Niranjan Vijayakanthan, Kavita Dhamanaskar, Lori Stewart, Jodie Connolly, Brian Leber, Irwin Walker, Michael Trus
Purpose Pneumatosis intestinalis is a radiologic diagnosis that manifests in a variety of clinical settings. We report 4 cases of pneumatosis intestinalis in patients undergoing cancer treatments that included cytotoxic agents and/or tyrosine kinase inhibitors. These reports aim to provide insight into the clinical interpretation and pathogenesis of pneum...... hiện toàn bộ
Imaging Findings in Elder Abuse: A Role for Radiologists in Detection Tập 68 - Trang 16-20 - 2017

Purpose Emergency department assessment represents a critical but often missed opportunity to identify elder abuse, which is common and has serious consequences. Among emergency care providers, diagnostic radiologists are optimally positioned to raise suspicion for mistreatment when reviewing imaging of geriatric injury victims. However, little literature...... 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
