas
Objective Global absence of cerebral circulation is an important ancillary test for brain death when the diagnosis cannot be confirmed clinically. A number of imaging methods are available to assess cerebral circulation; however, new techniques are sought to improve on limitations of the current tests. Dynamic computed tomographic angiography (dCTA) is a ...... hiện toàn bộ
Clinical Outcomes of Mammographic BI-RADS 3 Lesions in the Community Hospital Setting Tập 67 - Trang 313-317 - 2016
Paul Friedman, Lauren Kerwin, Jean Chung
Objectives Per the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) manual, a lesion designated as BI-RADS 3 should have less than a 2% chance of becoming malignancy. With this study, we evaluated the outcome of patients given a BI-RADS 3 designation in the community hospital. Specifically, whether our cancer detection rate for BI-RADS 3 lesions was les...... hiện toàn bộ
Cone-Beam Computed Tomography as an Adjunct to Performance of Percutaneous Cementoplasty of the Acetabulum Tập 63 - Trang S7-S10 - 2012
Peter L. Munk, Manraj K. Heran, David M. Liu, Hugue A. Ouellette, Paul W. Clarkson
Acetabuloplasty is a valuable palliative adjunct for the treatment of patients with painful metastatic disease to the pelvis in selected cases. We report the case of a 45-year-old woman with morbid obesity and with breast carcinoma who was technically difficult to treat under fluoroscopic guidance due to very poor visualization secondary to her body habitus. It was possible to perform rad...... hiện toàn bộ
Computed Tomography Imaging of the Acute Pelvis in Females Tập 64 - Trang 108-118 - 2013
Douglas S. Katz, Maria Khalid, Esther E. Coronel, Joseph P. Mazzie
Sonography is the primary imaging modality for the evaluation of pelvic pain in female patients, especially if gynaecological pathology is suspected. However, computed tomography (CT) is frequently used in patients who present to emergency departments (and elsewhere) with otherwise nonspecific abdominal and pelvic pain and may be the first imaging modality to demonstrate an acute gynaecolo...... hiện toàn bộ
