CT Coronary Calcium Scoring CT CORONARY ARTERY CALCIFICATION SCORING CLINICAL INFORMATION: 56-year-old male, presenting for screening CT scan for coronary artery calcification scoring. PALPITATIONS, R00.2 Palpitations COMPARISON: Chest radiograph 12/14/2021 TECHNIQUE: Noncontrast helical examination of the heart was performed for calcium score evaluation. TeraRecon calcium score software was used for calculation. Scan field of view: 250 mm. DLP: 53 mGy cm. FINDINGS: Using a modified Agatston scoring method, the coronary artery calcification score is 95 (LM = 0, LCx = 0, LAD = 2, RCA = 93), which corresponds to the 76th percentile for the patient's age, gender and ethnicity, using the online available MESA calcium score calculator . Cardiac chambers are normal in size. No pericardial effusion. The the visualized mediastinal great arteries are normal in caliber. There is a small sliding hiatal hernia with associated visualized mildly patulous mid and lower esophagus. No visualized pathologically enlarged intrathoracic lymph nodes. The visualized central airways are patent. Partial expiratory exam with multiple groundglass opacities, likely represent atelectasis. Small right middle lobe and left lower lobe cysts, possibly pneumatoceles. No pleural effusions could be identified. There is partially visualized right hepatic lobe hypoattenuating lesion (series 301, image 58). The limited visualization of the upper abdomen and chest wall soft tissues and skeletal structures are otherwise unremarkable, apart from mild degenerative bony changes. CONCLUSION: 1. The coronary artery calcification score is 95, consistent with a moderate risk of cardiovascular disease. 2. There is a small sliding hiatal hernia with associated visualized mildly patulous mid and lower esophagus which could be seen with gastroesophageal reflux disease or esophageal dysmotility, for clinical correlation and further evaluation if clinically warranted. 3. Partially visualized right hepatic lobe hypoattenuating lesion is incompletely evaluated on this noncontrast partially upper abdominal exam. Recommend further evaluation with a dedicated abdominal ultrasound/CT. SCORING CATEGORIES ARE AS FOLLOWS: A score of 0 indicates: No identifiable atherosclerotic plaque and very low cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. A score of 1-10 indicates: Minimal plaque burden and low CVD risk. A score of 11-100 indicates: Mild plaque burden and moderate CVD risk. A score of 101-400 indicates: Moderate plaque burden and high CVD risk. A score of over 400 indicates: Extensive plaque burden and very high CVD risk. As the attending physician, I have personally reviewed the images, interpreted and/or supervised the study or procedure, and agree with the wording of the above report.

EXAM: CT Chest wo contrast CLINICAL INFORMATION: 71-year-old female follow-up lymphoma COMPARISON: December 16, 2021 TECHNIQUE: CT Chest wo contrast. Scan field of view: 350 mm. DLP: 424 mGy cm. FINDINGS: The large confluent nodal mass in the left anterior mediastinum in image 25, series 3 measures approximately 34 x 33 mm, it was 49 x 45 mm before in image 35, series 601. Other more well-defined nodes in the mediastinum also have decreased in size including bilateral cardiophrenic angle confluent adenopathy. The right pleural effusion has completely resolved while the left effusion has significantly decreased in size without pneumothorax. Several tiny nodular clusters are present in the dependent both upper lobes right lower lobe, middle lobe and lingula. There is no focal lytic or sclerotic bone lesion. Heavily calcified bilateral prepectoral breast implants appear intact. CONCLUSION: 1. Interval improvement in intrathoracic lymphomatous mediastinal adenopathy. 2. Right pleural effusion has completely resolved while left has significantly decreased. 3. Several tiny nodular clusters in both lungs are nonspecific and could be due to bronchiolitis versus lymphomatous involvement of the lung parenchyma.

FINDINGS: SINOCRANIAL AND SINOORBITAL JUNCTIONS: The bones adjacent to the sinuses, including the lamina papyracea, cribriform plates and fovea ethmoidalis, are intact. There is Keros anatomy type II bilaterally. NASAL SEPTUM/NASAL CAVITY: There is moderate right-sided deviation involving the anterior portion of the nasal septum. FRONTAL SINUSES, DRAINAGE PATHWAYS, AND ASSOCIATED ANATOMIC VARIANTS: Mucosal thickening in the frontal sinuses is suggestive for sinusitis. Frontal recesses are occluded. ETHMOID SINUSES: Near complete opacification of the ethmoidal air cells is suggestive for sinusitis. SPHENOID SINUSES, DRAINAGE PATHWAYS, AND ASSOCIATED VARIANTS: Mucosal thickening of the sphenoidal air cells is suggestive for sinusitis. The intersinus septum inserts at left carotid canal. Dehiscence of bilateral carotid canals is seen. There is a persistent focus of hyperdensity within the left the sphenoidal sinus in favor of antrolith versus sequela of allergic fungal infection. Mild hyperdensity within the right sphenoidal air cell may represent inspissated secretion however superimposed allergic fungal infection cannot be excluded. MAXILLARY SINUSES, DRAINAGE PATHWAYS, AND ASSOCIATED VARIANTS: Mucosal thickening in the maxillary sinuses is suggestive for sinusitis. The OMCs are occluded. MASTOID AIR CELLS: The mastoid air cells are well developed and aerated. OTHER: Limited evaluation of the brain parenchyma is unremarkable.

CT perfusion Indication: Stroke. Comparison: Technique: A CT perfusion study was acquired during single pass of 40 cc contrast bolus. Axial images were generated through the cerebrum only at 16 axial locations and time-attenuation curves generated from this dataset were utilized to calculate cerebral blood flow, mean transit time, Tmax, and cerebral blood volume. Regions of >70% CBF reduction are labeled as red. Regions of Tmax prolongation greater than 6 sec are labeled green. Please note that infarcted regions with very low attenuation may not be labeled red despite decreased CBF to avoid color- labeling remote infarcts. Normalized CBF on delayed perfusion scans does not exclude completed infarction. IV contrast: Omnipaque 350, 40 ml, per protocol. DLP: 1965 mGy cm. Findings: The perfusion scan is essentially negative with no increased CBV or CBF. There is 7 mm of Tmax greater than 4 seconds, likely artifactual. --------------- Conclusion: Normal CT perfusion scan of the brain.
Findings: The perfusion scan is essentially negative with no increased CBV or CBF. There is 7 mm of Tmax greater than 4 seconds, likely artifactual. ---------------
FINDINGS: CT imaging was performed without IV contrast, which can reduce diagnostic accuracy. Tip of the left-sided port catheter is in the mid SVC. Tip of the right IJ line is at the SVC atrial junction. The hila are difficult to evaluate without contrast. No enlarged intrathoracic lymph nodes are identified. Minimal calcific atherosclerosis is seen in the aorta and coronary arteries. The main pulmonary artery is again noted to be dilated at 34 mm. There is some increased pericardial thickening particularly in the anterior pericardium. Within the limits of a noncontrast exam, the heart size and the mediastinum are otherwise normal. No pleural effusion. The previously seen RML nodule was measured is not identified on the current exam. A groundglass nodule is seen in the inferior RUL on series 4 image 58 but appears to be secretions in the bronchus. A tiny RUL subpleural nodule on image 32 is unchanged. No additional nodules or masses are identified. Bilateral bronchial wall thickening is present increased over the prior exams particularly in the left lower lobe. Small amount secretions is seen layering in the trachea. Enlarged spleen with the small area of peripheral linear calcification is redemonstrated. Limited noncontrast images of the upper abdomen are otherwise unremarkable. Anterior wedging at T5 is unchanged from the previous exam. No acute or destructive osseous lesion is identified.

Findings: CT head: BRAIN PARENCHYMA: No acute intracranial hemorrhage, mass, large territory infarct, or edema. Gray-white matter differentiation maintained. Subcortical and periventricular low-attenuation lesions likely represent advanced microangiopathic changes. Diffuse cortical atrophy with associated ex vacuo dilatation of the ventricles. Atherosclerotic calcifications of the bilateral carotid artery siphons. EXTRA-AXIAL SPACES: Prominent, likely related to diffuse cortical volume loss. SKULL AND SKULL BASE: No acute fracture. No aggressive osseous lesion. VENTRICULAR SYSTEM: Ex vacuo ventriculomegaly ORBITS: Bilateral lens replacements. SINUSES: Mild mucosal thickening of the left sphenoid sinus. There are postoperative changes of the right mastoid air cells. The remainder of the visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are clear.
