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

Computer Vision Syndrome: Darkness under the Shadow of Light Tập 70 - Trang 5-9 - 2019
Ashish Chawla, Tze Chwan Lim, Sumer N. Shikhare, Peter L. Munk, Wilfred C.G. Peh
Radiologists typically spend long hours staring at the computer monitor. This unavoidable nature of our work can lead to detrimental effects on the eyes. Moreover, there is little awareness among radiologists with regards to such potential harm. Ocular hazards, such as computer vision syndrome, are increasingly becoming more relevant to the radiology community. In this article, we discuss...... hiện toàn bộ
Multimodality Imaging of Tumour Thrombus Tập 66 - Trang 121-129 - 2015
Saurabh Rohatgi, Stephanie A. Howard, Sree Harsha Tirumani, Nikhil H. Ramaiya, Katherine M. Krajewski
Vascular thrombosis occurs commonly in cancer patients. Once the diagnosis of thrombosis is established, it is important to characterize the nature of thrombus, tumoural versus bland, as each have a different prognosis, clinical significance, and management. This review paper discusses the imaging spectrum of tumour thrombus and its clinical significance emphasizing the role of imaging in...... hiện toàn bộ
Magnetic Resonance Imaging Features of Cervical Spine Intraspinal Extradural Synovial Cysts Tập 70 - Trang 403-407 - 2019
Davina Mak, Alessandro Vidoni, Steven James, Munchi Choksey, David Beale, Rajesh Botchu
Spinal synovial cysts are relatively uncommon and are most frequently found in the lumbar spine and rarely in the cervical spine. Intraspinal extradural cervical synovial cysts can occur and potentially cause cord/nerve root compression with symptoms of myelopathy/radiculopathy; however, most are asymptomatic and incidental findings. We conducted a literature review and present, to our kn...... hiện toàn bộ
Thoracic Computed Tomographic Manifestations of Tuberous Sclerosis in Adults Tập 63 - Trang 61-68 - 2012
Amr M. Ajlan, Ana Maria Bilawich, Nestor L. Müller
The purpose of this article is to illustrate the various manifestations that can be encountered on thoracic computed tomography of tuberous sclerosis in adults. The pulmonary findings include lymphangioleiomyomatosis and multifocal micronodular pneumocyte hyperplasia. The extrapulmonary manifestations are divided into cardiac, vascular, mediastinal, osseous, and upper abdominal findings. ...
