___ Complaint:
dyspnea, cough
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
none
History of Present Illness:
___ h/o CAD s/p CABG s/p posterior MI with ischemic CM EF ___
with resultant VT with multiple syncopal episodes resulting in
ICD implantion in ___, asthma, OSA, hyperlipidemia presenting
for persistent cough for nearly 2 weeks and increasing dyspnea
over the last 2 days. He also experienced 3 episodes of distinct
lightheadedness over the previous 24hrs which he says felt
similar to prev episodes of VT. He denies any CP or feeling
palpitations at the time. Denies PND/ orthopnea, worsening DOE.
Denies NV, diaphoresis w/ these episodes.
Pt was recently admitted ___ after being admitted for an
asthma exacerbation complicated by several runs of VT. Prior to
admission, he had been using his albuterol inhaler up to ___
puffs 5 to 6 times within a few hours. During this time, he
experienced several episodes of lightheadedness (his sensation
of VT, doesn't get palpitations) and received a ICD shock. PPM
interrogation then confirmed episode of VT that broke with
single shock at that time. He had 2 other prior episodes of ___
seconds that broke spontaneously and pace terminated. He
received PO steroids, as well as antibiotics for mild
diverticulitis flair and was subsequently discharged ___. Pt
reports he has since completed antibiotic course for
diverticulitis, though d/s summary states that abx should be
through ___.
He returned to the ED again yesterday for lightheadedness and
concern for VT. In the ED, initial vs were: 97.7 72 128/76 32
95%. Interrogation in ED that time noted single episode of 15
beat VT, no ICD firing. He received solumedrol and Vanc/levaquin
for possible RLL infiltrate on CXR. He was admitted to medicine
initially for management of pneumonia, being transfered to
Cardiology for management of VT.
On the floor, pt reported feeling back to baseline since getting
lasix IV. He states this his cardiologist has been trying to get
him to increase his metoprolol dose for sometime now, but he has
been resistant as he feels it makes his breathing worse.

Radiology Report
INDICATION: Recent spine surgery with fever. Evaluate for pneumonia.
TECHNIQUE: A single AP supine view of the chest was obtained.
COMPARISON: Chest radiograph from ___.
FINDINGS:
Posterior spinal fusion hardware is suboptimally imaged on this limited
frontal radiograph. Please see the CT report for further description of the
hardware. A halo brace is present, limiting evaluation of the upper lobes.
Within the limitations, the lungs are clear without evidence of a
consolidation. There is no pulmonary edema, pleural effusion, or pneumothorax.
The cardiomediastinal silhouette is normal.
IMPRESSION:
No acute cardiopulmonary process.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: DX THORACIC AND LUMBAR SPINES
INDICATION: Status post thoracic spine fusion with increased swelling and
fevers. Evaluate hardware.
TECHNIQUE: AP and cross-table lateral views of the thoracic and lumbar spine
were obtained with a total of 5 exposures.
COMPARISON: Thoracic spine radiographs from ___ and ___. Note, these radiographs are read in conjunction with a CT of the
thoracic spine which was obtained immediately after these radiographs.
FINDINGS:
The most superior aspect of the thoracic spine hardware appears to be
positioned more posteriorly than on the intraoperative radiographs from ___. This may represent hardware migration. The mid and distal
portions of the thoracic spinal hardware appear to be unchanged. These are
better evaluated on the recent CT. The lumbar spinal fusion appears stable
without evidence of a hardware complication. There is evidence of osseous
fusion of the lumbar vertebral bodies. There is no significant residual
scoliosis. No acute fracture is identified.
The imaged portions of the lungs are clear. The cardiac silhouette is normal
in size. The bowel gas pattern is nonobstructive. No free intraperitoneal air
is identified.
IMPRESSION:
The most superior aspect of the thoracic spinal fusion hardware appears to be
positioned more posteriorly than on in the intraoperative radiographs,
potentially due to hardware migration. Please see the thoracic CT report for
more details.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT T-SPINE W/O CONTRAST
INDICATION: 6 ___ female with history of scoliosis status post op day
9 after thoracic spine instrumentation revision, now with increased swelling
to upper thoracic spine. Assess for new fracture, infection, or hardware
migration.
TECHNIQUE: Aaxial, helical, MDCT images were acquired through the lumbar
spine without the administration of intravenous contrast. Coronal, sagittal,
and bone algorithm thin section reformatted images were generated.
DOSE: CTDIvol: 48.76 mGy
DLP: ___ mGy-cm
COMPARISON: T-spine radiographs ___. CT thoracic spine ___.
FINDINGS:
Please note study is substantially limited due to patient positioning, beam
hardening artifact, and lack of intravenous contrast.
For the purposes of numbering, the highest rib-bearing vertebral body was
designate the T1 level. Please note that this method is inappropriate for
surgical planning and that prior to any intervention appropriate levels must
be established.
Patient is status post fusion of T1 through 11 with postoperative changes
involving the entire thoracic spine with bilateral posterior fixation rods and
hooks, posterior mid line staples, and bone graft material. There is mild
levoscoliosis with apex at T9. Multiple posterior laminectomies are again
noted most prominent at T1. Significant soft tissue swelling and stranding is
seen throughout the course of the posterior spinal fusion, most prominent
along the upper thoracic spine from T1 through T4. At T1 through T4 posterior
spinal rods and hooks are within bone graft material approximately 1.5-2cm cm
posterior to the level of the lamina.
Subcutaneous emphysema is seen throughout the surgical site most prominent at
C7 the T1. At the level of T1-T2 bony changes are post laminectomy given clean
margins and absence of cortical irregularity. No locules of air within the
central canal. Given absence of IV contrast and beam hardening artifact from
hardware limited evaluation for fluid collection.
The prevertebral and soft tissues are within normal limits. Evidence of
chronic healed fracture along posterior right twelfth rib. A small right
pleural effusion is stable. Again seen is probable mild left hydronephrosis,
only partially imaged. There is of an enlarged approximately 12 mm mesenteric
lymph node (see series 2 image 132). Allowing for difference in technique,
this structure is also noted on the ___ prior CT thoracic spine
study (series 2a image 107).
Partially visualized liver demonstrates an approximately 8 mm left hepatic
lobe hypoattenuating structure that is obscured by streak artifact (see series
3, image 130).
IMPRESSION:
1. Limited evaluation due to patient positioning, absence of IV contrast and
beam hardening artifact.
2. Subcutaneous emphysema at T1-2 is nonspecific, and may be postsurgical in
nature. However emphysematous changes secondary to infection cannot be
excluded on the basis of this examination. Recommend clinical correlation.
3. Within limits of examination, no definite CT evidence of osteomyelitis or
discitis identified in thoracic spine. If additional evaluation is warranted a
contrast enhanced study may be helpful, however this will be limited in
evaluation due to beam hardening artifact.
4. At T1 through T4 posterior spinal rods and hooks are suggested to being
within bone graft material approximately 1.5 -2 cm posterior to the lamina.
Recommend clinical correlation and correlation with surgical history for
evaluation of hardware orientation.
5. Probable mild left hydronephrosis, partially imaged.
6. Stable small right pleural effusion.
7. Approximately 12 mm mesenteric lymph node as described. Recommend clinical
correlation.
8. Limited evaluation of the liver suggests at least one 8 mm hypoattenuating
area that is nonspecific. Recommend clinical correlation. If clinically
indicated, further evaluation may be obtained via dedicated hepatic imaging.
NOTIFICATION: Findings and recommendation discussed by Dr. ___ with Dr.
___ at 17:45 on ___.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: Hardware removal.
TECHNIQUE: 2 intraoperative frontal projection of the thoracic spine were
obtained without the radiologist present.
COMPARISON: Radiographs of the thoracic spine ___.
FINDINGS:
There has been interval removal of paraspinal rods from the thoracic spine.
The paraspinal rods extending from the inferior thoracic spine into the lumbar
spine remain in place. A skin staple line projects over the mid thorax. The
distal tip of an endotracheal tube projects above the carina. Visualized
portions of the lungs are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
Status post thoracic spine hardware removal. Please see the operative report
for further details.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: SCOLIOSIS SERIES
INDICATION: ___ year old woman s/p removal of instrumentation thoracic spine
after loss of fixation and possible infection. // evaluation of kyphosis and
spinal alignment. Please have patient stand with CTLSO on.
TECHNIQUE: AP and lateral views of spine.
COMPARISON: ___.
FINDINGS:
Levoconvex scoliosis in the thoracic spine is noted. There is been removal of
thoracic spine posterior hardware since previous radiograph. Posterior fusion
hardware from lower thoracic spine through S1 remains in-situ. There is
multilevel mature osseous fusion of vertebral bodies in the lumbar spine
There are degenerative changes in the thoracic spine, with some mild loss of
vertical height anteriorly at several levels appearing similar to prior study.
There is degenerative change in the cervical spine, and there is grade 2
anterolisthesis of C4 with respect to C5. There is also grade 1
anterolisthesis of C5 with respect to C4. This was difficult to assess on the
most recent exam, excluded from the field of view, but appears similar to
previous radiograph on ___. MRI cervical spine has also been
previously performed on ___, with these alignment changes visible,
and there is also mild retrolisthesis of C2 with respect to C3 which appears
similar the current radiograph.
Heterogeneous density of the right iliac bone may reflect previous graft
harvest site. Mild bilateral hip joint degenerative change.
IMPRESSION:
Degenerative changes, scoliosis, alignment abnormalities as detailed above.
Interval removal of thoracic hardware. No evidence of complication of
remaining hardware.

There is a new left-sided central venous catheter with the distal lead tip in
the distal SVC. Visualized lung fields are grossly clear. There is moderate
thoracolumbar scoliosis with convexity to the left side centered at T7 and to
the right side centered at T12. There is minimal anterior wedging of several
mid to lower thoracic vertebral bodies causing thoracic kyphosis, unchanged.
There is again seen posterior fixation hardware from T11 down to S1 with
metallic disc prostheses at L4-L5 and L5-S1. Overall, these findings appear
unchanged from the previous.

lower extremity to assess vascular flow.
COMPARISON: Left tib-fib radiographs, ___.
TECHNIQUE: Standard departmental protocol CTA of the aortic bifurcation and
bilateral lower extremity runoff was performed with intravenous contrast
administration. Non-contrast, initial CT of the aortic bifurcation and lower
extremities was also performed. Coronal and sagittal reformats as well as 3D
reformats were obtained.
TOTAL EXAM DOSE LENGTH PRODUCT: 2960.78 mGy-cm.
FINDINGS: Visualized small and large bowel and appendix appear unremarkable.
Normal-appearing urinary bladder. Coarse prostatic calcifications. No
evidence of pelvic free fluid. No evidence of lymphadenopathy. Normal
appearance of the aortic bifurcation. Minimal calcific atherosclerosis with
normal caliber of the bilateral common iliac arteries.
LEFT: Normal course and caliber, left external iliac artery. Minimal
calcific plaque at the proximal portion of the left internal iliac artery,
without significant stenosis. Normal course and caliber, left common femoral
artery as well as the profunda femoris artery. Normal course and caliber,
left superficial femoral artery and popliteal artery. Minimal calcific plaque
at the popliteal artery at the level of the takeoff of the anterior tibial
artery, without significant stenosis. Minimal calcific plaque of the
tibioperoneal trunk bifurcation, without significant stenosis. Mild calcific
plaque at the proximal portions of the left posterior tibial artery with
perhaps mild stenosis. There is normal three-vessel runoff into the distal
left leg and left foot.
Again seen is a comminuted, mildly-displaced diagonal fracture of the left
distal tibia and fibula, with external fixators in place. The distal fibular
fracture line appears to extend into the ankle mortise. No evidence of ankle
mortise widening. The talar dome and remaining bones of the foot appear
intact. Significant subcutaneous soft tissue stranding is seen in the left
lower leg associated with the open fracture. A large soft tissue defect is
seen in the medial aspect of the left lower leg.
RIGHT: Normal course and caliber right common iliac and right external iliac
artery. Minimal calcific plaque at the origin of the right internal iliac
artery, without significant stenosis. Normal course and caliber right common
femoral artery and bifurcation. Normal course and caliber of right
superficial femoral artery and popliteal artery. Moderate calcific plaque at
the tibioperoneal trunk, causing mild stenosis. Otherwise, normal
three-vessel runoff of the right lower extremity into the distal right leg and
right foot.
IMPRESSION:
1. Minimal calcific atherosclerosis without evidence of significant stenosis.
Patent bilateral inflow and outflow vessels with normal bilateral lower
extremity runoffs.
2. Again seen is complicated and comminuted displaced open fracture of the
left distal fibula and tibia. The distal fibular fracture appears to extend
into the ankle mortise. Partially visualized bones of the foot appear intact.

material. A total of 110 mL of Omnipaque were utilized. Images were
processed on a separate workstation with display of mean transit time,
relative cerebral blood volume, and cerebral blood flow maps for the CT
perfusion study and curved reformats, 3D volume rendered images, and maximum
intensity projection images for the CTA.
FINDINGS:
Head CT: the ventricles, sulci, subarachnoid spaces are normal in size and
configuration. There is no evidence of hemorrhage or acute vascular
territorial infarct. There is a prominent left occipital arachnoid
granulation involving the left transverse sinus. There is no mass lesion.
There is no shift of the midline structures. The orbits, paranasal sinuses,
and mastoids are unremarkable.
CT perfusion: There is no evidence of a perfusion defect. The mean transit
time, cerebral blood volume, and cerebral blood flow are within normal limits.
Head CTA: The vertebral and basilar arteries are normal in appearance with a
normal branching pattern. There is no evidence of significant stenosis,
occlusion, dissection, or aneurysm.
The intracranial internal carotid arteries and the anterior, middle, and
posterior cerebral arteries are normal in appearance without evidence of
significant stenosis, occlusion, dissection, or aneurysm.
There is no vascular malformation.
Neck CTA: The right common, internal, and external carotid arteries are normal
in appearance without evidence of a hemodynamically significant stenosis,
dissection, or occlusion. The distal right internal carotid artery measures
4.6 mm.
The left common, internal, and external carotid arteries are normal in
appearance without evidence of hemodynamically significant stenosis,
dissection, or occlusion. The distal left internal carotid artery measures
4.4 mm.
The bilateral vertebral arteries are normal in appearance without evidence of
dissection, stenosis, or occlusion. The left vertebral artery is dominant, a
normal variant.
The aortic arch and the origins of the great vessels are unremarkable.
There are scattered bilateral prominent cervical lymph nodes at all levels,
largest at levels 2 date bilaterally measuring up to 12 mm. These are likely
reactive. The thyroid is normal. The lung apices are clear. The thymus is
prominent, likely normal for age. There is no suspicious bony lesion or
significant osseous abnormality.
IMPRESSION:
1. No acute intracranial abnormality, with no evidence of infarct or
hemorrhage. No CT perfusion abnormality to suggest ischemia or infarct.
2. Unremarkable CTA of the head and neck.
3. Bilateral enlarged cervical lymph nodes, which may be reactive.
Radiology Report
CHEST RADIOGRAPH
HISTORY: Hypoxia.
COMPARISONS: None.

COMPARISON: CTA ___.
TECHNIQUE: MRI of the brain without contrast.
FINDINGS: There is slow diffusion in the left caudate head and putamen. This
is in the distribution of the lenticulostriate arteries. This area also has
increased signal on T2 and FLAIR images. There is also a small area of T2 and
FLAIR hyperintensity in the right periventricular region (3, 16) that does not
demonstrate slow diffusion. No other areas of abnormal diffusion are
identified. There is no evidence of mass or mass effect. Flow voids are
grossly maintained. The orbits and globes are normal. Again seen are
enlarged lymph nodes in the left neck. Visualized paranasal sinuses and
mastoid air cells are well aerated.

Chief Complaint:
Lower Back Pain, Fever, Somnolence
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None
History of Present Illness:
___ with a PMH of RA, Nephrotic syndrome c/b renal vein
thrombosis on warfarin and hypertension who presented yesterday
to the ED with low back pain after being unable to get up. She
had several years of low back pain escalating over the past few
weeks (midline over left gluteal, worst with ambulation,
multiple recent falls, worsening difficulty standing) but has no
leg weakness or numbness (but legs give out several times over
past few weeks), has chronic urinary incontinence (unable to
reach bathroom in time for 1 month, nocturia multiple times per
night), but has no urinary retention or fecal
incontinence/retention, and she was febrile at triage.
___ evening after observation in the ED, she was found to be
unresponsive after spiking a temperature of 102.8. FSBG 157 and
pCO2 was 48 on VBG. CT Head negative for bleed. She was seen on
telemetry to have ST elevations, and this was confirmed on ECG
with diffuse ST elevations. She was unable to provide any
history to either me or the ED staff and was started on broad
spectrum antibiotics for concern for meningitis (no LP due to
elevated INR).
In ED she was given Alprazolam 0.5mg, Prednisone 60mg, many
albuterol-ipratropium nebs, ceftriaxone 2gm, vancomycin 1g,
acyclovir 450mg, and 1L NS as well as her home medications.
Lab workup in the ED significant for a CK of 214, MB 3, Trop
neg. Also pertinent were CRP of 78.3, creatinine 0.8->1.8, INR
2.9, lactate 1.7 and urine with 600 protein and no blood. CT
head - No acute intracranial process. MRI Spine showed large
C4-5 disc protrusion and moderate C3-4 disc protrusion with
moderate to severe spinal canal narrowing and contact on the
spinal cord; no evidence of epidural abscess but patient was
unable to tolerate exam.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION:
CT head without contrast.
INDICATION: Altered mental status, fatigue and on Coumadin. Evaluate for
intracranial hemorrhage.
TECHNIQUE: Routine unenhanced head CT was performed and viewed in brain,
intermediate and bone windows. Coronal and sagittal reformats were also
performed.
DOSE: DLP: 1226.40 mGy-cm; CTDI: 165.55 mGy
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
There is no acute hemorrhage, edema or shift of the normally midline
structures. Slight prominence of the ventricles, out of proportion to the
sulci may relate to centrally predominant involutional changes. Scattered
periventricular white matter hypodensities, while nonspecific, are presumably
the sequela from chronic small vessel ischemic disease. Otherwise, the
gray-white matter differentiation is preserved and there is no evidence for a
large acute vascular territorial infarction. Vascular calcifications are seen
within the carotid siphons.
The included paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are well-aerated. There
is no fracture. The included lenses and globes are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
No acute intracranial process.

level of acuity: 3.0 | Dear Ms. ___,
You were admitted to the hospital because you had sudden onset
lower back pain and weakness and your primary care physician
asked you to go to the Emergency Department. While in the
hospital you had a fever and developed confusion. All causes of
infection were ruled out and your mental status improved. It is
possible that you had a condition that causes inflammation of
the surrounding layer of the heart called "pericarditis." You
were without symptoms for this however and we did not treat you.
For your back pain and weakness it will be important for you to
continue with physical therapy and to follow up in clinic with
your appointments below.
We held your lasix on discharge because you were dehydrated. It
is very important that you weigh yourself every morning and call
your doctor if your weight goes up more than 3 lbs. If you start
to notice that you are gaining weight and your legs are getting
swollen, then you should restart your lasix (furosemide).
It is very important that you have your labs drawn at Dr. ___

COMPARISON: ___ is made to the prior radiographs from ___
FINDINGS:
The patient was scanned with the elbow at 90 degree flexion and adjacent to
the body which limits evaluation.
There remains dislocation at the ulnar trochlear articulation. The ulna is
dislocated posterior and laterally in relation to the trochlea. There is a
fracture of the coronoid process with the coronoid process fragments displaced
superiorly into the volar aspect of the elbow joint near the coronoid fossa,
best seen on series 306, image 60.
There is subluxation of the radial head posteriorly and widening of the
lateral radiocapitellar joint space, best seen on series 305, image 53.
Comminuted fracture of the lateral epicondyle is also seen, series 305, image
48. Evaluation for ligamentous injury is difficult; however, there is
prominent soft tissue swelling throughout the elbow.
IMPRESSION:
1. Fractures of the lateral epicondyle and coronoid process as described
above.
2. There is dislocation of the proximal ulna posteriorly and laterally in
relation to the trochlea.
3. Abnormal subluxation at the radiocapitellar articulation.

treated as an outpatient p/w functional decline over the last 4
months.
Per patient report as well as available OMR records, 4 months
prior to her current admission the patient developed a dental
infection and subsequently had her chronic prednisone (had been
on for pemphigus) stopped by her PCP. The patient subsequently
developed weakness and fatigue. One month prior to this
admission, she was seen by her PCP who felt she may have adrenal
insufficiency and restarted her on prednisone/fludrocortisone.
Her symptoms initially improved and then worsened. The patient
subsequently developed severe hypokalemia and was started on
potassium supplementation. Five days prior to admission, the
patient was seen in ___ ED with the above complaints. She was
diagnosed with PNA and discharged home on levofloxacin. Per
report, the patient did not experience any improvement and
remained with poor PO intake and weakness.
The patient's nephew reports she has been urinating and stooling
in Tupperware and bags at home. She has not been eating and
sleeps very few hours per night. The family also reports a 25 lb
weight loss in the last month.

mGy-cm.
Total DLP (Body) = 853 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
There are 5 non rib bearing lumbar vertebral bodies. Note is made of partial
sacralization of the L5 vertebral body. Streak artifact from spinal fusion
hardware limits assessment of the lower lumbar spine. Given this limitation,
there is no acute fracture. Patient is status post laminectomies at L3
through L5 with posterior spinal fusion. Interbody spacers are seen from
L2-L3 through L4 -L5. Overall fusion hardware appears intact without definite
evidence of failure or loosening. Note is made of that the left L5 pedicle
screw appears to extrude beyond the vertebral body by approximately 11 mm
(2:70).
Severe degenerative changes are seen throughout the lumbar spine. There is
mild retrolisthesis of L1 on L2. There is a disc bulge at L1/L2 causing
severe spinal canal stenosis as well as moderate bilateral neural foraminal
narrowing. Remaining intrathecal detail is limited due to streak artifact
from the hardware.
Evaluation of the soft tissues is remarkable for moderate atherosclerotic
calcifications. Bilateral punctate renal stones are noted with mild fullness
of the right renal collecting system.
IMPRESSION:

FOCUSED STUDY/LIMITED VIEWS: Overall left ventricular systolic
function is normal (LVEF>55%). Right ventricular chamber size
and free wall motion are normal. A bioprosthetic aortic valve
prosthesis is present. The aortic valve prosthesis appears well
seated, with normal leaflet/disc motion and transvalvular
gradients. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened.
Physiologic mitral regurgitation is seen (within normal limits).
There is a large pericardial effusion. The effusion appears
circumferential. It is smallest in the subcostal views anterior
to the RV (0.5cm) and largest in the apical views (up to 3cm)
and posterior to the heart (2.6cm). No right ventricular
diastolic collapse is seen. There is significant, accentuated
respiratory variation in mitral/tricuspid valve inflows,
consistent with impaired ventricular filling.

Past Medical History:
ONCOLOGIC HISTORY: A ___ male here for reason as stated
above.
--In ___, he noticed painless hematuria. Given his
history of prior UTIs, he was given Cipro treated for a course.
In about a month later, the hematuria recurred.
--He was then referred to urologist who ordered a CT urogram
sometime in early late ___ or early ___, which revealed a
right
bladder wall mass. He underwent a cystoscopy initially on ___ at ___, where he underwent TURBT; however, the
procedure was technically difficult due to the floppy nature of

History of Present Illness:
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: ___ yo M w/ hx of COPD, PNA this
year, moderately severe dementia, afib, CKD, HTN who presents
with respiratory distress. Son reports pt was watching TV when
he started choking and gagging with gurgling sounds. The pt was
respondent during this time, engaging with his son. No LOC.
Family denies fall.
In the ED, initial vitals: T98.3 HR 105 BP 150/56 RR 25 100% on
BIPAP. He had a chest x-ray which showed "Patchy opacities in
the lung bases may reflect aspiration or infection. Mild
pulmonary vascular congestion", concerning for PNA. Given 4.5 g
zosyn, 1gm vanc, 125 methylpred, 1L NS. He was intubated using
20 mg etomidate and 100 mg succinylcholine. He was placed on
fentanyl and midalozam drips for sedation. After intubation, he
was given an additional 1L NS for hypotension ___, after
which his pressure improved to 103/62.
In At___ careweb, there is a note from today, in which his PCP
detailed ___ family meeting with pt's son ___ (caregiver),
daughter ___ (HCP), and grandson ___ (alternate HCP &
caregiver). The ultimate result was a signed MOLST and a
conclusion that he "...does not CPR, intubation and ventilation,
dialysis, artificial hydration, and artificial nutrition. He
would prefer to have all of his care at home or in outpatient
setting rather than go to hospital, unless required for
comfort." Despite this note, in ED, family was present and
expressed some misunderstandings regarding the DNR/DNI status.
They reportedly felt it was for chronic issues of progressing
dementia rather than acute issues and expressed desire for
intubation with valid HCP form present.
On transfer, vitals were: T99.6 HR67 BP 103/67 RR18, 100%
intubated
On arrival to the MICU, pt was comfortably sedated, and family
was available. Family verified that there was confusion
regarding the MOLST/DNR/DNI issues. They felt pt has a
satisfactory baseline function, being AAOx2, engaged, fairly
independent and they feel pt would want to be intubated if he
were to have a quick recovery. They state he would not want to
be intubated for a prolonged period.

You were admitted to the ___ because of problems breathing.
Based on your history and imaging, we think you may have
aspirated, or choked, leading to an infection of your lungs.
You were started on IV antibiotics and assessed by our speech
and swallow pathologists. They felt you were having significant
problems swallowing. You should continue to be very careful
when you eat because you are at risk for aspirating which can
lead to pneumonia and even death. You are now on a modified diet
for your safety.
You were also noted to have an old bleed on the CT scan of your
head. Most of this was old, although there were some signs of a
new bleed. Please be careful on your feet, as every fall may
put you at risk for worsening bleed. You should call your
doctor immediately if you have any worsening weakness or other
concerning symptoms.
Finally, you were also noted to have decreased heart function.
Please call your doctor if you have chest pain, gain >3lb or
notice worsening swelling of your legs.

6. Placement of a 10 mm x 6 cm x 2 cm Viatorr covered stent.
7. Post-stenting balloon angioplasty of the TIPS shunt with a 10 mm balloon.
8. Post-stenting portal venogram.
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. The neck and abdomen were prepped and draped in the usual sterile
fashion.
Under continuous ultrasound guidance ___ needle/catheter was advanced into
the right pleural fluid. The ___ catheter was attached to a vacuum container
for drainage.
Under continuous ultrasound guidance, the patent right internal jugular vein
was compressible and accessed using a micropuncture needle. Images of
ultrasound access were stored on PACS. Subsequently a Nitinol wire was passed
into the right atrium using fluoroscopic guidance. A small incision was made
at the needle entry site. The needle was exchanged for a micropuncture sheath.
The Nitinol wire was removed and a ___ wire was advanced distally into
the IVC.
The micropuncture sheath was then removed and a 10 ___ sheath was advanced
over the wire into the right atrium. Right atrial pressure measurements were
then obtained measuring at 12 mm Hg. An Amplatz wire was advanced in the
sheath next to the ___ wire and passed into the IVC for stability. Using a
MPA catheter and a Glidewire, access was obtained in the right hepatic vein.
Appropriate position was confirmed with contrast injection and fluoroscopy in
AP and lateral views. Then an occlusion balloon was advanced over the wire
into the distal right hepatic vein. The wire was then removed and the balloon
was inflated. A CO2 portal venogram was performed in the AP projection.
Following procedural planning, the occlusion balloon was removed over an
Amplatz wire and the angled sheath was advanced through the 10 ___ sheath.
Once the sheath was placed in an appropriate position, the cannula device was
inserted over the Amplatz wire and the wire was exchanged for ___
needle. The angled sheath was turned anteriorly. The needle was then advanced
through liver parenchyma and the needle was withdrawn over its sheath. The
sheath was withdrawn while gentle suction was applied. Upon blood return, a
Glidewire was introduced into the catheter to pass into the portal vein. The
sheath was advanced into the main portal vein which was confirmed with a
contrast injection and a stiff Glidewire was advanced into the superior
mesenteric vein. The 10 ___ sheath was advanced over the inner cannula and
stiff Glidewire into the main portal vein. Next portal venous pressure
measurements were obtained.
An Amplatz wire was advanced through the sheath into the superior mesenteric
vein. A 5 ___ marker omni flush catheter was then advanced and a contrast
enhanced portal venogram was performed. The catheter was removed and a 10 mm
x 6 cm x 2 cm Viatorr covered stent was advanced into appropriate position and
deployed. Following stent deployment, the stent was dilated using a 10 mm
balloon.
The straight flush catheter was advanced over the wire into the splenic vein
and the wire was removed. Repeat right atrial and portal venous pressure
measurements were performed. Splenic venogram demonstrated varices arising
from the coronary vein and posterior gastric vein. While a glidewire was
successfully advanced into the coronary vein varix, multiple attempts to track
a catheter (MPA or Omni) were unsuccessful. Attempts to advance a stiffer
wire (Amplatz or stiff Glidewire) into the varix were unsuccessful
catheterization.
The sheath was then removed from the right internal jugular vein site and
pressure held for 10 minutes to achieve hemostasis. Sterile dressings were
applied.
4 L of fluid was drained from the right pleural space throughout the
procedure. Blood tinged fluid was noted at the end of the procedure.
The patient tolerated the procedure well. There were no immediate
post-procedure complications. The patient was transferred to the PACU in
stable condition.
FINDINGS:

position of a right portal vein branch for TIPS creation.
3. Contrast enhanced portal venogram showing a patent portal vein.
4. Post-TIPS portal venogram showing brisk antegrade flow through the TIPS and
small varices arising off of the coronary and posterior gastric vein.
5. Post-TIPS right atrial pressure of 28 mm Hg and portal pressure of 34 mm Hg
resulting in portosystemic gradient of 6 mmHg.
6. Attempted catheterization of varices was unsuccessful and abandoned as the
indication for TIPS placement was refractory hepatic hydrothorax. Patient
will be assessed at clinical follow-up for need for further need for variceal
embolization/obliteration.
7. 4 liters of pleural fluid removed through right thoracentesis drain with
blood-tinged fluid noted at the end of the procedure. A 1 hour postprocedure
chest x-ray was ordered and in H&H was sent for analysis.

WHY WAS I ADMITTED?
-You were admitted for shortness of breath and chest pain due to
accumulation of fluid around your lungs.
WHAT WAS DONE FOR ME WHILE I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL?
-Your shortness of breath and chest pain was due to the fluid
that accumulated around your lungs which is a complication of
your liver disease.
-Our colleagues in interventional pulmonology placed a tube in
your chest to drain the fluid around your lungs which resulted
in improvement of your breathing. They removed the tube once
your breathing improved.
-Your kidney function was worse than normal for you when you
were admitted. We gave you a medication called albumin and held
your diuretics ("water pills") in order to improve your kidney
function.
- Once you kidney function improved, we gave you diuretics
("water pills") as needed to reduce any re-accumulation of fluid
around your lungs after the chest tube was removed.
-Our colleagues in interventional radiology later performed a
TIPS procedure to help decrease the pressure in your liver that
is causing fluid to accumulate in your lungs and abdomen.
WHAT SHOULD I DO WHEN I LEAVE THE HOSPITAL?
- Please take all of your medications as prescribed.
- Please follow up with your primary care physician ___ ___

Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ man with history of diverticulosis, presenting with
bright red blood per rectum.
COMPARISON: None.
TECHNIQUE: MDCT data were acquired through the abdomen and pelvis before and
in arterial and venous phases after the administration of intravenous
contrast. Images were displayed in multiple planes. Arterial volume
rendering and maximum intensity projections were reconstructed on a dedicated
3D workstation.
FINDINGS: The visualized lung bases are free of nodules, consolidations, or
effusions. The liver enhances homogeneously, and no focal lesions are
identified. The gallbladder, pancreas and spleen are normal. The kidneys are
of normal contour and attenuation. Several cystic structures in the left
kidney are too small to characterize but most likely cysts. The kidneys
enhance symmetrically and excrete contrast promptly. Small periaortic
retroperitoneal nodes do not meet pathologic criteria for enlargement. There
is no mesenteric adenopathy. No ascites is present.
The stomach, small and large bowel are of normal caliber and appearance.
Diffuse diverticulosis is seen throughout the large bowel without evidence of
diverticulitis. No contrast extravasation is seen within the bowel. Fat
stranding surrounds a focus of fat adjacent to the sigmoid colon (4A:151)
which likely represents epiploic appendagitis of unknown chronicity.
PELVIS: Normal appendix is seen in the right lower quadrant. The bladder and
prostate are normal. There is no free pelvic fluid. There is no pelvic or
inguinal adenopathy.
CTA: The origins of the celiac, SMA, and single renal arteries are patent.
Hepatic arterial anatomy is conventional.
BONE WINDOWS: There are no concerning lytic or sclerotic lesions.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of active gastrointestinal bleeding on this exam.
2. Diverticulosis without evidence of diverticulitis.
3. Stranding around sigmoid colon appendage, this may represent the sequelae
of prior epiploic appendagitis.
Radiology Report
MESENTERIC ANGIOGRAM
INDICATION: ___ man with lower GI bleeding.
OPERATORS: Drs. ___ (fellow) and ___ (attending
physician). Dr. ___ was present throughout the procedure.
SEDATION: Moderate sedation with divided doses of intravenous ___ mcg
fentanyl and 2 mg Versed over 2 hours and 35 minutes during which patient's
hemodynamic status was continuously monitored by a trained radiology nurse.
CONTRAST: Sterile 225 mL Omnipaque 320.
PROCEDURE AND FINDINGS: Consent was obtained from the patient after
explaining the benefits, risks, and alternatives. Patient was placed supine
on the imaging table in the interventional suite. Timeout was performed as
per ___ protocol.
Under aseptic conditions and palpatory guidance, a 19-gauge needle was placed
in the right common femoral artery at the level of mid-to-lower femoral head.
A 0.035 ___ wire was advanced through the needle and into the upper
abdominal aorta. The needle was exchanged for a 5 ___ ___ sheath.
After removing the inner cannula, the sidearm was aspirated, flushed and
connected to heparinized saline flush. A 5 ___ C2 glide cath was placed
over the wire and within the sheath, and advanced into the upper abdominal
aorta. After removing the wire, the catheter tip was placed in the SMA.
Multiple DSA runs were performed in AP and oblique projections to assess the
SMA territory, with special attention to the right colon. No contrast
extravasation, pseudoaneurysm or early draining vein was noted. Catheter was
removed. Right femoral arteriogram was performed to assess the access site.
A 6 ___ Angio-Seal was then deployed after removing the sheath. Firm
pressure was applied to the right groin for about 10 minutes to achieve
complete hemostasis. Site was appropriately dressed. Patient tolerated the
procedure well and no immediate post-procedure complications were seen.
IMPRESSION: Uncomplicated superior mesenteric arteriogram with no evidence
for extravasation, pseudoaneurysm or early draining vein.

IMPRESSION:
Mild pulmonary vascular congestion.
___ Cardiovascular C.CATH
COMMENTS:
1. Limited resting hemodynamics revealed the following values:
a. At baseline the PCW mean pressure was 20mmHg and the PA
pressure was
118/40 with a mean of 53mmHg. The PA sat was 77. The Cardiac
index was
3.6 L/Min/m2. When the patient's AV fistula was occluded the PA
saturation decreased to 69. The Cardiac index was then
calculated to be
2.67 L/min/m2. The pulmonary vascular resistence with AV fistula
occlusion was 592 dynes-sec/cm5 and without AV fistula occlusion
the
PVR was 427 dynes-sec/cm5.
b. With 100% Fi02 the mean PCW pressure was 13mmHg with a PA
pressure of
103/31 with a mean of 55mmHg. The PA sat was 87 and with
occlusion of
the AV fistula the PA sat was 80. The calculated cardiac index
was 4.14
L/min/m2 with AV fistula occlusion and 6.37L/min/m2 without
occlusion.
The pulmonary vascular resistence was 317 dynes-sec/cm5 without
AV
fistula occlusion and 486 dynes-sec/cm5 with occlusion.
c. With iNO the PCW pressure was 14mmHg and the PA pressure was
___
with a mean of 47. The PA sat was 87 without AV fistula
occlusion and 82
with occlusion. The calculated cardiac index with AV fistula
occlusion
was 4.6 L/min/m2 and without 6.4 L/min/m2. The pulmonary
vascular
resistence with AV fistula occlusion was 344dynes-sec/cm5 and
without
occlusion it was 249 dynes-sec/cm5.
FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
1. Severe primary pulmonary hypertension with limited response
to 100%
fiO2 and iNO.
___ Cardiovascular ECHO
The left atrium is elongated. The right atrium is moderately
dilated. Left ventricular wall thicknesses and cavity size are
normal. Overall left ventricular systolic function is normal
(LVEF 55-60%). There is a minimal resting left ventricular
outflow tract obstruction. The right ventricular cavity is
mildly dilated with moderate global free wall hypokinesis. There
is abnormal septal motion/position consistent with right
ventricular pressure/volume overload. The aortic valve leaflets
(3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and
no aortic stenosis or aortic regurgitation. The mitral valve
leaflets are mildly thickened. Physiologic mitral regurgitation
is seen (within normal limits). The tricuspid valve leaflets are
mildly thickened and do not fully coapt. Moderate to severe [3+]
tricuspid regurgitation (eccentric) is seen. There is severe
pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is no pericardial
effusion.
IMPRESSION: Mildly dilated right ventricle with moderate free

HEPATOBILIARY: There are multiple hypodense liver lesions which have overall
increased in number and size compared to ___. The largest lesions
measure 2.4 x 2.1 (transverse by AP), and 2.9 x 2.9 cm (transverse by AP)
(series 2, image 22, and 21) in segments III and V respectively. The lesion
in segment 5 has increased in size in previously measuring approximately 1.0 x
0.5 cm. The portal vein is patent. The gallbladder is surgically absent.
There is no intra or extrahepatic biliary duct dilation. Pneumobilia is
unchanged.
PANCREAS: The pancreas has normal attenuation throughout, without evidence of
focal lesions or pancreatic ductal dilatation. There is no peripancreatic
stranding.
SPLEEN: The spleen shows normal size and attenuation throughout, without
evidence of focal lesions.
ADRENALS: The right and left adrenal glands are normal in size and shape.
URINARY: The kidneys enhance and excrete contrast symmetrically. Multiple
subcentimeter renal hypodensities are unchanged from ___ and are too
small to characterize but statistically likely represent simple cysts. There
is no hydronephrosis. There is no perinephric abnormality.
GASTROINTESTINAL: There is a complex small- and large bowel-containing
ventral hernia, overall similar to prior. There is no evidence of bowel
obstruction. A heterogeneously enhancing irregular mass which measures
approximately 9.7 x 8.3 x 11.1 cm (transverse by AP by CC) appears to arise
from the cecum, and has significantly enlarged from ___ when it
measured approximately 6.0 x 4.7 x 6.2 cm. The sigmoid colon abuts this mass
(series 2, image 57) with new obscuration of the intervening fat; invasion is
not excluded. The mass appears adherent to the overlying fascia (series 2,
image 53). There appears to be at least two sinus tracts extending from the
mass to the skin surface, one lateral (series 2, image 63) and one more
medially (series 2, image 54). Additionally, there is a blind ending tract
seen just superiorly (series 2, image 44, series 601b, image 24). While there
is stranding within the superficial soft tissues and foci of air (series 2,
image 64) A previously-seen large superficial fluid collection is no longer
present, reflecting interim drainage. The appendix is not visualized. There
is diverticulosis of the sigmoid colon.
RETROPERITONEUM: There is no evidence of retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy.
VASCULAR: There is no abdominal aortic aneurysm. There is mild calcification
within the abdominal aorta. The abdominal aorta and its major branches are
patent. Incidental note is made of a retroaortic left renal vein.
PELVIS: The urinary bladder and distal ureters are unremarkable. There is no
evidence of pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. There is no free fluid in the
pelvis.
REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS: The reproductive organs are within normal limits.
BONES AND SOFT TISSUES: There is no evidence of worrisome osseous lesions.
There are mild degenerative changes of the lumbar spine. The abdominal and
pelvic wall is within normal limits.
IMPRESSION:
1. Interval enlargement of a now 9.7 x 8.3 x 11.1 cm heterogeneously enhancing
mass, likely arising from the cecum, with at least two sinus tracts extending
to the skin surface.
2. Interval increase in size and number of multiple hepatic lesions favor
metastases over abscesses given interval growth of smaller lesions from
___, and lack of current infectious symptoms. US pending for
further evaluation and for feasibility for biopsy.
3. The constellation of findings above are suspicious for colorectal carcinoma
with hepatic metastases, less likely infection.
4. The sigmoid colon abuts this mass and local invasion cannot be excluded. No
bowel obstruction.
5. Interval complete drainage of a previously seen large right subcutaneous
collection. No residual superficial fluid collection.
6. Complex small- and large-bowel containing ventral hernia, not significantly
changed from ___.
RECOMMENDATION(S): A liver ultrasound is recommended to further evaluate and
characterize liver lesions and assess for feasibility for US-guided biopsy.

FINDINGS:
Limited preprocedure grayscale and Doppler ultrasound imaging of the liver was
performed. The lesion for biopsy was identified in the right hepatic lobe. A
suitable approach for targeted liver biopsy was determined.
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.
Based on the preprocedure imaging, an appropriate skin entry site for the
biopsy was chosen. The site was marked. The skin was then prepped and draped
in the usual sterile fashion. The superficial soft tissues to the liver
capsule were anesthetized with 10 mL 1% lidocaine.
Under real-time ultrasound guidance, a single 18-gauge core biopsy sample was
obtained.
The skin was then cleaned and a dry sterile dressing was applied. There were
no immediate complications.

may be due to asymmetric atherosclerosis.
4. M1 segment of the right MCA appears smaller in caliber than
the left, unclear whether secondary to diminished flow or
technical factors.
5. Flow is poorly seen in the intracranial left vertebral
artery, likely due to its small size, as it was shown to be
diminutive on the prior MRI. Flow suboptimally visualized in the
proximal right intracranial vertebral artery, likely due to
technical factors, with good flow seen in its mid and distal
portion."
EEG ___
This continuous ICU monitoring study was abnormal due to:
Generalized background slowing suggestive of a mild
encephalopathy, non-
specific in etiology. There were no push button events. There
were no focal
findings, electrographic seizures, or epileptiform discharges.
Compared to the
prior day's recording, there was slight improvement in the
background. Of
note, several portions of the study were obscured by electrode
artifact.
MR HEAD W & W/O CONTRAST Study Date of ___ 11:55 AM
There is diffuse pachymeningeal thickening and enhancement.
Additionally,
there is diffuse enhancing and FLAIR hyperintense sulcal linear
foci which
likely represent engorged cerebral cortical veins.
There is a FLAIR hyperintense 2.5 x 2.0 x 0.8 cm (SI by TV by
AP) (7:6 and
1000:83) enhancing signal abnormality along the posterior clivus
which is
favored to represent venous plexus engorgement (7:6, 4:6, 9:6),
less likely
retroclival hematoma given enhancement.
There is no evidence of abnormal mamillary body signal or
enhancement, or
abnormal signal within the medial thalamus or periaqueductal
gray matter to
suggest alcoholic/Wernicke encephalopathy.

effect. The
ventricles and sulci are prominent, compatible with global
parenchymal volume
loss.
There is mild right maxillary sinus mucosal thickening. The
remaining
visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoids appear clear. Major
intracranial
vascular flow voids are preserved. Globes and orbits are
unremarkable. Major
dural venous sinuses are patent and appear larger in
caliber/engorged compared
with prior MRI. Additionally, note is made of a more superiorly
convex margin
of the pituitary on the current study compared to prior
(1000:84).
IMPRESSION:
1. Diffuse mild pachymeningeal FLAIR hyperintensity and
enhancement.
Additionally, there is engorgement of the cerebral cortical
veins and the
dural venous sinuses and a more superiorly convex pituitary
gland which has
increased in height since prior MRI of ___
constellation of
findings most consistent with some component of new intracranial
hypotension,
possibly secondary to recent lumbar puncture.
2. 2.5 cm extra-axial midline enhancing signal abnormality along
the posterior
clivus is favored to represent engorged venous plexus. Although
retroclival
hematoma is considered less likely given the degree of
enhancement observed,
since this is new from prior study of ___, short-term
(3 days)
follow-up is recommended.
3. No additional acute intracranial abnormality identified. No
evidence of
alcoholic/Wernicke encephalopathy.
4. Chronic global parenchymal volume loss, stable.

level of pain: 8
level of acuity: 3.0 | You were admitted to the acute care surgery service after
suffering a jaw fracture in order the Oral and Maxofacial
Surgery (OMFS) could repair your jaw. They left the following
instructions for you:
1. Take antibiotics for 1 week
2. Wash your mouth with Peridex 2x a day for 2 weeks
3. Please review jaw instructions placed in your chart.
Wound care: Do not disturb or probe the surgical area with any
objects. The sutures placed in your mouth are usually the type
that self dissolve. If you have any sutures on the skin of your
face or neck, your surgeon will remove them on the day of your
first follow up appointment. SMOKING is detrimental to healing
and will cause complications.
Bleeding: Intermittent bleeding or oozing overnight is normal.
Placing fresh gauze over the area and biting on the gauze for
___ minutes at a time may control the bleeding. If you had
nasal surgery, you may have occasional slow oozing from your
nostril for the first ___ days. Bleeding should never be severe.
If bleeding persists or is severe or uncontrollable, please call
our office immediately. If it is after normal business hours,
please come to the emergency room and request that the oral
surgery resident on call be paged.
___: Normal healing after oral surgery should be as follows:
the first ___ days after surgery, are generally the most
uncomfortable and there is usually significant swelling. After
the first week, you should be more comfortable. The remainder of
your postoperative course should be gradual, steady improvement.
If you do not see continued improvement, please call our office.
Physical activity: It is recommended that you not perform any
strenuous physical activity for a few weeks after surgery. Do
not lift any heavy loads and avoid physical sports unless you
obtain permission from your surgeon.
Swelling & Ice applications: Swelling is often associated with
surgery. Swelling can be minimized by using a cold pack, ice bag
or a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a towel, with firm
application to face and neck areas. This should be applied 20
minutes on and 20 minutes off during the first ___ days after
surgery. If you have been given medicine to control the
swelling, be sure to take it as directed.
Hot applications: Starting on the ___ or ___ day after surgery,
you may apply warm compresses to the skin over the areas of
swelling (hot water bottle wrapped in a towel, etc), for 20
minutes on and 20 min off to help soothe tender areas and help
to decrease swelling and stiffness. Please use caution when
applying ice or heat to your face as certain areas may feel numb
after surgery and extremes of temperature may cause serious
damage.
Tooth brushing: Begin your normal oral hygiene the day after
surgery. Soreness and swelling may nor permit vigorous brushing,
but please make every effort to clean your teeth with the bounds
of comfort. Any toothpaste is acceptable. Please remember that
your gums may be numb after surgery. To avoid injury to the gums
during brushing, use a child size toothbrush and brush in front
of a mirror staying only on teeth.
Mouth rinses: Keeping your mouth clean after surgery is
essential. Use 1 teaspoon of salt dissolved in an 8 ounce glass
of warm water and gently rinse with portions of the solution,
taking 5 min to use the entire glassful. Repeat as often as you
like, but you should do this at least 4 times each day. If your
surgeon has prescribed a specific rinse, use as directed.
Showering: You may shower ___ days after surgery, but please ask
your surgeon about this. If you have any incisions on the skin
of your face or body, you should cover them with a water
resistant dressing while showering. DO NOT SOAK SURGICAL SITES.
This will avoid getting the area excessively wet. As you may
physically feel weak after surgery, initially avoid extreme hot
or cold showers, as these may cause some patients to pass out.
Also it is a good idea to make sure someone is available to
assist you in case if you may need help.
Sleeping: Please keep your head elevated while sleeping. This
will minimize swelling and discomfort and reduce pain while
allowing you to breathe more easily. One or two pillows may be
placed beneath your mattress at the head of the bed to prop the
bed into a more vertical position.
Pain: Most facial and jaw reconstructive surgery is accompanied
by some degree of discomfort. You will usually have a
prescription for pain medication. Some patients find that
stronger pain medications cause nausea, but if you precede each
pain pill with a small amount of food, chances of nausea will be
reduced. The effects of pain medications vary widely among
individuals. If you do not achieve adequate pain relief at first
you may supplement each pain pill with an analgesic such as
Tylenol or Motrin. If you find that you are taking large amounts
of pain medications at frequent intervals, please call our
office.
If your jaws are wired shut with elastics, you may have been
prescribed liquid pain medications. Please remember to rinse
your mouth after taking liquid pain medications as they can
stick to the braces and can cause gum disease and damage teeth.
Diet: Unless otherwise instructed, only a cool, clear liquid
diet is allowed for the first 24 hours after surgery. After 48
hours, you can increase to a full liquid diet, but please check
with your doctor before doing this. Avoid extreme hot and cold.
If your jaws are not wired shut, then after one week, you may be
able to gradually progress to a soft diet, but ONLY if your
surgeon instructs you to do so. It is important not to skip any
meals. If you take nourishment regularly you will feel better,
gain strength, have less discomfort and heal faster. Over the
counter meal supplements are helpful to support nutritional
needs in the first few days after surgery. A nutrition guidebook
will be given to you before you are discharged from the
hospital. Remember to rinse your mouth after any food intake,
failure to do this may cause infections and gum disease and
possible loss of teeth.
Nausea/Vomiting: Nausea is not uncommon after surgery. Sometimes
pain medications are the cause. Precede each pill with a small
amount of soft food. Taking pain pills with a large glass of
water can also reduce nausea. Try taking clear fluids and
minimizing taking pain medications, but call us if you do not
feel better. If your jaws are wired shut with elastics and you
experience nausea/vomiting, try tilting your head and neck to
one side. This will allow the vomitus to drain out of your
mouth. If you feel that you cannot safely expel the vomitus in
this manner, you can cut elastics/wires and open your mouth.
Inform our office immediately if you elect to do this. If it is
after normal business hours, please come to the emergency room
at once, and have the oral surgery on call resident paged.
___ Instructions: If you have had a bone ___ or soft tissue
___ procedure, the site where the ___ was taken from (rib,
head, mouth, skin, clavicle, hip etc) may require additional
precautions. Depending on the site of the ___ harvest, your
surgeon will instruct you regarding specific instructions for
the care of that area. If you had a bone ___ taken from your
hip, we encourage you to ambulate on the day of surgery with
assistance. It is important to start slowly and hold onto stable
structures while walking. As you progressively increase your
ambulation, the discomfort will gradually diminish. If you have
any problems with urination or with bowel movements, call our
office immediately.
Elastics: Depending on the type of surgery, you may have
elastics and/or wires placed on your braces. Before discharge
from the hospital, the doctor ___ instruct you regarding these
wires/elastics. If for any reason, the elastics or wires break,
or if you feel your bite is shifting, please call our office. |

COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
CT HEAD WITHOUT CONTRAST:
There is no evidence of no evidence of infarction, hemorrhage, edema, or mass.
The ventricles and sulci are normal in size and configuration.
The visualized portion of the paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle
ear cavities are clear. The visualized portion of the orbits are unremarkable.
CTA HEAD:
The vessels of the circle of ___ and their principal intracranial branches
appear normal without stenosis, occlusion or aneurysm formation. The dural
venous sinuses are patent.
CTA NECK:
There is a linear filling defect in the right internal carotid artery just
distal to the bifurcation (see 5:144-146). The remaining carotid and
vertebral arteries and their major branches appear normal with no evidence of
stenosis or occlusion. There is no evidence of internal carotid stenosis by
NASCET criteria.
OTHER:
There is a 4 mm nodule in the right upper lobe on image 5:47. The remaining
visualized portions of the lung are clear. There is ectasia of the ascending
aorta measuring up to 4.4 cm on image 5:1. Question mild heterogeneity of
bilateral thyroid glands with an approximately 2mm right thyroid gland nodule
(see 5:101). Scattered subcentimeter nonspecific lymph nodes are noted
throughout the neck bilaterally. There is no lymphadenopathy by CT size
criteria.

Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ year old woman with headache, lightheadedness, and episodes
concerning for TIA. Abnormality in right carotid bulb suspicious for
dissection on preceding CTA with right Horner syndrome on exam. Please
perform with FAT SAT sequences.
TECHNIQUE: Sagittal T1 weighted, and axial T2 weighted, FLAIR, gradient echo,
and diffusion-weighted images of the brain were obtained. 3D time-of-flight
MRA of the brain was obtained with multiplanar maximum intensity projection
angiographic reformatted images. 2D time-of-flight MRA of the neck was
obtained. Axial T1 weighted images of the neck were obtained with fat
suppression. Fat-suppressed axial IDEAL images of the neck were also
obtained. 3D coronal T1 weighted gradient echo imaging of the neck was
obtained before, during, and after intravenous gadolinium administration with
multiplanar maximum intensity projection angiographic reformatted images.
COMPARISON: Head and neck CTA ___ at 01:57.
FINDINGS:
BRAIN MRI: There is no acute infarction, edema, evidence for blood products,
or pathologic contrast enhancement. Scattered small foci of high T2 signal in
the subcortical, deep, and periventricular white matter of the cerebral
hemispheres are nonspecific but likely sequela of mild chronic small vessel
ischemic disease in this age group. Ventricles and sulci are normal in size
for age. Major dural venous sinuses are patent on postcontrast MP RAGE
images.
NECK MRA: Fat-suppressed axial T1 weighted and IDEAL images are limited by
motion artifacts. Evaluation of the small dissection flap in the right
carotid bulb, seen on the preceding CTA, is further limited by the relatively
high slice thickness of these images. High signal in the posterior right
carotid bulb on image ___ correspond to the small focal dissection.
Gadolinium enhanced MRA demonstrates a 3 vessel aortic arch. Common carotid,
cervical internal carotid, and vertebral arteries appear patent without
evidence for flow-limiting stenosis.
BRAIN MRA: The intracranial internal carotid and vertebral arteries, and
their major branches, appear patent without evidence for flow-limiting
stenosis or aneurysm.
IMPRESSION:
1. No acute infarction and no evidence for other acute intracranial
abnormalities.
2. Fat-suppressed axial images are limited by motion artifact. There may be
high signal in the posterior right carotid bulb corresponding to the small
focal dissection seen on the preceding CTA. CTA images are concerning for the
presence of the small focal dissection in the right carotid bulb.
3. Unremarkable appearance of the major intracranial arteries.

You were admitted to ___ on ___ after you experienced
some nausea and an EKG showed changes concerning for heart
injury. You underwent catheterization which found a block on one
of your main arteries, so 2 stents were placed. Your heart rates
were also initially slow, but have improved with the stents
placed.
You were ordered for a Holter Monitor to monitor your heart rate
after your hospital discharge. You are able to pick up this
monitor at this hospital tomorrow (___). You should call
them at ___ before you come to find out their location
and to schedule your appointment.
You were started on Aspirin and Plavix, and it is extremely
important that you take both these medications every day.
Missing a single dose can cause a life-threatening blood clot to
form in your stent. If you experience any new chest pain,
shortness of breath, arm or jaw pain, or nausea, please contact
your physician or come to the nearest Emergency Room. You should
also notify your doctor if you feel lightheaded or dizzy as

Chief Complaint:
headache, high blood pressure
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None
History of Present Illness:
Mr. ___ is a ___ year old gentleman with past medical
history most notable for hyponatremia and resistant hypertension
who presents with headache and hypertension noted in clinic. His
other medical issues are notable for GERD, obstructive sleep
apnea on CPAP, and type II diabetes.
The patient's hyponatremia dates back to at least ___. He
has been as low as 116. Initially this was attributed to
diuretic-induced hyponatremia in the setting of HCTZ (___),
which initially improved with discontinuation of HCTZ and fluid
repletion. He has had multiple subsequent admissions (once in
___ where hyponatremia was thought related to polydipsia
with low solute intake; in ___ hyponatremia suspected related
to be SIADH; and then most recently in ___, etiology of
hyponatremia was unclear and urine studies not consistent with
SIADH, however, Na improved with fluid restriction).
Review of recent work up reveals TSH 1.1 ___, AM cortisol
14.1 ___ but 2.1 in ___. Most recent set of urine lytes
from ___ with Na 34 and Uosm 395. It appears that the patient
has been instructed to adhere to fluid restriction of 1.5L. He
has been evaluated by renal, who thought that diuretic holiday
would be the ultimate way to make the diagnosis, but that in the
setting of hypertension, this is not advocated.
With regard to patient's hypertension: this is again
longstanding, with extensive workup in past not revealing for
clear secondary cause of hypertension. Specifically, RAS,
pheochromocytoma and hyperaldosteronism were ruled out.
There have been multiple recent medication changes. Most
recently, his eplerenone was increased from 25 to 50 mg
(___), and he was started on indapamide 1.25 mg
(___). He notes that he started taking indapamide on
___ (which was a switch from torsemide) and started
experiencing dizziness upon changing positions. After 3 days of
the new medication, he decided to switch back to torsemide.
He notes that his BPs have been fluctuating recently, often with
SBP 140 when he goes to bed, then 150s when he wakes up.
However, on ___, he noticed that his BP was elevated to
197/88. In this setting, he developed gradual worsening
posterior headache, which he described as constant, ___, not
associated with nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light/sound.
He rested a bit, laid down in a dark area, and BP improved to
175/75, with slight improvement of headache. He took Tylenol
___ mg, which helped his headache as well. No weakness,
numbness, tingling present.
He subsequently presented to ___ clinic. In clinic, SBP noted to
be 160-180, with nonfocal neurological exam. He was subsequently
referred to ED for further management and workup of his
hypertension and headache.

FINDINGS:
LOWER CHEST:
There is bibasilar atelectasis. The visualized heart and pericardium are
unremarkable.
ABDOMEN:
HEPATOBILIARY: The liver demonstrates homogenous attenuation throughout.
There is no evidence of focal lesions. There is no evidence of intrahepatic
or extrahepatic biliary dilatation. The main portal vein is patent. The
gallbladder is distended containing a 3.2 x 2.4 cm calcified gallstone. There
is a small amount of pericholecystic fluid and perhaps mild wall edema.
PANCREAS: The pancreas appears less edematous than on previous exams and
peripancreatic stranding has improved compatible with resolving pancreatitis.
A small residual component is seen inferior to the pancreatic tail.
Intra-abdominal free fluid has resolved since the prior study.
SPLEEN: The spleen shows normal size and attenuation throughout, without
evidence of focal lesions. A rounded 6 mm calcification in the region of the
splenic hilum may represent a small calcified splenic artery aneurysm.
ADRENALS: The right and left adrenal glands are normal in size and shape.
URINARY: The kidneys are of normal and symmetric size with normal nephrogram.
There is no evidence of stones or hydronephrosis. A tiny hypodensity within
the interpolar region of the left kidney is too small to characterize. There
are no urothelial lesions in the kidneys or ureters. There is no perinephric
abnormality.
GASTROINTESTINAL: There is a small axial hiatal hernia. Small bowel loops
demonstrate normal caliber, wall thickness and enhancement throughout. Colon
and rectum are within normal limits except for diverticulosis throughout the
colon without diverticulitis. Appendix contains air, has normal caliber
without evidence of fat stranding.
RETROPERITONEUM: There is no evidence of retroperitoneal and mesenteric
lymphadenopathy.
VASCULAR: There is no abdominal aortic aneurysm. There is moderate calcium
burden in the abdominal aorta and great abdominal arteries.
PELVIS:
The urinary bladder and distal ureters are unremarkable. There is no evidence
of pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. There is no free fluid in the pelvis.
REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS: The uterus and adnexae are unremarkable.
BONES AND SOFT TISSUES: There is no evidence of worrisome lesions. Again seen
are old fractures of the left superior and inferior pubic rami. Multilevel
degenerate changes are present within the thoracolumbar spine.
IMPRESSION:
1. Distended gallbladder with a large gallstone and pericholecystic fluid
concerning for acute cholecystitis.

table. Limited preprocedure imaging was performed to localize the gallbladder.
An appropriate skin entry site was chosen and the site marked. Local
anesthesia was administered with 1% Lidocaine solution.
Using continuous sonographic guidance, an ___ Exodus drainage catheter
was advanced via trocar technique into the gallbladder. A sample of fluid was
aspirated, confirming catheter position within the collection. The plastic
stiffener was removed. The pigtail was deployed. The position of the pigtail
was confirmed within the collection via ultrasound. Ultrasound images were
stored on PACS.
Approximately 45 cc of cloudy bile was drained 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.

recovery.
IMAGING METHOD:
Resting perfusion images were obtained with Tc-99m sestamibi.
Tracer was
injected approximately 45 minutes prior to obtaining the resting
images.
Following resting images and two minutes following intravenous
dipyridamole,
approximately three times the resting dose of Tc-99m sestamibi
was administered
intravenously. Stress images were obtained approximately 30
minutes following
tracer injection.
Imaging protocol: Gated SPECT.
INTERPRETATION:
The image quality is limited by soft tissue attenuation.
Left ventricular cavity size is 299 ml.
Rest and stress perfusion images reveal uniform tracer uptake
throughout the
left ventricular myocardium.
Gated images reveal severe global hypokinesis.
The calculated left ventricular ejection fraction is 16%.

TTE: Conclusions
The left atrium is mildly dilated. No atrial septal defect is
seen by 2D or color Doppler. The estimated right atrial pressure
is at least 15 mmHg. The left ventricular cavity is severely
dilated. Overall left ventricular systolic function is severely
depressed with akinesis/scarring of the anteroseptum and diffuse
hypokinesis of all other segments (LVEF= 15 %). A left
ventricular mass/thrombus cannot be excluded. The right
ventricular cavity is dilated with mild global free wall
hypokinesis. The diameters of aorta at the sinus, ascending and
arch levels are normal. The aortic valve leaflets (3) appear
structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic
stenosis. Trace aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve
leaflets are structurally normal. Mild to moderate (___) mitral
regurgitation is seen. There is mild pulmonary artery systolic
hypertension. The end-diastolic pulmonic regurgitation velocity
is increased suggesting pulmonary artery diastolic hypertension.
There is no pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION: Severely dilated left ventricle with severely
depressed global left ventricular systolic function.
Akinesis/scarring of the anteroseptal segments and diffuse
hypokinesis of all other left ventricular walls. Mild to
moderate mitral regurgitation. Mild pulmonary artery systolic
and diastolic hypertension.
.
Repeat TTE:
There is severe global left ventricular hypokinesis. No masses
or thrombi are seen in the left ventricle. There is no
pericardial effusion
.
EKG: Sinus tachycardia. Prominent voltage of unknown
significance. Q wave in
leads V1-V2 which could be due to lead placement. However,
cannot exclude an
old anterior wall myocardial infarction. However, with the
patient's age,
clinical correlation is highly suggested. No previous tracing
available for
comparison.

FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
1. No angiographically-apparent flow-limiting CAD.
2. Severe left ventricular diastolic heart failure.
3. Mild-moderate pulmonary arterial hypertension.
4. Low normal systemic arterial pressure exacerbated by a
vasovagal
response. Femoral arterial and venous access with ultrasound
guidance,
but low threshold for imaging to exclude RP bleeding if SBP does
not
improve overnight.
5. Reinforce secondary preventative measures against systolic

Radiology Report
CHEST RADIOGRAPHS
HISTORY: Tachycardia, cough and dyspnea on exertion.
COMPARISONS: ___.
TECHNIQUE: Chest, PA and lateral.
FINDINGS: There is a substantial moderate cardiomegaly with a globular
configuration, which appears increased since the prior examination.
Indistinct prominent perihilar opacities suggest mild-to-moderate pulmonary
edema. There is no definite pleural effusion or pneumothorax. In addition to
other opacities, there is an infrahilar opacity on the lateral view that
appears more prominent and may correspond to obscuring of the right
cardiophrenic sulcus on this examination. Incidental note is again made of an
azygos fissure, which is consistent with a normal variant. The osseous
structures are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. Moderate cardiomegaly including substantial increase. Clinical
correlation is suggested. True cardiac enlargement is a consideration, but
the possibility of a pericardial effusion could also be considered clinically.
2. Mild-to-moderate pulmonary edema.
3. Focal infrahilar opacity, of uncertain significance. It may reflect focal
edema, but a separate process such as developing focal opacity such as
pneumonia or atelectasis is an additional consideration. Short-term follow-up
radiographs are suggested to evaluate further.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ male with dyspnea.
No comparison studies available.
TECHNIQUE: MDCT-acquired 1.25-mm axial images of the chest were obtained
following the uneventful administration of contrast. Coronal and sagittal
reformations were performed at 5-mm slice thickness. Additional right and
left oblique reconstructions were obtained for further evaluation of the
pulmonary vasculature.
FINDINGS: The heart is mildly enlarged. The left ventricle in particular
appears dilated. No pericardial effusion is present. The main pulmonary
arteries are patent and normal in caliber. No pulmonary embolus is detected
to the subsegmental levels. Thoracic aorta is normal in caliber and patent,
with no evidence of dissection.
Moderate-sized pleural effusions are present, greater on the right, with
tracking along the major and minor fissues, as well as an azygos fissure
(2:23). The central pulmonary vessels are engorged, particularly at the
bases, and surrounded by patchy ground-glass opacity, most compatible with
interstitial edema. Mild bronchial thickening is present within central
regions (2:64).
There is no axillary or mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Included views of the
thyroid are normal.
OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: There is no acute fracture. No concerning blastic or
lytic lesions are identified.
IMPRESSION:
1. Moderate-sized right greater than left pleural effusions, with central
pulmonary vascular congestion and mild interstitial edema, and mild
cardiomegaly with left ventricular prominence, concerning for cardiac
decompensation.
2. No aortic dissection. No pulmonary embolus detected to the subsegmental
levels.

You were admitted to the hospital because you were short of
breath. This was due to fluid in your lungs. We worked you up
for different causes of this problem. On echocardiogram, we
determined that your heart is enlarged and that it was not
pumping as well as it should be (we call this "heart failure").
We performed a stress test to find if there were any blockages
in the arteries, but were unable to find any. We also had you
sent for a cardiac catheterization in order to determine the
pressures in the chambers of your heart, and to look for any
hidden blockages in the vessels of your heart. We did not find
any problems in the vessels of your heart, but foudn that you
still had some extra fluid that should come out. We gave you
some more diuretics and will send you home with daily diuretic
therapy.
As we discussed, it is VERY important that you quit smoking.
This is the most important thing that you can do for your
health. Also, we think it would be best if you did not exert

ANESTHESIA: ANESTHESIA: Moderate sedation was provided by administrating
divided doses of 1 mcg of fentanyl and 30 mg of midazolam throughout the total
intra-service time of 30 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.
TECHNIQUE: OPERATORS: Dr. ___, Neurosurgery Vascular
Fellow and Dr. ___, attending physician performed the procedure. Dr.
___ personally supervised the trainee during the key components of
the procedure and has reviewed and agrees with the trainee's findings.
The patient was brought to the angio suite and positioned on the angio table.
Conscious sedation was administered. The patient was prepped and draped in
usual sterile fashion and a time-out was performed. The right common femoral
artery was localized using anatomic landmarks and a 6 ___ long sheath was
placed using Seldinger technique over ___ wire and micro puncture kit. A
___ 2 diagnostic catheter was used to select the right common carotid
artery. Aforementioned views were obtained. Next, the left common carotid
artery was selected. Aforementioned views were obtained. At the end of
procedure diagnostic catheter was removed and the arteriotomy site was closed
with Angio-Seal.
PROCEDURE: Two-vessel cerebral angiogram.
FINDINGS:
Right common carotid artery: The right carotid bifurcation shows some signs
of arteriosclerotic disease without significant stenosis. The right anterior
intracranial circulation is unremarkable. There is significant cross-filling
of the left hemisphere via pial collaterals from the left anterior cerebral
artery. There is no filling of the left middle cerebral artery.
Left common carotid artery: The carotid bifurcation on the left is free of
arteriosclerotic disease or stenosis. The left internal carotid artery shows
occlusion at the level of the supraclinoid internal carotid artery just past
the ophthalmic artery origin.

COMPARISON MRI brain ___
FINDINGS:
There are few non contiguous foci of mildly increased signal on diffusion
weighted images involving the left periatrial white matter, extending into the
deep white matter of the lateral left temporal lobe, with mildly decreased or
normalized ADC values, favoring subacute infarcts. There are no right-sided
acute or subacute infarcts. There is no evidence of hemorrhage, edema,
masses, mass effect, midline shift.
There Is generalized parenchymal atrophy. There is no hydrocephalus.
Partially empty sella is again seen. There are stable chronic infarcts
involving bilateral caudate nuclei, right putamen. There is chronic cortical
infarct involving right middle frontal gyrus, stable. Probable tiny chronic
cortical infarct involving medial right postcentral gyrus. Significantly
diminished flow void in the high left cervical ICA, extending to the ICA
terminus, similar. Diminutive caliber left MCA branches, similar. There is
preserved right ICA, vertebrobasilar and dural venous sinus flow voids. There
is mild mucosal thickening of the paranasal sinuses, similar. Mastoid air
cells and middle ear cavities are patent.

level of acuity: 2.0 | Dear Mr. ___,
You were hospitalized due to symptoms of temporary difficulty
speaking and a right facial droop resulting from an TRANSIENT
ISCHEMIC ATTACK or "TIA", a condition where a blood vessel
providing oxygen and nutrients to the brain is temporarily
blocked by a clot. The brain is the part of your body that
controls and directs all the other parts of your body, so damage
to the brain from being deprived of its blood supply can result
in a variety of symptoms. Fortunately, the MRI of your brain did
NOT show a NEW stroke so these symptoms likely represented a
TIA.
TIA can have many different causes, so we assessed you for
medical conditions that might raise your risk of having stroke.
In order to prevent future strokes, we plan to modify those risk
factors. Your risk factors are:
-Blocked blood vessels in the brain due to atherosclerosis or
plaque
-High cholesterol
Please take your medications as prescribed:
-Aspirin 81mg daily, Plavix 75mg daily, Lipitor 40mg daily
Please also allow your blood pressure to run high (goal SBP
110-140, may run up to 180). Please ensure you stay hydrated and
eat a normal amount of salt, as your blood pressure dropped
slightly while standing on your day of discharge from the
hospital.
Please followup with Neurology and your primary care physician.
If you experience any of the symptoms below, please seek
emergency medical attention by calling Emergency Medical
Services (dialing 911). In particular, since stroke can recur,
please pay attention to the sudden onset and persistence of
these symptoms:
- Sudden partial or complete loss of vision
- Sudden loss of the ability to speak words from your mouth
- Sudden loss of the ability to understand others speaking to
you
- Sudden weakness of one side of the body
- Sudden drooping of one side of the face
- Sudden loss of sensation of one side of the body

disease with bulky lymphadenopathy above and below the diaphragm
as well as some splenomegaly and osseous involvement. Also,
upon
initial presentation, he did have a question of some muscle
wasting, fatigue and sweat. His oncologist then had decided to
monitor him
off treatment with plan for repeat PET scan in approximately a
month from his prior one. However, the patient called two weeks
ago to report new/worsening pain in left shoulder, chest and
axilla region. They repeated a CT scan of his torso, which
revealed some further progression of his disease and also the
patient reported feeling somewhat more fatigued with some
worsening night sweats as well as some ongoing poor appetite and
it was decided that they would initiate treatment. He did have
a
bone marrow biopsy as part of staging of his disease, which
revealed extensive involvement of his lymphoma.

since ___.
4. Probable anemia.
.
___ CT HEAD
1. No evidence of acute intracranial abnormalities.
2. Moderate diffuse ventricular enlargement, out of proportion
of sulcal
enlargement. This could reflect cerebral atrophy with central
predominance. Alternatively, this could reflect communicating
hydrocephalus. If subependymal lymphomatous involvement or
other intracranial lymphomatous involvement is highly suspected,
then further evaluation would be best performed by MRI. MRI
would also be more sensitive for intracranial infection.
3. 6 x 4 mm sclerotic lesion in the outer table of the left
parietal bone at the vertex most likely represents an osteoma.
Given the history of lymphoma, follow-up could be obtained to
assess stability.

Radiology Report
HISTORY: Trauma and cough/fever.
COMPARISON: ___.
FINDINGS:
No focal consolidation, pleural effusion, or evidence of pneumothorax is seen.
The cardiac and mediastinal silhouettes are unremarkable. The hilar contours
are stable.
IMPRESSION:
No acute cardiopulmonary process.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ man with history of follicular lymphoma and prostate
cancer, presenting with fever and cough. The patient uses CPAP at home with
water from the tap.
COMPARISONS: CT of the torso from ___.
TECHNIQUE: MDCT-acquired axial images were obtained of the neck and chest,
from the level of the temporomandibular joints through the lung bases. Image
acquisition performed after administration of 75 cc Omnipaque intravenous
contrast material. Coronal and sagittal reformats prepared and reviewed.
DLP: 983.29 mGy-cm.
FINDINGS:
NECK: There is no evidence of soft tissue mass or fluid collection within the
neck. The pharynx, larynx, and trachea are patent, without significant
narrowing or mass effect. There is no definitive evidence of acute
inflammatory change in the soft tissues of the neck. A minimally enlarged
cervical lymph node at level IIb on the right measures 1.4 x 1.4 cm and
features minimal surrounding fat stranding present (2:17). There is no other
significant lymphadenopathy in the cervical lymph node stations. The parotid
and submandibular glands appear normal. The lingular and palatine tonsils are
not enlarged. There is no retropharyngeal soft tissue thickening. The
carotid arteries and jugular veins in the neck are patent and enhance
normally. Trace mucosal thickening is seen in the imaged portion of the right
maxillary sinus (2:3). Limited images of the remainder of the paranasal
sinuses and nasal passageways are unremarkable. There are no destructive
osseous lesions in the cervical spine, which would be concerning for
malignancy. No paraspinal fluid collection is identified.
CHEST: The thyroid gland appears normal. There has been interval resolution
of lymphadenopathy in the right axilla when compared to the ___
study. For example, a pathologically enlarged lymph node with surrounding fat
stranding was 2.3 x 1.7 cm on the prior study is now only 6 mm in the short
axis with normal fatty hilum on the current study (2:43). There is a similar
reduction in size in left axillary lymph nodes, for example, an 18 x 12 mm
lymph node now measures only 5 mm in short axis with a more normal-appearing
fatty hilum (2:39). There is, however, minimally increased fat stranding
around the bilateral axillary lymph nodes in comparison to prior study. There
is no supraclavicular, mediastinal or hilar lymphadenopathy. Gynecomastia is
noted. The heart size is normal and there is no pericardial effusion. There
are minimal coronary arterial calcifications. The great vessels are
unremarkable. Limited views of the upper abdominal structures are also
unremarkable.
The airways are patent to the subsegmental level. The lungs are clear. There
are no concerning pulmonary nodules. There is no pneumothorax or pleural
effusion.
There are no destructive osseous lesions within the chest, concerning for
malignancy or infection.
IMPRESSION:
1. No obvious evidence of active infectious or inflammatory process in the
neck or chest. No evidence of pneumonia.
2. Significant decrease in size of bilateral axillary lymph nodes which no
longer meet CT size criteria for pathological enlargement. Interval increase
in the degree of minimal fat stranding surrounding lymph nodes likely
represents post-treatment change.
3. A single focus of minimally enlarged lymph nodes in the IIb cervical
station on the right with minimal fat stranding, also likely represents
post-treatment change given the morphologic similarity to the changes in the
axillary lymph nodes.
Radiology Report

Radiology Report
SINUS CT WITHOUT CONTRAST, ___
INDICATION: CLL/SLL, presenting with fever of 103 for three days, headache,
sinus pressure. Assess for sinusitis.
COMPARISON: None.
TECHNIQUE: Axial non-contrast multidetector CT images of the paranasal
sinuses with sagittal and coronal reformatted images.
FINDINGS: There is mild mucosal thickening in the inferior frontal sinuses,
extending into the frontoethmoidal recesses. There is minimal mucosal
thickening in some of the anterior ethmoidal air cells bilaterally. A right
middle ethmoid air cell contains aerosolized secretions. There is mild
mucosal thickening in the right maxillary sinus and minimal mucosal thickening
along the floor of the left maxillary sinus. The ostiomeatal units are well
aerated. There is minimal mucosal thickening in bilateral sphenoid sinuses.
The sphenoethmoidal recesses are well aerated. There is no fluid in the
paranasal sinuses. There is no evidence of erosion or sclerosis in the walls
of the paranasal sinuses. The nasal septum is deviated to the left with an
osseous spur. The lamina papyracea and cribriform plates are intact
bilaterally. There is no evidence of abnormal soft tissue densities in the
nasal cavity.
There is no evidence of periapical lucencies in the maxillary alveolar ridge.
The orbits are unremarkable on non-contrast assessment. The mastoid air cells
are well aerated.
Concurrent head CT is reported separately.
IMPRESSION:
1. A single right middle ethmoid air cell contains mild aerosolized
secretions, which is in the absence of associated fluid is a nonspecific
finding with regard to the possibility of acute sinusitis. No fluid in the
paranasal sinuses to clearly suggest acute sinusitis.
2. Mild mucosal thickening in the paranasal sinuses indicates mild chronic
inflammation.
Radiology Report
NON-CONTRAST HEAD CT, ___
INDICATION: CLL/SLL, now with fever of 103 for three days, headaches, sinus
pressure. Assess for evidence of lymphoma or other acute infection.
COMPARISON: None.
TECHNIQUE: Non-contrast head CT.
FINDINGS: There is no acute intracranial hemorrhage. There is no evidence of
edema, mass effect, or loss of gray/white matter differentiation. There is
moderate ventricular enlargement, out of proportion to the size of the sulci.
A 6 x 4 mm cortical-density lesion in the outer table of the left parietal
bone at the vertex (image 2:28) probably represents an osteoma. No suspicious
lytic bone lesions are seen. The mastoid air cells are well aerated. The
paranasal sinuses are better assessed on the concurrent sinus CT.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of acute intracranial abnormalities.
2. Moderate diffuse ventricular enlargement, out of proportion of sulcal
enlargement. This could reflect cerebral atrophy with central predominance.
Alternatively, this could reflect communicating hydrocephalus. If
subependymal lymphomatous involvement or other intracranial lymphomatous
involvement is highly suspected, then further evaluation would be best
performed by MRI. MRI would also be more sensitive for intracranial
infection.
3. 6 x 4 mm sclerotic lesion in the outer table of the left parietal bone at
the vertex most likely represents an osteoma. Given the history of lymphoma,
follow-up could be obtained to assess stability.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: Follicular lymphoma and prostate carcinoma, fever, suspect
pneumonia.
TECHNIQUE: Multidetector helical scanning of the chest was performed without
need for intravenous contrast agent, reconstructed as contiguous 5 and 1.25-mm
thick axial and 5-mm thick coronal and parasagittal images, compared to CT
scanning of the chest on ___ and ___.
FINDINGS: Small layering nonhemorrhagic bilateral pleural effusions are new
since ___. The very mild increase in ground-glass opacification at the right
lung base below the level of the inferior pulmonary veins accompanied by
smoothly thickened septae is attributable to mild residual edema rather than
infection. There is also some increase in dependent atelectasis seen three
days ago. There is no good evidence for intrathoracic infection--no
consolidation, nodulation, bronchial wall thickening, or evidence of
bronchiolitis.
Largest imaged lymph nodes, in the axilla, are smaller than from ___,
ranging in diameter up to only 22 x 19 mm, on the left, 2:19, where there were
numerous lymph nodes of equivalent size in ___, most involuted. Numerous
central lymph nodes range up to 7mm in the left upper paratracheal station,
2:13, 9mm in the left upper paratracheal station, 2:10, 8-mm in right lower
paratracheal station, 2:19, all stable since at least ___ 5-mm lower
paraesophageal node, 2:44, was 7 mm in ___.
Pericardial effusion is physiologic. Relative hypoattenuation of the cardiac
contents suggests anemia, not appreciated on the previous contrast-enhanced
study. Study is not designed for subdiaphragmatic evaluation, but shows no
adrenal mass. Splenomegaly has improved since ___.
IMPRESSION:
1. Small bilateral pleural effusions and residual dependent pulmonary edema,
new since ___.
2. No evidence of intrathoracic infection.
3. No central adenopathy. Left axillary adenopathy improved since ___.
4. Probable anemia.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ man with CLL /CLL. Evaluate for evidence of
intracranial lymphoma.
COMPARISON: Head CT from ___.
TECHNIQUE : Multiplanar T1, T2, susceptibility, and diffusion-weighted MR
images were obtained pre contrast. After intravenous administration of
gadolinium based contrast, axial T1 and sagittal MPRAGE sequences were
obtained, the latter with coronal and axial reformations.
FINDINGS:
There is no diffusion abnormality to suggest acute infarction. No intra- or
extra-axial fluid collections or blood is identified. Principal intracranial
vascular flow voids are preserved. The ventricles appear more prominent as
compared to the sulci suggesting central atrophy. No intracranial mass or
abnormally enhancing lesions are identified. Confluent periventricular and
scattered subcortical white matter FLAIR hyperintensities are nonspecific but
likely reflect sequelae of chronic small vessel ischemic disease.
The brainstem, posterior fossa, and cervical medullary junction are preserved.
The orbits, sella turcica, and parasellar regions are normal. No abnormality
of the skull base or calvarium is identified. Mild mucosal thickening is seen
within the right maxillary sinus. Mastoid air cells are partially opacified
on the right.
IMPRESSION:
No evidence of mass, mass effect or abnormally enhancing lesions.

initially placed you on several antibiotics and tested your
blood for several infections. None of these tests showed the
specific infection you may have. We also took several CT scans
of your head, neck, chest, and abdomen, none of which showed
anything concerning for infection. Because of an abnormality on
your CT head, we also got an MRI of your head and performed a
lumbar puncture, which were all reassuring. We think you had a
viral illness, from which your body is slowly recovering. |

___ CT CHEST WITH CONTRAST
1. Large 3.4 x 5.3 cm left lower lobe lesion, along with left
upper lobe and right lower lobe nodules are highly suspicious
for metastatic disease.
2. Multiple enlarged left hilar, lower paratracheal and upper
paratracheal
nodes are lymph node metastatic involvement.
3. There are no bone metastases.
4. Moderate-to-severe coronary artery calcification.
5. Mild centrilobular, paraseptal emphysema and mild diffuse
bronchial
thickening are likely smoking related.
___ CT ABD PELVIS WITH CONTRAST
1. 3.9 cm asymmetric right breast soft tissue mass seen at the
visualized
lower thorax. Correlation with mammography and clinical exam is
recommended.
2. 5.5 cm irregular soft tissue attenuation mass abutting the
posterior
pleural surface in the left lower lobe. Few epicardial lymph
nodes identified on the visualized lung bases.
3. Innumerable ill-defined hypodense masses throughout the liver
parenchyma, in keeping with diffuse metastases.
4. Pancreatic head is heterogenous in attenuation. No
pancreatic ductal
dilatation. Metastases or primary pancreatic neoplasm is not
excluded.
5. 7 mm hyperdense lesion at the pancreatic body may relate to
interdigitation of fat versus a small cystic lesion such as
IPMN.
6. 1.1 cm rounded lesion at the lateral limb of the left adrenal
gland is
suspicious for metastatic deposit.
7. No lymphadenopathy. No evidence of osseous metastases in the
abdomen and pelvis.
___ PORTABLE CXR
Single frontal view of the chest. Left PICC terminates in the
lower SVC.
Heart size and cardiomediastinal contours are stable. Lung
volumes have
slightly improved, though still hypoinflated. There is
bibasilar atelectasis without focal consolidation, pleural
effusion, or pneumothorax.
___ CXR
A left-sided PICC line terminates at the cavoatrial junction.
The
lung volumes are low with mild relative elevation of the right
hemidiaphragm that appears unchanged. The cardiac, mediastinal,
and hilar contours appear stable including mediastinal and left
hilar lymphadenopathy. There is no definite pleural effusion or
pneumothorax. There is a persistent medial left basilar opacity
with a rounded contour, suggesting a pleural-based mass
concerning for malignancy. Smaller nodules are not well
depicted on radiographs.
IMPRESSION: Stable appearance of the chest including
lymphadenopathy and a left lower lobe opacity worrisome for
malignancy.
___ RUQ ULTRASOUND (prelim)
1. Diffusely infiltrative hepatic metastases were better
delineated on recent CT
2. No visualized flow in the left portal vein. This vessel,
which was atretic on the recent CT, is likely being compressed
by adjacent metastases.

Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ woman with history of breast and ovarian cancer with new
breast, liver and lung masses. For staging, an planning for biopsy of mass.
COMPARISON: No prior CT abdomen is available for comparison.
TECHNIQUE: Multi detector CT imaging was of the abdomen and pelvis was
performed prior to and following intravenous contrast administration.
Multiplanar reformats were also obtained. Oral contrast was administered.
DOSE: DLP of 1250.50 mGy-cm
FINDINGS:
ABDOMEN:
A 3.9 x 3.8 cm asymmetric right breast soft tissue mass is identified (3:1,
13:1). Prominent reticulations are identified at the lung bases, which may
relate to chronic inflammatory change or fibrosis. A 5.5 x 2.9 cm irregular
soft tissue attenuation mass is identified abutting the posterior pleural
surface in the left lower lobe (6:41, 13:13). A few epicardial lymph nodes
are identified on the visualized lung bases (13:6). There is evidence of
background centrilobular emphysema. Please refer to the CT chest from the
same day for further details.
The liver demonstrates innumerable ill-defined hypodense masses throughout its
parenchyma. Some of the subcapsular masses result in bulging of the liver
contour (13:30). These are in keeping with diffuse metastatic deposits. The
portal veins remains patent. Hepatic veins are also patent however, there is
mass effect at the confluence of the right and middle hepatic vein with a
focal mass (06:44). The gallbladder is not visualized. No intrahepatic or
extrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation. A 7 mm hypodense lesion is identified
at the pancreatic body (6:66), which may relate to interdigitation of fat
versus a small cystic lesion such as IPMN. The pancreatic head is slightly
heterogenous in attenuation (6:67). No pancreatic ductal dilatation is noted.
A 1.1 cm rounded lesion is identified at the lateral limb of the left adrenal
gland (06:50). The right adrenal gland is unremarkable. The spleen is
unremarkable. The right kidney is slightly malrotated. No suspicious renal
lesions are identified. A tiny 6 mm hyperdense lesion is identified in the
interpolar region of the left kidney (13:34), too small to characterize,
however likely related to simple cyst. No hydronephrosis. The caliber of
small and large bowel is within normal limits. No mesenteric or
retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. Moderate atheromatous calcification of the
abdominal aorta is noted, predominately at the infrarenal level.
PELVIS:
Urinary bladder is unremarkable. There is evidence of moderate colonic
diverticulosis, however no diverticulitis is identified. No pelvic free
fluid. No inguinal or pelvic lymphadenopathy.
OSSEOUS STRUCTURES:
Mild S-shape scoliosis of the spine is noted. No suspicious osteolytic or
osteoblastic lesions are identified. Mild to moderate facet degenerative
changes are identified at the L5-S1 level.
IMPRESSION:
1. 3.9 cm asymmetric right breast soft tissue mass seen at the visualized
lower thorax. Correlation with mammography and clinical exam is recommended.
2. 5.5 cm irregular soft tissue attenuation mass abutting the posterior
pleural surface in the left lower lobe. Few epicardial lymph nodes identified
on the visualized lung bases. Please refer to the CT chest from the same day
for further details.
3. Innumerable ill-defined hypodense masses throughout the liver parenchyma,
in keeping with diffuse metastases.
4. Pancreatic head is heterogenous in attenuation. No pancreatic ductal
dilatation. Metastases or primary pancreatic neoplasm is not excluded.
5. 7 mm hyperdense lesion at the pancreatic body may relate to interdigitation
of fat versus a small cystic lesion such as IPMN.
6. 1.1 cm rounded lesion at the lateral limb of the left adrenal gland is
suspicious for metastatic deposit.
7. No lymphadenopathy. No evidence of osseous metastases in the abdomen and
pelvis.
Radiology Report
REASON FOR EXAM: ___ years old woman with history of breast cancer and ovarian
cancer with new breast cancer and liver and lung masses. Staging, planning
for biopsy of masses.
TECHNIQUE: Multi-detector helical scanning of the chest during the infusion
of Omnipaque non-ionic contrast material agent. Images were reconstructed as
contiguous 5- and 1-mm thick axial helical, 5-mm thick coronal and
parasagittal, and 8 x 8 mm MIPs projections.
RADIATION DOSE: The total DLP is reported in concurrent CT abdomen and
pelvis.
COMPARISON: Exam is compared to chest CT of ___.
FINDINGS: Asymmetric enlargement of the right thyroid lobe with small
hypodense thyroid nodules ranging up to 5 mm (series 6: Image 5) is
compatible with multinodular goiter. Fluid density lesion in the right breast
measure 2 x 1.5 cm (6:25).
There are no pathologically enlarged lymph nodes in the axillary region. A
left supraclavicular node (6:3) is 7 x 11 mm; left upper paratracheal node
(6:9) is 9 x 13 mm; right upper paratracheal node (6:11) is 13 x 11 mm; right
lower paratracheal node (6:17) is 18 x 19 mm; prevascular node (6:24) is 9 x
11 mm. Subcarinal node (6:23) is 17 x 22 mm. Left hilar node (6:23) is 15 x
32 mm. Second left hilar node, 6:24, is 19 x 22 mm; left paraesophageal node
(6:24) is 14 x 19 mm. Supradiaphragmatic node (6:35 has short axis of 5 mm).
Ascending aorta is top normal, measuring 3.7 cm, main pulmonary artery is
normal. Heart size is normal. Moderate-to-severe coronary artery
calcifications involve all three coronary arteries (6:26). There is no
pericardial effusion or pleural effusion.
Multiple hypodense liver lesions are described in report of concurrent CT
abdomen and pelvis, clip ___. Small hiatal hernia (6:39).
BONES: T2 and T9 lytic lesion with sclerotic margin (series 6: Image 6 and
37) are compatible with Schmorl's nodes.
LUNGS AND AIRWAYS: Airways are patent to the subsegmental level bilaterally.
Lobulated and irregularly marginated pleural-based solid nodule in the
posterobasal segment of the left lower lobe (7:184) is 3.4 x 5.3 cm, and
highly suspicious of metastatic lesion. 6 mm solid subpleural nodule is in the
right lower lobe (7:143). 10 x 12 mm solid nodule is in the apicoposterior
segment of the left upper lobe (7:79). These two nodules are also presumed
metastasis. Mild centrilobular emphysema, upper lobe predominant and mild
diffuse bronchial wall thickening are likely smoking related.
IMPRESSION:
1. Large 3.4 x 5.3 cm left lower lobe lesion, along with left upper lobe and
right lower lobe nodules are highly suspicious for metastatic disease.
2. Multiple enlarged left hilar, lower paratracheal and upper paratracheal
nodes are lymph node metastatic involvement.
3. There are no bone metastases.
4. Moderate-to-severe coronary artery calcification.
5. Mild centrilobular, paraseptal emphysema and mild diffuse bronchial
thickening are likely smoking related.
6. Please refer to concurrent CT abdomen and pelvis for detailed description
of abdominal findings.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: Left PICC placement.
COMPARISON: ___.
FINDINGS: Again seen is the opacity at the left medial lower hemithorax which
on prior study may represent a lesion at the costophrenic angle. The left
PICC ends in the left brachiocephalic vein. There may be mild increase in
interstitial markings. Heart size is normal. The cardiomediastinal and hilar
contours are normal. No pleural effusion or pneumothorax is seen.
IMPRESSION: Left PICC ends in the left brachiocephalic vein. Again seen is
opacity overlying the left lower hemithorax medially consistent with known
mass. Mild interstitial opacities are decreased from prior study and may
represent resolving edema.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: Left PICC.
COMPARISON: ___ at 12:24 p.m.
FINDINGS: The left PICC has been advanced and now ends at the confluence of
the left and right brachiocephalic veins. Lung volumes are significantly
lower, which crowd pulmonary vasculature. Previously seen mass at the left
lung base is not as well seen on this study due to the low lung volumes. The
cardiomediastinal and hilar contours are normal. There is no pneumothorax.
IMPRESSION: Left PICC now ends at the confluence of the brachiocephalic
veins.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: Power PICC exchange.
COMPARISON: Multiple prior chest radiographs, most recently ___ at
13:08.
FINDINGS:
Single frontal view of the chest. Left PICC terminates in the lower SVC.
Heart size and cardiomediastinal contours are stable. Lung volumes have
slightly improved, though still hypoinflated. There is bibasilar atelectasis
without focal consolidation, pleural effusion, or pneumothorax.
IMPRESSION:
Left PICC terminates in the lower SVC.
Radiology Report
CHEST RADIOGRAPH
HISTORY: Question metastatic breast cancer to lungs and liver with new
hypoxia.
COMPARISONS: ___.
TECHNIQUE: Chest, portable AP semi-upright.
FINDINGS: A left-sided PICC line terminates at the cavoatrial junction. The
lung volumes are low with mild relative elevation of the right hemidiaphragm
that appears unchanged. The cardiac, mediastinal, and hilar contours appear
stable including mediastinal and left hilar lymphadenopathy. There is no
definite pleural effusion or pneumothorax. There is a persistent medial left
basilar opacity with a rounded contour, suggesting a pleural-based mass
concerning for malignancy. Smaller nodules are not well depicted on
radiographs.
IMPRESSION: Stable appearance of the chest including lymphadenopathy and a
left lower lobe opacity worrisome for malignancy.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: LIVER OR GALLBLADDER US (SINGLE ORGAN)
INDICATION: RUQ US with Doppler. Evaluate structure, bile ducts, patency
TECHNIQUE: Grey scale and Doppler ultrasound images of the abdomen were
obtained.
COMPARISON: CT abdomen pelvis ___
FINDINGS:
LIVER: The liver has a markedly heterogeneous echotexture. Several hypoechoic
masses correspond to the diffuse metastases which were better seen on the
recent CT. There is no ascites.
BILE DUCTS: There is no intrahepatic biliary dilatation. The CBD measures 7
mm.
LIVER DOPPLER:
PORTAL VEINS: The main, anterior right, and posterior right portal veins are
patent with normal color Doppler and appropriate hepatopetal flow. The no flow
in the left portal vein is visualized. This vessel is atretic on the recent
CT.
MAIN HEPATIC ARTERY: Patent with normal Doppler waveform.
HEPATIC VEINS: The right, middle, and left hepatic veins are patent with
appropriate hepatofugal flow.
IMPRESSION:
1. Diffusely infiltrative hepatic metastases were better delineated on recent
CT
2. No visualized flow in the left portal vein. This vessel, which was atretic
on the recent CT, is likely being compressed by adjacent metastases.

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT CHEST W/O CONTRAST
INDICATION: ___ year old woman with tracheal stenosis and recent stent removal
presents with dyspnea
TECHNIQUE: Multidetector helical scanning of the chest was performed without
intravenous contrast agent reconstructed as contiguous 5- and 1.25-mm thick
axial, 2.5-mm thick coronal and parasagittal, and 8 x 8 mm MIPs axial images.
Images were obtained at end inspiration.
DOSE: This study involved 3 CT acquisition phases with dose indices as
follows:
1) CT Localizer Radiograph
2) CT Localizer Radiograph
3) Spiral Acquisition 5.0 s, 39.1 cm; CTDIvol = 18.0 mGy (Body) DLP = 704.2
mGy-cm.
Total DLP (Body) = 704 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: CT trachea dated ___, CT chest dated ___.
FINDINGS:
The thyroid is heterogeneous and diffusely enlarged with a dominant 1.0 cm
hypodense nodule in the right lobe (03:21), unchanged from ___. As before,
the inferior aspect of the thyroid encircles the anterior aspect of the
trachea. Supraclavicular, axillary, mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes are not
enlarged. Aorta and pulmonary arteries are normal size. Cardiac configuration
is normal and there is no appreciable coronary artery calcification.
There is no evidence of pericardial effusion. No pneumothorax or pleural
effusion is identified. Lung windows demonstrate mild dependent bibasilar
atelectasis.
The patient is status post interval removal of a tracheal stent. At
approximately 2.5 cm below the level of the vocal cords, there is a 3 cm long
segment of relatively smooth tracheal narrowing with associated marked
circumferential wall thickening, measuring up to 6 mm in thickness. The
minimum diameter of the tracheal lumen is noted to be 5 mm within the stenotic
segment (4:85) with a cross-sectional diameter of 50 mm2, as compared to 15 mm
more inferiorly at the level of the aortic arch with a cross sectional
diameter of 211 mm2. While the majority of the tracheal narrowing is smooth,
a single focal linear opacity within the left lateral aspect of the tracheal
lumen may reflect linear secretion (4:93). Otherwise, no additional
endoluminal secretions are identified. Remainder of the airways are patent to
the level of the segmental bronchi bilaterally.
No suspicious osseous lesions are identified. This examination is not tailored
for the evaluation of subdiaphragmatic contents. Within this limitation, the
included portions of the upper abdomen demonstrate a small hiatal hernia and
diffuse low-attenuation of the liver.

Final Report
EXAMINATION: CTA chest and CT abdomen and pelvis with contrast
INDICATION: Wedge-shaped density in the left base on
radiograph. Epigastric
pain with radiation to the back and left side. Nausea without
emesis.
TECHNIQUE: Axial helical multi detector CT images were acquired
of the chest,
abdomen and pelvis after the intravenous administration of
contrast. Chest
images were acquired in the arterial phase. Abdomen and pelvis
images were
acquired in the portal venous phase. Multiplanar reformats were
generated in
the coronal and sagittal planes. Chest images were additionally
reformatted
into bilateral oblique maximum intensity projection images.
DOSE: 767.29 mGy cm
COMPARISON: Chest radiograph ___.
FINDINGS:
CTA chest: The thyroid is not evaluable due to extensive beam
hardening
artifact from adjacent venous contrast material.
Heart size is normal with trace pericardial fluid. Thoracic
aortic arch and
main pulmonary arteries are normal caliber. No evidence of
aortic dissection
or aneurysm. Nonobstructive pulmonary embolus leads from the
distal left main
pulmonary artery into the mid left lower lobar pulmonary artery
(28:49, 50,
51, 601b:34 though the distal branches are well opacified.
Remainder of the
pulmonary tree is well opacified to the subsegmental level
without evidence of
additional embolic focus. No CT evidence of right heart strain.
Supraclavicular, axillary, hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes are
not
pathologically enlarged.
Distal bilateral lower lobe bronchi are mildly ectatic, with
mild segmental
bronchiectasis in the left lower lobe. There are scattered areas
of left lower
lobe segmental airways bronchial impaction with surrounding
peribronchial
consolidation and ground-glass in. Right base atelectasis is
trace. No
pulmonary infarct. Two subpleural nodules in the anterior
segment of the right
upper lobe measure 3 mm (3:114, 121). Tree in ___ nodularity is
peripherally
focal in the posterior base of the right upper lobe (3:99). No
pleural
effusion or pneumothorax.
Hiatal hernia is small. Esophagus is mildly ectatic.
CT abdomen with contrast: Liver enhances homogeneously without
focal mass or
biliary dilatation. Gallbladder is normal. Portal vein is
patent.
Spleen, pancreas and adrenal glands are normal.
Kidneys present symmetric nephrograms and excretion of contrast
without focal
mass, hydronephrosis or perinephric abnormality.
Stomach, duodenum and remainder of the small bowel is normal
caliber without
obstruction. Sigmoid colon is redundant. Large bowel is
collapsed distally,
thin walled without pericolonic fat stranding or fluid
collection.
Abdominal aorta is normal caliber with focally moderate as
sclerotic calcific
burden distally into the iliacs. Mesenteric and retroperitoneal
lymph nodes
are not enlarged. Diffuse mesenteric fat stranding is in keeping
with the
superficial soft tissue fat stranding compatible with trace
anasarca. No
ascites, pneumoperitoneum or ventral abdominal hernia.
CT pelvis with contrast: Bladder is prominently distended.
Uterus and rectum
are unremarkable. Ovaries are not definitively characterized. No
free pelvic
fluid or air. Inguinal and pelvic sidewall lymph nodes are not
enlarged.
Calcifications in the gluteal soft tissues are consistent with
injection
granuloma.
Bones and soft tissues: Vertebral body hemangioma involves the
T6 vertebral
body. No suspicious focal bone lesion. Thoracolumbar
degenerative changes are
focally moderate in the lumbar spine, most prominent at L5-S1.
Thoracic
dextrocurvature is minimal. Lumbar levocurvature is minimal.
IMPRESSION:
1. Nonobstructing pulmonary embolus extending from the distal
left main
pulmonary artery to the distal left lower lobar pulmonary
artery. No
associated pulmonary infarct. No CT evidence of right heart
strain.
2. No acute aortic abnormality.
3. Left lower lobe bronchiectasis with focal areas of mucous
impaction and
peribronchial consolidations along with ___ nodularity
at the base of
the right upper lobe in the setting of a small hiatal hernia
with mildly
ectatic esophagus, this most likely represents multifocal
aspiration
pneumonia. Ectatic esophagus and hiatal hernia can be further
evaluated with
nonemergent barium esophagram, if clinically indicated.
4. Two 3 mm subpleural nodules in the right upper lobe lack
suspicious
features. These do not require followup in the absence of high
risk factors.
If high risk factors, such as smoking are present, followup CT
in ___ year is
advised per ___ recommendations.
5. No acute findings in the abdomen or pelvis.
6. Trace, diffuse mesenteric fat and superficial soft tissue

Followup Instructions:
___
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST
INDICATION: ___ with renal cell cancer and dural met, with headache, evaluate
brain mass, ICH.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images from skullbase to vertex were obtained
without intravenous contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformats were also
performed.
DOSE: Total DLP (Head) = 892 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: None available.
FINDINGS:
Three hyperdense foci are identified, all of which are intimately associated
with the dura. A right frontal lesion measures approximately 2.0 x 0.8 cm
with an associated bone defect suggesting metastatic disease (___). A
similar larger lesion is seen superior to this measuring approximately 2.5 x
0.6 cm, with a larger associated bony defect. This likely represents an
additional metastatic lesion. A rounded hyperdensity arises from the the left
aspect of the falx, measuring 1.4 x 1.0 cm (02:23). All 3 of these lesions
appear to be metastatic, however prior images are not available for comparison
to establish chronicity or interval growth.
There is no intra-axial or extra-axial hemorrhage, midline shift, or acute
major vascular territorial infarct. Gray-white matter differentiation is
preserved. Ventricles are symmetric and unremarkable. Basilar cisterns are
patent.
Included paranasal sinuses and mastoids are clear.
IMPRESSION:
1. Three dural-based hyperdense metastatic lesions identified within the head.
Correlation with prior imaging (not available at the time of this
interpretation) is required to evaluate for chronicity or interval growth.
2. No evidence of infarction, hemorrhage, or edema.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CTA CHEST WANDW/O CANDRECONS, NON-CORONARY
INDICATION: ___ with metastatic renal cell cancer, lung mets, also bilateral
PE, with increased SOB x 3 days evaluate for worsening PE, interval change in
lung mets.
TECHNIQUE: Axial multidetector CT images were obtained through the thorax
after the uneventful administration of 100 cc of Omnipaque intravenous
contrast.
Reformatted coronal, sagittal, thin slice axial images, and oblique maximal
intensity projection images were submitted to PACS and reviewed.
Total DLP (Body) = 975 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: CT of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis dated ___, and
chest CT dated ___.
FINDINGS:
Extensive metastatic disease has increased compared with the immediate prior
study, in size and extent. Destructive osseous lesions are identified
involving the right scapula (8.7 x 7.6 cm 5:37, previously 7.6 x 5.8 cm), the
sternum (05:59), multiple ribs bilaterally with the largest rib lesions in the
right third rib (5.4 x 4.3 cm 5:30, previously 3.6 x 2.5 cm) and the right
ninth rib (7.7 x 4.8 cm 5:112, previously 7.0 x 5.0 cm). Multiple lytic
lesions are noted within the spine as well, most prominently at T6-T8
(601b:46, 48). Additional ill-defined soft tissue metastases are seen at the
level of the thoracic inlet measuring approximately 7.7 x 4.0 cm (5:1), and
throughout the subcutaneous tissues of the thorax (5: 32, 71, 75, 81, 86, 93,
112, et al.). Extensive mediastinal, hilar, and retroesophageal
lymphadenopathy has increased as well. Innumerable pulmonary parenchymal
metastasis also appear to increased size. Bilateral adrenal metastases, and
extensive periaortic and celiac axis adenopathy are also more prominent than
on the prior study.
The aorta is normal in course and caliber.
Evaluation for pulmonary emboli is very limited due to poor bolus timing in
spite of attempting a repeat bolus. Coalescent hilar masses appear to extend
as tumor thrombus into the lower lobe segmental arteries bilaterally. This
finding was present on the prior study but is more extensive, now with a small
right pleural effusion and a moderate left pleural effusion with associated
compressive atelectasis of the left lower lobe. There is no evidence of
pericardial effusion.
IMPRESSION:
1. Interval increase in the number and size of innumerable metastatic lesions
to the bones, soft tissues, and pulmonary parenchyma.
2. Coalescent hilar adenopathy extends into the lower lobe vasculature as
tumor thrombus bilaterally with new pleural effusions and associated
compressive atelectasis bilaterally, left greater than right.
3. Limited evaluation for pulmonary emboli due to poor bolus timing.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W/O CONTRAST
INDICATION: ___ year old man with progressive metastatic renal cell carcinoma
with new neurological symptoms and evidence of dural mets on CT head //
Evaluate for metastatic disease
TECHNIQUE: Images were obtained, axial FLAIR, axial T2, axial magnetic
susceptibility and axial diffusion-weighted images.
COMPARISON: Head CT dated ___.
FINDINGS:
Limited examination without contrast. There is an unchanged oval-shaped 9 x
12 mm left parafalcine extra-axial lesion, abutting the sulci with no
significant mass effect (image number 19, series 12 and 13), there is no
evidence of vasogenic edema. Additionally there is a calvarial lesion on the
right frontal region, abutting the dura at the right frontal lobe, previously
demonstrated by CT. The skullbase is notable for focal lesion in the right
clivus (image number 5, series 12), measuring approximately 11 x 13 mm in
transverse dimension, a similar lesion is identified in the left temporal
mandibular condyle (image 4, series 12) measuring approximately 6 by 5 mm in
transverse dimension. There is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage, the
ventricles are normal in size and configuration for the patient's age. The
major vascular flow voids are present and demonstrate normal distribution.
The orbits are unremarkable, the paranasal sinuses are clear as well as the
mastoid air cells.
IMPRESSION:
Unchanged oval-shaped extra-axial parafalcine lesion in the left convexity,
associated with other lesions as described above involving the frontal
calvarium, right side of the clivus and left temporomandibular condyle,
consistent with metastatic disease, the examination is limited without
contrast.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MRI THORACIC AND LUMBAR
INDICATION: ___ year old man with progressive metastatic renal cell carcinoma
with new bladder symptoms // metastatic disease.
TECHNIQUE: Sagittal imaging was performed with T2, T1, and STIR technique.
Axial T1 and T2 imaging was performed.
Please note that the patient had anxiety/shortness of breath, and asked to be
removed from the scanner, before IV contrast could be administered. I was
called to the MRI scanner, vitals were stable, and after discussion with Dr.
___ patient was given Albuterol inhaler, which provided symptomatic
relief to the patient. The patient was then transferred to the care of the
EMT's for transport to the ___. P. ___.
COMPARISON: CT chest abdomen and pelvis from ___
FINDINGS:
Thoracic spine: Spine labeling has been provided on series 26, image 7.
Although this study is limited by the lack of IV contrast, new metastatic
disease is seen involving T7, T8, and T9 vertebral bodies compared to the
prior CT from ___. Metastases to T6 appears similar to the prior
exam. Mild compression of the anterior and middle column of T6 is also
similar to the prior exam. There is no evidence of retropulsion of fragments.
There is no increased T2 or STIR signal to suggest acuity of the fracture.
Involvement of metastatic disease with T12 also appears to be new compared to
the prior exam however lack of increased T2/stir signal suggests that this may
be subacute in nature. Although no definite cord signal abnormalities are
identified, extensive soft tissue is seen extending into the spinal canal and
left neural foramen, causing mass effect on the spinal cord.
Incompletely evaluated are the patient's posterior chest wall masses. For
example at the level of T6/T7, there is a posterior chest wall mass which
measures 1.3 cm x 2.6 cm, series 28, image 27, increased in size compared to
the prior exam.
Incidental note is made of multiple lung metastases, also incompletely
evaluated on this exam.
Lumbar spine: Extensive metastatic disease is again seen involving the
vertebral bodies of the lumbar spine. Pathologic fragmentation of the L3
vertebral body is re- demonstrated. No definite cord abnormalities are
identified. The cauda equina appears to be unremarkable. Multiple soft
tissue retroperitoneal lesions are seen, also incompletely evaluated on this
exam.
Multiple retroperitoneal metastatic lesions are incompletely evaluated on this
exam.
IMPRESSION:
1. Overall, extensive metastatic disease is re- demonstrated throughout the
thoracic a lumbar spine. New metastatic involvement is seen involving T7, T8,
and T9 vertebral bodies compared to the prior CT from ___.
2. Involvement of metastatic disease with T12 also appears to be new compared
to the prior exam. Although no definite cord signal abnormalities are
identified, extensive soft tissue is seen extending into the spinal canal, and
left neural foramen causing mass effect on the spinal cord. However, please
note that this study is limited due to lack of IV contrast.
3. Extensive metastatic disease is re- demonstrated involving the vertebral
bodies the lumbar spine, including pathologic fragmentation of the L3
vertebral body. No definite cord abnormalities identified within lumbar spine.
4. Although evaluation of the posterior chest wall masses is limited on this
exam, there appears to be progression of disease. A dedicated chest CT could
be helpful for further evaluation.

It was our pleasure taking care of you at the ___
___!
WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO THE HOSPITAL?
- You were having recurrent nausea and vomiting after eating.
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE HOSPITAL?
- The Cardiologists saw you in the Emergency Department. They do
not think the nausea and vomiting were related to your cardiac
issues. However, they do think you would benefit from a stress
test in the future.
- Our Gastroenterologists saw you for your nausea and vomiting
with meals.
- You underwent a CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis, which did
not show any significant abnormality.
- Overall, the reason for your nausea and vomiting could not be
determined; there is some concern that it may be related to your
digoxin. You will need to come back for an
esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), which is when a special camera
is inserted down the esophagus to examine your stomach and small
bowel. This will help determine the cause of your
nausea/vomiting with eating.
- You were given medications to treat your nausea and vomiting,
which helped you eat without vomiting. This can be taken as
needed.
- You underwent dialysis based on your regular schedule.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO ONCE YOU GO HOME?
- Please take your medications as prescribed and attend your
doctor's appointments.
Please DO NOT TAKE your digoxin.
- Please follow up with the Gastroenterologists. You can call
___ to make a follow-up appointment for the EGD.
- Please follow up with the Cardiologists for a repeat stress
test.
We wish you all the best!

Radiology Report
INDICATION: History: ___ with R hip pain, known acetabular fx // eval
fracture pattern, ? occult pelvic fx
TECHNIQUE:
Contiguous thin section helically acquired images were obtained through
thepelvis, from iliac crest to the proximal femoral and reconstructed using
both bone and soft tissue algorithm. Coronal and sagittal reformats were also
generated.
DOSE: DLP 1322.59 mGy-cm
COMPARISON: Pelvis radiographs dated ___
FINDINGS:
The patient is status post ORIF of an old healed fracture of the right
proximal femur, transfixed by short IM rod and femoral neck screw. There is
surrounding metal artifact. Allowing for this, no hardware displacement or
loosening is detected. No proximal femur fracture is seen.
There is a highly comminuted fracture of the right acetabulum with components
involving the anterior column, roof, posterior column, and anterior-posterior
walls. While many of these fractures are minimally displaced, there is a
fragment involving much of the quadrilateral plate, that shows full-thickness
displacement into the pelvis anteriorly. There is calcification at the base of
the pulvinar (8:74). A tiny fragment is seen along the superior posterior
lateral femoral head, in the joint space (3:62). Otherwise, no intra-articular
components are identified. Narrowing of the joint space likely reflects
background degenerative change.
In addition, there is fracture of the right parasymphyseal superior pubic
ramus (500 b: 43). Minimal irregularity along the inferior pubic ramus could
also represent an acute nondisplaced fracture (3:94). There is a small to
moderate high density right femora is joint effusion. There is soft tissue
swelling seen in the musculature surrounding the acetabulum.
No other fractures are detected about the pelvic girdle or in the visualized
portion of the left proximal femur. No sacral fracture and no SI joint or
pubic symphysis diastasis is seen. There is mild degenerative narrowing of the
left hip.
Note is made of a small to moderate size left inguinal hernia, containing
bowel. No dilated loops of bowel to suggest obstruction or identified. There
is also a small right inguinal hernia, which likely also contains a small
amount bowel.
The prostate is massively enlarged. The bladder wall is thickened even in the
setting of latter dilatation.
No free fluid is identified, though there is stranding in the perirectal
region (4:76) and hazy density in the bowel in the right lower quadrant
(04:45).
There is dense vascular calcification.
There are advanced degenerative changes in the lower lumbar spine, with disc
space narrowing and disc bulging seen at the presumptive L4/5 and L5/S1 disc
levels, with associated neural foraminal narrowing.
No focal lytic or sclerotic lesion suggestive of metastasis is identified.
IMPRESSION:
1. Comminuted fracture of the the right acetabulum, with involvement of almost
the entire acetabulum. Interior displacement the anterior portion of the major
quadrilateral fragment. 2 tiny calcific densities seen within the
femoroacetabular joint, detailed above.
2. Fractures of the right parasymphyseal superior pubic ramus and probably
also a nondisplaced fracture of the right inferior pubic ramus.
3. Status post ORIF old healed right proximal femur fracture. No hardware
loosening or displacement identified.
4. Bilateral bowel containing hernias, left larger than right. No dilated
loops to suggest obstruction.
5. Non-specific soft tissue stranding in the perirectal region and in the
right lower quadrant of the abdomen.
6. Marked enlargement of the prostate, with bladder wall thickening. Clinical
correlation is requested.

It was a pleasure to be a part of your care team at ___
___. You were admitted to the hospital
because your blood count was very low. You had an endoscopy,
which showed some ulcers in your stomach, which is probably
where the bleeding was from. You should continue to take a new
medication called pantoprazole, which will help to heal your
stomach. We also think that you should be tested for a bacteria
called H. pylori which can cause these ulcers, and that you
should have another endoscopy in 2 months to see if these ulcers
are healing.
Please see below for your medications.
Again, it was very nice to meet you, and we wish you the best.
Sincerely,
Your ___ Care Team |

CXR FINDINGS: AP and lateral views of the chest were provided.
There is no consolidation, effusion, or pneumothorax. Mild
scoliosis is again noted. The cardiomediastinal silhouette
appears normal. Bony structures are intact. Within the imaged
portion of the upper abdomen, a metallic stent is partially
imaged
Final Report
HISTORY: ___ woman status post fall with head strike,
here to
evaluate for acute cervical spine injury.
COMPARISON: No prior studies available.
TECHNIQUE: Multidetector CT axial imaging of the cervical spine
was obtained
without intravenous contrast. Multiplanar reformatted images
were generated
and reviewed.
FINDINGS:
There is no evidence of acute fracture of the cervical spine.
There is 2 mm
anterolisthesis of C3 on C4 and 2mm retrolisthesis of C5 on its
neighbors,
which is likely chronic and degenerative in etiology given
multilevel
degenerative changes of the cervical spine. No prevertebral or
paraspinal
soft tissue swelling or large hematoma is detected. The
vertebral body
heights are grossly preserved. The atlanto- occipital and
-axial
articulations are maintained.
Multilevel moderate degenerative disease of the cervical spine
are noted.
There is complete fusion of the right and near-complete fusion
of the left C2
and C3 facets. There is multilevel bilateral facet joint
disease. Loss of
intervertebral disc space, endplate sclerosis and osteophyte
formation is most
pronounced from C4 to T1 with the worst level at C5-6.
The imaged lung apices demonstrate mild biapical scarring. The
thyroid gland
is slightly heterogeneous with a coarse calcification in the
right lobe
(02:54) but no dominant nodule identified.
IMPRESSION:
1. No acute fracture of the cervical spine.
2. Multilevel malalignment with 2 mm anterolisthesis of C3 on
C4 and
retrolisthesis of C5 on its neighbors, likely chronic and
degenerative given
the multilevel, multifactorial degenerative disease throughout
the cervical
spine.
NOTE ADDED IN ATTENDING REVIEW: There is significant narrowing
of the ventral
canal with effacement of the thecal sac and indentation of the
right ventral
aspect of the cord, due to a lobulated disc herniation at the
level of the
C4-5 retrolisthesis (2:33, 602b:9). This places the patient at
at further risk
of spinal cord injury, with appropriate traumatic mechanism, and
should be
closely correlated with any clinical evidence of new myelopathy.
The study and the report were reviewed by the staff radiologist.
Final Report
HISTORY: ___ woman status post fall with head strike;
evaluate for
acute intracranial hemorrhage.
COMPARISON: No prior studies available.
TECHNIQUE: Multidetector CT axial imaging of the head was
obtained without
intravenous contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformatted images
as well as thin
section images in a bone window algorithm were generated and
reviewed.
DLP: 1,154 mGy-cm.
FINDINGS:
There is no evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage, edema,
mass effect or
shift of normally midline structures. The gray-white matter
interface is
preserved without evidence of acute major vascular territorial
infarct. The
ventricles and sulci are mildly enlarged compatible with age
related
parenchymal volume loss. The basal cisterns are patent.
Atherosclerotic
calcification of the bilateral carotid siphons is noted. The
orbits and
globes are unremarkable.
A left concha bullosa is incidentally noted. The visualized
paranasal sinuses
are well aerated. There is under pneumatization of the left
mastoid air cells
with dense sclerotic bone, which appears chronic. The bilateral
middle ear
cavities and right mastoid air cells are clear. The bony
calvaria appear
intact. No acute fracture is detected.
IMPRESSION:
1. No acute intracranial abnormality.
2. Global atrophy, likely age-related, and moderate sequelae of
chronic small
vessel ischemic disease.
The study and the report were reviewed by the staff radiologist.

There is no evidence of acute fracture of the cervical spine. There is 2 mm
anterolisthesis of C3 on C4 and 2mm retrolisthesis of C5 on its neighbors,
which is likely chronic and degenerative in etiology given multilevel
degenerative changes of the cervical spine. No prevertebral or paraspinal
soft tissue swelling or large hematoma is detected. The vertebral body
heights are grossly preserved. The atlanto- occipital and -axial
articulations are maintained.
Multilevel moderate degenerative disease of the cervical spine are noted.
There is complete fusion of the right and near-complete fusion of the left C2
and C3 facets. There is multilevel bilateral facet joint disease. Loss of
intervertebral disc space, endplate sclerosis and osteophyte formation is most
pronounced from C4 to T1 with the worst level at C5-6.
The imaged lung apices demonstrate mild biapical scarring. The thyroid gland
is slightly heterogeneous with a coarse calcification in the right lobe
(02:54) but no dominant nodule identified.
IMPRESSION:
1. No acute fracture of the cervical spine.
2. Multilevel malalignment with 2 mm anterolisthesis of C3 on C4 and
retrolisthesis of C5 on its neighbors, likely chronic and degenerative given
the multilevel, multifactorial degenerative disease throughout the cervical
spine.
NOTE ADDED IN ATTENDING REVIEW: There is significant narrowing of the ventral
canal with effacement of the thecal sac and indentation of the right ventral
aspect of the cord, due to a lobulated disc herniation at the level of the
C4-5 retrolisthesis (2:33, 602b:9). This places the patient at at further risk
of spinal cord injury, with appropriate traumatic mechanism, and should be
closely correlated with any clinical evidence of new myelopathy.

Total DLP (Head) = 803 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: Reference head CT ___ at 22:28
FINDINGS:
CT HEAD WITHOUT CONTRAST:
There is redemonstration of acute intraventricular hemorrhage layering
dependently in both lateral ventricles, similar to slightly increased in the
right lateral ventricle and more conspicuous on the left. There is
redemonstration of hyperdense hemorrhage along the right temporal lobe,
possibly subarachnoid with mild regional sulcal effacement, more conspicuous
on this exam. No acute infarction or midline shift. There is similar mild
prominence of the ventricles compared with ___, likely related to
involutional changes.
The visualized portion of the paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells,and middle
ear cavities are clear. The visualized portion of the orbits are normal, with
the exception of prior lens surgery.
CTA HEAD:
There is extensive calcified atherosclerotic plaque in the cavernous and
supraclinoid internal carotid arteries resulting in mild luminal irregularity
without high-grade stenosis. A 2 mm posteriorly projecting conical
outpouching of the left carotid terminus (series 3, image 253) demonstrates
small vessel arising from a compatible with an infundibulum. There is mild
focal narrowing at the origin of the left MCA. The vessels of the circle of
___ and their principal intracranial branches otherwise appear patent
without stenosis, occlusion, or aneurysm. The dural venous sinuses are
patent.
CTA NECK:
There are atherosclerotic calcifications along the aortic arch and origins of
the major vessels including the left common carotid and left subclavian
arteries resulting in mild to moderate right and mild left stenosis. There is
mild atherosclerotic stenosis at the origin of the left vertebral artery and
moderate atherosclerotic stenosis at the origin of the right vertebral artery.
Bilateral carotid and vertebral artery origins are otherwise patent.
The patient is status post right carotid endarterectomy. There is luminal
hyperplasia in the proximal right internal carotid artery results in
approximately 55% stenosis by NASCET criteria. Predominantly calcified
atherosclerotic plaque in the proximal left internal carotid artery results in
approximately 40% stenosis by NASCET criteria.
Both vertebral arteries are patent without evidence of occlusion or
dissection. There is mild calcified and noncalcified plaque in the left
greater than right V4 vertebral artery segments that results in mild luminal
irregularity without high-grade stenosis.
OTHER:
The visualized portion of the lungs are clear. The visualized portion of the
thyroid gland is within normal limits. There is no lymphadenopathy by CT size
criteria.
IMPRESSION:
1. Similar extent of intraventricular hemorrhage layering dependently in the
lateral ventricles, slightly more conspicuous in the left occipital horn since
the prior study and small amount of evolving subarachnoid hemorrhage in right
temporal sulci with mild regional edema. No significant mass effect, midline
shift or large territory infarction.
2. Stable ventricular size since the prior study from ___.
3. Atherosclerotic plaque of the bilateral intracranial ICA resulting in mild
left and mild-to-moderate right ICA stenosis.
4. Mild stenosis at the left MCA origin, likely related to atherosclerotic
disease.
5. Otherwise patent circle of ___ without evidence of high-grade
stenosis,occlusion,or aneurysm.
6. Atherosclerotic narrowing results in 40% stenosis of the left ICA by NASCET
criteria. Intimal hyperplasia results in resulting in 55% stenosis of the
right cervical internal carotid artery. The patient is status post right
carotid endarterectomy.
7. Mild-to-moderate atherosclerotic narrowing of the bilateral vertebral
artery origins and mild narrowing of the left subclavian artery origin.
8. Otherwise patent cervical and vertebral arteries without evidence of
occlusion, dissection or aneurysm.

who presents to ___ status-post fall with head strike. The
patient reports that she was getting out of bed around 3AM this
morning to go to the bathroom ("I have a bladder problem"), was
using her walker, and prior to getting to the bathroom fell
backwards hitting her head on the floor, which had a rug on it.
Mrs. ___
had no loss of consciousness before, during, or after the
incident, had no change in her vision, no chest pain, no
shortness of breath prior to the fall. She is unsure why she
fell, but does believe it is related to her baseline poor
balance. She subsequently called her emergency response line,
and was then taken to the ED by EMS. On presentation, the
patient was also complaining of "crushing" chest pain, and was
worked up by the ED for this.
Mrs. ___ is currently not complaining of any head pain, no
dizziness, no nausea or vomiting, no change in her
vision/hearing. She does have mild neck stiffness, however. Mrs.
___ has a history of recent falls. She reports falling at
least 4 times since ___ when she moved to her assisted
living facility. She participates in balance classes twice
weekly and does home exercises to improve her balance. At home
during the day she uses a cane to ambulate, and at night she
uses a walker or a walker with wheels. She is able to walk a
city block with a cane without having to stop and without losing
her
balance.

COMPARISON: None available.
TECHNIQUE: Right foot, three views.
FINDINGS: On the background of diffuse osteopenia, there is no evidence of
new fracture or dislocation. Deformity in the distal shaft of the fifth and
fourth metatarsals is due to healed fractures. Moderate-to-severe
degenerative changes are more pronounced at the first TMT and first MTP joint,
with resulting hallux valgus deformity. Inferior and posterior calcaneal
spurs are present. Vascular calcifications are noted in the posterior aspect
of the distal leg. There is no radiopaque foreign object.
IMPRESSION: No evidence of fracture. Deformity in the ___ and ___
metatarsals is due to old healed fractures. Moderate degenerative changes,
most pronounced at the first TMT and first MTP joint with resulting hallux
valgus.

IMAGING:
CTA chest (___):
1. Limited exam due to suboptimal opacification of the pulmonary
arteries
however acute pulmonary emboli are noted bilaterally including
lobar and
segmental branches on the right and segmental branches on the
left. No
evidence of right heart strain.
2. Small left pleural effusion with bibasilar consolidations may
reflect
atelectasis or aspiration.
3. Pneumobilia status post stent placement which is in
appropriate position.
4. Heterogeneous attenuation of the liver with new vague
hypodensity within
segment 6 of the liver is noted and given the short-term
development is
unlikely to represent metastases and may be perfusion
abnormality. Portal
veins are not assessed on this exam but the prior study
mentioned a possible
right portal venous thrombus.
5. Unchanged pancreatic head and neck mass with lymphadenopathy
in the
periportal, retroperitoneal and mesenteric stations.
6. Increasing moderate ascites.
EKG (___): Sinus tachycardia with prolonged QTc
CXR (___): Bibasilar opacities, likely representing
atelectasis on the right, however the opacities in the left
lower lung are slightly more confluent and may represent
atelectasis or pneumonia. Mild to moderate cardiomegaly.
LIVER U/S (___): Limited exam. Irregular liver suggesting
background cirrhosis. No focal defect identified but this is
not excluded
ERCP (___):
Scout film was showed a previously placed metal stent. No
plastic stent was seen. The common bile duct, common hepatic
duct, right and left hepatic ducts, and biliary radicles were
not filled with contrast. Only a few scattered intrahepatic
radicals were opacified after full injection cholangiography. A
single irregular stricture that was 2.5 cm long was seen from
the proximal end of the metal stent to the bifurcation extending
to both the R and L hepatic ducts. These findings are consistent
with a Bismuth type IV lesion. Scant biliary drainage was seen
endoscopically.
Radiologic interpretation:
I supervised the acquisition and interpretation of the
fluoroscopic images. The quality of the fluoroscopic images was
good.
Impression:
No plastic stent was seen.
The common bile duct, common hepatic duct, right and left
hepatic ducts, and biliary radicles were not filled with
contrast.
Only a few scattered intrahepatic radicals were opacified after
full injection cholangiography.
A single irregular stricture that was 2.5 cm long was seen from
the proximal end of the metal stent to the bifurcation extending
to both the R and L hepatic ducts.
These findings are consistent with a Bismuth type IV lesion.
Scant biliary drainage was seen endoscopically.
ERCP (___):
Impression: The scout film revealed a plastic and a metalic
biliary stent in place.
The plastic stent was removed using a polypectomy snare.
Contrast extended to the CBD and CHD and left IHD. Patency of
the metalic stent was noted.
A 3mm long stricture was seen above the stent in the proximal
CHD with mild post-obstructive dilation - likely from
porta-hepatis lymph nodes.
A 4mm Hurricane balloon was introduced through the guidewire for
dilation under flouroscopy successfully.
A ___ X 9cm double pig tailed plastic stent was placed
successfully traversing the proximal stricture.
Excellent bile and contrast drainage was seen endoscopically and
fluoroscopically.
Otherwise normal ercp to third part of the duodenum.

Radiology Report
INDICATION: History: ___ with dyspnea // PNA?
TECHNIQUE: AP view of the chest.
COMPARISON: ___.
FINDINGS:
There is bibasilar opacities, likely representing atelectasis on the right,
however the opacities in the left lower lung are slightly more confluent and
may represent atelectasis or pneumonia. No large pleural effusion or
pneumothorax. Mild to moderate cardiomegaly. The cardiomediastinal and hilar
contours are stable.
IMPRESSION:
Bibasilar opacities, likely representing atelectasis on the right, however the
opacities in the left lower lung are slightly more confluent and may represent
atelectasis or pneumonia. Mild to moderate cardiomegaly.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ year old man with pancreatic ca who c/o chest pain, shortness
of breath, has tachycardia, increased jaundice // evaluate for PE
TECHNIQUE: Axial multidetector CT images were obtained through the thorax
after the uneventful administration of 100 cc of Omnipaque intravenous
contrast. Subsequently delayed imaging was obtained through the abdomen and
pelvis.
Reformatted coronal, sagittal, thin slice axial images, and oblique maximal
intensity projection images were submitted to PACS and reviewed.
DOSE: DLP: 935.5 mGy-cm
COMPARISON: CT chest abdomen pelvis from ___.
FINDINGS:
CTA chest: The aorta and its major branch vessels are patent, with no evidence
of stenosis, occlusion, dissection, or aneurysmal formation. There is no
evidence of penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer or aortic arch atheroma present.
The study is very limited due to poor opacification of the pulmonary arteries
by contrast. Filling defects are seen within a right upper lobe segmental
branch (series 4P, image 59) right middle lobe lobar branch (series 4p, image
74) and within right lower lobe segmental branches (series 4p, image 91).
Filling defects are noted within the left upper lobe pulmonary artery
segmental branches (series 4p, image 43). There is no evidence of right heart
strain or pulmonary infarctions.
A 4 mm nodule in the right upper lobe is unchanged from the prior study. There
is there is a small left pleural effusion with left lower lobe consolidation,
likely atelectasis since slightly increased since the prior study. Right lower
lobe opacity may represent atelectasis or aspiration. Ground-glass opacities
within the right upper lobe have improved since the prior exam. A 6 mm right
middle lobe pulmonary nodule is unchanged since the prior study. The airways
are patent to the subsegmental levels.
No supraclavicular, axillary, mediastinal, or hilar lymphadenopathy. The
thyroid gland appears unremarkable.
CT ABDOMEN: The liver is nodular and shrunken. Pneumobilia is noted as can be
expected after biliary stent placement. There is new vague hypodensity within
segment 6 of the liver (series 9, image 42) not clearly visualized on the
prior exam. Given the short-term interval development this may represent
perfusion abnormality from possible right portal venous thrombosis as
described on the prior study. Vague hypodensity within segment 8 and 5 again
is noted. There is no intra or extrahepatic biliary dilatation. The common
bile duct stent is in appropriate position. The gallbladder remains
significantly distended. Hypoenhancing mass within the pancreatic head and
neck is unchanged measuring 3.9 x 3.0 cm. Multiple celiac axis,
retroperitoneal and periportal lymph nodes are again noted. The spleen is
enlarged measuring 16.5 cm, unchanged since the prior study. The left adrenal
gland is thickened and nodular. The right adrenal gland is unremarkable. The
kidneys enhance excrete contrast symmetrically without any focal lesions or
hydronephrosis. Stomach, small and intra-abdominal large bowel are grossly
unremarkable without evidence of obstruction. The plastic common bile duct
stent is noted within the sigmoid colon. There is no intraperitoneal free air.
Moderate amount of simple ascites has increased in the prior exam particularly
within the right pericolic gutter. The aorta is of normal caliber without
evidence of aneurysm.
CT PELVIS: The bladder is collapsed. Rectum is unremarkable. There is a
moderate amount of free fluid within the pelvis. There is no free air
lymphadenopathy.
No lytic or blastic osseous lesion suspicious for malignancy is identified.
IMPRESSION:
1. Limited exam due to suboptimal opacification of the pulmonary arteries
however acute pulmonary emboli are noted bilaterally including lobar and
segmental branches on the right and segmental branches on the left. No
evidence of right heart strain.
2. Small left pleural effusion with bibasilar consolidations may reflect
atelectasis or aspiration.
3. Pneumobilia status post stent placement which is in appropriate position.
4. Heterogeneous attenuation of the liver with new vague hypodensity within
segment 6 of the liver is noted and given the short-term development is
unlikely to represent metastases and may be perfusion abnormality. Portal
veins are not assessed on this exam but the prior study mentioned a possible
right portal venous thrombus.
5. Unchanged pancreatic head and neck mass with lymphadenopathy in the
periportal, retroperitoneal and mesenteric stations.
6. Increasing moderate ascites.
NOTIFICATION: These findings were communicated via telephone by Dr. ___
___ to Dr. ___ at 05:50 on ___, approximately 10 minutes after
review.

?acute intrapulmonary process ?PNA
IMPRESSION:
In comparison with the study of ___, the atelectatic changes at the right
base have improved. Left basilar opacification is again consistent with volume
loss in the left lower lobe and pleural effusion. In the appropriate clinical
setting, it would be difficult to exclude pneumonia in this region, especially
in the absence of a lateral view.
Continued enlargement of the cardiac silhouette without definite vascular
congestion.

=====================================
___ CTA
1. Evaluation of the distal subsegmental pulmonary arterial
branches supplying the bilateral lower lobes due to respiratory
motion artifact. Otherwise, no evidence of pulmonary embolism.
No acute aortic syndrome.
2. Emphysema dependent reticular opacities at the right lung
base, potentially atelectasis. Given chronicity, these could
represent sequelae of aspiration or infection in the appropriate
clinical setting.

partially imaged
however unchanged from prior exams, better evaluated on prior
dedicated
abdominal imaging.
CXR ___:
The cardiomediastinal silhouette is stable, reflective of mild
cardiomegaly. Lung volumes are slightly low. The hila are
unremarkable. Opacity at the medial right lung base is

COMPARISON: Chest x-ray ___.
FINDINGS:
The cardiomediastinal silhouette is stable, reflective of mild cardiomegaly.
Lung volumes are slightly low. The hila are unremarkable. Opacity at the
medial right lung base is unchanged and likely reflects atelectasis. Also re-
demonstrated is opacity at the left lung base appearing to involve the

Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ with SOB, hypoxia hypoT hx of cancer and HIV // concern for
PE, PCP PNA
TECHNIQUE: Axial multidetector CT images were obtained through the thorax
after the uneventful administration of intravenous contrast.
Reformatted coronal, sagittal, thin slice axial images, and oblique maximal
intensity projection images were submitted to PACS and reviewed.
DOSE: Total DLP (Body) = 497 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: CTA torso ___.
FINDINGS:
CTA THORAX: The aorta and major thoracic vessels are well opacified. The
aorta demonstrates normal caliber throughout the chest without evidence of
intramural hematoma or dissection. There is mild calcification of the aortic
arch. Major aortic arch branch vessels are patent. There is noncalcified
atherosclerotic plaque moderate to severely narrowing the lumen of the
proximal left subclavian artery (for example see series 3, image 38). The
pulmonary arteries are well opacified. There is no evidence of intraluminal
filling defect to suggest pulmonary embolism to the segmental level. There is
limited evaluation of the more distal subsegmental pulmonary arterial branches
to the lower lobes due to respiratory motion artifact.
CT THORAX: The partially imaged thyroid is within normal limits. The
esophagus is unremarkable. Coronary artery calcifications are seen.
Otherwise, the heart and pericardium are normal. There is no pericardial
effusion. There is a prominent AP window lymph node measuring 9 mm in short
axis (series 2, image 43) ; this was previously 11 mm on ___. There
is no mediastinal, hilar, or axillary lymphadenopathy.
Major airways are patent bilaterally. There is persistent narrowing of the
left upper lobe bronchus (03:10 8) as seen on prior exams. There is left
lower lobe bronchiectasis. There is moderate to severe centrilobular and
paraseptal emphysematous change diffusely involving both lungs, worst at the
lung apices. Reticular interstitial opacities involving the right lower lobe
raise possibility of superimposed chronic interstitial process. Linear
opacity along the left major fissure is consistent with atelectasis, similar
to prior. Ground-glass 3 mm nodule at the left lung base is new seen on the
prior exam and may be inflammatory infectious in nature (series 2, image 67).
A punctate solid pulmonary nodule in the right middle lobe is unchanged
(series 2, image 82). There is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax.
MUSCULOSKELETAL: There is no concerning focal subcutaneous or musculoskeletal
soft tissue abnormality. Moderate to severe wedge deformity of a lower
thoracic vertebral body is unchanged from prior exam, chronic in nature.
Otherwise, the imaged thoracic vertebral bodies are normally aligned and
demonstrate preserved height. No concerning focal lytic or sclerotic osseous
lesions are identified. Abnormal trabecular pattern visualized in the
proximal right humerus is likely due to artifact from high density contrast
injection in the right upper extremity and positioning
Mild intra- and extrahepatic biliary ductal dilation is partially imaged
however unchanged from prior exams. Gallbladder is surgically absent.
Otherwise, the partially imaged upper abdominal solid and hollow viscous
organs are without acute focal abnormality besides calcifications suggestive
nonobstructing calculi at the upper pole the left kidney, unchanged.
IMPRESSION:
1. Evaluation of the distal subsegmental pulmonary arterial branches supplying
the bilateral lower lobes due to respiratory motion artifact. Otherwise, no
evidence of pulmonary embolism. No acute aortic syndrome.
2. Emphysema dependent reticular opacities at the right lung base, potentially
atelectasis. Given chronicity, these could represent sequelae of aspiration
or infection in the appropriate clinical setting.
3. Moderate to severe luminal narrowing of the proximal left subclavian artery
secondary to noncalcified atherosclerotic plaque.
4. 9 mm AP window lymph node is decreased in size from prior exam from ___, previously 11 mm.
5. Persistent narrowing of the left upper lobe bronchus and partial left upper
lobe, lingular atelectasis.
6. Mild intra and extrahepatic biliary ductal dilation is partially imaged
however unchanged from prior exams, better evaluated on prior dedicated
abdominal imaging.

IMAGING:
MR ___ ___
FINDINGS:
Please note that the evaluation is somewhat limited in the
absence of axial T1 postcontrast images.
For the purposes of numbering, the lowest well formed
intervertebral disc
space was designated the L5-S1 level. Please note that this
method is note
accurate for surgical planning.
The alignment of the lumbar spine is maintained. The vertebral
body heights are maintained at all levels. In the left hemi
sacrum, again seen is a T1 dark, T2 bright mass lesion measuring
approximately 5.1 by 5.9 x 3.5 cm, unchanged compared to the
prior MRI. The lesion demonstrates peripheral enhancement on
postcontrast images and extends from the level of S1-S3
vertebrae. The previously-seen old healed sacral insufficiency
fracture is vaguely identified. This mass does not extend into
the spinal canal. It however causes mild narrowing of the left
S1-S2 neural foramen. This is better evaluated on concurrent
MRI of the pelvis
The remaining marrow appears unremarkable without new focal
marrow lesions. The visualized lower spinal cord appears
unremarkable with the conus terminating at L1.
The visualized prevertebral, paravertebral and paraspinal soft
tissues appear unremarkable.
From T12-L1, through L4 -L5 levels, intervertebral disc height
and signal is maintained. Bilateral neural foramen and spinal
canal are patent.
At L5-S1, there is loss of disc height and signal with
broad-based disc bulge indenting the ventral thecal sac and
causing moderate left and mild right neural foramen narrowing.
IMPRESSION:
1. Study had to be aborted in between because of patient
discomfort without the acquisition of axial T1 postcontrast
images.
2. Stable left sacral mass in keeping with patient's known
plasmacytoma
causing mild left S1-S2 neural foramen narrowing. This is
better evaluated on concurrent MRI of the pelvis.
3. No new lesions are seen.
4. Stable mild degenerative disease at L5-S1 causing moderate
left and mild right neural foramen narrowing as described above.
MR PELVIS ___
FINDINGS:
Again seen is the known left sacral lesion measuring
approximately 4.3 x 3.7 x 5.3 cm, unchanged in size compared to
MRI of the lumbar spine on ___. The lesion is a T1
hypointense, STIR hyperintense, and demonstrates mild peripheral
enhancement and no internal enhancement. There are some areas
of more thickened peripheral enhancement, predominantly
posteriorly (19, 12 and 14). This is not significantly changed
compared to MRI on ___ given differences in
technique. The mass extends across the posterior aspect
of the left sacroiliac joint, unchanged. There is a chronic
fracture of the anterior left sacrum (13, 14), unchanged. The
mass causes narrowing of the left S1-2 neural foramen and abuts
the exiting left S2 nerve root, unchanged. The mass also abuts
the exiting left S1 nerve root at the L5-S1 level, better
evaluated on concurrent MRI of the lumbar spine.
There is no new fracture. No new suspicious osseous lesion.
There is increase high T2 subchondral signal along the iliac
side of both SI joints, which may reflect degenerative changes,
with fluid signal noted in both SI joints. In addition, there
is patchy high STIR signal both iliac bones which is
non-specific, but, based in comparison to the ___ CT
scan, this may reflect changes due to prior bone marrow
biopsies. A small subchondral cyst is also noted on the left
inferiorly (11:18).
Please refer to concurrent lumbar spine MRI for lumbar spine
findings.
Assessment of the intrapelvic structures is limited,
particularly in light of these of a saturation band. Visualized
portions are grossly unremarkable, without free intrapelvic
fluid or enlarged iliac lymph nodes. Is grossly within normal
limits.
IMPRESSION:
Previously biopsied left sacral plasmacytoma is unchanged in
size or
appearance compared to MRI of the lumbar spine on ___.
The lesion is predominantly nonenhancing and presumed necrotic,
with mostly thin peripheral enhancement, however there are some
mildly thickened areas of peripheral enhancement which could
represent residual plasmacytoma, similar to ___ MRI from
___.
The lesion extends across the posterior left SI joint and also
causes
narrowing of the left L5-S1 and S1-S2 neural foramen, abutting
the exiting
nerve roots at these levels, unchanged.
A chronic fracture of the left anterior sacrum is unchanged.
No new fracture or new suspicious osseous lesion.
Probable mild degenerative changes about both SI joints. In
addition, patchy high STIR signal in both iliac bones --question
related to sites of prior bone marrow biopsy. Attention to this
area on followup exams is requested.
ECG ___
Clinical indication for EKG: Syncope and collapse
Sinus rhythm. Compared to the previous tracing of ___ the
rate is somewhat less. Otherwise, no change.
HEAD CT ___
FINDINGS:
There is no evidence of infarction, hemorrhage, edema, or mass.
The ventricles and sulci are normal in size and configuration.
There is no evidence of fracture. The calcified scalp nodule
within the right parietal region, likely a granuloma come is
unchanged. The visualized portion of the paranasal sinuses,
mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are clear. The
visualized portion of the orbits are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION: Normal study.
PET SCAN ___
FINDINGS: HEAD/NECK: There is no abnormal focus of increased
FDG uptake. There is a large mucous retention cyst in the right
maxillary sinus. There is no cervical lymphadenopathy. Mildly
prominent 9 mm right cervical level Ia lymph node demonstrates
no abnormal increased FDG uptake. 12 mm hypodense right lobe
thyroid nodule is unchanged in size compared to prior thyroid
ultrasound.
CHEST: There is no abnormal focus of increased FDG uptake.
Heart size is normal without significant pericardial fluid.
There is no supraclavicular, axillary, hilar or mediastinal
lymphadenopathy. There is mild bibasilar dependent atelectasis.
Lungs are otherwise clear.
ABDOMEN/PELVIS: There is no abnormal focus of increased FDG
uptake. Solid
organs are grossly unremarkable. Bowel loops are normal caliber
without
evidence of obstruction. There is no mesenteric,
retroperitoneal, inguinal or pelvic sidewall lymphadenopathy.
MUSCULOSKELETAL: 4.5 x 2.7 cm lytic lesion of the left sacrum
with chronic
appearing fracture line, surrounding bony remodeling and
sclerosis is unchanged compared to the CT examination from ___. There is borderline increased FDG uptake at the
margins of the lesion without a clear focal area of
asymmetrically increased uptake (SUV max 2.5). There is
otherwise no focus of abnormally increased FDG uptake. Vertebral

Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MR ___ AND W/O CONTRAST ___ MR SPINE
INDICATION: ___ w/ MM and a history of left sacral plasmacytoma presenting
with atraumatic bilateral lower back pain x1dIV contrast to be given at
radiologist discretion as clinically needed //
TECHNIQUE: Sagittal imaging was performed with T2, T1, and STIR technique,
followed by axial T2 imaging. This was followed by sagittalobtained after the
uneventful intravenous administration of 7 mL of Gadavist contrast agent.
Please note that axial T1 weighted postcontrast images could not be acquired
because of patient's discomfort and study had to be aborted in between.
COMPARISON: CT abdomen and pelvis from ___ and MRI of the lumbar
spine from ___.
FINDINGS:
Please note that the evaluation is somewhat limited in the absence of axial T1
postcontrast images.
For the purposes of numbering, the lowest well formed intervertebral disc
space was designated the L5-S1 level.Please note that this method is note
accurate for surgical planning.
The alignment of the lumbar spine is maintained. The vertebral body heights
are maintained at all levels. In the left hemi sacrum, again seen is a T1
dark, T2 bright mass lesion measuring approximately 5.1 by 5.9 x 3.5 cm,
unchanged compared to the prior MRI. The lesion demonstrates peripheral
enhancement on postcontrast images and extends from the level of S1-S3
vertebrae. The previously-seen old healed sacral insufficiency fracture is
vaguely identified. This mass does not extend into the spinal canal. It
however causes mild narrowing of the left S1-S2 neural foramen. This is
better evaluated on concurrent MRI of the pelvis
The remaining marrow appears unremarkable without new focal marrow lesions.
The visualized lower spinal cord appears unremarkable with the conus
terminating at L1.
The visualized prevertebral, paravertebral and paraspinal soft tissues appear
unremarkable.
From T12-L1, through L4 -L5 levels, intervertebral disc height and signal is
maintained. Bilateral neural foramen and spinal canal are patent.
At L5-S1, there is loss of disc height and signal with broad-based disc bulge
indenting the ventral thecal sac and causing moderate left and mild right
neural foramen narrowing.
IMPRESSION:
1. Study had to be aborted in between because of patient discomfort without
the acquisition of axial T1 postcontrast images.
2. Stable left sacral mass in keeping with patient's known plasmacytoma
causing mild left S1-S2 neural foramen narrowing. This is better evaluated on
concurrent MRI of the pelvis.
3. No new lesions are seen.
4. Stable mild degenerative disease at L5-S1 causing moderate left and mild
right neural foramen narrowing as described above.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ w/ MM and a history of left sacral plasmacytoma presenting
with atraumatic bilateral lower back pain x1dIV contrast to be given at
radiologist discretion as clinically needed // ___ w/ MM and a history of
left sacral plasmacytoma presenting with atraumatic bilateral lower back pain
x1d
TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar images were obtained of the pelvis with the without IV
contrast at 1.5 T.
COMPARISON: MRI of the lumbar spine on ___. CT abdomen pelvis on
___.
FINDINGS:
Again seen is the known left sacral lesion measuring approximately 4.3 x 3.7 x
5.3 cm, unchanged in size compared to MRI of the lumbar spine on ___. The lesion is a T1 hypointense, STIR hyperintense, and demonstrates
mild peripheral enhancement and no internal enhancement. There are some areas
of more thickened peripheral enhancement, predominantly posteriorly (19, 12
and 14). This is not significantly changed compared to MRI on ___
given differences in technique. The mass extends across the posterior aspect
of the left sacroiliac joint, unchanged. There is a chronic fracture of the
anterior left sacrum (13, 14), unchanged. The mass causes narrowing of the
left S1-2 neural foramen and abuts the exiting left S2 nerve root, unchanged.
The mass also abuts the exiting left S1 nerve root at the L5-S1 level, better
evaluated on concurrent MRI of the lumbar spine.
There is no new fracture. No new suspicious osseous lesion.
There is increase high T2 subchondral signal along the iliac side of both SI
joints, which may reflect degenerative changes, with fluid signal noted in
both SI joints. In addition, there is patchy high STIR signal both iliac
bones which is non-specific, but, based in comparison to the ___ CT
scan, this may reflect changes due to prior bone marrow biopsies. A small
subchondral cyst is also noted on the left inferiorly (11:18).
Please refer to concurrent lumbar spine MRI for lumbar spine findings.
Assessment of the intrapelvic structures is limited, particularly in light of
these of a saturation band. Visualized portions are grossly unremarkable,
without free intrapelvic fluid or enlarged iliac lymph nodes. Is grossly
within normal limits.
IMPRESSION:
Previously biopsied left sacral plasmacytoma is unchanged in size or
appearance compared to MRI of the lumbar spine on ___.
The lesion is predominantly nonenhancing and presumed necrotic, with mostly
thin peripheral enhancement, however there are some mildly thickened areas of
peripheral enhancement which could represent residual plasmacytoma, similar to
L-spine MRI from ___.
The lesion extends across the posterior left SI joint and also causes
narrowing of the left L5-S1 and S1-S2 neural foramen, abutting the exiting
nerve roots at these levels, unchanged.
A chronic fracture of the left anterior sacrum is unchanged.
No new fracture or new suspicious osseous lesion.
Probable mild degenerative changes about both SI joints. In addition, patchy
high STIR signal in both iliac bones --question related to sites of prior bone
marrow biopsy. Attention to this area on followup exams is requested.

level of acuity: 2.0 | Dear ___,
You were hospitalized due to symptoms of difficulty with speech
and writing resulting from an ACUTE ISCHEMIC STROKE, a condition
where a blood vessel providing oxygen and nutrients to the brain
is blocked by a clot. The brain is the part of your body that
controls and directs all the other parts of your body, so damage
to the brain from being deprived of its blood supply can result
in a variety of symptoms.
Stroke can have many different causes, so we assessed you for
medical conditions that might raise your risk of having stroke.
In order to prevent future strokes, we plan to modify those risk
factors.
We are changing your medications as follows:
-START aspirin 81 mg daily
-START Plavix 75 mg daily
-START atorvastatin 40 mg daily
Please take your other medications as prescribed.
Please follow up with Neurology and your primary care physician
as listed below.
If you experience any of the symptoms below, please seek
emergency medical attention by calling Emergency Medical
Services (dialing 911). In particular, since stroke can recur,
please pay attention to the sudden onset and persistence of
these symptoms:
- Sudden partial or complete loss of vision
- Sudden loss of the ability to speak words from your mouth
- Sudden loss of the ability to understand others speaking to
you
- Sudden weakness of one side of the body
- Sudden drooping of one side of the face
- Sudden loss of sensation of one side of the body

IMAGING:
========
___ CXR:
------------
FINDINGS: Frontal and lateral views of the chest. The lungs
are clear without focal consolidation or large effusion. There
is mild blunting of the posterior costophrenic angles,
potentially due to small effusions. The cardiomediastinal
silhouette is within normal limits. No acute osseous
abnormality is identified. Anterior cervical fixation hardware
is partially visualized.
___ ___:
-------------
IMPRESSION: No evidence of deep vein thrombosis in either leg.
___ RUQ U/S:
-----------------
IMPRESSION:
1. Patent hepatic vasculature. No portal vein thrombus
identified.
2. Minimal fluid in the pericardial space which does not appear
to represent a significant effusion.
3. Large amount of ascites in the abdomen.
4. Heterogeneous hepatic architecture and small left lobe
lesion, however visualization of the liver is limited due to the
patient's body habitus.
5. Cholelithiasis.
___ CXR:
-------------
FINDINGS: Compared to the study from the prior day, the heart
has increased in size and there is increased pulmonary vascular
re-distribution with some hazy areas of alveolar infiltrate
suggesting fluid overload. There is no focal infiltrate to
suggest infection.
___ Renal U/S:
-------------------
1. No evidence of hydronephrosis or stones.
2. Left renal cyst with a thin septation.
3. Large volume ascites.
___ ECHO:
---------------
IMPRESSION: Normal global and regional biventricular systolic
function. Mild to moderate mitral regurgitation. Moderate
elevation of pulmonary artery hypertension. Compared with the
prior study (images reviewed) of ___, mild to moderate
mitral regurgitation and elevtated pulmonary pressures are seen.
CHEST (PORTABLE AP) Study Date of ___ 12:07 AM
Cardiac silhouette is normal in size. Patchy opacities are
present
at both lung bases medially, with overall interval decrease in
extent compared to the prior radiograph. This may represent
resolving atelectasis, recurrent aspiration or resolving
infection. No new areas of consolidation are identified
elsewhere in the lungs, and there is no definite pleural
effusion or pneumothorax.
CHEST (PORTABLE AP) Study Date of ___ 1:05 AM
Previously questioned bibasilar consolidation is no longer
present. Also
improved is pulmonary vascular congestion. Mediastinal fullness
particularly in the right paratracheal region is a longstanding
finding, due to mediastinal fat deposition primarily. Heart
size is normal. There is no pleural abnormality.
CHEST (PA & LAT) Study Date of ___ 1:50 ___
Frontal view suggests a new very small region of consolidation
at
the base of the left lung projecting over the posterior left
tenth rib. The region is so small, I would not expect to see it
confirmed on the lateral view, which is essentially clear. In
order to verify this finding, we would require oblique views.
Lungs are otherwise clear. Small pleural effusions seen only on
the lateral view with certainty could have been present
previously.
Heart size is normal and pulmonary vasculature is unremarkable.
Mild
mediastinal widening, particularly to the right of midline is
nevertheless due to mediastinal fat deposition demonstrated by
chest CT on ___.
CHEST (PA & LAT) Study Date of ___ 4:06 ___
Persistent small pleural effusions.
CHEST (PORTABLE AP) Study Date of ___ 2:26 ___
NGT terminating within the distal stomach/proximal duodenum.
___ TUBE PLACEMENT (W/FLUORO) ___ 2:49 ___
Successful advancement of the nasointestinal tube to the
post-pyloric location with the tube terminating at the level of
the ligament of Treitz. The tube is ready to use.

It was a pleasure to take care of you during your recent
admission at ___. You came in
with the flu and we treated you for that. Once you were getting
better you unfortunately developed an infection in your
bloodstream that may have originated in your abdomen. We treated
you for that too and drained the fluid from your abdomen a
couple of times. Your kidney have suffered a little in the
process of fighting these infections and they should hopefully
get better over time. Also, you may eventually feel strong
enough to go through the TIPS so you won't need fluid taps that
often. We have placed a feeding tube to improve your nutrition
which is the first step to get stronger.
We wish you a quick recovery,

effusion.
ABDOMEN:
HEPATOBILIARY: The hypodensity within segment VII currently measures 2.3 x 1.4
cm (series 2, image 6), shown to represent a hemangioma on the CTA dated ___. Multiple other hypodensities are too small to characterize, but
stable in size and number, likely representing cysts or biliary hamartomas.
Otherwise, liver demonstrates homogenous attenuation throughout. There is no
evidence of new focal lesions. There is no evidence of intrahepatic or
extrahepatic biliary dilatation. The gallbladder is distended and there is
mild gallbladder wall edema, which is likely due to third spacing.
PANCREAS: The pancreas has normal attenuation throughout, without evidence of
focal lesions or pancreatic ductal dilatation. There is no peripancreatic
stranding.
SPLEEN: The 12 mm hypoattenuating lesion within the spleen posteriorly is
stable, likely representing a cyst. Otherwise, the spleen shows normal size
and attenuation throughout, without evidence of focal lesions.

URINARY: The kidneys are of normal and symmetric size with normal nephrogram.
There is no evidence of focal renal lesions or hydronephrosis. There is no
perinephric abnormality.
GASTROINTESTINAL: An NG tube is seen terminating within the stomach. The
stomach is unremarkable. The small bowel loops are slightly edematous, also
likely due to third spacing. Otherwise in the small bowel loops are within
normal limits. The patient is status post right hemi colectomy.
There is a surgical ___ drain within the right lower quadrant at the site
of the prior fluid collection. There is an expected amount of air adjacent to
the drain. There is no residual fluid collection.

CXR:
FINDINGS: Frontal and lateral views of the chest were obtained.
A
right-sided Port-A-Catheter is seen, unchanged in position,
terminating in the proximal-to-mid SVC. There are low lung
volumes with mild elevation of the right hemidiaphragm.
Crowding of bronchovascular structures is again seen without
overt pulmonary edema. Mild basilar atelectasis. No focal
consolidation. No pleural effusion or pneumothorax. Cardiac
silhouette is mildly enlarged. Mediastinal and hilar contours
are stable. Partially imaged is cervicothoracic spinal hardware
MR ___ &W/O CONTRAST Study Date of ___ 2:14 ___
FINDINGS:
MRI OF THE THORACIC SPINE:
The signal intensity in the bone marrow is heterogeneous with
multiple focal areas of high signal on T2 and low signal on T1,
there is avid enhancement with gadolinium contrast related with
bone metastatic lesions, which are more conspicuous since the
prior study at T4, T7, T9 and T11 levels. The evaluation of the
cervicothoracic spinal cord is limited due to susceptibility
artifact from fixation hardware and post-surgical changes,
grossly there is no evidence of focal or diffuse lesions
throughout the cervical or thoracic spinal cord to indicate
spinal cord edema or cord expansion. No fluid collections are
identified.
MRI OF THE LUMBAR SPINE:
Again post-surgical changes are identified from L2/L3 through
L5/S1 levels, consistent with posterior laminectomies, fixation
hardware is in place. Compression fracture, causing vertebral
plana is noted at L4 with retropulsion of the posterior wall,
causing anterior thecal sac deformity, grossly unchanged since
the prior study. Heterogeneous signal is noted in the vertebral
bodies, consistent with bone metastatic disease, grossly
unchanged since the prior study. At T11/T12 level, there is a
prominent articular joint facet hypertrophy and ligamentum
flavum thickening, impinging the thecal sac posteriorly on the
right and apparently contacting the spinal cord (image #34,
series #15 and image #16, series #4). However, this finding
appears unchanged since the prior examination. An unchanged 64
mm by 25 mm fluid collection is again seen in the surgical bed,
extending from L3 through L5/S1 levels, with no evidence of
enhancement to suggest an abscess formation. Unchanged
heterogeneous signal is noted in the sacroiliac bones related
with metastatic disease, post surgical changes are again seen on
the right iliac crest.
IMPRESSION: 1. Osseous metastatic lesions throughout the
thoracic and lumbar spine, more conspicuous and more avid in the
thoracic spine as described above, from T5 through T11 levels
with no evidence of focal or diffuse lesions throughout the
thoracic spinal cord to indicate spinal cord edema or cord
expansion.
2. Relatively stable metastatic lesions in the lumbar spine
with
post-surgical changes, consistent with laminectomies and
posterior fixation as described above.
3. Unchanged collection in the surgical bed extending from L3
through L5/S1 levels with no evidence of enhancement to suggest
an abscess formation, this collection may represent a seroma,
the possibility of a CSF fistula is also a consideration.
4. Compression fracture at the level of L4 with vertebra plana,
and unchanged retropulsion, causing anterior thecal sac
deformity.

IMPRESSION: 1. Osseous metastatic lesions throughout the thoracic and lumbar
spine, more conspicuous and more avid in the thoracic spine as described
above, from T5 through T11 levels with no evidence of focal or diffuse lesions
throughout the thoracic spinal cord to indicate spinal cord edema or cord
expansion.
2. Relatively stable metastatic lesions in the lumbar spine with
post-surgical changes, consistent with laminectomies and posterior fixation as
described above.
3. Unchanged collection in the surgical bed extending from L3 through L5/S1
levels with no evidence of enhancement to suggest an abscess formation, this
collection may represent a seroma, the possibility of a CSF fistula is also a
consideration.
4. Compression fracture at the level of L4 with vertebra plana, and unchanged
retropulsion, causing anterior thecal sac deformity.

Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ female with pelvic abscess and likely
enterovesiculofistula, please drain pelvic abscess and evaluate for fistulous
tract.
COMPARISON: Outside CT scan of the abdomen/pelvis, ___.
PHYSICIAN: ___, MD ___, MD fellow was performed the
procedure. ___, MD, attending, was present and supervising the
entire procedure.
MEDICATIONS: Moderate sedation was provided by administering divided doses of
fentanyl total 125mcg Versed total of 2.5mg throughout the total intraservice
time of 45 minutes during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were
continuously monitored.
PROCEDURES: CT-guided pelvic abscess drainage. CT fistulagram of pelvic
collection.
PROCEDURE DETAILS: Informed consent was obtained from the patient. She was
positioned supine. Initial CT scan was performed. This was used to localize
the area for puncture. The area was then prepped and draped in standard
sterile fashion. Local anesthesia was applied. With CT guidance, a 19-gauge
trocar needle was advanced from the patient's left lateral lower abdomen into
the perisigmoid abscess collection. A wire was then passed through the needle
to coil within the collection. Over this wire, the needle was removed and an
8 ___ ___ pigtail drain was placed. There was return of frank pus as
well as air. About 20 cc of pus and 30 cc of air was aspirated from the
cavity. We then placed a dressing and an adhesive device. We then injected
dilute contrast about 60 cc total volume into the cavity to demonstrate rapid
flow into the bladder with a large defect noted. Please see finding section
for further details. The abscess drain was left to bag for gravity drainage.
The patient left the department in stable condition without any immediate
complication.
FINDINGS: As seen on the prior study, the pre-contrast scan demonstrated air
in the bladder. There was an air- and fluid-filled collection adjacent to the
sigmoid colon, which was notably smaller at the start of the procedure than it
was during the CT scan yesterday, likely having decompressed partially into
the bladder. Small amount of abdominal ascites and pneumoperitoneum most
likely is secondary to peritoneal dialysis. Small amount of the oral contrast
previously ingested had collected in the abscess cavity prior to the procedure
as well. With contrast injection, the patient immediately felt sensation of
fluid in her bladder. CT scan after the contrast injection demonstrated
accumulation of contrast in the bladder, with a clear rent in the dome of the
bladder just right of midline. The connection between the collection and the
colon is not well seen during this examination, and may in fact be closed off
since the cavity formed. As clinically indicated, a water-soluable enema may
help to demonstrate this connection.
SPECIMENS: ___ cc was sent to microbiology for Gram stain and culture.
CONCLUSION: Uncomplicated guided pelvic abscess drainage with return of air
and frank pus. Uncomplicated fistulagram demonstrating connection between the
abscess and the bladder. A specific connection with the colon could not be
well seen during this examination and could be better characterized with a
water-soluble enema to further assess for connection to the colon, if needed.
Radiology Report
PROCEDURE: Right upper extremity PICC placement and right internal jugular
tunnelled hemodialysis line placement.
INDICATION: ___ year-old woman with ESRD on PD with intraabdominal infection
who needs HD and PICC lines.
CLINICIANS: Dr. ___ (resident), Dr. ___ (fellow), Dr.
___ (attending). Dr. ___ was present and supervising.
ANESTHESIA: For the PICC placement, local anesthesia was provided by 1%
lidocaine. For the tunnelled line placement, divided doses of 50 mcg of
fentanyl and 1 mg of Versed were administered during the total intraservice
time of 40 min during which patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously
monitored. Local anesthesia was provided by 1% lidocaine to the dermis and 1%
lidocaine with epinephrine into the subcutaneous tissues.
RADIATION: 8 min, 51 mGy.
PROCEDURE DETAILS:
Written informed consent was obtained from the patient after explanation of
the risks, benefits, alternatives, and indications of the procedure.
The patient was transported to the angiography suite and positioned supine on
the imaging table. The right neck was prepped and draped in usual sterile
fashion. A preprocedure timeout was performed per ___ protocol.
PICC:
Using sterile technique and local anesthesia, a patent right brachial vein was
punctured under direct ultrasound guidance using a micropuncture set. Hard
copies of ultrasound images were obtained before and immediately after
establishing intravenous access. A peel-away sheath was then placed over a
guidewire, and a single lumen PICC measuring 43 cm in length was then placed
through the peel-away sheath with its tip positioned in the SVC under
fluoroscopic guidance. Position of the catheter was confirmed by a
fluoroscopic spot film of the chest. The peel-away sheath and guidewire were
then removed. The catheter was secured to the skin, flushed, and a sterile
dressing applied. The patient tolerated the procedure well. There were no
immediate complications.
TUNNELED LINE:
After anesthetizing the skin and subcutaneous tissues, a micropuncture needle
was inserted into the right internal jugular vein under ultrasound guidance.
Hard copy ultrasound images were saved for reference. A 0.018 inch nitinol
wire was advanced into the superior vena cava. After additional anesthesia, a
small ___ was made in the skin. The micropuncture needle was exchanged for a
micropuncture sheath. The inner cannula and nitinol wire were removed. A
0.035 inch J-wire was advanced into the right atrium. Appropriate
measurements were made for skin incision four fingerbreadths below the
venotomy site (19 cm tip to cuff catheter was chosen). The wire was then
advanced into the IVC. Attention was now turned to creation of subcutaneous
tunnel which was carefully planned medial enough to the subclavian line to
avoid interference. After additional local anesthesia, a 1-cm skin incision
was made. A tunneled catheter was passed from the incision to the venotomy
site with the aid of a metal tunneling device. The venotomy tract was dilated
with dilators. The peel-away sheath was passed over the wire. The wire and
inner cannula were removed, and the catheter was passed through the peel-away
sheath. The peel-away sheath was removed while the catheter was pushed into
the right atrium. This was confirmed with fluoroscopy demonstrating the
catheter tip in the right atrium. Both lumens withdrew blood and flushed
easily. The catheter was secured with 0 silk sutures. Venotomy site was
closed with a ___ Vicryl subcuticular stitch. Dry sterile dressings were
applied. No immediate post-procedure complications were noted. The patient
tolerated the procedure well.
IMPRESSION:
1. Placement of a 19 cm (tip to cuff) tunneled HD access catheter through a
right internal jugular vein approach. The tip is located in the right atrium,
and the catheter is ready for use.
2. Uncomplicated ultrasound and fluoroscopically guided single lumen PICC
placement via a right brachial venous approach. Final internal length is 43
cm, with the tip positioned in SVC. The line is ready for use.

or cane).
Followup Instructions:
___
Radiology Report
HISTORY: Weakness and history of renal cell carcinoma.
TECHNIQUE: PA and lateral views of the chest.
COMPARISON: CT torso ___ and chest radiograph ___.
FINDINGS:
The heart size is normal. The aorta remains tortuous with mild aortic knob
calcifications demonstrated. Mediastinal and hilar contours are otherwise
unchanged. Left-sided Port-A-Cath tip terminates in the lower SVC, unchanged.
The pulmonary vascularity is not engorged. Known scattered right lung nodules
compatible with metastases are better seen on the prior chest CT, with the
largest nodule noted laterally in the right lower lobe measuring 5 mm. Other
pleural based metastatic lesions of the right hemithorax are better assessed
on the recent CT. No focal consolidation, left-sided pleural effusion or
pneumothorax is identified. Trace right pleural effusion appears to be
present. Destruction of the right 7th rib laterally is re- demonstrated.
IMPRESSION:
Known right pulmonary and pleural based metastatic lesions are better depicted
on the recent CT exam. No acute cardiopulmonary abnormality otherwise
identified. Unchanged osseous metastasis involving the right ___ lateral rib.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: Renal cell cancer and worsening confusion.
COMPARISON: Multiple prior exams, most recently MRI head dated of ___.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT sections were obtained through the brain
without administration of IV contrast. Coronal, sagittal, and thin slice bone
algorithm reformats were reviewed.
FINDINGS:
There is no evidence of hemorrhage, edema, mass effect, or large territorial
infarction. The ventricles and sulci are stable in size and configuration,
consistent with age-related volume loss. 6 mm ventricular lesion along the
left frontal horn of the lateral ventricle is unchanged since ___.
A second left ventricular lesion is not appreciated via CT technique. The
basal cisterns appear patent and there is preservation of gray-white matter
differentiation.
No fracture is identified. The visualized paranasal sinuses, mastoid air
cells, and middle ear cavities are clear. The right ocular lens is not well
visualized. The globes are otherwise unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
1. No intracranial hemorrhage or acute territorial infarction.
2. Stable 6 mm left lateral ventricular lesion, better characterized on
previous MRIs.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ man, with renal cell carcinoma and altered mental
status. Assess for metastatic disease.
COMPARISON: Multiple prior MR head studies with the latest on ___.
TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar, multisequence T1- and T2-weighted images were
acquired through the head before and after administration of IV gadolinium
contrast. Diffusion-weighted images and ADC maps were also obtained for
evaluation.
FINDINGS: Again noted are two tiny non-enhancing intraventricular cystic
lesions in the left lateral ventricle (4:16 and 4:18), stable in appearance
since ___, likely representing benign etiology such as subependymoma or
hamartoma.
In the post-contrast MP-RAGE images, apparent small focus of enhancement is
noted at the left paracentral posterior margin of the medulla (image 900b:34).
However, there is no correlate on either the post-contrast T1 spin-echo or the
FLAIR sequence, and this is regarded as artifactual, likely related to
"wrap-around."
There is no abnormal enhancement to suggest metastasis. The ventricles and
sulci are prominent with "etat crible" appearance of the perivascular spacse,
representing moderate global volume loss with prominent central component.
There is no shift of normally midline structures. Mild confluent
periventricular and scattered subcortical T2-/FLAIR- hyperintensities are
non-specific, but likely represent sequelae of mild chronic microvascular
ischemic changes. The gray-white matter differentiation is preserved. There
is no acute infarct or hemorrhage. Major vascular flow voids are present.
There is mild mucosal thickening in the paranasal sinuses. There is a mild
rightward nasal septal deviation. The right lens is absent.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of intracranial metastatic disease. No acute infarct or
hemorrhage.
2. Two tiny non-enhancing left lateral intraventricular lesions, stable since
___ given the long-term stability, they likely represent benign etiology
such as subependymoma or hamartoma.
3. Moderate global volume loss with mild sequelae of chronic microvascular
ischemic disease.

Cardiology consult was called and they felt the presyncopal
episode was unlikely to be cardiac. We think the original
episode was either due to urinary infection or urinary retention
from enlarged prostate.
Antibiotics were started to treat for possible urinary infection
and will be continued for 7 days total.
Flomax was stopped due to decrease in blood pressure. We decided
to discontinue all blood pressure meds except for Coreg and your
goal systolic blood pressure is 140s-170s.
You had some trauma from attempts to insert Foley catheter, and
warfarin was stopped so bleeding can be controlled. Urology was
consulted for hematuria and felt catheter placement was an
option, but you were urinating alright and declined catheter
placement.
Please do not restart warfarin until you've discussed with your

History of Present Illness:
Ms. ___ is a ___ female with a past medical
history of stage IV NSCLC metastatic to the adrenals, who
presented to clinic with three weeks of dyspnea, cough,
weakness,
and chills.
She was directed to the ED from clinic and eventually admitted
to
the FICU due to hypoxia and hypotension requiring levophed. CT
chest was consistent with post-obstructive pneumonia. She was
started on vanc/zosyn. She required levophed for approximately
24
hours. On initial presentation she required ___ O2 and has
been
weaned to 3L NC during FICU stay. She does not use oxygen at
home. Her hypoxemia was thought to be secondary to pneumonia as
well as underlying lung cancer. She was seen by IP and on ___
underwent flex bronch/rigid bronchoscopy with
electrocautery destruction and removal of the LMS endobronchial
lesion and stent placement in LMS. Copious mucopurulent
secretions were removed from the left and right sides.
During FICU stay she was also started on a stress dose steroids
for possible adrenal insufficiency given hypotension in the
setting of adrenal metastases. FICU course also complicated by
mild hyponatremic, thought to be hypovolemic. In terms of her
metastatic lung cancer, her CT chest showed tumor necrosis and
increase in metastatic disease and lymphadenopathy. She was seen
by At___ oncology and had a long discussion regarding goals of
care. Decision was made to transition to DNR/DNI and to
discharge
on home hospice. She did wish to complete antibiotics for
pneumonia and steroids that were initiated in the FICU.

Followup Instructions:
___
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ with fever, cough// Pneumonia
TECHNIQUE: PA and lateral views the chest
COMPARISON: Chest x-ray from ___. PET-CT from ___.
FINDINGS:
In the region of previously seen solid mass centered in the right middle lobe
is now rounded area of opacity with an air-fluid level compatible with
cavitation. There is some adjacent, more peripheral area of consolidation.
There is no pleural effusion. Lungs are otherwise clear. Cardiomediastinal
silhouette is within normal limits. Atherosclerotic calcifications noted at
the aortic arch and there is tortuosity of the thoracic aorta. High-riding
humeral heads noted bilaterally with secondary chronic changes at the distal
clavicle and acromion as seen on prior.
IMPRESSION:
Area of previously seen FDG avid rounded mass centered in the right middle
lobe now demonstrates air-fluid level compatible with cavitation. Superimposed
infection would certainly be possible. In addition, peripheral area of
consolidation could represent adjacent pneumonia.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: Chest radiograph
INDICATION: ___ with line placement.
TECHNIQUE: Frontal view of the chest
COMPARISON: ___ and ___ chest radiographs
___ PET-CT
FINDINGS:
Compared to 6 hours prior, there is been interval placement of a right IJ
central venous catheter with its tip projecting over the expected location of
the superior cavoatrial junction. The proximal to midportion of the catheter
follows a somewhat tortuous course. No pneumothorax or pleural effusion.
Otherwise unchanged appearance of the chest with a right middle lobe lung mass
demonstrating new cavitation and adjacent, somewhat indistinct opacities more
peripherally. Heart size is top-normal. Aortic arch calcifications are
moderate.
IMPRESSION:
1. Interval placement of a right IJ central venous catheter with its tip
projecting over the expected location of the superior cavoatrial junction.
The proximal to midportion of the central venous catheter is somewhat
tortuous, possibly within a distended superior vena cava, less likely arterial
or extravascular. Recommend assessing for blood return and correlating with a
blood gas.
2. Cavitating right middle lobe mass with new cavitation differential
considerations including necrosis or super infection with abscess formation.
3. Indistinct lateral mid to right lower lung opacities could reflect
developing pneumonia.
NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed with ___, M.D. by
___, M.D. on the telephone on ___ at approximately 1:32 am,
0 minutes after discovery of the findings.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT CHEST WITH CONTRAST
INDICATION: ___ with cavitary pneumonia, would need CT scan for eval.
TECHNIQUE: Axial multidetector CT images were obtained through the thorax
after the uneventful administration of intravenous contrast. Reformatted
coronal, sagittal, thin slice axial images, and axial maximal intensity
projection images were submitted to PACS and reviewed.
DOSE: Acquisition sequence:
1) Spiral Acquisition 4.5 s, 35.0 cm; CTDIvol = 6.5 mGy (Body) DLP = 227.6
mGy-cm.
Total DLP (Body) = 228 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: ___ PET-CT
Same day chest radiographs
FINDINGS:
HEART AND VASCULATURE: There is a small pericardial effusion. Aortic valve
calcifications are severe. Mitral annulus calcifications are severe.
Coronary artery calcifications are severe, notably involving the left anterior
descending coronary artery. The thoracic aorta is normal in caliber. Thoracic
aorta and great vessel origin calcifications are moderate. No evidence of
dissection or penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer formation. No evidence of
pulmonary embolism. Please note the segmental branches of the right middle
lobe are encased by the known mass.
AXILLA, HILA, AND MEDIASTINUM: No significant change in mediastinal
lymphadenopathy with a precarinal lymph node measuring 2.4 cm and a subcarinal
lymph node measuring 2.2 cm. A right IJ central venous catheter terminates in
the lower SVC. No mediastinal hematoma.
PLEURAL SPACES: A small right pleural effusion is new. No left pleural
effusion.
LUNGS/AIRWAYS: The known right middle lobe mass is probably minimally changed
in size, but demonstrates new necrosis with superimposed infection evidenced
by new gas and fluid within it, the largest of which measures up to 5.2 x 4.2
cm (series 2, image 35). Adjacent to this mass, there are new right middle
lobe consolidative and ground-glass opacities. There are also new, scattered
ground-glass opacities in the right upper lobe. A 4 mm left upper lobe
pulmonary nodules unchanged. There is diffuse bronchial wall thickening and
scattered subsegmental mucous impaction.
ABDOMEN: Large, heterogeneous suprarenal masses are slightly larger than 1
month prior, measuring 10.9 x 8.7 cm on the left and 10.0 x 7.2 cm on the
right, previously 10.3 x 7.9 cm and 8.8 x 6.5 cm, respectively.
BONES: No suspicious osseous abnormality is seen.? There are moderate
thoracic spine degenerative changes.
IMPRESSION:
1. The known right middle lobe lung mass demonstrates new superimposed
infection evidence by a new abscess within it. New right middle and upper
lobe pneumonia.
2. Mild interval increase in size of adrenal metastases.
3. Right IJ central venous catheter terminates in the SVC.

antibiotics for a pneumonia, steroids to treat the COPD flare,
and diuretics (water pills) to remove fluid out of the lungs.
Your lungs improved with this treatment, and eventually
transferred to the regular medicine floor where you continued to
do well. Your heart was initially in an abnormal rhythm, but you
were started on some medicines and your heart is now in a normal
rhythm.
The most important thing you can do when you leave the hospital
is to quit smoking. I have provided you with nicotine patches,
please obtain the nicotine gum and use in the way we discussed.
Please get the flu vaccine and pneumonia vaccines with your

___ and recent perforated duodenal ulcer/aspiration with
aspiration PNA and bowel obstruction who is admitted from home
off of hospice with pneumonia.
Recently hospitalized from ___ at ___ for ongoing
abdominal pain. She was found to have pneumoperitoneum and
diagnosed with a perforated duodenal ulcer. Underwent an
emergent ex-lap on ___ where the ulcer was repaired with a
___ patch. Her subsequent hospital course was complicated by
slow return of bowel function, poor oral intake (requiring
NGT/TF), aspiration pneumonia (treated with vancomycin,
cefepime, and flaygl) and recurrent bowel obstruction. Given
the patient's overall poor prognosis and long hospital course, a
goals of care meeting was held on ___ with the primary team

palpation to feel the costal margins and the liver edge was marked using
ultrasound. Permanent ultrasound images were stored.
Under fluoroscopic guidance, 3 T fastener buttons were sequentially deployed
in a triangular position elevating the stomach to the anterior abdominal wall.
Intra-gastric position was confirmed with aspiration of air and injection of
contrast. A 19 gauge needle was introduced under fluoroscopic guidance and
position confirmed using an injection of dilute contrast. A Amplatz wire was
introduced into the stomach. A small skin incision was made along the needle
and the needle was removed.
After sequential dilation using 10, 14, 16, and 18 ___ dilators, an 18
___ peel-away sheath was placed, and a MIC gastrostomy catheter was
advanced over the wire through the peel-away sheath into position. The
catheter was secured by instilling 5 ml of dilute contrast into the balloon in
the stomach after confirming the position of the catheter with a contrast
injection. The catheter was then flushed, capped and secured with 0-silk
sutures. Sterile dressings were applied. The patient tolerated the procedure
well and there were no immediate complications.

IMAGING/OTHER STUDIES:
====================
CT Torso w/o contrast ___. Partially visualized lobulated, elongated mass along the
course of the left external iliac and femoral vascular
distributions measuring 13.5 x 5.0 x 4.1 cm where seen. This
likely correlates with the left thigh mass reportedly
evaluated per outside MRI on ___, and may represent
sarcoma, malignant nerve sheath tumor, or metastasis, including
metastatic left external iliac and inguinal lymphadenopathy.
2. Multiple bilateral pulmonary nodules measuring up to 1.7 cm
are concerning for metastatic disease.
3. Ill-defined soft tissue lesions about the bilateral
glenohumeral joints are incompletely characterized but suggest
complex chronic joint effusions. If these are a clinical
concern
MR imaging may be helpful.
4. Findings consistent with moderately severe interstitial lung
disease, probably best conforming to nonspecific interstitial
pneumonitis pattern.
Early usual interstitial pneumonitis is not excluded by this
study, however.
5. Severe diverticulosis without evidence of diverticulitis.
___ DOPPLERS ___
IMPRESSION: DVT in the mid to distal portion of the left SFV.
Probable occlusion of the mid to distal portion of the left
superficial femoral artery, with probable reconstitution at

stenosis
Extensive hypoechoic complex mass in the subcutaneous tissues
tracking down the left thigh, with no obvious internal
flow. Please correlate with findings of patient's recent MRI
that
was performed for this finding.
PET ___:
1. Large, markedly FDG avid conglomerate of lymph nodes or soft
tissue extending from the left external iliac nodal station down
the course of the left common femoral vein/artery through the
left thigh becoming contiguous with a large left thigh mass
above the knee as described above. The SUV max throughout this
region is approximately 38 and spans a craniocaudal distance of
approximately 38 cm. The left femur does not demonstrate
evidence
of increased FDG avidity.
2. Extensive FDG avidity at the site of the known left proximal
tibial fracture with internal soft tissue density and SUV max of
18.0.
3. Extensive FDG avid nodular opacities throughout both lung
fields highly concerning for metastatic disease within SUV max
of
17.6.
4. Focal area of increased FDG uptake in the posterior right
pelvis adjacent to loops of small bowel without definite
anatomic
correlate on the CT and possibly representing an abnormal lymph
node or an enteric lesion with an SUV max of 7.0

cysts including partial single layer of small ones in the extreme lung bases.
There are multiple bilateral lower lobe predominant nodules measuring up to
1.7 cm on the right (4:226) and 1.3 cm on the left (4:180). No focal
consolidations are seen. The airways are patent to the level of the segmental
bronchi bilaterally. There is mild traction bronchiectasis in the right
middle lobe, lingula, and bilateral lower lobes, likely due to architectural
distortion from subpleural opacities.
BASE OF NECK: Visualized portions of the base of the neck show no abnormality.
ABDOMEN:
HEPATOBILIARY: The liver demonstrates homogenous attenuation throughout.
There is no evidence of focal lesion within the limitations of unenhanced
scan. There is no evidence of intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary
dilatation. The gallbladder is contracted but otherwise within normal limits.
PANCREAS: The pancreas has normal attenuation throughout, without evidence of
pancreatic ductal dilatation or focal lesions within the limitations of an

concerning focal lesions are seen within the lower kidneys within the
limitations of unenhanced scan. There is no hydronephrosis. There is no
perinephric abnormality.
GASTROINTESTINAL: The stomach is unremarkable. Evaluation of the small and
large bowel within the right lower quadrant and pelvis is limited due to right
hip arthroplasty associated streak artifact. Visualized small bowel loops
demonstrate normal caliber, wall thickness, and enhancement throughout.
Severe diverticulosis of the sigmoid colon is noted, without evidence of wall
thickening and fat stranding. The appendix is normal.
There is no free fluid or free air in the abdomen.
PELVIS:
Bladder is not seen due to streak artifact from hip arthroplasty. There is no
definite free fluid in the pelvis.

alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the
health care proxy. The patient was then brought to the angiography suite and
placed prone on the exam table. A pre-procedure time-out was performed per
___ protocol. The left flank was prepped and draped in the usual sterile
fashion.
After the injection of 5 cc of 1% lidocaine in the subcutaneous soft tissues,
the left renal collecting system was accessed through a posterior lower pole
calyx under ultrasound guidance using a 21 gauge needle. Ultrasound images of
the access were stored on PACS. Prompt return of urine confirmed appropriate
positioning. Injection of a small amount of contrast outlined a dilated renal
collecting system. Under fluoroscopic guidance, a Nitinol wire was advanced
into the renal collecting system. After a skin ___, the needle was exchanged
for an Accustick sheath. Once the tip of the sheath was in the collecting
system; the sheath was advanced over the wire, inner dilator and metallic
stiffener. The wire and inner dilator were then removed and diluted contrast
was injected into the collecting system to confirm position. 5 cc of cloudy
urine was aspirated and sent for analysis. A guidewire wire was advanced
through the sheath and coiled in the collecting system. The sheath was then
removed and a 8 ___ nephrostomy tube was advanced into the renal collecting
system. The wire was then removed and the pigtail was formed in the collecting
system. Contrast injection confirmed appropriate positioning. The catheter was
then flushed, 0 silk stay sutures applied and the catheter was secured with a

complete cessation of flow to the treated arterial territory
.
CXR (___):
In comparison with the study of ___, the monitoring and support
devices are essentially unchanged. The patient has taken a
slightly better inspiration. The opacification at the right
base is less prominent, suggesting that much of it could have
represented crowding of vessels related to poor inspiration.
Nevertheless, the possibility of continued atelectasis or even
pneumonia or hemorrhage must be considered. Retrocardiac
opacification persists, with similar differential diagnosis.

Radiology Report
EXAM: Chest, single AP upright portable view.
CLINICAL INFORMATION: Hemetemesis.
___.
FINDINGS: Single AP upright portable view of the chest was obtained. A
right-sided PICC is again seen, terminating in the upper SVC. The cardiac
silhouette remains enlarged with a somewhat globular configuration and there
may be underlying pericardial effusion or cardiomyopathy. Left mid lung
opacity is again seen, which may be post-surgical. There is obscuration of
the left hemidiaphragm which may in part be due to overlying soft tissue;
however, left base consolidation or atelectasis may be present. Dedicated PA
and lateral views would be helpful for further evaluation. The aorta remains
calcified and tortuous.
IMPRESSION: Obscuration of the left hemidiaphragm may in part relate to
overlying soft tissue; however, underlying consolidation and/or atelectasis
may be present. Dedicated PA and lateral views would be helpful for further
evaluation. Enlargement of the cardiac silhouette, likely stable, but with a
somewhat globular configuration now, underlying pericardial effusion or
cardiomyopathy may be present.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: Hematemesis on coumadin and an unwitnessed fall yesterday. Evaluate
for acute injury.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial sections were acquired through the brain without
administration intravenous contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations were
provided and reviewed.
DLP: ___ mGy/cm.
CTDIvol: 59.625 mGy.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS: There is no evidence of hemorrhage, edema or mass effect.
Prominence of the ventricles and sulci is compatible with age. Scattered and
confluent white matter hypodensities, while nonspecific, are thought to
reflect sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease. Dense
calcifications are seen within the carotid siphons.
The imaged paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are well aerated. The
imaged lens and globes are normal.
IMPRESSION: Chronic changes described above. No evidence of hemorrhage,
contusion, infarction or fracture.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: Unwitnessed fall yesterday. Evaluate for injury.
TECHNIQUE: MDCT axial images were acquired through cervical spine without
administration of intravenous contrast. Coronal sagittal reformations are
provided and reviewed.
DLP: 726.92 mGy/cm.
CTDIvol: 32.53 mGy.
COMPARISON: CT C-spine ___.
FINDINGS: There is mild reversal of the normal cervical lordosis at C5,
unchanged. There is no fracture. The presence of a nasogastric tube limits
detection of prevertebral soft tissue swelling. There are moderate
degenerative changes of the cervical spine with disc space loss and
osteophytosis. A well-circumscribed lucent lesion within the right pedicle of
C5 is certainly benign. The soft tissues of the neck are unremarkable. The
lung apices are normal. The thyroid is unremarkable. Intracranial contents
are better evaluated on the concurrent head CT.
IMPRESSION: No fracture of the cervical spine.
ATTENDING NOTE: The enlargement of right C5 foramen transversorium is likely
due to a vertebral artery loop due to tortuosity.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ female of recent right knee septic arthritis and
cellulitis, which was placed on Coumadin for DVT prevention. Today, patient
presented with hematemesis and hypotension and an angiogram was requested.
Upper GI endoscopy demonstrated large clot in the fundus and ulcer in GE
junction.
ANESTHESIA: Moderate sedation was provided by administering divided doses for
a total of 0.5 mg of Versed and additionally 8mg of Zofran, during which
patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored. Additionally,
1% lidocaine 9mL was used for local anesthesia.
OPERATORS: Dr. ___, ___ fellow, and Dr. ___,
___ attending.
PROCEDURES:
1. Right common femoral artery access.
2. Celiac digital subtraction angiogram.
3. Selective left gastric angiogram at the origin and in a more distal
subselective branch.
4. Gelfoam treatment of the left gastric artery.
PROCEDURE DETAILS: Written informed consent was obtained from the patient's
healthcare proxy, the daughter, after explaining risks, benefits and
alternatives to the procedure. The patient was brought to the angiography
suite and placed supine on the imaging table. The right groin was prepped and
draped in the usual sterile fashion. A preprocedure timeout was performed as
per ___ protocol.
Under palpatory and fluoroscopic guidance and using a 19-gauge single-wall
needle, the right common femoral artery was punctured. ___
wire was advanced through the needle into the lower aorta. The needle was
exchanged for a short 5 ___ vascular sheath. The sidearm of the sheath was
attached to a heparinized saline sidearm. Following, an Omniflush catheter
was used to cross the iliac bifurcation into the contralateral side. The
catheter was subsequently removed and ___ catheter was reformed over
the bifurcation and navigated up into the aorta. Using the ___, the
celiac axis was selected. Small amount of contrast injection demonstrated
adequate positioning. Following, a digital subtraction angiogram was
performed. The digital subtraction angiogram demonstrated the origin of the
left gastric artery slightly distal to the ostium of the celiac and no area of
active extravasation was seen in this run. Based on the clinical findings,
decision was made to do a selective left gastric artery angiogram. Following,
using a Renegade ___ and a Transcend wire, further purchase was gained into
the left gastric. Digital subtraction angiogram was repeated, which
demonstrated a large area of contrast extravasation in the stomach fundus.
Based on these findings, decision was made to treat this region. Using a
Fathom wire, further purchase was gained into the inferior branch of the left
gastric artery, the area of bleeding. A repeat arteriogram confirmed active
contrast extavasation. Gelfoam embolization was performed to stasis. Digital
subtraction angiogram was again repeated through the microcatheter, which was
placed slightly more proximal. No further active extravasation was identified
in this run. Based on the concerns of the prior endoscopy which had shown a
lesion in the gastroesophageal junction, embolization of the rest of the left
gastric artery was still performed to stasis with gelfoam slurry. At the end,
small amount of contrast injection did not demonstrate any further flow into
the left gastric. Based on these findings, decision was made to terminate the
procedure. All catheters and wires were removed. The right common femoral
artery sheath was removed and 15 minutes of manual compression were used to
achieve hemostasis. Dry sterile dressing was applied. The patient tolerated
the procedure well without immediate complications.
IMPRESSION:
Successful treatment with Gelfoam embolization of a large area of active
extravasation of the left gastric artery (gastric fundus).
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ female with gastrointestinal bleed, now intubated.
Assess position of ET tube.
COMPARISON: Chest radiograph from ___ and ___.
PORTABLE FRONTAL CHEST RADIOGRAPH: The patient has been intubated in the
interval and the endotracheal tube is positioned low, at the level of the
carina. Proximal repositioning by ___ to 2 cm is recommended. A right
approach PICC terminates in the upper SVC, unchanged. There is mild vascular
congestion, which is increased from prior examination. Large pleural
effusions are evident. Moderate-to-severe cardiomegaly is stable.
IMPRESSION:
1. Malpositioned endotracheal tube pointing towards the right main stem
bronchus, proximal repositioning by ___ to 2 cm is recommended.
2. Increasing pulmonary vascular congestion and mild edema.
Dr ___ communicated the above results (#1) to Dr. ___ at 1:30
p.m. on ___ by telephone.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ female admitted with GI bleed, now presenting with
hemoptysis.
COMPARISON: Chest radiographs dating back to ___, most recent from
___.
PORTABLE SEMI-ERECT FRONTAL CHEST RADIOGRAPH: An endotracheal tube is in
expected standard position. A right approach PICC terminates in the mid SVC,
unchanged from prior. There are worsening patchy bibasilar opacities, as
compared to most recent prior examination. There is possible small left
pleural effusion as well. Differential diagnosis for new basilar opacities
include atelectasis, pneumonia and hemorrhage given the clinical history of
hemoptysis. Upper lungs are clear. No overt interstitial edema is
identified. Lung volumes are low.
IMPRESSION: Standard position of support devices. New patchy basilar
opacities which may be due to atelectasis, pneumonia or hemorrhage.
Radiology Report
INDICATION:
___ female with recent right knee septic arthritis and cellulitis
which was placed on Coumadin for DVT prevention. Subsequently, patient
presented with large volume hematemesis and hypotension and the left gastric
artery was embolized on ___. After that, the patient continued to
bleed and repeat angiogram was requested.
ANESTHESIA:
Moderate sedation was provided by using fentanyl and Versed as per the ICU
nurse. 1% lidocaine was also used for local anesthesia.
OPERATORS:
Dr. ___, ___ fellow, and Dr. ___, ___ attending, who was
present and supervising.
PROCEDURES:
1. Right common femoral artery access.
2. Digital subtraction angiogram.
3. Superselective left gastric angiogram at the vessel origin.
4. Gelfoam and coil embolization of the remnant left gastric artery.
5. Digital subtraction angiogram of the GDA and branches.
PROCEDURE DETAILS:
Written informed consent was obtained from patient's healthcare proxy, after
explaining risks, benefits and alternatives to the procedure. The patient was
brought to the angiography suite and placed supine on the imaging table. The
right groin was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. A
preprocedure timeout was performed as per ___ protocol.
Using palpatory and fluoroscopic guidance, and using a micropuncture needle,
the right common femoral artery was punctured athe level of the mid femoral
head. Following, a 0.018 nitinol wire was advanced under fluoroscopy. The
needle was exchanged for a micropuncture sheath and the wire upsized for a
___ wire. Following, a 5 ___ x 20 cm ___ vascular sheath was then
advanced under fluoroscopy over the ___ wire . The sidearm of the sheath
was then attached to a heparinized saline sidearm. A longer sheath was used
given significant tortuosity in the right common iliac artery. Following, a C2
catheter was used to catheterize the celiac origin. Subsequently, a digital
subtraction angiogram was performed, which some residual but reduced flow into
the left gastric artery, as well as an unremarkable splenic artery.
Based on these findings, decision was made to gain further purchase into the
left gastric for a superselective run. Following, using a Renegade ___ and
a Transcend wire, the left gastric artery was catheterized. Digital
subtraction angiograms were performed, which demonstrated no flow in the
inferior branches of previously embolized bleeding branches of the left
gastric artery. Ongoing residual flow was identified in some upper branches
supplying the gastric fundus. No active extravasation was see. Based on the
clinical scenario a decision was made to complete the embolization of this
artery. Following, Gelfoam was used to achieve stasis in the entire left
gastric artery. Subsequently, 11 coils measuring 5 mm x 1.5 cm length were
pushed into the main left gastric artery to achieve complete flow stasis. A
final small amount of contrast injection demonstrated no flow into this
artery. Following, the microcatheter was used to be navigated further down
back into the GDA with aid of the Fathom microwire. Digital subtraction
angiogram was performed, which demonstrated a normal appaering right
gastroepiploic artery supplying the greater curvature of the stomach; however,
no evidence of active extravasation was identified. Normal anatomy was noted.
Based on these findings the decision was made to terminate the procedure.
All catheters and wires were removed. The vascular sheath was removed and 15
minutes of manual compression were used to achieve hemostasis. The patient
tolerated the procedure well without immediate complications.
IMPRESSION:
The previously treated inferior branches of the left gastric, which previously
had active extravasation remained occluded in the current study. No evidence
of further bleeding or active extravasation was seen. The superior branches
of the left gastric artery which were priorly occluded were partially
recanalized in today's study, and further treatment was performed with coils
and Gelfoam. The gastroepiploic artery was also studied, with no evidence of
active extravasation of bleed.
In summary, even though no active extravasation or bleeding was identified,
prophylactic completion embolization of the superior branches of the left
gastric artery was performed with a combination of coils and gelfoam with
complete cessation of flow to the treated arterial territory.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ female with GI bleed, asymmetric left lower extremity
swelling, evaluate for DVT.
COMPARISON: Left leg ultrasound ___.
FINDINGS:
Grayscale, color and Doppler images were obtained of the left common femoral,
femoral, popliteal and tibial veins. Normal flow, compression and
augmentation is seen in all of the vessels.
IMPRESSION:
No evidence of deep vein thrombosis in the left leg.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: GI bleed with massive transfusion, to assess for change.
FINDINGS: In comparison with the study of ___, the monitoring and support
devices are essentially unchanged. The patient has taken a slightly better
inspiration. The opacification at the right base is less prominent,
suggesting that much of it could have represented crowding of vessels related
to poor inspiration. Nevertheless, the possibility of continued atelectasis
or even pneumonia or hemorrhage must be considered. Retrocardiac
opacification persists, with similar differential diagnosis.
Radiology Report
REASON FOR EXAMINATION: Evaluation of the patient with large gastrointestinal
bleeding and new fever.
Portable AP radiograph of the chest was reviewed in comparison to ___.
The patient was extubated in the meantime interval. The patient is currently
in substantial vascular engorgement/interstitial edema. Bibasilar
consolidations are unchanged with no interval increase in pleural effusion or
pneumothorax. The bibasilar consolidations most likely represent part of
pulmonary edema/vascular engorgement, but infectious process in particular in
the left lower lung cannot be excluded, further surveillance is recommended.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ woman with new left PICC line.
COMPARISON: Prior chest radiograph from ___.
TECHNIQUE: Frontal chest radiograph.
FINDINGS: As compared to prior chest radiograph from ___, there has
been interval placement of a left-sided PICC line with its tip terminating in
the mid SVC. There is no pneumothorax. The cardiac silhouette remains
enlarged. Vascular engorgement and interstitial edema have improved. No new
focal consolidations are identified.

level of acuity: 1.0 | Dear Ms. ___,
It was a pleasure taking care of you during this admission. You
were admitted from a rehab facility on ___ after developing an
upper GI bleed. You were on coumadin after your knee surgery
which likely contributed to the bleeding. You were admitted to
the ICU and received blood transfusions. Multiple endoscopies
were completed that showed ulcers at the gastro-esophageal
junction. They were ablated to try to stop the bleeding. In
addition, interventional radiology embolized the left gastric
artery to stop the bleeding. The procedures were successful and
your bledding resolved. You were transferred out of the ICU once
you were stabilized. You did well without further bleeding. Your
hematocrit remained stable. Another endoscopy was performed to
examine the stomach, and it showed no bleeding.
While in the ICU you received IV fluids and blood products,
which caused significant swelling. You are being treated with
lasix to get some of the fluid off. Your electrolytes will need
to be monitored every other day while on this medication.
In addition, you are being treated for septic arthritis in the
right knee. You had a right knee washout during a previous
admission on ___. You will need to be on long-term IV
antibiotics for that infection until ___. You will be
getting the antibiotics through your PICC line. |

he was at HD and about one hour into treatment he began to feel
unwell. Describes feeling lightheaded, nauseous and fatigued. He
also developed chest pain/pressure with some associated mild
dyspnea which resolved on its own. Patient states symptoms not
similar to previous MI. He reports that he was feeling
frustrated because he was told the HD nurse put him on the wrong
K bath, so he asked to be de-accessed so he could go to the ED
to have his fistula evaluated.
Of note, patient had recent admission for subtherapeutic INR at
which time he was noted to be hyperkalemic. He was dialyzed
daily with little improvement in his potassium, so it was felt
that his fistula was malfunctioning. He was scheduled for
fistulogram inpatient but left AMA. Per ___ and patient he went
to scheduled fistula care appointment on ___, during which time
ultrasound revealed very poor flow through fistula. Patient
states that he is scheduled for intervention to "clean out"
fistula (presumably thrombectomy?) as outpatient on ___.

level of acuity: 2.0 | Dear Mr. ___,
You were admitted to ___ due to
chest discomfort. You were found to have a dangerously high
potassium and so you were admitted to the ICU. The treatment for
this high potassium is dialysis. However, your dialysis fistula
is non functioning correctly, and you were unable to undergo
dialysis successfully. We wanted to place a dialysis line into
your vein to give you dialysis, but you refused. We
alternatively were interested in completing a short session of
dialysis but you also refused this. The plan was to have the
dialysis fistula evaluated by our interventional radiologists.
However, you refused and wanted to go home to your regular
dialysis unit. We called your dialysis unit who is unable to
take you today. We are very concerned about you leaving and it
is against medical advice. We think there is a high risk of
sudden death and you may not feel any symptoms prior to death,
which is very worrisome. You vocalized that you were ok with
this risk, and repeated back that you were willing to take on
the risk of dying suddenly. You also refused medication called
kayexalate which helps remove potassium by having a bowel
movement. Although you refused this medication here, please
consider taking this once you leave. We have called it into your
pharmacy for you.
Please return to the hospital as soon as you are amenable. You
need dialysis and you need your dialysis fistula clot fixed.
We wish you the best in health.

There is normal compression and augmentation in the right common
femoral, superficial femoral and popliteal veins. There is
normal flow seen within the calf veins. Normal respiratory
phasicity is seen within the common femoral veins bilaterally.
Again, seen with in the distal medial portion of the calf is a
heterogeneous nodule which has increased in size, now measuring
3.65 x 1.25 x 1.4 cm and previously measuring 2.7 x 1 x 1.7 cm.

Followup Instructions:
___
Radiology Report
HISTORY: Right calf tenderness with recent induction chemotherapy for AML.
TECHNIQUE: Duplex Doppler examination was performed on the right lower
extremity.
COMPARISON: Right lower extremity ultrasound ___.
FINDINGS: There is normal compression and augmentation in the right common
femoral, superficial femoral and popliteal veins. There is normal flow seen
within the calf veins. Normal respiratory phasicity is seen within the common
femoral veins bilaterally.
Again, seen with in the distal medial portion of the calf is a heterogeneous
nodule which has increased in size, now measuring 3.65 x 1.25 x 1.4 cm and
previously measuring 2.7 x 1 x 1.7 cm. This nodule again demonstrates
internal flow as demonstrated on Power Doppler.
A small amount of fluid is seen superior to the calcaneus.
IMPRESSION:
1. No right lower extremity DVT.
2. Right lower extremity nodule with internal vascularity which has increased
in size from approximately 2 days prior. Again, this may represent a
hematoma, although, a another solid lesion is also a possibility. If this
doesn't resolve clinically, either followup ultrasound in 4 weeks or MRI is
recommended.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: ___ female with AML and new nodule on right lower extremity
ultrasound.
COMPARISON: Right lower extremity ultrasound of ___.
TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar T1 and T2 weighted MR images of the right calf were
obtained on a 1.5 T magnet. Sequences were acquired before and after
administration of 6 cc of IV gadolinium contrast.
FINDINGS:
1.8 x 1.3 x 3.2 cm (transverse x AP x sagittal ___ lesion centered in
the mid-calf between the flexor hallucis longus and soleus muscles is faintly
T1-hyperintense to muscle, heterogeneously T2-hyperintense, and has a thick
rim of peripheral enhancement with small central nonenhancement. There is
moderate adjacent soft tissue edema. The muscular structures of the calf
otherwise have normal bulk and signal.
This examination is not tailored for evaluation of the ligamentous structures.
Within this limitation, the lateral ligamentous structures, deep and
superficial deltoid ligaments appear intact. The anterior extensor tendons,
medial flexor tendons, and peroneal brevis and longus tendons are intact. The
Achilles tendon is normal. The retrocalcaneal and superficial bursa are
unremarkable.
The cartilage of the tibiotalar and subtalar joints is maintained. The marrow
signal is within normal limits. No ankle joint effusion.
IMPRESSION:
3.2 x 1.8 x 1.3 x cm lesion centered between the flexor hallucis longus and
soleus muscles is faintly T1-hyperintense, heterogeneously T2-hyperintense,
and has a thick rim of peripheral enhancement with central nonenhancement.
This is of uncertain etiology and could represent a developing hematoma,
abscess, or a leukemic focus with central necrosis. This lesion should be
followed to resolution.
Dr. ___ was unable to be contacted via the paging system and
findings were entered into the critical results dashboard for direct

level of acuity: 3.0 | Dear Ms. ___,
You were admitted to the hospital with abdominal pain and found
to have an infection in your gallbladder. You were taken to the
operating room and had your gallbladder removed
laparoscopically. You tolerated the procedure well and are now
being discharged home to continue your recovery with the
following instructions.
Please follow up in the Acute Care Surgery clinic at the
appointment listed below.
ACTIVITY:
o Do not drive until you have stopped taking pain medicine and
feel you could respond in an emergency.
o You may climb stairs.
o You may go outside, but avoid traveling long distances until
you see your surgeon at your next visit.
o Don't lift more than ___ lbs for 4 weeks. (This is about
the weight of a briefcase or a bag of groceries.) This applies
to lifting children, but they may sit on your lap.
o You may start some light exercise when you feel comfortable.
o You will need to stay out of bathtubs or swimming pools for a
time while your incision is healing. Ask your doctor when you
can resume tub baths or swimming.
HOW YOU MAY FEEL:
o You may feel weak or "washed out" for a couple of weeks. You
might want to nap often. Simple tasks may exhaust you.
o You may have a sore throat because of a tube that was in your
throat during surgery.
o You might have trouble concentrating or difficulty sleeping.
You might feel somewhat depressed.
o You could have a poor appetite for a while. Food may seem
unappealing.
o All of these feelings and reactions are normal and should go
away in a short time. If they do not, tell your surgeon.
YOUR INCISION:
o Tomorrow you may shower and remove the gauzes over your
incisions. Under these dressing you have small plastic bandages
called steri-strips. Do not remove steri-strips for 2 weeks.
(These are the thin paper strips that might be on your
incision.) But if they fall off before that that's okay).
o Your incisions may be slightly red around the stitches. This
is normal.
o You may gently wash away dried material around your incision.
o Avoid direct sun exposure to the incision area.
o Do not use any ointments on the incision unless you were told
otherwise.
o You may see a small amount of clear or light red fluid
staining your dressing or clothes. If the staining is severe,
please call your surgeon.
o You may shower. As noted above, ask your doctor when you may
resume tub baths or swimming.
YOUR BOWELS:
o Constipation is a common side effect of narcotic pain
medications. If needed, you may take a stool softener (such as
Colace, one capsule) or gentle laxative (such as milk of
magnesia, 1 tbs) twice a day. You can get both of these
medicines without a prescription.
o If you go 48 hours without a bowel movement, or have pain
moving the bowels, call your surgeon.
PAIN MANAGEMENT:
o It is normal to feel some discomfort/pain following abdominal
surgery. This pain is often described as "soreness".
o Your pain should get better day by day. If you find the pain
is getting worse instead of better, please contact your surgeon.
o You will receive a prescription for pain medicine to take by
mouth. It is important to take this medicine as directed. o Do
not take it more frequently than prescribed. Do not take more
medicine at one time than prescribed.
o Your pain medicine will work better if you take it before your
pain gets too severe.
o Talk with your surgeon about how long you will need to take
prescription pain medicine. Please don't take any other pain
medicine, including non-prescription pain medicine, unless your
surgeon has said its okay.
o If you are experiencing no pain, it is okay to skip a dose of
pain medicine.
o Remember to use your "cough pillow" for splinting when you
cough or when you are doing your deep breathing exercises.
If you experience any of the following, please contact your
surgeon:
- sharp pain or any severe pain that lasts several hours
- pain that is getting worse over time
- pain accompanied by fever of more than 101
- a drastic change in nature or quality of your pain
MEDICATIONS:
Take all the medicines you were on before the operation just as
you did before, unless you have been told differently.
If you have any questions about what medicine to take or not to
take, please call your surgeon. |

Radiology Report
PORTABLE CHEST X-RAY: ___
HISTORY: ___ male with cancer, anemia, and dyspnea. Question
pneumonia or effusion.
FINDINGS: Two portable AP views of the chest are compared to previous exam
from ___. There is stable right basilar opacity compatible with
patient's known lung mass. Elsewhere, the lungs are grossly clear.
Cardiomediastinal silhouette is again notable for thickening of the right
paratracheal stripe compatible with known mediastinal adenopathy. Osseous and
soft tissue structures are grossly unremarkable.
IMPRESSION: No acute cardiopulmonary process. Large right basilar mass and
mediastinal adenopathy.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: Hematocrit drop, evaluate for retroperitoneal bleed.
TECHNIQUE: MDCT axial images were acquired from the lung bases through the
lesser trochanters without the administration of oral or intravenous contrast
material. Multiplanar reformations were performed.
COMPARISON: CT abdomen and pelvis from ___.
ABDOMEN CT: Within the right lower lobe, there is a large mass, measuring up
to 12.5 x 10.5 cm in its greatest axial ___, not significantly changed
in size compared to ___, but incompletely evaluated on this
non-contrast study. As mentioned on the previous CT report, this mass encases
the right inferior pulmonary vein. The remainder of the visualized portions
of lung bases are clear. Relative hypodensity of blood within the ventricles
compared to the myocardium is consistent with anemia. There is a trace
pericardial effusion, as before.
Lack of intravenous contrast material limits assessment of the abdominal
organs. The liver is within normal limits. Mild gallbladder wall thickening
likely relates to the gallbladder's contracted state. The spleen, pancreas,
adrenal glands, and kidneys are within normal limits. A small right renal
hypodensity seen on prior CT from ___ is not well assessed on the
current study given the lack of intravenous contrast material. The stomach is
unremarkable. The small bowel is within normal limits. There is a
Richter-type hernia involving the transverse colon along the mid ventral
abdominal wall (2:34), unchanged in appearance. There is evidence of prior
partial colectomy (2:66). There is no bowel wall thickening or obstruction.
There is no free fluid or free air in the abdomen. Extensive retrocrural,
retroperitoneal, and mesenteric lymphadenopathy is increased compared to CT
from ___. For example, a previously seen tiny left paraaortic
node now measures 2.7 x 1.3 cm (2:47) and a previously 11 x 9 mm aortocaval
node now measures 16 x 13 mm (2:38). The abdominal aorta is normal in
caliber. Scattered aortic and biiliac artery calcifications are seen. There
is no retroperitoneal hematoma.
PELVIS CT: The bladder is unremarkable. Coarse prostatic calcifications are
seen. There is no free fluid in the pelvis. No pathologically enlarged
pelvic lymph nodes are seen.
BONE WINDOW: Within the left iliac bone, there is a small lucency (2:58),
nonspecific in nature, but not significantly changed in appearance compared to
CT from ___. No suspicious blastic lesions are seen. Multilevel
degenerative changes of the thoracolumbar spine are most severe at L4-5 and
L5-S1 where there is marked endplate sclerosis and disc vacuum phenomenon. As
before, the patient is status post bilateral L4 and L5 laminectomies. An old
posterior left tenth rib fracture is again seen.
IMPRESSION:
1. No evidence of a retroperitoneal hematoma.
2. Markedly increased retrocrural, retroperitoneal, and mesenteric
lymphadenopathy, as described above.
3. Incompletely evaluated large right lower lobe pulmonary mass, not
significantly changed in size compared to CT from ___.
4. Richter-type ventral abdominal wall hernia, involving the transverse
colon. No evidence of obstruction or strangulation.
5. Nonspecific lucency within the left iliac bone, not significantly changed
in appearance.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: ___ male with metastatic non-small cell lung carcinoma,
asymmetric leg swelling.
No prior examinations for comparison.
BILATERAL LOWER EXTREMITY ULTRASOUND: There is normal compressibility, flow,
and augmentation in the bilateral common femoral, greater saphenous,
superficial and deep femoral, and popliteal veins. Color flow is also noted
in the posterior tibial and peroneal veins. There is moderate subcutaneous
edema.

COMPARISON Prior CTA head from ___.
FINDINGS:
Limited examination due to patient motion, within this limitation, there are
multiple foci of restricted diffusion in the left MCA territory with
associated increased T2/FLAIR signal compatible with acute to subacute
infarct, likely thromboembolic given distribution pattern. Additional small
foci of high T2/FLAIR signal in the subcortical, deep, and periventricular
white matter of the cerebral hemispheres, which are nonspecific but may be
related to sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease in a patient of
this age. There is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage, mass, or midline
shift. The ventricles and sulci are normal in caliber and configuration.
There major arterial flow voids are grossly preserved. The visualized
paranasal sinuses mastoid air cells are clear. The orbits are unremarkable.

EXAMINATION: CTA HEAD AND NECK WITH PERFUSION PQ149 CT HEADNECK
INDICATION: History: ___ with weakness// stroke
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous MDCT axial images were obtained through the brain
without contrast material. Subsequently, helically acquired rapid axial
imaging was performed from the aortic arch through the brain during the
infusion of intravenous contrast material. Three-dimensional angiographic
volume rendered, curved reformatted and segmented images were generated on a
dedicated workstation. This report is based on interpretation of all of these
images.
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 8.0 s, 8.0 cm; CTDIvol = 50.2 mGy (Head) DLP =

4) Stationary Acquisition 5.5 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 59.9 mGy (Head) DLP =
30.0 mGy-cm.
5) Spiral Acquisition 4.7 s, 37.0 cm; CTDIvol = 31.8 mGy (Head) DLP =
1,177.7 mGy-cm.
Total DLP (Head) = 5,026 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS:
Study is degraded by motion and dental amalgam streak artifact, especially
limiting evaluation of the posterior fossa..
CT HEAD:
Within these limitations, there is no evidence for acute hemorrhage, mass
effect, or edema.
The ventricles and sulci are moderately prominent compatible global
parenchymal volume loss. Periventricular and subcortical white matter FLAIR
hyperintensities are noted, a nonspecific finding that most likely represents
the sequelae of chronic small vessel ischemic disease.
The paranasal sinuses, middle ear cavities, and mastoid air cells are clear.
The patient is status post bilateral lens replacement..
CTA HEAD AND NECK:
There is a normal 3 vessel aortic arch identified. The vertebral arteries are
patent without high-grade stenosis or occlusion.
The bilateral common carotid arteries are patent. Minimal calcifications are
seen at the bilateral carotid bulbs. Mild partially calcified atherosclerotic
disease within the proximal internal carotid arteries resulting approximately
20% stenosis by NASCET criteria on the right, without definite stenosis on the
left.
Mild-to-moderate calcifications are seen at the bilateral cavernous internal
carotid arteries. Although no discrete vessel occlusion is identified, there
appears to be mildly decreased asymmetric arborization of the distal left
M3/M4 branches (for example, 601:26).
Question left P1 origin infundibulum versus approximately 1 mm aneurysm (see
658:17). Otherwise, no additional sites of high-grade stenosis, occlusion, or
aneurysm. There is a fetal origin of the left posterior communicating artery.
The dural venous sinuses are patent.
CT PERFUSION:
There is a moderate sized area of increased mean transit time with mildly
decreased cerebral blood flow seen within the left parietal temporal lobe.
This correlates with a mismatch volume of 42 mm, per the RAPID software.
OTHER:
The lung apices demonstrate moderate to severe centrilobular emphysematous
changes, subpleural reticulations, and evidence of mild air-trapping.
The thyroid gland is diffusely heterogeneous and demonstrates 1.5 cm irregular
nodule with mild peripheral calcification seen extending from the posterior
inferior left thyroid lobe.
Multiple prominent cervical and mediastinal lymph nodes are identified, none
of which are pathologically enlarged by CT size criteria.
IMPRESSION:
1. Study is degraded by motion and dental amalgam streak artifact, especially
limiting evaluation of the posterior fossa.
2. Within limits of study, no definite acute intracranial hemorrhage. Please
note MRI of the brain is more sensitive for the detection of acute infarct.
3. CT perfusion demonstrates increased mean transit time with areas of mildly
decreased cerebral blood flow within the left parietal temporal lobe. If
clinically indicated, consider brain MRI for further evaluation.
4. Decreased distal arborization of the left M3/M4 branches, which may
correlate with the area of decreased cerebral perfusion.
5. Punctate left expected P1 origin probable infundibulum versus approximately
1 mm aneurysm.
6. Otherwise grossly patent intracranial and cervical carotid and vertebral
arteries.
7. 1.5 cm partially calcified inferior left thyroid nodule. Please see
recommendation below.
8. Nonspecific cervical lymphadenopathy as described, image may be reactive,
however neoplastic or inflammatory etiologies are not excluded on the basis of
this examination. Recommend correlation with oncologic history.
9. Limited imaging lungs demonstrate moderate to severe centrilobular
emphysematous changes with air trapping. If clinically indicated, consider
dedicated chest imaging for further evaluation.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
1. Nonspecific cervical lymphadenopathy as described, image may be reactive,
however neoplastic or inflammatory etiologies are not excluded on the basis of
this examination. Recommend correlation with oncologic history.
2. Thyroid nodule. Ultrasound follow up recommended if not already performed.

IMAGING/PROCEDURES:
ERCP
Impression: Initial cannulation of the biliary duct with the
sphincterotome and a cannulation was not successful due to an
extremely stenotic papilla.
Because the papilla was stenotic, a small pre-cut needle knife
sphincterotomy was made.
A small amount of bile flow was then seen. Following the
pre-cut sphincterotomy, deep cannulation was ultimately
successful with a sphincterotome
No evidence post sphincterotomy bleeding was noted
The common bile duct, common hepatic duct, right and left
hepatic ducts, biliary radicles and cystic duct were filled with
contrast and well visualized.
The course and caliber of the structures are normal with no
evidence of extrinsic compression, no ductal abnormalities, and
no filling defects,
8 mm balloon was used to sweep the CBD, initial sweep showed
small amount of sludge. Sweeps were repeated until no further
sludge was noted.
There was excellent flow of bile at the end of the procedure
Otherwise normal ercp to third part of the duodenum

from ___ with a complaint of altered mental status in the
context of one day of epigastric pain followed by 3 episodes of
vomiting. Per outside reports, the patient was complaining of
abdominal pain at home with her son. She got up to go to the
bathroom, vomited with retching, and walked over to the couch to
sit, and her son noted that she "looked off". She was taken to
an outside hospital where she was noted to have depressed mental
status, aphasic, and progressively became more unresponsive and
seemed to have a left gaze preference, right sided facial droop,
and was without movement of the right upper or lower
extremities. A non-contrast Head CT was obtained, and notable
for left frontal IPH. The patient was given Zofran, Ativan in
order to obtain the CT scan prior to transfer here. She was
given 1 g of Keppra prior to arrival.

ANESTHESIA: Moderate sedation was provided by administrating divided doses of
25mcg of fentanyl and 0.5 mg of midazolam throughout the total intra-service
time of 11 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: None
CONTRAST: 15 ml of Optiray contrast
FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 2.0, 64 mGy
PROCEDURE:
1. IVC venogram.
2. Infrarenal Denali IVC filter deployment.
3. Post-filter placement venogram.
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.
Under ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance, the patent and compressible Right
common femoral vein was punctured using a 21G micropuncture needle. Ultrasound
images of the access was stored on PACS. A Amplatz wire was advanced through
the micropuncture sheath into the inferior vena cava. The sheath of the IVC
filter was then placed into the iliac vein.
A iliac and inferior vena cava venogram was performed. Based on the results of
the venogram, detailed below, a decision was made to place a infrarenal
filter. The filter sheath was advanced over the wire into the IVC past the
take-off of the renal vessels. An inferior vena cava filter was advanced over
the wire until the cranial tip was at the level of the inferior margin of the
lower renal vein. The sheath was then withdrawn until the filter was deployed.
The wire and loading device were then removed through the sheath and a repeat
contrast injection was performed, confirming appropriate filter positioning.
The final image was stored on PACS.
The sheath was removed and pressure was held for 10 minutes,at which point
hemostasis was achieved. A sterile dressing was applied.
The patient tolerated the procedure well and there were no immediate post
procedure complications.

You came to the hospital because you had abdominal pain, right
sided weakness and difficulty speaking. You had imaging which
showed a large bleeding stroke in the left side of your brain.
You also had a possible stroke or mass on the right side of your
brain.
For your bleeding stroke, we controlled your blood pressure to
prevent more bleeding. Neurosurgery saw you and recommended no
surgery as the bleed was too large.
You also had blood work which showed your had inflammation of
your pancreas. We tested you for common causes of pancreas
inflammation which were all negative. The pancreas inflammation
may have been caused by a medication or supplement. For your
pancreatitis, you were given fluids and you improved.
Because of your stroke, you were not able to swallow and a

appendicitis. You were taken to the opertating room to have
your appendix removed. You are recovery nicely from the surgery
and you are preparing for discharge home with the following
instructions:
You were admitted to the hospital with acute appendicitis. You
were taken to the operating room and had your appendix removed
laparoscopically. You tolerated the procedure well and are now
being discharged home with the following instructions:
Please follow up at the appointment in clinic listed below. We
also generally recommend that patients follow up with their
primary care provider after having surgery. We have scheduled an
appointment for you listed below.
ACTIVITY:
Do not drive until you have stopped taking pain medicine and
feel you could respond in an emergency.
You may climb stairs.
You may go outside, but avoid traveling long distances until you
see your surgeon at your next visit.
Don't lift more than ___ lbs for ___ weeks. (This is about the
weight of a briefcase or a bag of groceries.) This applies to
lifting children, but they may sit on your lap.
You may start some light exercise when you feel comfortable.
You will need to stay out of bathtubs or swimming pools for a
time while your incision is healing. Ask your doctor when you
can resume tub baths or swimming.
HOW YOU MAY FEEL:
You may feel weak or "washed out" a couple weeks. You might want
to nap often. Simple tasks may exhaust you.
You may have a sore throat because of a tube that was in your
throat during surgery.
You could have a poor appetite for a couple days. Food may seem
unappealing.
All of these feelings and reactions are normal and should go
away in a short time. If they do not, tell your surgeon.
YOUR INCISION:
Tomorrow you may shower and remove the gauzes over your
incisions. Under these dressings you have small plastic bandages
called steristrips. Do not remove steri-strips for 2 weeks.
(These are the thin paper strips that might be on your
incision.) But if they fall off before that that's okay.
Your incisions may be slightly red around the stitches. This is
normal.
You may gently wash away dried material around your incision.
Avoid direct sun exposure to the incision area.
Do not use any ointments on the incision unless you were told
otherwise.
You may see a small amount of clear or light red fluid staining
your dressing or clothes. If the staining is severe, please call
your surgeon.
You may shower. As noted above, ask your doctor when you may
resume tub baths or swimming.
YOUR BOWELS:
Constipation is a common side effect of narcotic pain
medicaitons. If needed, you may take a stool softener (such as
Colace, one capsule) or gentle laxative (such as milk of
magnesia, 1 tbs) twice a day. You can get both of these
medicines without a prescription.
If you go 48 hours without a bowel movement, or have pain moving
the bowels, call your surgeon.
PAIN MANAGEMENT:
It is normal to feel some discomfort/pain following abdominal
surgery. This pain is often described as "soreness".
Your pain should get better day by day. If you find the pain is
getting worse instead of better, please contact your surgeon.
You will receive a prescription for pain medicine to take by
mouth. It is important to take this medicine as directed. Do not
take it more frequently than prescribed. Do not take more
medicine at one time than prescribed. Do not drink alcohol or
drive while taking narcotic pain medication.
Your pain medicine will work better if you take it before your
pain gets too severe.
Talk with your surgeon about how long you will need to take
prescription pain medicine. Please don't take any other pain
medicine, including non-prescription pain medicine, unless your
surgeon has said its okay.
If you are experiencing no pain, it is okay to skip a dose of
pain medicine.
Remember to use your "cough pillow" for splinting when you cough
or when you are doing your deep breathing exercises.
If you experience any of the following, please contact your
surgeon:
- sharp pain or any severe pain that lasts several hours
- pain that is getting worse over time
- pain accompanied by fever of more than 101
- a drastic change in nature or quality of your pain
MEDICATIONS:
Take all the medicines you were on before the operation just as
you did before, unless you have been told differently.
If you have any questions about what medicine to take or not to
take, please call your surgeon.
DANGER SIGNS:
Please call your surgeon if you develop:
- worsening abdominal pain
- sharp or severe pain that lasts several hours
- temperature of 101 degrees or higher
- severe diarrhea
- vomiting
- redness around the incision that is spreading
- increased swelling around the incision
- excessive bruising around the incision
- cloudy fluid coming from the wound

IMPRESSION:
1. Moderately distended gallbladder with mobile shadowing
gallstones.
Pericholecystic fluid and minimal gallbladder wall thickening is
non-specific
and can be seen in chronic liver disease.
2. Nodular and heterogeneous liver compatible with cirrhosis
with multiple
lesions consistent with HCC, better seen on MR from ___.
Multiple enlarged portahepatic lymph nodes and moderate ascites.
___ KUB
FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph, there is
unchanged evidence
of air-fluid levels in several small bowel loops. The overall
diameter and
mild distention of the previous radiograph are no longer
present. However,
there is increasing distention of bowel loops noted in the
middle abdomen.
The concern for ascites persists. There is no evidence of free
intra-abdominal air. Presence of a coil projecting over the
right upper
quadrant is unchanged.
___ CT abd/pelvis
Final Report
INDICATION: End-stage liver disease with hepatocellular
carcinoma and five
days of abdominal bloating and pain. Evaluate for small bowel
obstruction.
COMPARISONS: CT of the abdomen and pelvis without contrast from
___. MRI of abdomen with and without contrast from ___.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT images were obtained through
the abdomen and
pelvis after the administration of IV and oral contrast.
Sagittal and coronal
reformatted images were obtained and reviewed.
TOTAL DLP: 388.9 mGy-cm.
FINDINGS:
LUNG BASES: There is minimal bibasilar atelectasis and
reticulation. No
focal consolidation or discrete nodule is identified. The base
of the heart
is normal in size. There is no pericardial effusion.
ABDOMEN: The liver is shrunken and nodular, consistent with
cirrhosis. In
the inferior left lobe, there is a 42 x 30 x 28 mm hypodensity
(2, 27 and 8B,
12) at the site of a prior radiofrequency ablation. The
contours are slightly
irregular. There is a small amount of air within the
hypodensity (2, 24). A
tiny of locule of air present more anteriorly also appears to be
within the
hypodensity (9b, 37). The size of this hypodensity has
increased from the
prior MRI in ___, at which time it measured 30 x 23
mm. The
multiple known hepatocellular carcinomas are not well evaluated
on this
single-phase contrast CT. Subtle irregular hypodensities
throughout the
bilateral lobes of the liver, more prominent on the left than
the right,
represents the hepatocellular carcinoma. Exact measurements are
difficult to
determine. The largest is in the mid left lobe and is partially
exophytic.
It measures about 82 x 53 mm (6, 19). In comparison to the
prior MRI, the
exophytic portion appears larger, suggesting that the
hepatocellular
carcinomas are progressing.
The portal vein, SMV, and the splenic vein are patent. A
metallic focus in
the mid liver is unchanged. The gallbladder is distended,
though there is no
wall thickening to suggest cholecystitis. Stones are layering
in the
gallbladder. There is no intra or extra-hepatic biliary duct
dilation.
In the hepatic hilum, there is a soft tissue mass which measures
52 x 44 mm
(6, 29). It previously measured 40 x 34 mm. In the left upper
quadrant,
there is a second soft tissue mass which measures 56 x 42 mm.
It previously
measured 47 x 35 mm. This increasing size is consistent with
progression of
metastatic disease. Other smaller lymph nodes are present
around the celiac
axis and in the hepatic hilum. There are borderline enlarged.
Small lymph
nodes are also noted in the retroperitoneum, and do not meet
criteria for
pathologic enlargement. No new lymphadenopathy or mesenteric
masses are
identified.
There is a moderate amount of ascites, increased from the prior
MRI in
___.
The pancreas is normal without focal masses or inflammatory
changes. The duct
is not dilated. The bilateral adrenal glands are normal. The
kidneys are
normal without hydronephrosis, renal masses, or pyelonephritis.
The kidneys
enhance and excrete contrast symmetrically.
The stomach is not distended. The loops of small bowel are
normal in caliber
and filled with oral contrast. The distal and terminal ileum
are slightly
prominent (6, 50), but oral contrast passes freely into the
large bowel,
suggesting there is no obstruction. The large bowel is normal
in caliber.
There are no surrounding inflammatory changes or evidence of a
mass.
The abdominal vasculature is normal in caliber without evidence
of aneurysm.
Mild atherosclerotic calcifications are identified.
PELVIS: The bladder and prostate are unremarkable. There is no
pelvic or
inguinal lymphadenopathy. Small bilateral fat-containing
inguinal hernias are
noted. There is a moderate amount of free fluid in the pelvis,
consistent
with ascites.
OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: In the right iliac bone, there is a
sclerotic focus (6,
55), which is most likely a bone island. Additionally in the
right ilium,
there are several small lucencies (6, 60). There are other
smaller scattered
lucencies throughout the bones of the pelvis and in the left
femur. These
were not previously imaged, as the pelvis has not been imaged in
the past. No
fracture is identified. Minimal degenerative changes are noted
in the lower
lumbar spine.
IMPRESSION:
1. Interval enlargement of the hypodensity in the left lobe of
the liver at
the site of the prior ablation site. Locules of air are of
uncertain
significance and superimposed infection is not excluded.
2. Interval enlargement of the known hepatocellular carcinomas
and the
hepatic hilar and left mesenteric metastases. No new discrete
metastases are
identified.
3. New moderate ascites.
4. No evidence of a small bowel obstruction.
5. New scattered small lucencies in the pelvis, of uncertain
etiology. These
would be atypical for hepatocellular carcinoma metastases. If
further workup
is required, could correlate with an SPEP/UPEP.
6. Cholelithiasis without cholecystitis.
___ paracentesis
PROCEDURE: Ultrasound-guided diagnostic and therapeutic
paracentesis.
PROCEDURE IN DETAIL: After the risks, benefits and alternatives
of the
procedure were explained to the patient, written informed
consent was
obtained. A preprocedure timeout was performed using three
patient
identifiers and the procedure to be performed as per standard
___ protocol.
An initial four-quadrant ultrasound of the abdomen demonstrated
small to
moderate volume ascites, predominantly within the right lower
quadrant. A
suitable spot was marked in the right lower quadrant under
ultrasound
guidance. The skin was prepped and draped in the usual sterile
fashion. 1%
lidocaine was used to anesthetize the skin and subcutaneous
tissues. A 5
___ ___ catheter was then advanced into the abdominal
cavity.
Approximately 1.2 liters of clear yellow fluid was drained. As
requested,
samples were sent for microbiology and chemistry.
The patient tolerated the procedure well and no immediate
post-procedure
complications were observed.
The attending radiologist, Dr. ___ was present throughout the
procedure.
ULTRASOUND OF THE LIVER: Limited ultrasound evaluation of a left
lobe
radiofrequency ablation bed shows a lesion that is centrally
isoechoic to
liver parenchyma with a hypoechoic border. The lesion measures
3.2 x 2.8 x 3.8
cm and demonstrates a lack of through transmission which
suggests a lack of
fluid component. The lesion contains a locule of gas.
IMPRESSION:
1. Successful ultrasound-guided paracentesis yielding 1.2
liters of clear
yellow fluid. Samples sent for microbiology and chemistry as
requested.
2. Radiofrequency ablation bed in the left lobe of the liver is

Radiology Report
HISTORY: Right upper quadrant pain, evaluate for biliary obstruction.
TECHNIQUE: Grayscale and Doppler ultrasound images of the abdomen were
obtained.
COMPARISON: Abdominal ultrasound from ___ and MR from ___.
FINDINGS: The liver has a nodular, heterogeneous, and coarsened echotexture
consistent with clinical history of cirrhosis. Multiple hepatic lesions are
seen, consistent with previously described HCC and better seen on the MR from
___. There is no intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary
dilatation, and the common bile duct measures 4 mm. The main portal vein is
patent and has normal hepatopetal flow. The gallbladder is moderately
distended with mobile shadowing gallstones. There is perihepatic ascites and
pericholecystic fluid. The gallbladder wall is minimally thickened, which is
nonspecific and can be seen with chronic liver disease. Sonographic ___
sign was negative. Multiple enlarged portahepatic lymph nodes are seen, the
largest measuring 2.2 x 2.5 x 2.1 cm, and was present on the prior MRI. The
spleen is homogeneous in echotexture and measures 11.2 cm. There is a
moderate amount of ascites seen.
IMPRESSION:
1. Moderately distended gallbladder with mobile shadowing gallstones.
Pericholecystic fluid and minimal gallbladder wall thickening is non-specific
and can be seen in chronic liver disease.
2. Nodular and heterogeneous liver compatible with cirrhosis with multiple

Multiple enlarged portahepatic lymph nodes and moderate ascites.
Radiology Report
HISTORY: Abdominal distention.
COMPARISON: MRI abdomen ___, CT abdomen ___, chest
radiograph ___
TECHNIQUE: Upright and supine AP views of the abdomen.
FINDINGS:
Dilatation of small bowel loops to 3.3 cm are demonstrated with at least 2
air-fluid levels noted on the upright view. Findings are concerning for
either an early or partial small-bowel obstruction, with air seen distally in
colonic loops of bowel. Bowel loops are centrally located, indicative of
underlying ascites. Embolization coil is noted in the right upper quadrant of
the abdomen. Sclerotic focus overlying the right iliac wing is presumably a
bone island. There is no free intraperitoneal air or pneumatosis. Coarse
interstitial abnormalities are noted at the lung bases, as seen on the prior
chest radiograph from ___, and likely reflective of chronic
interstitial lung disease.
IMPRESSION:
Dilated loops of small bowel may reflect an early or partial small bowel
obstruction. Central location of bowel loops indicative of underlying
ascites. No free intraperitoneal air.
Radiology Report
ABDOMEN
Questionable obstruction.
COMPARISON: ___.
FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph, there is unchanged evidence
of air-fluid levels in several small bowel loops. The overall diameter and
mild distention of the previous radiograph are no longer present. However,
there is increasing distention of bowel loops noted in the middle abdomen.
The concern for ascites persists. There is no evidence of free
intra-abdominal air. Presence of a coil projecting over the right upper
quadrant is unchanged.
Radiology Report
INDICATION: End-stage liver disease with hepatocellular carcinoma and five
days of abdominal bloating and pain. Evaluate for small bowel obstruction.
COMPARISONS: CT of the abdomen and pelvis without contrast from ___. MRI of abdomen with and without contrast from ___.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT images were obtained through the abdomen and
pelvis after the administration of IV and oral contrast. Sagittal and coronal
reformatted images were obtained and reviewed.
TOTAL DLP: 388.9 mGy-cm.
FINDINGS:
LUNG BASES: There is minimal bibasilar atelectasis and reticulation. No
focal consolidation or discrete nodule is identified. The base of the heart
is normal in size. There is no pericardial effusion.
ABDOMEN: The liver is shrunken and nodular, consistent with cirrhosis. In
the inferior left lobe, there is a 42 x 30 x 28 mm hypodensity (2, 27 and 8B,
12) at the site of a prior radiofrequency ablation. The contours are slightly
irregular. There is a small amount of air within the hypodensity (2, 24). A
tiny of locule of air present more anteriorly also appears to be within the
hypodensity (9b, 37). The size of this hypodensity has increased from the
prior MRI in ___, at which time it measured 30 x 23 mm. The
multiple known hepatocellular carcinomas are not well evaluated on this
single-phase contrast CT. Subtle irregular hypodensities throughout the
bilateral lobes of the liver, more prominent on the left than the right,
represents the hepatocellular carcinoma. Exact measurements are difficult to
determine. The largest is in the mid left lobe and is partially exophytic.
It measures about 82 x 53 mm (6, 19). In comparison to the prior MRI, the
exophytic portion appears larger, suggesting that the hepatocellular
carcinomas are progressing.
The portal vein, SMV, and the splenic vein are patent. A metallic focus in
the mid liver is unchanged. The gallbladder is distended, though there is no
wall thickening to suggest cholecystitis. Stones are layering in the
gallbladder. There is no intra or extra-hepatic biliary duct dilation.
In the hepatic hilum, there is a soft tissue mass which measures 52 x 44 mm
(6, 29). It previously measured 40 x 34 mm. In the left upper quadrant,
there is a second soft tissue mass which measures 56 x 42 mm. It previously
measured 47 x 35 mm. This increasing size is consistent with progression of
metastatic disease. Other smaller lymph nodes are present around the celiac
axis and in the hepatic hilum. There are borderline enlarged. Small lymph
nodes are also noted in the retroperitoneum, and do not meet criteria for
pathologic enlargement. No new lymphadenopathy or mesenteric masses are
identified.
There is a moderate amount of ascites, increased from the prior MRI in
___.
The pancreas is normal without focal masses or inflammatory changes. The duct
is not dilated. The bilateral adrenal glands are normal. The kidneys are
normal without hydronephrosis, renal masses, or pyelonephritis. The kidneys
enhance and excrete contrast symmetrically.
The stomach is not distended. The loops of small bowel are normal in caliber
and filled with oral contrast. The distal and terminal ileum are slightly
prominent (6, 50), but oral contrast passes freely into the large bowel,
suggesting there is no obstruction. The large bowel is normal in caliber.
There are no surrounding inflammatory changes or evidence of a mass.
The abdominal vasculature is normal in caliber without evidence of aneurysm.
Mild atherosclerotic calcifications are identified.
PELVIS: The bladder and prostate are unremarkable. There is no pelvic or
inguinal lymphadenopathy. Small bilateral fat-containing inguinal hernias are
noted. There is a moderate amount of free fluid in the pelvis, consistent
with ascites.
OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: In the right iliac bone, there is a sclerotic focus (6,
55), which is most likely a bone island. Additionally in the right ilium,
there are several small lucencies (6, 60). There are other smaller scattered
lucencies throughout the bones of the pelvis and in the left femur. These
were not previously imaged, as the pelvis has not been imaged in the past. No
fracture is identified. Minimal degenerative changes are noted in the lower
lumbar spine.
IMPRESSION:
1. Interval enlargement of the hypodensity in the left lobe of the liver at
the site of the prior ablation site. Locules of air are of uncertain
significance and superimposed infection is not excluded.
2. Interval enlargement of the known hepatocellular carcinomas and the
hepatic hilar and left mesenteric metastases. No new discrete metastases are
identified.
3. New moderate ascites.
4. No evidence of a small bowel obstruction.
5. New scattered small lucencies in the pelvis, of uncertain etiology. These
would be atypical for hepatocellular carcinoma metastases. If further workup
is required, could correlate with an SPEP/UPEP.
6. Cholelithiasis without cholecystitis.

INDICATION: ___ year old woman with bilateral flank collections // drainage
of collections
After discussion with plastic surgery and the ICU team, the decision was made
to drain the left lower quadrant collection only given that the right lower
quadrant collection is small, thin with flat configuration, and spontaneously
decompressed itself through the skin.
COMPARISON: Outside CT abdomen ___.
PROCEDURE: Ultrasound-guided drainage of left lower quadrant abdominal wall
collection.
OPERATORS: Dr. ___ radiology fellow and Dr. ___,
___ radiologist, who personally 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 US scan table. Limited
preprocedure ultrasound was performed to localize the collection. Based on
the ultrasound findings an appropriate skin entry site for the drain placement
was chosen in the left lower quadrant. The site was marked. Local anesthesia
was administered with diluted diphenhydramine givens the patient's allergy to
lidocaine.
Using continuous sonographic guidance, ___ Exodus drainage catheter was
advanced via trocar technique into the collection. A sample of fluid was
aspirated, confirming catheter position within the collection. The pigtail
was deployed. The position of the pigtail was confirmed within the collection
via ultrasound.
Approximately 100 cc of purulent fluid was drained 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.
SEDATION: 0.5 mg IV Dilaudid.
FINDINGS:
1. Left lower quadrant abdominal wall fluid collection measures about 9 x 2
cm.
2. Removal of 100 cc purulent fluid.

mGy-cm.
Total DLP (Body) = 964 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: ___ CT abdomen/pelvis, ___ CT torso, ___ CT torso, ___ CT torso
FINDINGS:
HEART/VASCULATURE: There is ascending aortic aneurysm rupture with active
extravasation of contrast near the level of the sino-tubular junction, above
the coronary sinuses, resulting in hemomediastinum and hemopericardium. There
is a small amount of mass effect on the right atrium. Blood products extend
along the proximal aortic arch, some of which may be intramural, overall
narrowing the lumen from the previous 4.9 cm diameter to a diameter of
approximately 4.2 cm. Blood products also extend along the course of the
pulmonary arteries to the subsegmental level on the right and the lobar level
on the left, also resulting in mass effect on the overall caliber of the
pulmonary arteries with the main pulmonary artery measuring up to 2.7 cm,
previously 4.1 cm. The pulmonary arteries appear patent to the subsegmental
level. The great vessel origins demonstrate mild atherosclerosis, but are
patent. The descending thoracic aorta is unchanged compared to prior
examinations with mild calcified atherosclerosis, but no penetrating
atherosclerotic ulcer formation or evidence of dissection.
The abdominal aorta is patent and normal in caliber, without dissection.
There is a slight focal ectasia of the infrarenal abdominal aorta without
aneurysm, measuring up to 2.3 cm (series 2, image 139). The iliac branches
are patent and normal in caliber. There is slight aneurysmal dilatation of
the proximal right common hepatic artery, which branches early off of the
common hepatic artery (series 2, image 108, 110), measuring up to 7 mm. The
SMA and renal arteries are patent and normal in caliber.
MEDIASTINUM/HILA/AXILLA: No mediastinal, hilar, or axillary lymphadenopathy
appreciable.
LUNGS/PLEURA: No pleural effusion or pneumothorax. There is thickening of the
central pulmonary interstitium, compatible with extension of blood products
along the bronchovascular structures. No significant pulmonary nodule or
consolidation.
LOWER NECK: The visualized portion of the base of the neck is unremarkable.
ABDOMEN:
HEPATOBILIARY: A hypoattenuating lesion in segment II/segment IV is too small
to completely characterize, but unchanged compared to prior examinations,
likely reflecting a cyst or biliary hamartoma. The remainder of the hepatic
parenchyma enhances homogeneously. Since ___, there has been
interval removal of a common bile duct stent. There is mild intrahepatic
pneumobilia, but no significant intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary ductal
dilatation-pneumobilia likely the result of prior ERCP with sphincterotomy.
The gallbladder is also contains few locules of air without wall thickening or
adjacent fat stranding.
PANCREAS: The pancreas has normal attenuation throughout, without evidence of

Chief Complaint:
Found down, likely secondary to alcohol intoxications
Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure:
None
History of Present Illness:
The patient is a ___ man with a h/o alcohol abuse complicated
by withdrawal seizing episodes in the past, cirrhosis ___ EtOH
and HCV with varices (last admitted in ___ for GI bleed
secondary to varices at which time he required intubation, and
again in ___ for EtoH intoxication and hematemesis), who
was initially admitted for complicated alcohol withdrawal.
He had initially been found down in the street around ___,
and taken by EMS to the ___ ED. He reports drinking that
evening but does not recall other details. In the ED he was
afebrile, not tachycardic (heart rate ___, and otherwise
stable. He was unresponsive and only withdrew to pain. His EtOH
level was
433, lactate was 2.4. Labs were also notable for LFT elevation
with AST>ALT pattern. In the ED, he received 2mg of lorazepam
that resulted in somnolence. He was given Naloxone but did not
demonstrate a response to it. CT Spine/CT Head imaging was clear
for any abnormalities. Tox screen positive for EtOH,
amphetamines, negative for opiates.
He then had an evolving oxygen requirement from 2 L up to 4L NC
in the ED, and thus had a chest CTA that was negative for PE or
other acute processes. His oxygen requirement spontaneously
resolved, but due to an increase in his heart rate to the 120s,
he was admitted to the MICU for further care. He had a fever
with
TMax 101.6F that resolved spontaneously.
In the MICU, he was originally not given Phenobarbital, but he
later ultimately received one loading dose of this at 0200 ___
(300 mg IV). He also had a repeat lactate which was 3.5, after
which he received 1L LR, with improvement to 1.5. His INR was
1.8 on admission and he was given a Vit K challenge, as well as
thiamine and folate. It is unclear whether he has been taking
his other home medications (Nadalol and Lactulose).
In terms of past medical history, he reports a diagnosis of
cirrhosis secondary to Hep C and alcohol use, he is not followed
by any hepatologist. He has a prescription for Adderall but
denies filling this or using this medication. He reports
contracting Hep C due to IVDU ___ years ago. He denies IVDU at
this time as well as opiates, cocaine, MJ,
or other substances.
During his last hospitalization, he was placed under Section 35.
He reports going to ___ for a detox program and being
discharged after 3 weeks. He states he did not find it helpful
and does not want to return to that program or any other
program.

Followup Instructions:
___
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST
INDICATION: ___ with dizziness, anticoagulated, recent fall, evaluate for
bleed or other acute intracranial process.
TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images of the brain were obtained without
contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations as well as bone algorithm
reconstructions were provided and reviewed.
DOSE: Total DLP (Head) = 1,204 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: Prior head CT dated ___.
FINDINGS:
There is no evidence of infarction, hemorrhage, edema, or mass. The ventricles
and sulci are normal in size and configuration.
There is no evidence of fracture.
Mild mucosal thickening is noted within bilateral maxillary sinuses with more
moderate mucosal thickening noted within the anterior ethmoidal air cells.
The visualized portion of the mastoid air cells and middle ear cavities are
clear. The visualized portion of the orbits are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION:
No acute intracranial process.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: CTA CHEST WITH CONTRAST
INDICATION: ___ with PE being treated with Coumadin, now presents with
dizziness, pleurisy, and tachycardia, evaluate for worsening pulmonary
embolism or other acute process.
TECHNIQUE: Axial multidetector CT images were obtained through the thorax
after the uneventful administration of intravenous contrast. Reformatted
coronal, sagittal, thin slice axial images, and oblique maximal intensity
projection images were submitted to PACS and reviewed.
DOSE: Total DLP (Body) = 801 mGy-cm.
COMPARISON: Prior chest CT dated ___.
FINDINGS:
HEART AND VASCULATURE: Pulmonary vasculature is well opacified to the
segmental level. Subsegmental branches are not well opacified due to motion
and timing of contrast. The previously seen left lower lobe pulmonary
embolism is less well demonstrated on the present study, likely due to a
combination of bolus timing and embolus evolution. Similar right lower lobe
subsegmental filling defect (3:145) is again noted. No new filling defects
are seen to suggest interval embolism. Main, right, and left pulmonary
arterial caliber is normal. There is no evidence of right heart strain. The
thoracic aorta is normal in caliber without evidence of dissection or
intramural hematoma. The heart, pericardium, and great vessels are within
normal limits. No pericardial effusion is seen.
AXILLA, HILA, AND MEDIASTINUM: No axillary, mediastinal, or hilar
lymphadenopathy is present. No mediastinal mass.
PLEURAL SPACES: No pleural effusion or pneumothorax.
LUNGS/AIRWAYS: Lungs are clear without masses or areas of parenchymal
opacification. The airways are patent to the level of the segmental bronchi
bilaterally.
BASE OF NECK: Visualized portions of the base of the neck show no abnormality.
ABDOMEN: Included portion of the upper abdomen is again notable for centrally
fatty lesion in the left upper quadrant.
BONES: No suspicious osseous abnormality is seen.? There is no acute fracture.
IMPRESSION:
1. No interval pulmonary embolism. Previously seen pulmonary emboli are less
distinct on the present study.
2. No other acute process is detected.
Radiology Report
EXAMINATION: MRI AND MRA BRAIN PT12 MR HEAD
INDICATION: ___ male with ankylosing spondylitis experiencing chest
pressure and dizziness with pulsatile sensation. Evaluate for intracranial
mass for lesion.
TECHNIQUE: 3 dimensional time-of-flight MRA was performed through the brain.
Sagittal and axial T1 weighted imaging were performed along with diffusion
imaging.
Multiplanar, sagittal T1, axial T1, axial GRE, axial FLAIR, axial T2 imaging
of the brain was performed. After the uneventful intravenous administration
of 9 cc Gadavist, gadolinium base contrast, axial T1 and sagittal MPRAGE
imaging was obtained. Multiplanar reformatted images of the MPRAGE images
were then produced.
Three dimensional maximum intensity projection and segmented images were
generated. This report is based on interpretation of all of these images.
COMPARISON: ___ noncontrast head CT.
FINDINGS:
Study is mildly degraded by motion.
MRI BRAIN:
There is motion artifact on the postcontrast MPRAGE sequence which degrades
spatial resolution. There is with linear enhancement at the right cerebellar
hemisphere and mild gradient hypointensity, without signal abnormality on T2
or FLAIR imaging, likely representing a capillary telangiectasia versus
atypical developmental venous anomaly. Otherwise the parenchymal signal is
unremarkable without acute infarct, hemorrhage, mass, or mass effect. The
ventricles and cortical sulci are normal caliber configuration. The vascular
flow voids are preserved. The cortical veins and dural venous sinuses enhance
normally. There is suggestion of small right cerebellar developmental venous
anomaly (see 1300:40-41).
The orbits, calvarium, and soft tissues are unremarkable. There is a small
right mastoid air cell effusion. There is no fluid signal within the
paranasal sinuses.
MRA BRAIN:
The bilateral intracranial internal carotid arteries are patent. The anterior
bilateral posterior communicating arteries are visualized. There are
codominant vertebral arteries. The anterior and posterior arterial
circulations are patent without occlusion, dissection, significant stenosis,
or aneurysm. There is no evidence of vascular malformation.
IMPRESSION:
1. No acute intracranial abnormality without infarct, hemorrhage, or mass.
2. Small right mastoid air cell effusion.
3. Patent intracranial vasculature without occlusion, dissection, significant
stenosis, or aneurysm. No evidence of vascular malformation.

level of acuity: 2.0 | Dear Mr. ___,
Thank you for choosing to receive your care at ___. You were
admitted with dizziness and chest pressure. You were evaluated
by neurology and underwent an MRI scan of your head, which did
not reveal any concerning cause of your dizziness. You were also
evaluated extensively with nuclear and treadmill stress testing
of your heart, which did not reveal any heart disease. You also
had a rapid heart rate, with no concerning cause such as repeat
clots in your lungs or heart disease. We think that your
dizziness, fast heart rate, and chest pressure is likely related
to anxiety and possibly panic attacks. You were seen by
psychiatry, and started on two medications to help treat your
anxiety and panic attacks.
You were noted to have fluctuating INRs during this admission.
You were continued on your Coumadin while in hospital, and are
being discharged with lovenox injections to keep your blood
thinned while your Coumadin reaches a therapeutic level again.
We wish you the best with your ongoing recovery.
Sincerely,
your ___ care team |
