Patient weight: 143 lbs. IV contrast: ProHance, 13 ml, per protocol. Findings: Right frontal lobe resection now with fluid-filled surgical cavity and adjacent gliosis. Interval resolution of previous postprocedural pneumocephalus. Suggestion of Increased T2/FLAIR hyperintensities along the posterior superior frontal gyrus possibly due to overall decreased size of surgical cavity. Increased ex vacuo dilatation of the right frontal horn. Mild nodular enhancement along the edge of the resection bed is significantly increased from prior (for example axial series 1203, image 52). Mild persistent pachymeningeal adjacent to the craniotomy site. No significant mass effect. Persistent FLAIR subarachnoid hyperintensity along the superior frontal cranial vault, which could be sequela of compensatory increase in adjacent extra-axial spaces. No acute infarct or intracranial hemorrhage. Normal vascular flow voids. Prominent cisterna magna unchanged. Conclusion: Evolving postsurgical changes associated with right frontal lobe surgical cavity there is mildly increased conspicuity of adjacent abnormal T2 hyperintense signal which may represent posttreatment changes. There is no mass effect. Mild enhancement now outlining the the edges of the surgical cavity probably postsurgical. Recommend continued follow-up. 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.

PSA 2.3. 1/16/20 ? PSA 1.6. 2/8/21 ? PSA 1.5 8/26/21 ? PSA 1.4 TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar T1-, T2-, and diffusion-weighted imaging of the pelvis were performed on a 3 Tesla scanner. Axial T1-weighted images were obtained before, during, and after administration of intravenous contrast. Patient weight: 250 lbs. IV contrast: ProHance, 20 ml, per protocol. IV contrast injection rate: 2 ml per sec. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: STRUCTURED REPORT: MRI Prostate Right hip and femoral hardware degrades evaluation of the prostate, particularly of the diffusion-weighted sequences. PROSTATE: Measurement: 4.0 x 3.3 x 4.1 cm; estimated volume: 28 cc Focal lesion(s): None, although exam is mildly limited by metallic hardware artifact. Diffuse prostate abnormalities: There is diffuse hypointense T2 signal throughout the central gland and peripheral zone, suggestive of prior treatment related effects. Other prostate findings: None. VESSELS: No significant abnormality. LYMPH NODES: There are multiple enlarged mesorectal/mesocolic lymph nodes (see Key images). Reference node measuring 8 mm in short axis noted on axial series 9 one, image 92. PERIRECTAL / PERIANAL REGION: Normal. BLADDER: The bladder has a slightly atypical configuration with the fundus extending far superiorly beyond the field-of-view. There is a large amount of air within the bladder. OTHER PELVIC FINDINGS: None. BODY WALL: No significant abnormality. MUSCULOSKELETAL: Right hip and femoral hardware. Note: For more details about the Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) version 2.1, please visit: http://www.acr.org/Quality-Safety/Resources/PIRADS CONCLUSION: 1. No focal prostate lesion identified. Diffuse T2 hypointense signal throughout the prostate, would suggest possible treatment related effects, such as from prior radiation. Please correlate with history. 2. Multiple enlarged mesocolic/mesorectal lymph nodes as described above. This finding is indeterminate, however, recommend correlation with clinical and prior colonoscopic history. 3. Somewhat atypical configuration of the bladder with large volume of intraluminal air. The superior extent of the bladder is not included within the field-of-view. Consider further evaluation with CT of the abdomen and pelvis to better delineate the anatomy and etiology for intraluminal air in the absence of recent instrumentation. 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.

RADIOLOGIC EXAM: MR Brain wo+w contrast CLINICAL INFORMATION: Pituitary, monitor. Per chart review, history of incidental, nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma presenting for surveillance imaging. COMPARISON: MRI brain/orbits dated 5/12/2021. TECHNIQUE: MR Brain wo+w contrast Patient weight: 105 lbs. IV contrast: ProHance, 10 ml, per protocol. IV contrast injection rate: 2 ml per sec. Multiplanar, multisequence MR images of the brain were obtained in the coronal planes pre- and post administration of intravenous contrast per departmental protocol. FINDINGS: INTRACRANIAL FINDINGS: No significant interval change in size or appearance of heterogeneously enhancing sellar mass, now measuring 1.4 x 1.4 x 1.1 cm in AP by TV by CC (series 801, image 8; series 701, image 10), previously 1.3 x 1.4 x 1.0 cm (series 6, image 6; series 7, image 3). No significant cavernous sinus invasion. The visualized proximal cerebrovascular flow voids are patent. Minimal mass effect on the infundibulum, which is slightly left of midline. Minimal extension into the suprasellar cistern without encroachment upon the optic chiasm. The chiasm appears atrophic. Age-appropriate, mild frontoparietal cerebral volume loss with proportionate ex vacuo ventricular dilatation. Multifocal periventricular and deep white matter T2/FLAIR hyperintensities bilaterally, similar to prior, likely chronic microangiopathic changes. No additional pathologic enhancement. EXTRACRANIAL FINDINGS: The visualized extracranial osseous and soft tissue structures demonstrate normal signal characteristics. The imaged paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are clear. CONCLUSION: 1. Stable enhancing sellar mass compatible with pituitary macroadenoma. No significant cavernous sinus invasion. 2. No obvious compression over the chiasm however the chiasm itself appears atrophic. The pituitary lesion can be incidental finding. Clinical correlation for optic nerve pathology including optic nerve ischemia or optic neuritis is recommended.

Last night I had the chance to review the images with Dr. Singhal. We reviewed the brain MRI dated 1/25/2022 and compared it with multiple prior MRIs. On MRI dated 1/25/2022 there is a small suspicious nodular-like FLAIR hyper signal intensity in posterior portion of the resection cavity and also the FLAIR hyper signal intensity in the anterolateral portion of the resection cavity appears more prominent with faint nodularity. I put arrow and amrker over these regions (MRI dated 1/25/2022 series #5 image 35). However this MRI was performed under GE scanner 1.5 Tesla and with 3 mm slice thickness. Several older brain MRIs have been done by three Tesla scanner and with 5 mm slice thickness. We supposed that the mentioned prominent suspicious nodularity can be secondary to different technique and scanner. So we suggested to repeat FLAIR sequence by the three Tesla scanner and with 5 mm slice thickness to improve comparison with older images. Single FLAIR sequence was performed dated 1/27/2022 with 3 T scanner and 5 mm slice thickness. The previously mentioned suspicious nodularity in the posterior portion of the resection cavity and the prominent suspicious nodularity in the anterolateral portion of resection cavity is not visualized anymore and the resection cavity with associated peripheral FLAIR hyper signal intensity appears unchanged in comparison to prior MRI dated 8/23/2021. A focus of FLAIR hyper signal intensity in anterior aspect of resection cavity measuring 30 x 15 mm on transverse diameter appears unchanged in favor of treated neoplasm status post radiation. Other areas of the peripheral FLAIR hyper signal intensity around the resection cavity are unchanged. Also periventricular and deep white matter FLAIR hyper signal intensity adjacent to the right atrium are also unchanged. In conclusion, in comparison to prior dated 8/23/2021 no definite evidence of interval disease progression is noted. The focus of FLAIR hyper signal intensity in anterior aspect of resection cavity (series 201 image 19) is felt to be unchanged since the most recent MRI and it is smaller in comparison to the MRI before radiation (8/5/2019) and MRI shortly after completion of the radiation (dated 11/18/2019). This focus is most consistent with treated residual/recurrent neoplasm. Definite differentiation between the postradiation changes and viable neoplasm at this location is not possible on anatomic MRI and interval change over the time would be the best way to detect any interval progression. Findings were discussed with the patient.

A focus of FLAIR hyper signal intensity in anterior aspect of resection cavity measuring 30 x 15 mm on transverse diameter appears unchanged in favor of treated neoplasm status post radiation. Other areas of the peripheral FLAIR hyper signal intensity around the resection cavity are unchanged. Also periventricular and deep white matter FLAIR hyper signal intensity adjacent to the right atrium are also unchanged.
FINDINGS: There are new destructive changes involving the anterior opposing endplates at the T8-T9 level, compared to CT chest from 11/13/2021. There is associated anterior prevertebral phlegmon (measuring up to 2.9 cm on the right and 9 mm on the left). The phlegmon abuts the posterior aspect of the descending thoracic aorta. No appreciable drainable collection is is noted at this time. There is no involvement of the spinal canal. There is no high-grade bony canal stenosis in either thoracic or lumbar spine. There are mild bilateral neuroforaminal narrowing at T8-T9, and T10 and T12 due to combination of disc and facet degenerative changes. Also moderate right and mild left neuroforaminal narrowing at present due to combination of disc and facet degenerative changes. There are small bilateral pleural effusions and overlying atelectasis. Please refer to the CT, chest, abdomen and pelvis report for the detailed assessment of the soft tissue organs.

EXAM: MR Brain wo+w contrast CLINICAL INFORMATION: History of right frontal brain malignancy status post resection. Of note, the patient is now one month status post radiation therapy. COMPARISON: Multiple priors most recently dated 10/9/2021. TECHNIQUE: MR Brain wo+w contrast. Patient weight: 163 lbs. IV contrast: ProHance, 8 ml, per protocol. FINDINGS: Postsurgical changes of prior right frontal lobe mass resection with interval decrease in the amount of associated restricted diffusion within the resection bed. Interval decrease of FLAIR signal intensity in medial portion of the resection cavity. There is persistent focus of FLAIR signal intensity in posterior portion of the resection cavity is slightly more prominent since prior MRI. Overlying dural thickening is redemonstrated and likely related to postsurgical status. Enhancement within the resection cavity itself appears linear in favor of postsurgical changes. Minimal periventricular white matter FLAIR hyperintensities are most consistent with chronic microangiopathic ischemic changes. The ventricles are within normal size limits and there is no midline shift. Expected T2 vascular flow voids are unremarkable aside from redemonstration of an AV malformation along the vein of Galen. Postsurgical changes of right cerebral convexity craniotomy. The middle ears, mastoid air cells, and paranasal sinuses are clear. The orbits and globes are normal.No abnormal lymphadenopathy or significant soft tissue abnormality. CONCLUSION: Postsurgical changes of right frontal lobe with mass resection with overall interval decrease in the amount of associated diffusion restriction around the resection cavity. Smooth pachymeningeal thickening and enhancement subjacent to surgery is most consistent with postsurgical changes. Enhancement within the resection cavity is likely postsurgical and post radiation changes. There is interval size decrease of the FLAIR hyper signal intensity in medial portion of the resection cavity in favor of interval improvement of postsurgical changes. There is a focus of FLAIR hyper signal intensity in posterior portion of the resection cavity which is slightly more prominent since prior study (series 8 image 26). This focus remains indeterminate on today's MRI and can be secondary to recent radiation however it should be further evaluated by follow-up MRI preferably with MR perfusion sequence. Please note that this MRI was performed about one month after completion of the radiation and should be used as baseline MRI. Interval resolution of the postsurgical mass effect, effacement of the right lateral ventricle and right-to-left midline shift. Persistent AV malformation along the vein of Galen. 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.

RADIOLOGIC EXAM: MR Brain wo+w contrast CLINICAL INFORMATION: Parenchymal hemorrhage, follow-up, Spec Inst: Left temporal ICH in Sept 2021. COMPARISON: MRI brain dated 10/27/2021, 9/6/2021. CT head dated 9/20/2021. TECHNIQUE: MR Brain wo+w contrast Patient weight: 114 lbs. IV contrast: ProHance, 10 ml, per protocol. Multiple T1 and T2-weighted MR sequence images of the brain were obtained in the sagittal axial and coronal planes pre- and post administration of intravenous contrast per departmental protocol. FINDINGS: INTRACRANIAL FINDINGS: Small area of susceptibility artifact in the left temporal lobe representing residual blood products from prior intraparenchymal hemorrhage, overall unchanged. Interval decrease in subjacent T2/FLAIR hyperintensity. There is an 8 mm dural enhancement in the left orbital region which is associated with DWI hyper signal intensity. Otherwise no acute intraparenchymal infarct, edema, hydrocephalus, space-occupying lesion, or mass effect. New punctate focus of susceptibility artifact in the inferior right cerebellum, likely chronic microhemorrhage. Additional chronic microhemorrhages in the right hemipons and bilateral cerebellar hemispheres, unchanged. Age-appropriate mild frontoparietal cerebral volume loss. Multifocal periventricular and subcortical/deep cerebral white matter T2/FLAIR hyperintensities bilaterally, similar to prior, likely chronic microangiopathic changes. The ventricular system is normal in caliber and configuration. The basal cisterns are clear. The visualized proximal cerebrovascular flow voids appear normal. EXTRACRANIAL FINDINGS: The visualized extracranial osseous and soft tissue structures demonstrate normal signal characteristics. Mild bilateral maxillary sinus floor and anterior ethmoid sinus mucosal thickening. The paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are otherwise clear. Bilateral ocular lens replacements. CONCLUSION: 1. Residual blood products at the site of prior left temporal parenchymal hemorrhage with improved surrounding edema. No pathologic parenchymal enhancement at this location. 2. Scattered foci of microhemorrhages in the pons and posterior fossa likely sequela of hypertension. 3. An 8 mm tiny dural based enhancement in the left parietal region is likely a tiny meningioma. It appears more prominent since prior MRI. Attention to this location on subsequent study is recommended. 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: MR Pelvis wo+w contrast CLINICAL INFORMATION: Hematometrocolpos COMPARISON: None. TECHNIQUE: MR Pelvis wo+w contrast Patient weight: 145 lbs. IV contrast: ProHance, 6 ml, per protocol. FINDINGS: STRUCTURED REPORT: MRI Pelvis LOWER ABDOMEN: BOWEL: No abnormality. PERITONEUM: Normal. OTHER: No other abnormality. PELVIS: VESSELS: No significant abnormality. LYMPH NODES: None enlarged. PERIRECTAL / PERIANAL REGION: Normal. URINARY BLADDER: Normal. REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS: The uterus is anteflexed and anteverted. The endometrial cavity is distended with T1/T2 hyperintense fluid and measures approximately 10 mm in maximal thickness (series 201, image 17). Hyperintense fluid enters the cervical os and distends the superior portion of the vagina creating a posterior bulge and measuring approximately 2.5 x 1.9 cm (series 1001, image 44). The contour of the uterine fundus and endometrial cavity is otherwise normal without evidence of Mullerian anomaly. The caudal two thirds of the vagina are not distended with blood products or fluid and do not maintain expected volume or contour (for example axial image 19, series 301 and axial image 17, series 301). The vagina is not confidently identified inferior to the peritoneal reflection. There is T1 hyperintense material within both fallopian tubes, possibly resulting from obstruction and reflux of blood products into the fallopian tubes from the endometrial cavity. Bilateral ovaries are normal. Trace free fluid in the pelvis. BODY WALL: No significant abnormality. MUSCULOSKELETAL: No significant abnormality. CONCLUSION: Findings most consistent with caudal vaginal atresia with hematometrocolpos and reflux of blood products in the bilateral fallopian tubes. A transverse vaginal septum is a differential consideration; however, this is not favored, as one is not definitely seen and the caudal vagina appears atretic. Correlation with physical exam findings is recommended. 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.

MRI brain without contrast Indication: Brain metastases. Technique: Multiplanar multisequence imaging of the brain were obtained without contrast Comparison: Brain MRI dated 12/13/2021 Findings: Motion degraded exam. Only noncontrast images were obtained secondary to patient pain. Age-appropriate diffuse cerebral atrophy. There are a few scattered foci of FLAIR signal abnormality, which may be related to intracranial metastases versus microangiopathic change. These are incompletely evaluated in the absence of contrast. There is no abnormal diffusion restriction. There is no hydrocephalus, mass effect or midline shift. Major intracranial flow voids are preserved. Orbits are normal. Paranasal sinuses are clear. Conclusion: Limited exam secondary to patient motion and lack of IV contrast. Recommend repeat exam with IV contrast to adequately evaluate intracranial metastatic disease. 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.

MR Brain wo contrast 1/28/2022 5:45 AM Clinical Information: Further evaluation of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy Comparison: Brain MRI dated 1/19/2022 Technique: Diffusion weighted series, sagittal T1, axial SWI, axial FLAIR, and axial T2 FS sequences were acquired of the brain without the use of intravenous contrast. Findings: There is mild increase in the intensity of the aforementioned widespread diffusion restriction involving both cerebral hemispheres and cerebellum. There is accompanying FLAIR hyperintensity within the cortical layers. Again noted mild diffusion restriction involving the basal ganglia and thalami, not significantly changed since prior study. Scattered tiny foci of diffusion restriction in the bilateral centrum semiovale, seems to be stable since prior study. A focus of magnetic susceptibility seen is in right cerebellar hemisphere and left superior frontal gyrus, unchanged since prior study. Prominent perivascular spaces around the bilateral basal ganglia is noted. No intracranial mass, mass effect, edema, hemorrhage, hydrocephalus, is noted Mucosal thickening and secretions are noted in bilateral maxillary ethmoidal and sphenoid sinuses. No acute osseous or soft tissue abnormality. Fluid is seen in bilateral mastoid air cells. Impression: Interval increase in global diffusion restriction involving bilateral both hemispheres and cerebellum, again in keeping with sequela of severe hypoxic ischemic injury. 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.

Right hand MRI: Indication: Persistent swelling of third MCP joint, concern for osteomyelitis Technique: Multiplanar multisequence images were obtained through the hand both pre and post intravenous contrast administration. Technique: Patient weight: 165 lbs. IV contrast: ProHance, 15 ml, per protocol. IV contrast injection rate: 1 ml per sec. Comparison: Hand CT scan dated 10/17/2021. Hand radiographs dated 10/15/2021. Findings: There is ill-defined nodular soft tissue swelling encasing a 1.7 cm long segment of the long finger extensor tendon just proximal to the metacarpal head. There is intermediate signal within the tendon, but the tendon is grossly intact. There is inflammatory-appearing stranding around the tendon with mild postcontrast enhancement. The degree of swelling appears unchanged from CT scan of 10/17/2021. There is no joint effusion in the MCP joint. There is no bone destruction or abnormal bone marrow enhancement. Impression: Chronic focal inflammatory process involving the long finger extensor tendon just proximal to the MCP joint. Etiology is uncertain. Consider chronic infection and crystal deposition disease. There is no evidence of osteomyelitis or septic arthritis.
