Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Out of Bed with assistance to chair or wheelchair. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report CT OF THE CERVICAL SPINE HISTORY: Trauma with subdural hematoma. COMPARISONS: Prior head CT from earlier on the same day from outside hospital as scanned into the ___ pacs system. TECHNIQUE: Multidetector CT images of the cervical spine were obtained without intravenous contrast. Sagittal and coronal reformations were also performed. FINDINGS: From C3-C4 through C7-T1, there are moderate facet joint degenerative changes. These are milder on the right side, noting mild leftward convex curvature centered along the lower cervical spine, although moderate facet joint degenerative changes are noted from C5-C6 through C7-T1 on the right side as well. This appearance may explain why there is mild spondylolisthesis of C5 on C6 and C7 on T1. There is moderate narrowing of the C6-C7 interspaces with subchondral sclerosis and small marginal osteophytes. There are also small anterior osteophytes at the C5-C6 level anteriorly. The C1-C2 articulation is moderately narrowed as well. Although facet hypertrophy is prominent along the lower levels as described above, there is no evidence for substantial bony neural foraminal narrowing. There is no evidence for fracture, dislocation, or prevertebral soft tissue swelling. There is a large partly visualized left-sided subdural hematoma, which is difficult to compare directly to the prior imaging for any potential small changes owing to differences in technique including orientation, uncal herniation with substantial rightward shift of the brainstem by 6 mm can be visualized. The partly visualized right lateral ventricle is also dilated up to 20 mm suggesting a trapped ventricle owing to midline shift. Interlobular septal thickening at the lung apices and ground glass suggests mild fluid overload. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence for fracture or dislocation. Slight subluxations can probably be explained by substantial facet joint degenerative changes. 2. Rightward shift of the mid brain associated with uncal herniation and mass effect from a large left-sided subdural hematoma, difficult to precisely compare for change compared to the prior CT. This was discussed at 9:10 p.m. with Dr. ___ immediately after discovery time by telephone. Radiology Report INDICATION: Evaluation of patient status post left subdural hematoma evacuation. COMPARISON: Outside hospital head CT from ___. FINDINGS: Post-surgical changes are noted along the left frontotemporoparietal region with pneumocephalus, small amount of hyperdense material suggestive of blood, and hyperdense fluid, and catheter which terminates at the level of the inferior left temporal lobe. There is continued mass effect on the adjacent left frontotemporal parietal region with effacement of the sulci. Additionally, there is a rightward shift of normally midline structures by 8 mm, decreased in comparison to prior study from yesterday when it measured 10 mm. The right lateral ventricle appears dilated. No other new foci of hemorrhage are identified. The patient is status post left frontal and parietal craniotomy. The visualized mastoid air cells and paranasal sinuses are clear. IMPRESSION: Post-surgical changes involving the left frontal, temporal, and parietal regions with small amount of hemorrhage, pneumocephalus, catheter in place, and effacement of the adjacent sulci. There is a decreased rightward shift of normally midline structures to 8 mm compared to 10 mm previously. Continued followup is recommended. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ female with a history of subdural hemorrhage, status post craniotomy, now in need of followup. STUDY: CT of the head without contrast. COMPARISON: ___ at 3:56 a.m. and outside hospital head CT from ___. FINDINGS: Again are seen post-craniotomy changes. On the left, the skin staple line and a drain in place in the subdural space. Collection demonstrated on outside hospital CT. There is still persist locules of gas and scattered areas of blood products which appear similar in extent to the prior exam. There is 6 mm of left-to-right shift of midline structures which is slightly decreased from prior exam. There continues to be sulcal and left lateral ventricle effacement on the left. There is no evidence of ventricular entrapment. The basilar cisterns are patent. The visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are clear. IMPRESSION: Postsurgical changes along the left convexity with small amounts of blood products and pneumocephalus, similar in extent to prior study; followup imaging as clinically indicated. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ female status post craniotomy for evacuation of subdural hemorrhage. Evaluate for interval change. COMPARISON: NECTs on ___ and ___. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT images were obtained through the brain without administration of IV contrast. FINDINGS: Again are seen post-craniotomy changes in the left frontoparietal bones, with skin staples and a drain placed in the subdural space of the left frontoparietal convexity. There is persistence of locules of gas and scattered areas of blood products which appear similar in extent to the prior exam. There is a 6.3 mm left to right shift in the midline structures which is not significantly changed compared with prior exam. There continues to be sulcal and left lateral ventricle effacement in the left. There is no evidence of ventricular entrapment. The basal cisterns are patent. The visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are clear. IMPRESSION: Post-surgical changes along the left convexity with small amount of blood products and pneumocephalus, similar to prior study. Radiology Report STUDY: MRI of the head with and without contrast. CLINICAL INDICATION: ___ woman with dysphagia, status post craniotomy. COMPARISON: Prior head CT dated ___. TECHNIQUE: Pre-contrast axial and sagittal T1-weighted images were obtained, axial FLAIR, axial T2, axial magnetic susceptibility and axial diffusion-weighted sequences. The T1-weighted images were repeated after the administration of gadolinium contrast in axial T1, sagittal MP-RAGE and multiplanar reconstructions were provided. FINDINGS: The patient is status post left frontoparietal craniotomy and evacuation of subdural hematoma. There is a drain in place in the subdural space. Subdural collection remains similar in extension in comparison with the prior head CT dated ___. Small locules of gas are present.

Dear Mr. ___, It was a pleasure to care for you at the ___ ___. Please find detailed discharge instructions below: WHY WERE YOU ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL? - You were admitted because you appeared to have elevated potassium levels in your blood, and you had some premature heart beats, noted at your outpatient urology appointment. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU IN THE HOSPITAL? - Your blood potassium levels were rechecked and found to be within the normal range. The first potassium level at your outpatient appointment was falsely elevated because the blood had deteriorated in the collection tube. - You had occasional premature heart beats, as seen on the heart monitor, but you did not have any symptoms from it. Occasional premature heart beats are very common and not dangerous. - Your urine was examined in the lab and sent for a culture. Your urine looks like it may have an infection, but it is difficult to tell because of your complicated kidney history with the PCN tube (percutaneous nephrostomy tube) and ureter stent. You also did not seem to have obvious symptoms of a urine infection. However, because of your complicated medical history, we felt it was best to be safe and treat you with antibiotics for a possible urinary tract infection. - You received IV antibiotics while you were in the hospital for a urinary tract infection. - You were transitioned to oral antibiotics to take as an outpatient. - CT scan of your chest and abdomen showed that you had a prostate mass, with lesions in the bone that were concerning for metastatic cancer. WHAT SHOULD YOU DO WHEN YOU LEAVE THE HOSPITAL? - Please follow up with your urologist and oncologist outpatient to discuss further cancer testing and options. - Please follow up with your PCP. - Please take all your medications as prescribed. - In particular, please complete a total 7-day course of antibiotics. You last day of antibiotics will be on ___. We wish you the best! - Your ___ treatment team

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ woman with history of hypertension and hyperlipidemia, presents with intermittent severe abdominal pain, and colonic thickening seen on OSH NECT; rule out ischemic colitis. COMPARISON: ___ abdomen and pelvis, ___. TECHNIQUE: Axial helical MDCT images were obtained of the abdomen and pelvis after the administration of oral and IV contrast. Multiplanar reformatted images were generated in the sagittal and coronal planes. DLP: 418.80 mGy-cm. FINDINGS: There is minimal bibasilar dependent atelectasis. Otherwise, the visualized lung bases are clear with no nodules, pleural effusions, or pneumothorax. The visualized portions of the heart and pericardium are unremarkable in appearance. CT ABDOMEN: The liver enhances homogeneously without focal lesion or intrahepatic biliary duct dilatation. There is moderate periportal "lymphatic tracking" edema, probably not much changed since the previous study. The gallbladder is surgically absent with surgical clips in place. The spleen, pancreas, and adrenal glands are unremarkable in appearance. There is a left renal upper pole subcentimeter hypodensity, too small to fully characterize by CT, but likely representing a simple renal cyst. There is a 1.7 x 0.9 cm right renal interpolar simple-appearing cyst. Otherwise, both kidneys present symmetric nephrograms and excretion of contrast without focal solid lesion, pelvicaliceal dilatation, or perinephric abnormalities. The stomach is distended but unremarkable in appearance. The duodenum and small bowel are unremarkable in appearance with no focal wall thickening or obstruction. Again seen is moderate bowel wall thickening in the ___ vascular territory, starting proximally from the splenic flexure, and extending distally to the proximal sigmoid colon. There is a "targetoid" cross-sectional appearance of the thickened colon, indicative of circumferential submucosal edema. However, the degree of mural enhancement in this segment appears quite similar in comparison to the more normal-appearing remainder of the large bowel. There is no pneumatosis or mesenteric or portal venous gas. Overall, the appearance of the bowel is unchanged from previous study. Of note is interval development of larger amount of ascites, in particular, perihepatic. There is moderate calcification of the abdominal aorta and its branches. The celiac axis, SMA, and bilateral renal arteries appear patent at their origins. Specifically, the origin and proximal portion of the ___ are visualized and appear patent; however, its mid- and distal portions are not well-visualized, due to scanning technique and contrast bolus timing. There is no intraabdominal free air or hernia noted. There are no enlarged mesenteric or retroperitoneal lymph nodes by CT size criteria. CT PELVIS: The bladder is distended but unremarkable in appearance. The uterus and bilateral ovaries are unremarkable in appearance. There is a small amount of fluid in the cul-de-sac, unchanged from previous exam. The rectum is unremarkable in appearance. There are no enlarged inguinal or pelvic wall lymph nodes by CT size criteria. OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: Degenerative changes of thoracolumbar spine, with most severe disc space loss at L5/S1. There are no -blastic or -lytic lesions in the visualized osseous structures concerning for malignancy. IMPRESSION: 1. Large bowel wall-thickening and submucosal edema in the vascular distribution of the ___. While there is no apparent stenosis or thrombosis of the ___, proximally, a more distal arterial occlusion cannot be excluded; however, this overall appearance of bowel may also be seen with "low-flow" venous ischemia. Inflammatory and infectious processes also remain differential diagnostic considerations, that might be assessed by colonoscopy. 2. Periportal edema and small ascites, particularly perihepatic. This may relate to the process, #1, above and/or to volume overload with "third-spacing." 3. Bilateral simple-appearing renal cysts.

Dear Ms. ___, You were transferred to ___ for evaluation of your abdominal pain. A CT scan of your abdomen done at ___ ___ showed inflammation of your colon. The doctors at ___ were concerned that you may have had ischemic colitis, which is a condition in which the colon does not get enough blood supply and is damaged. This can occur because of very low blood pressure or because of a clot in the vessels that supply the colon. The doctors at ___ were concerned that you may have needed surgery, so you were sent to ___. The surgeons here did not believe that you needed surgery because you were feeling better. We got another CT scan of your abdomen, which showed that your colon had not suffered more damage; it was unchanged from your CT scan in ___. It also did not show any clots or blockages in the blood vessels that supply your colon. It is also possible that the inflammation in your colon is due to infection (infectious colitis), so we gave you antibiotics while you were in the hospital. We also tested your stool for bacteria. The results of your stool tests have not yet returned. We will contact you with these results when they are available. You no longer need to take antibiotics. When the inflammation in your colon has resolved, we recommend that you get a colonoscopy. Please discuss the timing of this procedure with your primary care doctor and with the surgeon at your follow-up appointment. While you were in the hospital, your blood pressure was lower than it normally is, so we stopped your blood pressure medication (lisinopril). You should not restart this medication until talking with your primary care doctor. You should also drink lots of fluids to help keep your blood pressure up. We made the following changes to your medications: 1. lisinopril - we stopped this medication. We have scheduled follow-up appointments for you with your primary care physician and with acute care surgery. If you cannot keep your appointments, please call to reschedule. It was a pleasure taking part in your care. We wish you a quick recovery and good health.

She was actually off of pain medication from ___ - ___, however the pain returned yesterday and has gotten progressively worse since. She was taking PO dilaudid w/o relief. Had nausea w/3 episodes nbnb vomiting. No fevers/chills. Feels fatigued from not eating/drinking, but no focal weakness. No UE numbness or tingling. Of note, she was admitted from ___ for her elective surgery, as she wished to have decompression to avoid further injury in the future. She also needed neurosurgery clearance for her police academy given her cervical syrinx found on prior imaging. Post-operatively, her pain had been controlled with oxycodone and IV dilaudid that was switched to po dilaudid. She also complained of numbness on the R side of her body. Her symptoms improved by the time of discharge and she was discharged on po dilaudid ___ mg q4hr:prn as well as bisacodyl. She was scheduled to f/u with Dr. ___ on ___. In the ED, initial vitals were: 99.6 78 128/83 18 100%. Labs significant for a Hct 34.9 (was 38 on ___. Was given IV zofran and dilaudid 1mg which improved pain temporarily. She later received po dilaudid 4 mg and tizanidine with litting improvement in her pain. On exam, she had neck pain and back pain radiating down the R leg. Neurosurgery was consulted, and after review of her C-spine imaging, did not feel that surgical intervention was necessary. She was therefore admitted to medicine for pain control. VS upon transfer: 98.0 71 101/69 18. On the floor, Ms. ___ was very frustrated that she had experienced no pain prior to surgery, essentially no pain immediately after surgery, and now is in severe pain. She had even requested to return to work early because she felt so well. She complained of nausea, photophobia, shock-like sensations down her neck, pain in her low back, "stabbing" pain in her R leg, subjective L arm weakness, and subjective L leg weakness. She also experienced significant itching from the dilaudid. After admission to the floor, she was given dilaudid IV 2mg q2 and ondansetron. Her pain was poorly controlled and she required an additional 2mg at 2:30. She also was nauseous after 8mg of ondansetron and required compazine and lorazepam. Her itching became severe and she required po and IV benadryl.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report HISTORY: History of lung cancer with hypoxia and tachycardia. COMPARISON: Chest radiograph from ___ and CTA chest from ___. FINDINGS: Single portable chest radiograph was provided. Again seen is a large right lower lobe opacity, representing known mass. Superinfection cannot be excluded. A small small-to-moderate right pleural effusion is seen and appears increased since the prior exam. Hyperlucency of the upper lung zones and hyperinflation is consistent with known emphysema. There is no pneumothorax. No left pleural effusion is identified. The cardiomediastinal silhouette is normal. A VP shunt catheter courses along the right hemithorax and is incompletely imaged. IMPRESSION: 1. Large opacity within the right lower lobe representing known mass. Superinfection cannot be excluded with subtle suggestio of associated air bronchograms. 2. Increasing right pleural effusion. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ with SOB, hypoxia, active cancer COMPARISON: CTA chest ___. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous helical MDCT images were obtained through the chest after administration of 100 cc of Omnipaque IV contrast. Multiplanar axial, coronal, sagittal and oblique maximum intensity projection images were generated. TOTAL BODY DLP: 314.67 mGy-cm. FINDINGS: CT CHEST WITH CONTRAST: There is no axillary, mediastinal, or hilar lymphadenopathy. The partially visualized thyroid is unremarkable. The airways are patent to the subsegmental level. The large mass in the right lower lobe is larger now, approximately 7.9 x 8 cm and contains areas of central hypodensity and locules of gas compatible with necrosis and increasing liquefaction, more prominent since the prior study. There are adjacent opacities, which may represent infection versus spread of malignancy. Additionally, there is atelectasis and a small right pleural effusion. There are several scattered calcified pleural plaques throughout the thorax. There is a severe background of centrilobular emphysema. Although this study is not designed for evaluation of intra-abdominal structures, the visualized solid organs and stomach are unremarkable. CTA OF THE CHEST: There are numerous lobar and segmental PEs bilaterally involving the bilateral upper lobes, right middle and lingular lobes, and left lower lobe. There is no evidence of parenchymal infarct. The heart shows evidence of subtle flattening of the intraventricular septum, which may represent early heart failure. There is no pericardial effusion. The aorta and main thoracic vessels are well opacified. The aorta demonstrates normal caliber throughout the thorax without intramural hematoma or dissection. OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: There are no concerning blastic or lytic lesions. IMPRESSION: 1. Numerous lobar and segmental PEs bilaterally as detailed above. Subtle flattening of the interventricular septum of the heart may suggest early heart failure. This can be further evaluated for on echocardiogram. There is no evidence of parenchymal infarct. 2. Growing mass in the right lower lobe with liquefaction and locules of gas. Opacities adjacent to the large mass may represent infection versus spread of malignancy. 3. Severe background of centrilobular emphysema. Radiology Report EXAM: Bilateral lower extremity Doppler ultrasound. CLINICAL INFORMATION: Metastatic lung cancer and new pulmonary embolism. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: Realtime grayscale, color and spectral sonographic evaluation of bilateral common femoral, superficial femoral, and popliteal veins was performed. On the right, thrombus is seen in the lesser saphenous vein with close proximity to the popliteal vein, approximately within 1 cm. Otherwise, there is normal compressibility and wall-to-wall color flow of the right common femoral, superficial femoral, and popliteal veins. There is normal compressibility and color flow seen in the right posterior tibial and peroneal veins. On the left, there is evidence of deep venous thrombosis involving the distal popliteal vein extending into at least one of the posterior tibial veins. The peroneal veins appear compressible. There is normal compressibility, wall-to-wall color flow in the left common femoral and superficial femoral veins. Some subcutaneous edema is seen in the left calf. IMPRESSION: 1. Deep venous thrombosis involving the distal left popliteal vein with extension into at least one of the left posterior tibial veins. 2. Thrombus in the lesser saphenous vein, which is a superficial vein, however, comes in close proximity to the popliteal vein, approximately within 1 cm. Radiology Report EXAM: Non-contrast-enhanced CT of the head. CLINICAL INFORMATION: Brain mets, need heparin for PE, question new mets. COMPARISON: Head CT from ___ and ___, and brain MRI from ___. TECHNIQUE: Non-contrast-enhanced CT images of the head were obtained. Reformatted coronal and sagittal images were also obtained. FINDINGS: A right frontal approach ventricular shunt catheter is again seen, terminating in the right lateral ventricle, near the midline. Prominence of the ventricles and sulci is stable. Multiple hyperdense metastatic lesions are seen, including involving the right midbrain, which grossly appears smaller compared to the prior study, today measuring 0.9 x 0.7 cm compared to the today's measurement of the prior study of 1.3 x 1.1 cm. However, full extent is better assessed on MRI. Right temporal lobe lesion, which was previously seen to be partially hyperdense, has now increased region of hyperdensity, with the region of hyperdensity measuring approximately 0.8 x 0.3 cm with possible internal calcification. While the increase in hyperdensity may relate to increase in cell content, hemorrhagic component is not excluded. Hemorrhage could be better evaluated for/or excluded on susceptibility sequences on MRI. Additional mets seen on prior MRI, including in the right post-central gyrus, in the inferior right parietal lobe, and in the right occipital lobe are better seen on MRI. Gray-white matter differentiation is preserved. The visualized paranasal sinuses and the mastoid air cells are clear. Right frontal burr hole is seen. No acute fracture is seen. IMPRESSION: Multiple metastatic lesions, as above, most of which are better assessed on MRI. Right temporal lobe lesion has increased region of hyperdensity on the current study, which may be due to increase in size of the lesion/increase in cell content, however, hemorrhagic component is not entirely excluded and could be excluded on MRI susceptibility sequence. Radiology Report HISTORY: Metastatic lung cancer with new bilateral pulmonary emboli and left lower lobe extremity DVT with guaic positive stools. COMPARISON: ___ PET CT from ___. TECHNIQUE: OPERATORS: Dr. ___ radiology fellow) and Dr. ___ radiology attending) performed the procedure. The attending, Dr. ___ was present and supervising throughout the procedure. ANESTHESIA: Moderate sedation was provided by administrating divided doses of 75 mcg of fentanyl and 0.5 mg of Versed throughout the total intra-service time of 23 minutes during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored. MEDICATIONS: None. CONTRAST: 50 ml of Optiray contrast FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 4.6 min, 63 mGy PROCEDURE: 1. Left common iliac vein and IVC venogram. 2. Infrarenal permanent Venentech IVC filter deployment. 3. Post filter placement venogram. PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the explanation of the risks, benefits and alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained. The patient was brought to the angiography suite and placed supine on the imaging table. Both groins were prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. A pre-procedure timeout was performed using three patient identifiers. Under ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance, the right common femoral vein was punctured using a 19 guage needle. A ___ wire was advanced through the needle into the inferior vena cava. Next, an Omniflush catheter was advanced over the wire into the IVC. The ___ wire was exchanged for an angled Glidewire, which was advanced into the left common iliac vein and the catheter tip was advanced into the left common iliac vein. A left common iliac and inferior vena cava venogram was performed. Based on the results of the venogram, detailed below, a decision was made to place a permanent Venatech filter. The catheter and sheath were removed over the wire and the sheath of an Venentech filter was advanced over the wire into the IVC past the take off of the renal vessels. An Venentech inferior vena cava filter was advanced over the wire until the cranial tip was at the level of the inferior margin of the right 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 sheath was removed and pressure was held for 10 minutes, at which point stasis was achieved. A sterile dressing was applied. The patient tolerated the procedure well and there was no immediate post procedure complications. FINDINGS: 1. Patent normal sized, non-duplicated IVC with single bilateral renal veins and no evidence of a clot. 2. Successful deployment of an infra-renal permanent Venatech IVC filter. IMPRESSION: Successful deployment of permanent Venatech IVC filter.

COMPARISON: Intraoperative lumbar spine radiographs from ___ and post-operative lumbar spine radiographs from ___. ___ lumbar spine MRI from ___. TECHNIQUE: Axial non-contrast multidetector CT images of the lumbar spine with sagittal and coronal reformatted images. FINDINGS: Caudal to the most inferior rib-bearing vertebra, four lumbar-type vertebrae are identified. The most caudal lumbar-type vertebra has been labeled L5 on prior imaging studies and in the ___ surgical note. The same numbering is continued in this report, with the lumbar vertebrae labeled L2 through L5. The numbering is documented on series 7B, image 18. At L5-S1, the interbody device is located to the right of midline, extending to the ventral margin of the right neural foramen. It appears appropriately centered in the anterior-posterior dimension. There is erosion of the right inferior endplate of L5 overlying the device, concerning for loosening as well as infection, given the history of fever. Alignment of L5 and S1 vertebral bodies is normal. There is evidence of partial right facetectomy at L5-S1. There is instrumented posterior fusion of L5 and S1 with paired pedicle screws, which appear well positioned, as well as two posterior plates. Evaluation for an epidural collection on CT is markedly limited. There is edema in the posterior paravertebral muscles and subcutaneous fat at the level of the surgery. Evaluation for an associated fluid collection is limited, but none is definitively identified. Cranial to L5, vertebral body heights and disc space heights are preserved. Alignment is normal. There is a mild disc bulge at L4-5, similar to the prior MRI, without significant spinal canal or neural foraminal narrowing. The imaged intra-abdominal soft tissues are grossly unremarkable on limited non-contrast assessment. IMPRESSION: 1. There are four lumbar-type vertebrae, labeled L2 through L5, congruent with the numbering on prior imaging studies and the ___ operative note. 2. The intervertebral device at L5-S1 is located to the right of midline, extending to the ventral margin of the right neural foramen. There is no other post-operative CT for comparison. 3. Erosion of the right inferior endplate of L5 overlying the interbody device, suggesting loosening and the possibility of infection, given the history of fever. MRI would be more sensitive for evaluating extend of infection, as well as detecting an epidural collection or paravertebral collection, if clinically warranted. 4. Posterior fusion hardware at L5 and S1 appears unremarkable without evidence for complications. Findings were discussed by Dr. ___ with Dr. ___ over the telephone on ___ at 4:30 pm.

Name: ___ Unit No: ___ Admission Date: ___ Discharge Date: ___ Date of Birth: ___ Sex: F Service: NEUROLOGY Allergies: No Known Allergies / Adverse Drug Reactions Attending: ___ Chief Complaint: left-sided weakness, left visual field cut, headache Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: ___ angiogram with R ICA stenting ___ angiogram with clot aspiriation History of Present Illness: HPI: The patient is an ___ year old right handed woman who presents with about 18 hours of headache, lightheadedness, intermittent dysarthria, left lower face weakness, and difficulty using the left side. She only has a known history of hypertension (on two medications and aspirin) and possibly hyperlipidemia (not on medications). She has been feeling well recently with no recent injury or illness. She was doing ___ cleaning in her house yesterday but did not think she overexerted herself. She has been eating and drinking okay. Last evening around 19:30 ___, she developed a right temporal pulsatile headache; she has no history of migraines and does not usually have unilateral or pounding headaches. She typically has bifrontal dull achy headaches once or twice per month that resolve with acetaminophen. She took two acetaminophen and felt somewhat better. She went to bed at 21:30 ___. She awoke at 06:30 AM and felt lightheaded. There was no vertigo or gait imbalance. Her husband (who has hearing loss) thought she may or may not have been harder to understand in terms of her enunciation. She reports feeling "odd" but denied any other symptoms including neck pain, palpitations, chest pain, nausea, dyspnea on exertion, vision changes, or difficulty moving her arms and legs. Nonetheless, she and her husband went to ___ in the morning where some basic studies were performed, and she was sent back home. When her son took her home, he noticed as she was getting out of the car that her left arm and leg didn't seem to be moving in a coordinated fashion, and when she gave her something to drink some of it spilled out of the left side of her mouth. He thought that she seemed "not herself" and had asymmetry of her face on the left. This prompted him to bring her to our Emergency Department. Here, due to an unknown time of onset of symptoms, a Code Stroke was not called, but Neurology was consulted after it was discovered on examination that she had a left-sided visual field cut. The patient herself is only aware of the lightheadedness and headache from last night. She denies any other symptoms and is unaware of her deficits which include a left homonymous hemianopia, mild left lower face weakness, and left sided sensory neglect. Her CT did not reveal a hypodensity to explain her symptoms but the impression was for a small choroidal territory stroke from hypoperfusion or embolization. A CTA revealed a very stenotic right ICA origin. We discussed the case with Vascular Surgery for possible carotid endarterectomy and were planning to admit her to the Neurology service with efforts to maintain perfusion and on a heparin infusion. However, in the ED, she suddenly became less alert, had a right gaze deviation, and stopped moving her left arm with her right arm raised above her head. Her SBP was in the 140s (she presented in the 190s-200s). This only lasted a minute or so but raised concern for seizure activity from the EM team. When the EM physician evaluated her, she was already improving and these symptoms had resolved by the time we returned. A repeat NCHCT did not show hemorrhage but did show more established mild hypodensities in a watershed territory in the right cerebral hemisphere. She did have left hemineglect (did not initially recognize her hand) and brisker reflexes on the left. In this setting Vascular Surgery decided that carotid endarterectomy may be too risky and asked Neurosurgery to consult for possible stenting; our Neurosurgery colleagues evaluated her and are planning to take her to the Neurointerventional suite for carotid angiography and possible carotid artery stenting. On review of systems, the patient endorses: lightheadedness (only), recent mild-moderate headache. On review of systems, the patient denies the following: - Neurologic: confusion, difficulty producing speech, difficulty understanding speech, vision loss, diplopia, vertigo, dysarthria, dysphagia, focal limb weakness, sensory loss, gait imbalance. - Constitutional: fever, rigors, night sweats, unintentional weight loss. - Cardiovascular: chest pain, palpitations. - Gastrointestinal: nausea, emesis, diarrhea, constipation. - Genitourinary: dysuria, urinary urgency, urinary incontinence. - Ear, Nose, Throat: tinnitus, hearing loss, rhinorrhea, odynophagia. - Hematologic: bleeding, easy bruising. - Musculoskeletal: arthralgia, myalgia. - Psychiatric: anxiety, depression. - Respiratory: dyspnea, cough, hematemesis. - Skin: rash, new skin lesions.

PROCEDURE PERFORMED: Diagnostic cerebral angiography with acute right ICA clot thrombolysis and aspiration. INDICATIONS: Ms. ___ is an ___ white female who presented with acutely symptomatic stroke and critical right ICA stenosis of 90% or greater. She underwent uncomplicated carotid stenting and received aspirin and Plavix. Postoperatively, she had done well initially and her exam was the same. However, she became more somnolent and less interactive, so CT was done demonstrating no flow to the carotid stent. After a long discussion with the family regarding implications of retreatment, potential for thrombus or thrombolysis, as well as the risk for reperfusion hemorrhage, decision was made to give her IV Integrilin at a loading dose and then bring her down to the angio suite for possible thrombo aspiration. ATTENDING: Dr. ___. ASSISTANT: Dr. ___, Dr. ___. ANESTHESIA: General endotracheal anesthesia. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCEDURE: Ms. ___ was brought to the neuroangio suite, immediately intubated, and placed on the neuroangio table. Bilateral groins were prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. The sheath from the previous procedure had been left in and an exchange for the ___ wire was used to place a new 8 ___ sheath and then a 9 ___ sheath. A 5 ___ ___ 2 catheter was then connected to an RSV, contrast power injector and continuous heparinized saline flush, and used to in ___ configuration access the right common carotid artery. Runs were used to demonstrate occlusion of the stent. Next, under roadmap guidance, an exchange length 0.038 Terumo Glidewire was used to remove the ___ 2 for a 9 ___ ___ balloon guide catheter after the balloon had been prepped. This was placed within the distal common carotid artery. 4MAX reperfusion catheter was then brought up to the proximal face of the clot and then balloon catheter was inflated and mechanical aspiration was used on the clock for roughly two minutes. After this, the catheter was brought back with aspiration and then the balloon was deflated. Intracranial runs were then performed and the catheter was removed and the sheath was left sutured in place. IMAGING FINDINGS: 1. Initial angiography demonstrates injection within the common carotid artery with good filling down into the external carotid artery as well as reflux down into the subclavian and vertebral artery. There is evidence of in-stent thrombosis with complete occlusion in the mid stent with no filling of the ICA distally. Intracranial runs demonstrate this further with preserved external carotid artery filling and slow reflux and reperfusion of the ICA and MCA distribution through collaterals through the external carotid artery and the ophthalmic artery. Final post clot aspiration imaging demonstrates good filling through the common carotid artery and the external carotid artery with open flow through the ICA. There remains stenosis within the actual stent and residual stenosis per NASCET criteria measures 49%. Flow is seen at good timing through the internal carotid artery through the ICA and out into the MCA distribution with no obvious complete cut-off in the distal MCA distribution. There is a plaque and thrombus seen within the internal carotid artery, both within the cervical ICA as well as higher at the ICA bifurcation at the end of the procedure. Due to the risk of bleeding and significant reperfusion hemorrhage, feeling was that adding any further antiplatelet agent or anticoagulant at this point would lead to increased reperfusion hemorrhage risk. CONCLUSIONS: 1. Complete occlusion in her right ICA stent, status post thrombo aspiration with recanalization of the ICA to 49% stenosis with some distal thrombus seen within the ICA.

Radiology Report AP CHEST, 9:36 A.M., ___ HISTORY: An ___ woman with stroke. Rule out pneumonia. IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to ___ and ___: Mild pulmonary edema developed between ___ and ___. Subsequently, the edema has improved somewhat, but there is more consolidation at the right lung base that could be due either to atelectasis or new pneumonia. The heart size is top normal. Nasogastric tube passes into the stomach and out of view. Pleural effusions are small. No pneumothorax. Dr. ___ was paged at 12:30 as soon as the study was reviewed. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: Video oropharyngeal swallowing examination INDICATION: Episodes of dysphagia and possible aspiration. TECHNIQUE: Oropharyngeal swallowing videofluoroscopy was performed in conjunction with the speech and swallow division. Multiple consistencies of barium were administered. COMPARISON: None FINDINGS: Limited examination was performed due to patient's clinical status. There is gross aspiration of nectar with inadequate bolus formation attempted swallowing of purees/thickened barium. Exam was halted at this point and the residual barium was suctioned from the patient's oropharynx. Transferred images are slightly limited due to degraded image quality injure in transferring to the speech and language pathologist's workstation and then to PACS. Original images, viewed at the fluoroscopy machine during the study were of greater quality and satisfactory for diagnosis. IMPRESSION: Gross aspiration of nectar thickened barium and inability to form bolus with pureed barium. Please refer to the speech and swallow division note in OMR for full details, assessment, and recommendations. Radiology Report PICC line placement. COMPARISON: ___. FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph, the patient has received a right-sided PICC line. The tip of the line projects over the lower SVC.

The right anterior communicating artery is hypoplastic. There are calcifications in the cavernous portion of the internal carotid arteries. Neck CTA: There is high-grade stenosis (70 80%) at the bifurcation of the right internal carotid artery that extends approximately 1 cm into the internal carotid artery. There is atherosclerotic calcification at the bifurcation of the left carotid artery, however, there is no flow-limiting stenosis. The right vertebral artery is congenitally small and has a calcified plaque at its origin. The left vertebral artery is without flow-limiting stenosis. No aneurysm or vascular malformation identified. IMPRESSION: High-grade stenosis (70-80%) at the bifurcation the right internal carotid artery that extends approximately 1 cm into the internal carotid artery. The 3D reformations are pending.

No acute fracture is seen. The imaged paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are well aerated. The orbits are unremarkable. There is rotatory orientation of C1 and C2, which is new since study obtained two hours prior. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence of acute intracranial process. 2. Rotatory orientation of C1 and C2 is most likely positional, however, clinical correlation is recommended to exclude underlying ligamentous injury. Radiology Report RADIOLOGY PROCEDURE NOTE SERVICE: Neurosurgery. PROCEDURE PERFORMED: Diagnostic cerebral angiography with injections of the right common carotid artery, right internal carotid artery stenting for acute symptomatic carotid stenosis and stroke, in-stent balloon angioplasty. INDICATIONS: Ms. ___ is an ___ white female who presented to the emergency department with significant right-sided ICA stenosis. Her symptoms initially started five hours ago; however, she improved back to her baseline. Over the last hour, she has developed significant left-sided weakness and neglect, indicative of a right parietal stroke syndrome and an ___ stroke scale of 10. Her CTA demonstrates critical right ICA stenosis, indicative of likely stroke. After discussion with the family, plan was made to bring the patient to the neuroangio suite for potential intra-arterial stroke therapy. ATTENDING: Dr. ___. ASSISTANT: Dr. ___, Dr. ___. ANESTHESIA: General endotracheal anesthesia. MEDICATIONS EMPLOYED: The patient was brought to the angio suite after having been loaded with 325 mg of aspirin rectally as well as 600 mg of Plavix rectally in the emergency department. She had previously been on aspirin. She was also on heparin drip at time of the procedure. DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE: The patient was emergently brought to the neuroangio suite and quickly intubated while a very brief timeout was performed. Her bilateral groins were prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion and her right femoral artery was accessed using anatomic landmarks. Using a micropuncture needle kit and Seldinger technique, an 8 ___ sheath was placed in the right femoral artery, sutured in place and connected to a continuous heparinized saline flush. Next, a 5 ___ ___ 2 catheter was connected to an RHV, continuous heparinized saline flush, and a contrast power injector and brought over the aortic arch using an 0.038 Terumo Glidewire. A ___ configuration was performed and the right common carotid artery was accessed. Cervical and intracranial AP and lateral angiography was then performed. Next, under roadmap guidance, the ___ 2 was brought into the external carotid artery and exchanged with a 0.035 Amplatz exchange wire for a 6 ___ Cook shuttle; was used to place the Cook shuttle in the distal common carotid artery. Next, under roadmap guidance, carefully an Emboshield NAV6 was placed within the distal internal carotid artery and deployed successfully, and then over the Monorail system, an Xact carotid stent was placed within the internal carotid artery and deployed without any problems. AP and lateral angiography then followed. Next, a 5 x 30 ___ balloon was brought up within the stent and inflated and then deflated. Final intracranial AP and lateral angiography then followed and the patient was allowed to wake up and she was found to be extubated at her largely same preoperative exam with an ___ stroke scale of ___. IMAGING FINDINGS: 1. RIGHT COMMON CAROTID ARTERY: Injection is seen with the catheter in the proximal common carotid artery with some reflux down into the subclavian and the vertebral artery. Common carotid artery demonstrates good filling to the common carotid and the external carotid artery, but sluggish flow through the internal carotid artery. There is an obvious ulcerated and stenotic plaque at the ICA bifurcation with thrombus associated with it, and significant stenosis of the artery, measuring 91% per NASCET criteria. The distal flow through the ICA is quite sluggish and fills in a delayed fashion. Intracranial AP and lateral angiography demonstrates good rapid filling of the external carotid artery branches and very slow sluggish filling through a normally contoured distal ICA. The origins of the ophthalmic and anterior choroidal arteries appear normal through this injection; however, there is no evidence of a PCom. There is no communication with an ACA from this side and there is an isolated right MCA distribution hemisphere. Subsequent imaging demonstrates guide catheter position within the common carotid artery and stent deployment across the ICA stenosis with improved flow through the ICA. Post-balloon angioplasty demonstrates good position of the stent within the ICA down into the common carotid artery and a smoothly contoured appearance of the ICA. The residual stenosis measures 10% after procedure. Final intracranial AP and lateral angiography demonstrates rapid filling of the ICA with no filling of the ACA distribution and minimal PCom communication, but completely preserved and intact appearance of the MCA vasculature with no appearance of cut-off and good parenchymal filling and venous egress. CONCLUSIONS: 1. Symptomatic right ICA stenosis with 91% degree of stenosis status post carotid stenting with resolution of the ulcerated plaque and stenosis down to 9%. Markedly improved flow is seen distally within the ICA to the isolated right MCA filling with no distal evidence of thromboembolic complications.

Dear ___ was our pleasure caring for you at the ___. You were admitted to the hospital for concerns of a possible seizure you endured the night before admission which caused you to have confusion and agitation thereafter. We did a CT and MRI scan of your head and worked with the neurology team to investigate the cause of your confusion. The images of your brain showed old lesions which indicate past strokes. We could not find any brain infection which could have also been the cause of your seizure. We are treating you with an antibiotic for a urinary tract infection which you are to complete at home (total of 10 day course). You expressed your wish to return home and have comfort-focused care. You will have visiting nurses and physical therapy to care for you at home. The palliative care team will also continue to see you and further discuss your goals of care.

The ovary is seen adjacent to this. This is not a classic ___ since the ovary is seen separate from the tube, and but the amount of debris in the tube is compatible with a pyosalpinx. This tube measures 5.2 x 2.3 cm on the images where it appears the largest. This change in diagnosis from hydrosalpinx to pyosalpinx is compatible with the patient's clinical history of PID. CT A/P ___: 1. Bilateral fluid-filled tubular structures within the pelvis most likely represent bilateral hydrosalpinges including suggestion of bilateral inflammatory changes. Although an inflamed appendix intermingled with the right adnexa is hard to exclude, a small inflammed tube seems much more likely. Active pelvic inflammatory disease is a likely etiology and further evaluation with ultrasound is suggested. 2. Cholelithiasis without evidence of cholecystitis. CT A/P ___: 1. Fluid-filled rim-enhancing tubular structures in both adnexa are most consistent with pyosalpinx as noted on the recent ultrasound. 2. 9 mm fluid filled appendix without ___ stranding to suggest appendicitis.

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report CLINICAL HISTORY: ___ woman with marked bilateral abdominal pain and rebound tenderness. COMPARISON: ___ examination. TECHNIQUE: Multidetector helical CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis was obtained after administration of 130 cc of Omnipaque intravenous contrast. Axial, coronal, and sagittal reformats were prepared. FINDINGS: Within the lung bases, no concerning lesions or pleural effusions are seen. The mediastinum is unremarkable. CT OF THE ABDOMEN: A hypodense lesion in the right lobe of the liver measures 16 x 12 mm in axial ___ (2:17), similar to decreased; although indeterminant stability suggests benignity. The spleen, pancreas, bilateral kidneys, and bilateral adrenal glands are unremarkable. The gallbladder shows several dependent calcified gallstones. The stomach, duodenum, and small bowel loops within the abdomen are unremarkable. Portions of the colon within the abdomen are unremarkable. CT OF THE PELVIS: Within the pelvis, the adnexa show evidence of calcifications followed by a fluid-filled tubular structures on the right as well as the left (image 2:64 and image 2:65 as well as image 601B:17 and image 601B:18). On the right the tubular structure is small but with mural enhancement. Although the cecum closely approaches it, it appears more likely adnexal suggesting a small probably inflammed fallopian tube. On the left there is clearly a moderate convoluted tube consistent with a hydrosalpinx and its fluid content is perhaps slightly hyperdense. The appendix is not clearly visualized as a separate entity (although it is also not clearly seen on earlier examinations) so it is difficult to completely exclude that the right-sided structure could potentially represent an inflammed appendix, although doubted. The loops of small bowel within the pelvis as well as the rectum and uterus are unremarkable. The bladder is distended and unremarkable. No pelvic lymphadenopathy is seen. OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: The osseous structures show no concerning sclerotic or lytic bone lesions. IMPRESSION: 1. Bilateral fluid-filled tubular structures within the pelvis most likely represent bilateral hydrosalpinges including suggestion of bilateral inflammatory changes. Although an inflamed appendix intermingled with the right adnexa is hard to exclude, a small inflammed tube seems much more likely. Active pelvic inflammatory disease is a likely etiology and further evaluation with ultrasound is suggested. 2. Cholelithiasis without evidence of cholecystitis. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ woman with clinical PID, evaluate for tubo-ovarian abscess. COMPARISON: CT abdomen and pelvis with contrast ___. PELVIC ULTRASOUND: LMP: ___. Transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound examinations were performed, the latter for better visualization of the endometrium and adnexa. The uterus measures 9.3 x 5.4 x 7.5 cm. The endometrium measures 6 mm and is within normal limits. The right ovary measures 4.4 x 2.5 x 3.3 cm. A follicle is noted within the right ovary. The left ovary measures 3.5 x 2.8 x 2.4 cm. A predominantly anechoic tubular structure within the left adnexa appears consistent with hydrosalpinx. C-section scar with possible fibroid measuring 1.1 x 1.4 x 1.4 cm within the C-section scar is noted in the lower uterine segment. There is fluid in the cervix. IMPRESSION: 1. C-section scar with possible small fibroid at the C-section scar. 2. Fluid within the cervix. 3. Left hydrosalpinx. Addendum: This study was discussed with Dr. ___ at 845 AM on ___ by Dr. ___. The ultrasound shows a dilated tube on the left with a slightly thick wall and debris. The ovary is seen adjacent to this. This is not a classic ___ since the ovary is seen separate from the tube, and but the amount of debris in the tube is compatible with a pyosalpinx. This tube measures 5.2 x 2.3 cm on the images where it appears the largest. This change in diagnosis from hydrosalpinx to pyosalpinx is compatible with the patient's clinical history of PID. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ woman with likely PID versus appe, now with worsening pain and continued to be febrile. COMPARISON: Pelvic ultrasound from ___, CT of the abdomen and pelvis from ___. TECHNIQUE: MDCT images were acquired through the abdomen and pelvis with IV and oral contrast. Multiplanar reformations were obtained and reviewed. DLP: 503.24 mGy-cm. FINDINGS: The partially imaged lungs show minimal bibasilar atelectasis. The partially imaged heart is unremarkable. The topmost dome of the right lobe of the liver is not imaged on the current exam. CT OF THE ABDOMEN WITH IV CONTRAST: The liver shows a focal hypodensity adjacent to the IVC, likely representing a simple cyst. The portal vein is patent. The spleen, both adrenals, both kidneys, pancreas are unremarkable. The gallbladder contains vicariously excreted contrast. A stone is noted in the neck of the gallbladder measuring 12 x 15 mm. No abdominal free fluid or free air is present. No abdominal, retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymphadenopathy by CT size criteria is present. The small bowel loops are unremarkable. The appendix measures up to 9 mm and is fluid filled, although no significant periappendiceal stranding is noted. CT OF THE PELVIS WITH IV CONTRAST: The rectum, sigmoid colon, bladder, and uterus are unremarkable. Both adnexa show tubular rim-enhancing structures which are most consistent with pyosalpinx as noted on the recent pelvic ultrasound. There is a small amount of pelvic free fluid. A Foley catheter terminates within the bladder. No pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy is present. OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: The visible osseous structures show no suspicious lytic or blastic lesions or fractures. IMPRESSION: 1. Fluid-filled rim-enhancing tubular structures in both adnexa are most consistent with pyosalpinx as noted on the recent ultrasound. 2. 9 mm fluid filled appendix without ___ stranding to suggest appendicitis.

Dear Mr. ___, It was a pleasure taking care of you during your hospitalization. You were admitted when you developed an acute onset of shortness of breath. We were worried that this could have been due to your heart not functioning as well or from a problem with your lungs. We obtained a scan of your lungs that showed that you had blood clots in your lungs. We kept you on a blood thinner and started you on a medication called Rivaroxaban that you should continue taking for at least six months. You also reported poor appetite so we performed a endoscopy and colonoscopy to make sure that there were no anatomical problems with your gastrointestinal system. This showed mild irritation for which you should take a medication called pantoprazole twice a day. We also gave a you a medication for your sleep. We have followup with Dr. ___ you next ___. We wish you the best, Your ___ team

Patient was very recently admitted to the ___ Cardiology service for CHF exacerbation and rapid AFib. He was diuresed to euvolemia, started on amiodarone, and successfully electrically cardioverted on ___. He discharged home the following day in sinus rhythm. He felt well for the two days and was able to go to work and go out to dinner. However, ___ evening he began feeling fatigued. He attributed this initially to a cold. However, his fatigue persisted despite his runny nose and chills resolving. Yesterday evening (___) he nearly fell asleep sitting at the dinner table. When he awoke he felt transiently off balance; no dizziness or unilateral weakness, just disequilibrium; this resolved quickly. His wife also reported his speech was transiently garbled. He thought this was due to being half asleep, but she was worried and insisted he seek medical attention so they drove to the ED. In the ED: - Initial VS: 99.9 107 177/97 18 RA - Labs notable for: WBC 6.4 Cr 1.1 (at baseline), K 4.5, Mg 1.9 Trop <0.01 proBNP 904 (___ last admission) - EKG: AF at 114, normal axis, QTc 457/501, TWI. - CXR: stable cardiomegaly, no edema or pneumonia. - CT head found subacute/chronic bilateral infarcts. - CTA head/neck negative. - Neuro was consulted and believed his symptoms were more related to his rapid AF rather than his strokes and recommended admission to Medicine vs. Cardiology for further management, as well as non-urgent MRI. On the floor, patient reports ongoing fatigue and palpitations. No chest pain, dyspnea, or dizziness. No recurrence of neurologic symptoms since Of note, patient reports good adherence to apixiban, amiodarone, lasix, and all other medications. He weighs himself daily and his weight has been stable since discharge. He follows a low-salt diet. He denies any exertional dyspnea (just fatigue), orthopnea, PND, or recurrent edema. Regarding his neuro symptoms, he denies any headache, vision changes, unilateral weakness, paresthesias, or dysarthria. No convulsions, urinary incontinence, or confusion. His cold symptoms were limited to rhinorrhea and chills. He has not had any fevers, sinus pain, cough, N/V/D/abdominal pain, dysuria, or rashes. Past Medical History: 1.

Axial imaging was performed with gradient echo, FLAIR, diffusion, and T2 technique were then obtained. COMPARISON CT head without contrast from ___ FINDINGS: Please note that the study is suboptimal due to extensive motion artifact which limits evaluation of intracranial structures. Within these limitations, there are several areas of high signal on the diffusion-weighted images in the left cerebellar hemisphere corresponding to the abnormalities seen on the CT head study from ___. However, the apparent diffusion coefficient images are so degraded by motion artifact that it is not clear whether there are corresponding regions of slow diffusion. Prominence of ventricles and sulci are compatible with age related involutional changes. Ill-defined T2/FLAIR hyperintensities are nonspecific but likely due to chronic sequela of small-vessel ischemic disease. The paranasal sinuses are grossly clear without obvious opacification. The orbits are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: 1. Please note the study is suboptimal due to extensive motion artifact which limits evaluation of intracranial structures. 2.

Dear Mr. ___, You were admitted to the hospital after falling at home. You likely fell because your blood sugar was so low. When you fell you broke a bone in your neck. This should heal without surgery, but you will need to wear a collar for quite a while. You will see the spine surgeons in clinic. We decreased your insulin dose to prevent your blood sugar from going so low. It was a privilege to care for you in the hospital, and we wish you all the best. Sincerely, Your ___ Health Team

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Ambulatory - requires assistance or aid (walker or cane). Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report CHEST RADIOGRAPH PERFORMED ON ___ ___. CLINICAL HISTORY: DOE, question pulmonary edema. FINDINGS: PA and lateral views of the chest obtained. AICD is again seen with lead tips extending into the right atrium and right ventricle. Midline sternotomy wires and mediastinal clips are again noted. There are bilateral small pleural effusions with fluid tracking along the minor fissure. Mild pulmonary interstitial edema is likely present. Cardiomediastinal silhouette is stable. Bony structures are intact. IMPRESSION: Mild interstitial edema with bilateral small pleural effusions. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ man with questionable liver laceration now with worsening abdominal pain and decreased hematocrit. Question worsening abdominal pathology. COMPARISON: ___ as well as ___ CT of the abdomen and pelvis. TECHNIQUE: CT of the abdomen and pelvis was performed with the administration of IV contrast. No oral contrast was administered. FINDINGS: LUNG BASES: There is a stable appearing rounded consolidation in the right lower lobe most consistent with rounded atelectasis. There is calcified pleural plaques consistent with prior asbestos exposure. Apex of the heart is unremarkable with ventricular lead terminating in the right ventricle. ABDOMEN: Liver is of normal contour with no focal masses or evidence of laceration. Gallbladder is unremarkable. Spleen and pancreas are unremarkable. Bilateral kidneys are unremarkable; they enhance and excrete contrast symmetrically. There is trace perihepatic ascites (2:23); however, this is decreased since the prior examination. Other areas of ascites from the prior examination such as the left paracolic gutter as well as pelvic free fluid has mostly resolved with the exception of trace amounts of pelvic free fluid (2:69). Overall, the amount of fluid has decreased. Loops of small and large bowel are unremarkable. Aortic calcifications are once again noted. These extend through the iliacs. PELVIS: Large bowel is unremarkable. Bladder is normal. Prostate is enlarged with multiple prostatic seeds. No pelvic lymphadenopathy. Trace ascites in the pelvis again is mildly decreased since the prior examination. OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: No concerning lytic or sclerotic lesions. No fracture is identified. Significant degenerative changes within the thoracolumbar spine are again noted and unchanged. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence of acute intra-abdominal pathology. 2. Amount of ascites since the examination of ___ has decreased. Radiology Report CHEST ON ___ HISTORY: Chest pain. REFERENCE EXAM: ___. FINDINGS: Again seen is a dual-lead pacemaker, moderate cardiomegaly, sternal wires, mediastinal clips, patchy areas of volume loss and bilateral small effusions, small pulmonary vascular redistribution. Compared to the study from five days prior, the effusions are slightly smaller and the aeration of the right lower lung is slightly larger, but the vascular plethora is more pronounced. The overall impression is that of persistent CHF. Radiology Report HISTORY: CHF with acute delirium. FINDINGS: In comparison with study of ___, there are continued low lung volumes with enlargement of the cardiac silhouette and blunting of the costophrenic angles consistent with pleural effusions and bibasilar atelectasis. Pacemaker device remains in place. No convincing evidence of pulmonary vascular congestion. Radiology Report INDICATION: Abdominal pain and distention. Concern for obstruction or megacolon. COMPARISON: CT abdomen and pelvis, ___. FINDINGS: There is bibasilar atelectasis. Median sternotomy wires and pacer leads are partially visualized. There is a large amount of gas within the stomach. The bowel gas pattern is otherwise within normal limits. Radiopaque brachytherapy seeds are visualized in the region of the prostate. There is no evidence of free intraperitoneal air. The osseous structures are unremarkable. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ male with confusion status post fall with head strike. COMPARISON: ___. TECHNIQUE: Axial CT images through the head were acquired without intravenous contrast. Coronal, sagittal, and thin slice bone reconstructed images were created and reviewed. FINDINGS: Images of the skull base are degraded by motion artifact, limiting evaluation. Within this limitation, there is no evidence for acute intracranial hemorrhage, large mass, mass effect, or hydrocephalus. Bifrontal encephalomalacia appears similar compared to prior. Arterial calcifications are noted. Prominent ventricles and sulci suggest age-related involutional changes. White matter hypodensity is likely secondary to sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease. The basal cisterns appear patent. Muscosal thickening is seen in the ethmoid air cells. IMPRESSION: No CT evidence for acute intracranial hemorrhage. Bifrontal areas of encephalomalacia unchanged from ___.

It was a pleasure taking care of you during your recent admission. You were admitted because of worsening shortness of breath. You were given lasix to help get excess fluid off of your lungs, and you improved. You had no ongoing shortness of breath. You had a cardiac catheterization and a stent was placed. You had no ongoing chest pain for the remainder of admission. You were very delerious throughout the admission, requiring lots of medication to help you calm down. For help sleeping at night, please take seroquel, and do not take trazodone or alprazolam. If you are more confused or agitated after taking 1 dose of seroquel, you may take a second tab. You also had difficulty urinating on your own, and need to have a catheter placed in your bladder. You were started on a medication to help you urinate, but for now should keep the catheter in place until you see a urologist. The following changes were made to your medication regimen: - START plavix daily - INCREASE aspirin to 325mg daily - INCREASE metoprolol to 100mg twice a day - STOP spironolactone - STOP donepezil - STOP alprazolam as this will cause confusion - STOP trazodone as this will cause confusion - START seroquel at night to help with sleep and decrease confusion. For increasing agitation, may give an extra dose of seroquel. - START tamsulosin once daily at night for help with urinary retention Please continue the remainder of medications as prescribed prior to admission

Coronal and sagittal reformats were produced and reviewed. COMPARISON: Left knee radiographs, ___ and intraoperative images, ___. FINDINGS: There has been placement of an external fixator device with proximal fixation through the distal femur and distal fixation through the distal tibia. There has also been fasciotomy with skin defects evident along the medial and lateral aspects of the calf. There is a small amount of subcutaneous air, some of which tracks into the fascial planes (3:277). This is presumed to be related to the recent surgery. There is also a small amount of air in the medullary cavity of the tibia (3:223). There is a split and depressed fracture of the lateral tibial plateau (401B:40) with depression of the articular surface by approximately 1.1 cm. There is a spiral component of this fracture which extends down to the mid tibial diaphysis (401B:35). There is minimal displacement of this fracture line. There is an additional comminuted fracture of the proximal fibula (401B:44). This is angulated but not displaced. A moderate-sized lipohemarthrosis is seen. There is mild diffuse subcutaneous edema throughout the visualized lower extremity. Assessment of the soft tissue structures of the knee is limited; nonetheless, the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments appear to be intact. The extensor mechanism is intact. Multifocal areas of increased attenuation within the medulla of both the femur and the proximal tibia are presumed to be blood related to the fracture at the placement of the ex-fix device (3:100). No ___ cyst is seen. IMPRESSION: 1. Split and depressed-type fracture of the lateral tibial plateau, Schatzker type 2, with 1.1 cm depression of the articular surface.

Dear Ms. ___, It was a pleasure being involved in your care. You were admitted to the hospital because you had bright red blood in your stool. We were concerned that you were having bleeding from your gastrointestinal tract. You had a sigmoidoscopy that looked at the lower part of your gastrointestinal tract that showed showed inflammation or colitis. This was thought to most likely be due to constipation. We started you on a medication called colace and miralax that you should take daily to help with constipation. It is also important for you to drink fluids daily to help prevent constipation. You also had a scope of your upper gastrointestinal tract that showed your hiatal hernia. It was recommended that you continue to take prilosec. Sincerely, Your ___ Team

Report based on all the images provided. COMPARISON: CT head from ___, on ___. FINDINGS: CT HEAD: No acute intracranial hemorrhage or mass effect. Dense calcifications in the basal ganglia and cerebellar hemispheres, similar to the prior study. Scattered hypodense foci in the cerebral white matter in the frontal and the parietal lobes on both sides. Limited assessment for small acute infarcts. Moderately prominent ventricles, mildly prominent extra-axial CSF spaces and sulci, likely relates to volume loss. No suspicious osseous lytic or sclerotic lesions are noted. Mild ethmoidal mucosal thickening. The mastoid air cells are clear. CT ANGIOGRAM HEAD: The major intracranial arteries of the anterior and the posterior circulation are patent, without focal flow-limiting stenosis or occlusion. There is fetal PCA pattern on the left side, with diminutive or absent P1 segment and posterior communicating artery continuing as the posterior cerebral artery. Vascular calcifications are noted in the cavernous carotid segments on both sides, with mild to moderate narrowing. The anterior and the middle cerebral arteries are patent.

Calcified and noncalcified plaques are noted at the common carotid bifurcations, extending into the proximal cervical internal carotid arteries on both sides, more on the left. In the left common carotid bifurcation, there is approximately 55% stenosis series 3, image 157 by calcified and noncalcified plaques. In the left proximal cervical internal carotid artery, though there is approximately 30% stenosis by NASCET criteria, there is mild expansion of the vessel contour, with peripheral calcifications and noncalcified plaques laterally, over a length of approximately 2.1 cm series 602b, image 47, resulting in approximately atleast 60-65% stenosis by European criteria- series 3, image 167. Accurate assessment is somewhat limited due to the tortuous course and eccentric location of the plaques. There is also likely tiny hypodense focus, that can relate to filling defect within or volume averaging -series 3, image 173. The vertebral arteries are patent throughout their course, without focal flow-limiting stenosis or occlusion. Calcifications are noted at the vertebral artery origins right more than left and in the left V2 and V4 segments.

Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W/O CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ year old man with right cortical hand // define stroke characteristics TECHNIQUE: Sagittal T1 weighted imaging was performed. Axial imaging was performed with gradient echo, FLAIR, diffusion, and T2 technique. COMPARISON: No prior MRI. Prior CT and CTA study dated ___ FINDINGS: There are several small scattered regions of slow diffusion in the left frontal lobe, left parietal lobe, and a few in the inferior left temporal lobe and left occipital lobe. This diffusion abnormality is particularly evident in the left pre and postcentral gyri. T2/FLAIR signal abnormality is seen within these regions. Findings are consistent with acute-subacute infarction in primarily MCA territory. There is no evidence of hemorrhagic transformation. The ventricles and sulci are prominent likely reflecting age-related parenchymal volume loss. There is additional periventricular, subcortical, and deep white matter T2/FLAIR signal hyperintensity likely reflecting chronic small vessel ischemic disease. Susceptibility artifact noted in the bilateral cerebellar hemispheres corresponds to calcification as seen on prior CT scan. Major vascular flow voids are patent. Patient is status post bilateral lens replacement. There is mucosal thickening within the ethmoid air cells. The remaining paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are clear. IMPRESSION: 1. Several foci of acute-subacute infarction in primarily the left MCA territory as detailed above, likely embolic; no evidence of hemorrhagic transformation, significant edema or mass effect. 2. T2/FLAIR signal hyperintensity in the periventricular, subcortical, and deep white matter which is nonspecific but likely on the basis of chronic small vessel ischemic disease.

Name: ___ Unit No: ___ Admission Date: ___ Discharge Date: ___ Date of Birth: ___ Sex: M Service: MEDICINE Allergies: No Known Allergies / Adverse Drug Reactions Attending: ___. Chief Complaint: Anemia Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: EGD Blood transfusion History of Present Illness: Mr. ___ is a ___ y/o gentleman without any significant medical history who presented to the ED from his PCP's office for a Hgb of 6. He was in his normal state of health until five months ago when he started to feel as if his 'stomach was bubbling'. He attributed the sensation to excessive caffeine use, as he was drinking several soft and energy drinks every day. As a result, he stopped drinking caffeine and experienced severe caffeine withdrawal headaches. To self-treat his withdrawal headaches he was taking approximately 9 regular aspirin a day for about a week, and then continued to take numerous aspirin after that weeks. In the setting of his excessive aspirin intake, he began to notice dark tarry stools and increasing fatigue. He appoximates that he's had about one melanic stool per day, although in the past few days it has been more frequent. No other symptoms of diarrhea or bright red blood in his stool. He had a couple episodes of nonbilious, nonbloody vomiting approximately two weeks ago. As the month progressed, he noted increasing fatigue, especially as his job as the ___ ___ requires a great deal of energy. He notes increasing muscle weakness, a heart that 'was working hard' and the sensation of 'seeing bright lights' with exertion. A few weeks ago, he had a episode of left arm and chest pain that resolved over the day, was not associated with exertion, and changed with movement, which the patient attributed to an uncomfortable sleeping position. He also noted that his skin appeared more pale. He initially attributed his symptoms to dehydration and thus, drank a great deal of gatorade and water to compensate. When this did not relieve his symptoms, he visited his PCP. Labs done by his primary care physician ___ ___ were notable for severe ___ deficiency anemia with Hg 6.0, Hct 19.9, MCV 68.3, Plt 446, Serum Fe 27, TIBC 479, Tfn ___ 5.6 and Transferrin 342. Due to his severe anemia and suggestive symptoms, his PCP suggested he present to the ___ ED. At the advice of his PCP, he presented to the ___ ED. He does not report any fevers, chills, dyspnea, pain, chemical exposures, travel history or trauma. In the ED, initial vitals: 98.8 98 131/58 16 100% RA. He had guiaic positive stools and GI was consulted. They suggested an EGD tomorrow morning, and starting a PPI tonight. Vitals prior to transfer: 98.1 79 93/61 18 100%RA Currently, he feels slightly fatigued, but has no other symptoms, including no pain, no dizziness, no lightheadedness and no palpitations. He is comfortable laying in bed. ROS: No fevers, chills, night sweats. Has gained 3 lbs over the last month. No changes in hearing, no changes in balance. No cough, no shortness of breath.

Dear Mr. ___, It was a pleasure to take part in your care during your stay at the ___. As you know, you were admitted to the hospital to receive a blood transfusion and investigate the cause of your anemia (low blood counts). You received a Esophagogastroduodenoscopy or EGD in which a camera took pictures of your esophagus, stomach and the upper part of your small intestine. There was no site of bleeding identified during the EGD. You also received a CT scan to look for changes in your intestine that might be bleeding and could also result in a low blood count. The results of this test were pending at the time of discharge. We have made you an appointment with your primary doctor who you should ___ with so that he can help get you scheduled for an outpatient colonoscopy. You may also need a capsule study (which looks at your small intestine), but only if the other tests are negative. We wish you good health in the future.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST (PORTABLE AP) INDICATION: History: ___ with major trauma//ptx, rib fx TECHNIQUE: Supine AP view of the chest COMPARISON: None. Patient is currently listed as EU critical. FINDINGS: Lung volumes are low. Endotracheal tube tip terminates approximately 3.8 cm from the carina. Cardiac silhouette size is moderately enlarged, accentuated by low lung volumes. There is pulmonary vascular congestion without frank pulmonary edema. Patchy ill-defined opacities are seen within the upper lobes bilaterally and to a lesser extent within the lower lobes, potentially areas of atelectasis, with contusion not excluded. No large pleural effusion or pneumothorax is seen on this supine exam. Fractures of the left third, fourth, and fifth ribs are demonstrated. There is massive gastric distension. IMPRESSION: 1. Endotracheal tube in standard position. 2. Low lung volumes with patchy ill-defined opacities in both upper lobes as well as to a lesser extent in both lower lobes which could reflect atelectasis and/or contusion. 3. Multiple left-sided rib fractures without large pneumothorax or pleural effusion. 4. Marked gastric distension for which enteric tube placement is recommended. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST Q111 CT HEAD INDICATION: History: ___ with trauma, fall from moving truck, +head strike and injury, trauma 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: Acquisition sequence: 1) Sequenced Acquisition 18.0 s, 18.8 cm; CTDIvol = 48.1 mGy (Head) DLP = 903.1 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Head) = 903 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: No prior studies available for comparison. FINDINGS: Multiple acute intracranial hemorrhages are demonstrated including: 1. A 9 mm subdural hematoma along the right cerebral convexity and adjacent subarachnoid hemorrhage seen within the sylvian fissure and right temporal lobe sulci with mass effect resulting in effacement of the right lateral ventricle and 5 mm of leftward midline shift. No subfalcine herniation. 2. A 2.7 x 1.7 x 5.2 cm left parietotemporal intraparenchymal hematoma with adjacent diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage extending the sylvian fissure and inferiorly into the anterior temporal lobe. An overlying temporal bone fracture noted as described below and thus an epidural component to this hemorrhage cannot be excluded. 3. A 2.2 x 1.0 cm lentiform hematoma along the greater wing of the left sphenoid (series 2, image 11), likely an epidural hematoma. The basal cisterns are patent. No evidence of hydrocephalus or acute large territorial infarction. There are three nondisplaced hairline calvarial fractures involving the left zygomatic bone (series 3, image 10), the greater wing of the left sphenoid bone (series 3, image 20), and the squamous portion of the left temporal bone (series 601, image 67) overlying the above-described intraparenchymal hemorrhage. Partial opacification of the bilateral maxillary sinuses and ethmoid air cells, and complete opacification of the sphenoid sinus and nasopharynx may represent sequelae of intubation. The mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are clear. A small locule of air is noted in the extraconal left orbit adjacent to the lateral rectus muscle, likely sequela of adjacent sphenoid bone fracture. Otherwise, the visualized portion the orbits are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: 1. Extensive traumatic right-sided subdural, bilateral subarachnoid, left parietotemporal intraparenchymal, and left-sided epidural hematomas as described above. 2. Right-sided mass effect with effacement of the right lateral ventricle and 5 mm of right to left midline shift. No hydrocephalus, or subfalcine or uncal herniation. 3. Nondisplaced fractures of the left zygomatic, greater wing of the left sphenoid, and squamous portion of the left temporal bones as described above. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT C-SPINE W/O CONTRAST Q311 CT SPINE INDICATION: History: ___ with trauma, fall from moving truck, +head strike*** WARNING *** Multiple patients with same last name!// trauma trauma TECHNIQUE: Non-contrast helical multidetector CT was performed.

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report CLINICAL HISTORY: ___ man with history of cholangitis and pancreatitis and multiple ERCP stents, now with likely stent obstruction. COMPARISON: ___ study. TECHNIQUE: CTA of the abdomen was performed in multiple phases. IV contrast was administered. FINDINGS: The lung bases show dependent atelectasis; however, no nodules or effusions are identified. Pericardium is unremarkable. Within the abdomen, there is arterial enhancement of a portion of segment V of the liver (3A:25) which is not seen on subsequent scans and likely a perfusional abnormality. No focal liver lesions are noted. There is extensive intra- and extra-hepatic ductal dilatation extending from the common bile duct to intrahepatic ducts in both the left and right lobe (3A:23 through 3A:50). The cystic duct is also low inserting (3A:49) and is dilated. CBD stent is seen at the distal aspect of the CBD, 3A:49, but does appear to be in a backward configuration as compared to normal. Within the pancreas, there is mild pancreatic ductal prominence, however, decreased from the prior study. There is also again noted hypoattenuating area in the head of the pancreas (3B:153). This is completely unchanged from the prior study and perhaps which is due to the transversing common bile duct stent. At the tail of the pancreas, a stable 2.6 x 2.5 cm cystic lesion is noted indenting the stomach. The appearance is most likely a pancreatic tail pseudocyst. Bilateral kidneys enhance and excrete contrast symmetrically with no evidence of hydronephrosis or masses. Spleen, aorta, and small and large bowel are unremarkable. There are at least two enlarged portacaval lymph nodes (2:37 1.1 x 1.9 cm and 2:30, 1.2 x 1.4 cm) unchanged in size. BONES: No suspicious bony lesions are noted. IMPRESSION: 1. Intra- or extra-hepatic ductal dilatation with the common bile duct measuring up to 3 cm. CBD stent appears to have migrated in a reverse configuration. 2. Perfusional defects noted in segment V of the liver, but no focal lesions. 3. Stable hypodensity in the pancreatic head and stable pancreatic tail pseudocyst. Stable portacaval lymph nodes. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ female with cholangitis, pancreatitis, and biliary obstruction, for preoperative evaluation. COMPARISON: ___. FINDINGS: AP and lateral chest radiographs demonstrate clear lungs without effusion, or pneumothorax. The cardiac silhouette and mediastinal contours are normal. The pulmonary vasculature is normal. A Silastic CBD stent is unchanged in position in the right upper quadrant. A left IJ central venous catheter has been removed in the interim. IMPRESSION: No acute chest abnormality. Radiology Report INTRAOPERATIVE ULTRASOUND OF THE PANCREAS INDICATION: ___ female with known chronic pancreatitis and intermittent cholangitis and jaundice due to biliary obstruction. OR plan for cholecystectomy and bile duct exploration and bypass. Transgastric and retrogastric imaging of the pancreas was performed, demonstrating extensive parenchymal calcifications throughout the somewhat atrophic pancreas as well as multiple intraductal stones. The pancreatic duct is dilated from the head to the tail with a maximum diameter of 5-6 mm. There appears to be a structured narrowing of the pancreatic duct in the low head of the pancreas within 1-2 cm of the ampulla. Markedly dilated common bile duct is seen with an indwelling stent as well as sludge within the lumen of the duct. CONCLUSION: Findings indicate chronic pancreatitis with parenchymal atrophy and calcifications and pancreatic duct dilatation up to 6 mm., with a short stricture in the pancreatic head as described. Bile duct dilatation was also noted with sludge in the duct and an indwelling ERCP-placed stent.

Dear Ms. ___, Thank you for choosing us for your care. You were admitted for chest pain in conjunction with feelings of lightheadedness. There are many reasons for chest pain. You previously had a filter placed in one of your body's large veins to prevent pulmonary embolism. This time, we have done testing to rule out dangerous conditions such as heart attack and aortic dissection. When you arrived in the ER, one of your blood tests showed that your kidneys were not working optimally. We placed a catheter in your bladder to help measure your urine output. When placed, it drained a large amount of urine, suggesting that your bladder is not emptying properly. We ruled out a physical obstruction by kidney stone using ultrasound. Since we've been draining your urine with a foley, your kidney function has returned to normal. Please see your urologist to follow up this issue of urinary retention on an outpatient basis. When we looked at your urine, we found that it contained bacteria. This can happen if urine is retained for a long time. However, without a fever and without a rise in your immune response, this was more likely to be a benign bacterial colonization of your bladder than an invasive infection. We have started the following medication: Omeprazole 20mg by mouth daily - for treatment of your heartburn

Adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder. 3. No cholelithiasis or cholecystitis. ___ PATHOLOGIC DIAGNOSIS: Liver, needle core biopsy: - Portal areas with moderate, predominantly mononuclear inflammation comprised of lymphocytes and macrophages along with focally prominent eosinophils. - Bile ducts with dystrophic change and intraductal lymphocytes. -Lobules with moderate lymphohistiocytic inflammation, including within sinusoids, and scattered eosinophils along with prominent apoptotic hepatocytes and focal canalicular cholestasis. -No features of toxic/metabolic injury (steatosis, ballooning degeneration) are seen prominently in this biopsy. -Trichrome stain demonstrates no increase in fibrosis. -Iron stain shows no stainable iron. -EBV in-situ and latent membrane protein immunostains are in progress and will be reported in a revised report. Note: Overall, the features of those of a moderately active hepatitis with associated cholestasis as well as bile duct damage. The differential diagnosis includes an acute viral hepatitis (negative serologies thus far with few pending results), a drug/supplement/toxin-related liver injury, or least likely given lack of prominent plasma cells and negative serologies, an autoimmune hepatitis. Clinical correlation with special consideration to the patient's medication (including herbals and OTC drugs) and ingestion history is recommended. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: LIVER OR GALLBLADDER US (SINGLE ORGAN) INDICATION: ___ with ___// eval for PVT, hepatic architecture TECHNIQUE: Grey scale and color Doppler ultrasound images of the abdomen were obtained.

Radiology Report EXAMINATION: Ultrasound-guided liver biopsy INDICATION: ___ year old previously healthy man with sudden onset nausea, anorexia, 10lb weight loss, jaundice, and pruritus. Labs notable to be stably elevated: ALT 1848, AST 903, Tbili 7.3, lipase 102. Hepatic steatosis was seen ___. Workup so far has been negative.// Etiology for acute hepatitis COMPARISON: Abdominal ultrasound from ___ PROCEDURE: Ultrasound-guided non-targeted liver biopsy. OPERATORS: Dr. ___, radiology trainee and Dr. ___, attending radiologist. Dr. ___ supervised the trainee during the key components of the procedure and reviewed and agrees with the trainee's findings. FINDINGS: Limited preprocedure grayscale and Doppler ultrasound imaging of the right hepatic lobe was performed and a suitable approach for non targeted liver biopsy was determined. The liver is diffusely echogenic. 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 7 mL 1% lidocaine. Under real-time ultrasound guidance, an 18 gauge core biopsy needle was then advanced into the liver and a single core biopsy sample was obtained and placed in formalin. The skin was then cleaned and a dry sterile dressing was applied. There was no immediate complications. SEDATION: Moderate sedation was provided by administering divided doses of 1 mg Versed and 50 mcg fentanyl throughout the total intra-service time of 15 minutes during which patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored by an independent trained radiology nurse.

Dear Mr. ___, You were admitted to ___ (___) due to your nausea, jaundice, and pruritus. Your labs showed that you had an acute hepatitis. We did an extensive laboratory workup to understand the cause of your hepatitis. Additionally, we performed a biopsy for which we will call your doctor with the results. While inpatient, we continued to monitor your progress and saw that you had a low neutrophil count (immune cells that help to fight infections). You had no signs of infection while in the hospital, but please follow-up with your primary care doctor about this issue. Please follow up with your outpatient providers and all your scheduled appointments. Thank you for allowing us to be involved in your care. Sincerely, Your ___ Care Team

Patient is followed very closely by Dr. ___ her history of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. She has multiple neurologic complaints and has been seen in the emergency room numerous times for variants of the above symptoms. Today, she reports waking up and feeling well at 6:30 AM. Around 730, she noticed gradual onset unsteadiness when walking around getting ready for work. She also noted vertiginous symptoms like things are moving around her. This has happened in the past so she took meclizine which did not help her symptoms. Her eyes "jumping around" and she felt confused, like she could not complete tasks. For example, she tried turning off the computer could not think of the steps in order to do it. She also felt like she had problems with her memory. She felt like her right hand was shaking and had difficulty typing, hitting a key she wanted to hit multiple times. Her symptoms continued to progress over the course in the morning though she was able to go to work. At some point, she noticed horizontal double vision and closed one eye and things improved. She did note that the vertiginous symptoms continued throughout the day, would worsen with head movement but still be present when standing still. Her last episode of vertigo was a few months ago. She does note that she tends to get vertiginous symptoms on days of dialysis. She was supposed to go to dialysis this afternoon, but instead she called her nephrologist reporting that her symptoms are unmanageable and she had to go to the emergency department. She was hospitalized last week for a vulvar infection, for which she was started on initially vancomycin and then levofloxacin. Otherwise there have been no new medications. Regarding her neurologic history, she is seen by somebody from neurology either inpatient or outpatient at least once every 2 months for various complaints. Most recently, she was evaluated by Dr. ___ on ___ for visual disturbances, headache and neck pain. The neck pain was felt to be musculoskeletal in origin and she was advised to wear a soft collar. It was thought that the neck pain was triggering her migraines. Given the history of images jumping around, the etiology of her visual disturbances was thought to be oscillopsia from an underlying vestibular disorder. Currently, patient feels "way off my baseline." On neuro ROS, the pt denies headache, loss of vision, dysarthria, dysphagia, tinnitus or hearing difficulty. Denies difficulties producing or comprehending speech. Denies focal weakness, numbness, parasthesiae. No bowel or bladder incontinence or retention. On general review of systems, the pt denies recent fever or chills.

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CTA HEAD AND CTA NECK Q16 CT NECK INDICATION: History: ___ with dizziness, vision changes. Evaluate for stroke. The patient has chronic renal failure on hemodialysis. 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 70 mL of Omnipaque350 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 5.0 s, 20.0 cm; CTDIvol = 46.7 mGy (Head) DLP = 934.2 mGy-cm. 2) Spiral Acquisition 4.8 s, 37.8 cm; CTDIvol = 11.4 mGy (Body) DLP = 430.0 mGy-cm. 3) Spiral Acquisition 5.0 s, 39.0 cm; CTDIvol = 11.4 mGy (Body) DLP = 442.6 mGy-cm. 4) Stationary Acquisition 3.0 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 15.2 mGy (Body) DLP = 7.6 mGy-cm. 5) Stationary Acquisition 6.6 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 33.0 mGy (Body) DLP = 16.5 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Body) = 897 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Head) = 934 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: ___ brain MRI. ___ head CT. ___ brain MRI/brain MRA/neck MRA. ___ chest CT. ___ neck CT. FINDINGS: CT HEAD WITHOUT CONTRAST: There is no acute hemorrhage, edema, mass effect, or CT evidence for an acute major vascular territorial infarction. Mild to moderate periventricular and deep white matter hypodensities are nonspecific but likely sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease in this age group. There is mild global parenchymal volume loss with associated prominence of the ventricles and sulci. There is an unchanged mucous retention cyst in the air right posterior ethmoid air cell on image 3:230. There is dependent polypoid material an bilateral sphenoid sinuses, which is unchanged on the left compared to ___, suggesting combination of mucous retention cysts and secretions, but shifted in location since ___ on the right, suggesting secretions. Thickening of the sphenoid sinus walls and sphenoid septum indicates sequela of chronic inflammation. There is near complete opacification of right mastoid air cells, unchanged since ___. Partial opacification of the right middle ear cavity was probably present previously, but is better seen currently due to thinner slices. Left mastoid air cells and left middle ear cavity appear well-aerated. CTA NECK: There is a 3 vessel aortic arch. There is calcified plaque in bilateral proximal subclavian arteries without evidence for significant narrowing. There is minimal calcified plaque in bilateral proximal internal carotid arteries without stenosis by NASCET criteria. Streak artifact from dental amalgam limits evaluation of mid to distal cervical internal carotid and distal cervical vertebral arteries bilaterally. Vertebral arteries otherwise demonstrate no evidence for flow-limiting stenosis. CTA HEAD: There is calcified plaque in bilateral carotid siphons without evidence for flow-limiting stenosis. There is no evidence for flow-limiting stenosis or aneurysm elsewhere in the major intracranial arteries. The dural venous sinuses are patent. OTHER: Small bilateral pleural effusions are partially visualized, new since the ___ chest CT. There is mild dependent atelectasis, mostly in the included superior segments of the lower lobes. Ground-glass opacities with perihilar predominance in the included upper lobes are suggestive of pulmonary edema, though infectious etiology is not excluded. Small peripheral ground-glass opacities in the anterior right lower lobe, 9 mm on image 4:1 and 10 mm on image 4:8, are new compared to the ___ chest CT; they are nonspecific and could be related to pulmonary edema or infection. 3.5 mm nodule in the right minor fissure on image 4:12 is unchanged compared to the prior chest CT. There is extensive mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy, as seen on the prior chest CT. Supraclavicular lymph nodes measure up to 8 mm in long axis on the right and 7 mm on the left (images 4:132, 4:139), not dramatically changed compared to the ___ neck CT. Cervical lymph nodes are prominent bilaterally, up to 15 mm at level 2a on the left (top-normal, image 4:167), 10 mm at level 2b on the left (top-normal, image 4:161), and 11 mm at level 5 on the left (minimally enlarged, image 4:165), minimally changed compared to the ___ neck CT. No focal thyroid lesions are detected. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence for acute intracranial abnormalities. 2. Chronic bilateral sphenoid sinusitis and chronic small mucous retention cyst in the right posterior ethmoid. Chronic near complete opacification of the right mastoid air cells and partial opacification of the right middle ear cavity. Please correlate with any associated active symptoms. 3. No evidence for flow-limiting stenosis in the cervical or major intracranial arteries. 4. Partially visualized small bilateral pleural effusions with adjacent atelectasis. Partially visualized ground-glass opacities with perihilar predominance in the upper lobes are suggestive of pulmonary edema, but infectious etiology is not excluded. Small peripheral ground-glass opacities in the anterior right lower lobe are nonspecific. These abnormalities are new compared to the ___ chest CT. 5. Extensive mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy is again partially visualized. Prominent supraclavicular and bilateral cervical lymph nodes are not significantly changed compared to the ___ neck CT. Etiology of lymphadenopathy cannot be determined on this exam. RECOMMENDATION(S): 1. MRI would be more sensitive for an acute infarction, if clinically warranted. 2. Consider follow-up chest CT in 3 months, if clinically warranted. NOTIFICATION: Impression items 1 and 3 were included in a wet read by a radiology resident at the time of the exam. The entire impression and recommendations above were entered by Dr. ___ on ___ at 15:04 into the Department of Radiology critical communications system for direct communication to the referring provider.

She has been on vanc/cipro/flagyl at home, followed by OPAT, with plan to hold chemotherapy until she is off antibiotics (scheduled to stop ___. On this admission, patient was very tired and refused to speak at length about her presentation. She noted that she was tired and wanted to go to sleep so would not speak in depth. She did however note that she had vomiting and no ostomy output at home, without any abdominal pain, so presented to ED. She noted that she felt slightly improved s/p NGT. She noted that sacral drain has not had significant output. She noted that she was without fever or chills. She noted that she had been tolerating her antibiotics without issue. In the ED, initial vitals: 98.1 103 123/84 18 100% RA. CBC with WBC 7.6, Hgb 9.5, plt 1215, CHEM with HCO# 19 lactate wnl, AP 384 other LFTS ok, Alb 2.8. Lower extremity duplex of left was negative for DVT. CT A/P revealed: 1. Small-bowel obstruction with transition point in ileal loops in the right lower quadrant. No evidence of perforation or ischemia. Small amount of free fluid. 2. Persistent dehiscence of the posterior rectal wall with slight interval decrease in associated presacral air and fluid collection containing a percutaneous drain. 3. Moderate to severe right-sided hydronephrosis and hydroureter which extends the level of the presacral collection. Degree of hydroureter appears similar compared to the previous exams. 4. Interval increase in size of pulmonary metastases. Change in the size of hepatic metastases is difficult to assess. 5. Small right greater than left pleural effusions. Colorectal surgery was consulted, NGT was placed with feculent material which came out. They noted that given malignant progression documented in pulm metastases, that obstruction was likely malignant and rec'd goals of care, medical management, with possible venting GTube if it didn't resolve. They noted that surgical mgmt would only further delay chemotherapy and therefore would not be useful to patient. She was then given morphine, Zofran, cipro, lovenox, Compazine and admitted to oncology. REVIEW OF SYSTEMS: A complete 10-point review of systems was performed and was negative unless otherwise noted in the HPI.

A 1.6 cm hypoenhancing lesion in the caudate lobe (02:22) and a 1.5 cm hypoenhancing lesion in segment 2 (02:20) as well as a 2.1 cm hypoenhancing lesion in segment 3 (02:31) are present on prior PET-CT, though size comparison is difficult given absence of contrast on that study. There is no evidence of intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary dilatation. The gallbladder is surgically absent. Small amount of perihepatic fluid is new in the interval. 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. Few calcifications within spleen are suggestive of prior granulomatous disease. ADRENALS: The right and left adrenal glands are normal in size and shape. URINARY: There is moderate to severe right-sided hydronephrosis and hydroureter which extends to the level of the presacral collection described below. Moderate right hydroureter is similar to that seen on prior CT pelvis. There is delayed nephrogram on the right side. No evidence of focal lesions. No perinephric abnormality. GASTROINTESTINAL: Small hiatal hernia. Stomach is otherwise unremarkable. Proximal small bowel loops are diffusely dilated and fluid-filled measuring up to 4.0 cm. There is transition to decompressed small bowel in ileal loops in the right hemipelvis (601:30) compatible with a small bowel obstruction. Loop ileostomy is noted in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen in a patient status post right colectomy. Loss of definition and enhancement of the posterior rectal wall is similar to prior exam and consistent with history of dehiscence. An adjacent curvilinear collection containing air and fluid in the presacral space is difficult to measure wall, but measures approximately 7.9 x 1.6 cm, and appears slightly decreased in size compared to the prior exam. A right gluteal approach terminates in unchanged position in this collection. There is trace mesenteric free-fluid. PELVIS: The urinary bladder and distal ureters are unremarkable. REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS: The uterus is not visualized. There is no adnexal abnormalities. LYMPH NODES: There is no retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymphadenopathy. There is no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. VASCULAR: There is no abdominal aortic aneurysm. Moderate atherosclerotic disease is noted. IVC filter is noted in place. BONES: There is no evidence of worrisome osseous lesions or acute fracture. Sacroplasty material is noted. SOFT TISSUES: Right lower quadrant loop ileostomy is noted. There is mild diffuse subcutaneous edema. IMPRESSION: 1. Small-bowel obstruction with transition point in ileal loops in the right lower quadrant. No evidence of perforation or ischemia. Small amount of free fluid. 2. Persistent dehiscence of the posterior rectal wall with slight interval decrease in associated presacral air and fluid collection containing a percutaneous drain. 3. Moderate to severe right-sided hydronephrosis and hydroureter which extends the level of the presacral collection. Degree of hydroureter appears similar compared to the previous exams. 4. Interval increase in size of pulmonary metastases. Change in the size of hepatic metastases is difficult to assess. 5. Small right greater than left pleural effusions.

Dear Ms. ___, It was a pleasure taking care of you in the hospital. You were admitted with chest pain due to a pulmonary embolus which originated from a vein in your leg. You were started on a heparin drip with the plan to transition to warfarin as an outpatient. Because it will not be therapeutic for a few days, you will need to take lovenox for a short period of time as a bridge. During your admission, you did not have shortness of breath, fever or evidence of heart damage. This is your second pulmonary embolus occurring in the post-operative period, which may indicate that you need a longer course of warfarin. Please follow up with a hematologist to discuss further.

Name: ___ Unit No: ___ Admission Date: ___ Discharge Date: ___ Date of Birth: ___ Sex: F Service: MEDICINE Allergies: Keflex Attending: ___. Chief Complaint: Dyspnea Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: None History of Present Illness: ___ year old female with diastolic dysfunction and COPD presenting with 1 week of dyspnea that acutely worsened today with associated mild swelling in the legs and generalized fatigue. On arrival to the ED the patient triggered for room air sat of 80% and became intermittently somnolent with noted bilateral crackles on exam. Given concern for somnolence ABG was obtained with pH 7.21/PCO2 85/PaO292/HCO3 36 with hypercapnea for which BIPAP was started. Initial concern for CHF exacerbation for which cardiology was consulted though ultimately determined that patient had a mixed picture and so recommended admission to the MICU. Per report patient has been exposed to sick contacts in her family with viral illness. Additionally patient noted to have fever to 100.4. In the ED initial vitals showed temp 97.9, HR 79, BP 125/41, RR 21. In the ED the patient was given 1000 mg IV vanco and levofloxacin. Labs in the ED were notable for WBC 10.0, Hg 12.4, Hct 41.6, platelets 213. Chem-7 notable for Na 134, K 5.0, Cl 95, bicarb 29, BUN 103, Cr 1.6, glucose 140. Trop elevated to 0.12 repeat 0.10. BNP 30788. EKG showed T wave inversions. UA negative for signs/symptoms of infection. In the ED the patient was evaluated by cardiology who felt patient's picture was mixed and not consistent with CHF exacerbation alone. For this reason it was determined that she should be admitted to the MICU team. On transfer, vitals were: Temp 99.9, BP 104/65, HR 72, RR 25, 98% RA On arrival to the MICU, the patient has BIPAP in place. She is able to nod yes/no to some questions though exam and interview is limited by BIPAP and patient's hearing impairment. The patient denies chest pain, fever, diarrhea, nasuea, or vomitting. Per discussion with her children the family notes that the patient has had ongoing dyspnea for 1 week after vacation in ___ and was exposed to grandchildren who were febrile reportedly. Per report she has not had any infectious symptoms as a result including fever, chills, cough, or wheezing. Per report mid-week her mental status declined at about the same time when she had reported worsening lower extremity pain and started taking higher doses of tramadol up to 200 mg three times per day. She additionally had a fall forward onto her knees while being moved out of a chair today and did not have a head strike. This entire episode was witnessed by her family.

Per ED and SW notes: According to his wife, the patient fell last night while walking to the door when he tripped and fell to the right. He was on the floor for 13 hours before EMS was called; per wife he is stubborn and she thought he could get up. SW was involved in the ED and called Elder Protective services as his wife appeared confused. Daughter also lives at home. In the ED pt deined LOC, cp/sob, f/c/s, presyncope, but was feeling weak prior to fall. When EMS arrived he was prone in the bedroom, cool, confused, slow to answer questions, FSG was 467. Per wife has had multiple falls recently but usually gets up. In the ED, initial VS were T: 97.9, HR: 100, BP: 116/79, RR: 14, O2%: 94%, FSBG: 402. Exam was notable for abrasions on the bilateral knees and R elbow. He also had a normal rectal tone initially with guaiac negative stools. Had maroon colored emesis in the ED and guaiac positive one hour after arrival, NG tube placed. KUB shot, read pending, per report not c/w obstruction. Labs: BUN 88 and creatinine of 3.0 (unknown baseline), CK of 1808, Trop-T of 0.04, WBC of 18.4 (86%N), and lactate of 3.2. Glu 513. Ca ___ alb 3.8. Repeat lactate 2.4. Urine >186 Wbc's, mod bacteria, no epis. CXR without acute cardiopulmonary processes or signs of infection. C-spine showed no evidence of acute fracture or prevertebral soft tissue abnormality. CT head showed no acute hemorrhage or fracture. GI was consulted in the ED for occult positive gastric contents on NG lavage and maroon vomitus, they recommended 40mg bid po ppi. Patient received 3L of NS, 40 mg of IV pantoprazole, 8 units of insulin (regular), ceftriaxone Transfer VS were Today 19:27 0 98.2 104 135/83 23 95% RA FSBG: 499. On arrival to the floor, patient says he feels well in spite of everything that's happened. After arrival to floor, ED resident paged that NG tube needed to be advanced. Tip was not clearly visible on CXR but it was at 60cm with some dark material present in tube. Given no recent vomiting and likelihood that it was coiled, it was removed.

The patient initially presented on ___ ___. She had awoken that morning with severe numbness below the knees bilaterally. Her legs were weak and she collapsed on attempting to stand. She had a recent stomach flu a few days prior. Examination demonstrated distal lower extremity weakness and decreased sensation to pin and vibration, with diminished lower extremity reflexes. There was concern for GBS. CSF was normal (0 cells, glucose 59, protein 24, neg CSF Lyme, neg bands). However it was thought there was still benefit to treating empirically, so patient received 3 doses IVIG. She developed fever to ___ F after 3rd dose so no more were given. She also underwent MRI C, T and L spine, and MRI/A brain which were all unrevealing. Labs were initially notable for CK almost 20K, attributed to fall, but this was mild and there was not prolonged down time. CRP 50, ESR 16, WBC 18.3. CK trended down with IVF and has been normal on repeat checks since. The pt was discharged to rehab and was then discharged home with ___. Neurologic work-up continued as an outpatient under care of Dr. ___. EMG ___ showed acute length dependent polyneuropathy with mixed axonal and demyelinating features. Motor neuropathy and paraneoplastic Abs sent to ___ were negative (GM1, GD1b, MAG, ___, CV2, amiphiphysin). Autoimmune labs neg ___, ANCA, SSa/b). On ___, CRP was down to 25, ESR 12. The patient complains of severe pain, that was not part of the initial presentation but began after returning home from rehab and doing ___. It has become more severe and refractory to medications in the past month. Pain includes R foot cramps, sharp pains at L posterior calf and feet, burning pain on soles of feet, hypersensitivity to touch that is painful on L foot.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report CHEST, TWO VIEWS: ___ HISTORY: ___ female with elevated white blood cell count. Question pneumonia. FINDINGS: PA and lateral views of the chest. No prior. Small calcified granulomas are identified at the upper lungs, more numerous on the right than on the left. The lungs are otherwise clear without consolidation or effusion. The cardiomediastinal silhouette is normal. Osseous and soft tissue structures are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: No acute cardiopulmonary process. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ female with polyradiculopathy, fevers and weight loss, here to evaluate for occult malignancy. COMPARISON: No prior studies available. TECHNIQUE: MDCT-acquired axial images were obtained from the thoracic inlet to the pubic symphysis following the uneventful administration of 100 cc Omnipaque intravenous contrast and oral contrast per oncology protocol. Coronally and sagittally reformatted images were generated and reviewed. DLP: 708 mGy-cm FINDINGS: The thyroid gland is unremarkable. No axillary, hilar, or supraclavicular lymphadenopathy is seen. Several prominent paratracheal lymph nodes measuring up to 9 mm in short axis are noted. The pulmonary arterial trunk is patent and normal in caliber. The thoracic aorta is also normal in caliber without evidence of acute aortic syndrome. There is a normal three-vessel takeoff from the aortic arch. The heart is normal in size without pericardial effusion. The esophagus is normal in appearance with a small amount of oral contrast retained in the mid-to-lower esophagus. The central tracheobronchial tree is patent to subsegmental levels. Within the pulmonary parenchyma, there are centrilobular emphysematous changes predominantly affecting the lung apices. Bibasilar atelectasis is noted. There are no pleural effusions, focal consolidations or pneumothoraces. Innumerable sub-2-mm pulmonary nodules are present bilaterally with a random distribution, but predominantly located in the right lung, some of which are calcified (for example, 3:9, 10, 22, 26, 29). No other pulmonary nodules or masses are seen. CT ABDOMEN WITH CONTRAST: The liver enhances homogeneously without perfusion defect. A focal 5-mm hypodensity is noted in the right lobe of the liver (3:47), which is too small to fully characterize by CT. No other focal liver lesion is detected. The portal venous system opacifies satisfactorily with intravenous contrast. There is mild-to-moderate central intrahepatic biliary dilatation and extrahepatic biliary dilatation with the common bile duct measuring up to 11 mm within the head of the pancreas. There is an abrupt termination of the CBD at the pancreatic head with no calcified gallstones seen. There is associated thickened appearance of the duodenum at the ampulla concerning for underlying malignancy (3:68). The gallbladder is contracted with a thick enhancing wall. The pancreatic parenchyma enhances normally, with mild atrophy of the gland noted. The spleen, bilateral adrenal glands and kidneys are unremarkable. Two splenules are incidentally noted at the splenic hilum. The stomach and duodenal bulb are distended. The intra-abdominal loops of small and large bowel are unremarkable without evidence of wall thickening or obstruction. The appendix is normal in appearance. No free air or ascites is present. There is no retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymphadenopathy. The abdominal aorta is normal in caliber with minimal calcified atherosclerosis of the distal abdominal aorta extending into the bilateral common iliac arteries proximally. CT PELVIS WITH CONTRAST: The urinary bladder, prostate, seminal vesicles, rectum, and sigmoid colon are unremarkable. There is no free pelvic fluid or inguinal/pelvic lymphadenopathy. OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: Intervertebral disc spacers are noted at the L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels. A small sclerotic area in the left paramedian sacrum (3:86) may represent a bone island. There is deformity at the right posterior superior iliac spine at the right SI joint (3:87). IMPRESSION: 1. Innumerable bilateral sub-2mm pulmonary nodules some of which are calcified and shotty mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Differential includes tuberculosis/fungal infection/sarcoidosis or less likely hematogenous mets with calcification, ie osteogenic, mucinous, thyroid, breast origin. Calcification suggests a chronic granulomatous infection (TB) should be considered. Comparison with any old CT imaging is recommended. 2. Dilated CBD measuring up to 11-mm which abruptly terminates at the pancreatic head with no stone seen. Possible thickening of the duodenum at the ampulla is suspicious for malignancy. Followup ERCP/MRCP is strongly recommended. 3. 5mm indeterminate hepatic hypodensity. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ woman with diffuse weakness involving multiple motor and sensory nerves.

Dear Mr. ___, You were admitted to the hospital because you were having chest pain and the CAT scan of your chest showed a mass. WHAT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL? - You were treated with antibiotics, because the mass in your lung is most likely an infection/abscess. - You were evaluated by the infectious disease team, who recommended a long course of antibiotics. - You were evaluated by the thoracic surgeons and interventional pulmonologists (lung specialists). They did not recommend biopsy or other procedures at this time because they felt the antibiotics alone should treat the infection. - You had an echo (an ultrasound of your heart) and an ultrasound of the veins in your neck. There was no evidence that the infection in your lungs had spread to those areas. - You had a PICC line placed so that you could get IV antibiotics at home. - Your blood tests showed some kidney injury. This may be from one of the antibiotics you got in the hospital. You will be taking a different antibiotic at home. Your primary care doctor ___ continue to monitor this to ensure it improves. WHAT SHOULD I DO WHEN I GO HOME? - You will need to complete at least 4 weeks of IV antibiotics. The infectious disease doctors ___ be in touch with you regarding the exact duration. - ***You will need to get blood tests each week while on antibiotics, starting on ___. *** This is to monitor for side effects. - Please keep all your follow up appointments as listed below. - You will see the infectious disease, interventional pulmonology, and thoracic surgery doctors as ___ outpatient. - You will get a repeat CAT scan of your chest in ___ as listed below to make sure the mass in your lungs improved with antibiotics. If the mass is still there, you will likely need additional testing and treatment. - It is very important not to drink alcohol or use any other recreational drugs while you are on antibiotics. WHEN SHOULD I COME BACK TO THE HOSPITAL? - If you have fevers/chills, chest pain, difficulty breathing, nausea/vomiting. - If you have pain, redness, swelling around your PICC line. It was a pleasure caring for you, and we wish you all the best. Sincerely, Your ___ team

Dear Ms. ___, You were admitted to the hospital because you had an episode of unresponsiveness at your extended care facility. We did several studies including an EEG, a CT of your head, and blood work and did not see any concerning cause of this episode. We believe it may have been caused by a medication recently started called olanzapine (Zyprexa). We stopped this medication and you had no more episodes. We did have one blood culture grow some bacteria, and we started you on antibiotics. However, after further review, it appears the baceteria was contamination from your skin and you do not need to be on antiobiotics. Please note the following changes to your medications: INCREASE Coumadin (Warfarin) to 2.5 mg daily or as otherwise directed CONTINUE Heparin 5000 units SC until INR>2.0 STOP Olanzapine (Zyprexa) STOP Artificial tears No other changes were made to your medications. Please weigh yourself every morning, and call your MD if weight goes up more than 3 lbs. It has been a pleasure taking care of you.

Dear Mr. ___, You were hospitalized due to symptoms of trouble speaking, word 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. Your risk factors are: Diabetes Hypertension Heart disease You were also noted to have had a minor heart attack this admission or NSTEMI. You were on a blood thinner for this and were seen by the cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons. You will see ___ as an outpatient and will follow-up with We are changing your medications as follows: - Starting Apixiban 5mg twice daily (this is a blood thinner, please take it every day) - Start Metoprolol - Increased Valsartan (blood pressure medication) - Stop atenolol 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 Sincerely, Your ___ Neurology Team

A soft tissue defect is present along the plantar aspect subjacent to the first metatarsophalangeal joint region. A linear opacity overlying the third toe proximal phalanx is not significantly changed in appearance, likely a foreign body within the soft tissues. Degenerative changes are again seen throughout the midfoot. Superior and inferior calcaneal enthesophytes are again noted. Vascular calcifications are redemonstrated. Surgical clips are seen along the medial aspect of the distal tibia, as before. IMPRESSION: 1. Post-surgical changes involving the left first metatarsal head. Although post-operative radiographs since the last debridement are not available, indistinct bony borders, fragmentation, and focal demineralization are concerning for osteomyelitis. A large plantar soft tissue defect is depicted on the lateral view. 2.

Radiology Report MRI LEFT FOOT: CLINICAL INDICATION: ___ man with history of diabetic foot ulcer status post prior left first metatarsal head resection. Patient with worsening redness, drainage, concerning for underlying osteomyelitis. TECHNIQUE: Multiaxial, multiplanar MRI of the left foot was obtained without and with administration of intravenous contrast material. Comparison is made to radiograph dated ___. FINDINGS: Partial amputation of the first metatarsal head is noted, with marked edema involving the residual metatarsal bone, with sparing at the base, as well as edema in the base of the first proximal phalanx. Subtle indistinctness of lateral first proximal phalanx base articular surface. Skin and soft tissue defect along the plantar aspect of the first metatarsal-phalangeal joint extending into the surgical bed of prior metatarsal head surgery. Large amount of granulation tissue/phlegmon situated between first metatarsal and proximal phalanx. No drainable fluid collections are identified. Susceptibility artifact reflecting prior surgery. Following administration of contrast, there is enhancement in the first metatarsal and base of the proximal phalanx. Edema and enhancement is also seen involving the muscles of the fore- and mid foot, likely due to the diabetic denervation injury. Old amputation of the fifth toe is noted, without evidence of edema or osteomyelitis. Limited evaluation of the extensor and flexor tendons of the foot, as well as the peroneal tendons demonstrated no significant abnormality. Susceptibility artiface overlies third proximal phalanx and may represent a foreign body or post-surgical change and should be correlated. IMPRESSION: Osteomyelitis of the first metatarsal as well as the base of the first proximal phalanx. Inflammation of the soft tissues surrounding the amputated metatarsal head as described above, with associated skin ulcer along the plantar aspect- of the foot.

IMAGING ======== ___ RUE U/S IMPRESSION: No evidence of deep vein thrombosis in the right upper extremity. ___ CXR IMPRESSION: Comparison to ___. In the interval, the patient has developed moderate pulmonary edema. The size of the cardiac silhouette is enlarged and there are signs of basal apical blood flow redistribution. In addition, the lateral radiograph shows signs of fissure oral fluid marking. Larger pleural effusions are not present. No evidence of pneumonia. No suspicious nodules or masses. ___ MR SHOULDER WITHOUT CONTRAST IMPRESSION: 1. The study is significantly degraded by patient motion. 2. Large complex glenohumeral joint effusion with intermediate/low T2 signal and subtle high T1 signal, significantly increased since ___, increased laxity of the glenohumeral joint, increased bone marrow edema in the proximal humerus, and new soft tissue edema about the shoulder. The differential includes some degree of hemorrhagic and/or proteinaceous content within the glenohumeral joint. Although the appearance is non-specific, glenohumeral joint infection should be excluded. A severe noninfectious inflammatory process of this extent would be unusual, but might also account for this appearance. 3. The significance of subtle cortical effacement about the glenoid, progressed slightly compared with ___, is dependent on the presence or absence of infection within the joint. Otherwise, no bone erosion detected. 4. Severe end-stage osteoarthritis of the glenohumeral joint with essentially complete loss of hyaline cartilage and of the glenoid labrum, similar to ___. 5. Severe tendinosis of the supraspinatus and subscapularis tendons with tendon attenuation and partial thickness tearing. The distal ubscapularis may be expanded by complex fluid within the tendon. Supraspinatus tendon is probably fenestrated, with intrasubstance tearing. These changes have both progressed considerably compared with ___. 6. Severe tenosynovitis and tendinosis of the biceps tendon. 7. Moderate subacromial subdeltoid bursitis. Fluid in the SA/SD bursa is much simpler than fluid seen within the joint. ___ MR ELBOW WITHOUT CONTRAST IMPRESSION: Trace elbow joint effusion. Marked dense and extensive subcutaneous edema.

In the interval, the patient has developed moderate pulmonary edema. The size of the cardiac silhouette is enlarged and there are signs of basal apical blood flow redistribution. In addition, the lateral radiograph shows signs of fissure oral fluid marking. Larger pleural effusions are not present. No evidence of pneumonia. No suspicious nodules or masses. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: UNILAT UP EXT VEINS US RIGHT INDICATION: ___ with right arm swelling, evaluate for DVT or signs of chest mass TECHNIQUE: Grey scale and Doppler evaluation was performed on the right upper extremity veins. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: There is normal flow with respiratory variation in the bilateral subclavian veins. The right internal jugular and axillary veins are patent, show normal color flow and compressibility. The right brachial, basilic, and cephalic veins are patent, compressible and show normal color flow and augmentation. IMPRESSION: No evidence of deep vein thrombosis in the right upper extremity. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MR ELBOW ___ CONTRAST RIGHT INDICATION: ___ year old woman with R shoulder pain, swelling and limited motion // R elbow effusion TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar multi sequence MRI of the right elbow performed on a 1.5 tesla magnet without IV contrast with the following sequences: Axial and coronal T1, axial and coronal T2 with fat sat, sagittal proton density with fat sat, sagittal T2, and coronal gradient echo. Motion suppression blade images were also attempted. COMPARISON: None available FINDINGS: The study is moderately degraded by patient motion. This exam was tailored to evaluation of Bone marrow signal: Within normal limits. No bone marrow edema detected to suggest contusion, fracture, or focal bone lesion. Joint effusion: Trace Radio-capitellar joint: Congruent. No gross osteoarthritis. Ulnar-trochlear joint: Congruent. No gross osteoarthritis. Radial collateral ligament: Grossly intact Ulnar collateral ligament: Grossly intact Lateral ulnar collateral ligament: Grossly intact. Common extensor tendon: Grossly normal. Common flexor tendon: Grossly normal Biceps tendon: Within normal limits. Brachialis tendon: Within normal limits. Triceps tendon:Within normal limits. Muscles: Muscle mass is grossly preserved, without muscle edema. Radio-bicipital bursa: No significant fluid. Olecranon bursa: No significant fluid. Cubital tunnel: No mass detected within the cubital tunnel. Assessment of the ulnar nerve is limited, but grossly unremarkable. There is profuse subcutaneous interstitial edema. Allowing for the absence of IV contrast, no focal fluid collection or mass is detected. Note is made of prominent subcutaneous vessels, with signal void suggestive of high flow. IMPRESSION: Trace elbow joint effusion. Marked dense and extensive subcutaneous edema. No bone marrow edema or bony erosion is detected. Ligaments, tendons and muscles are grossly unremarkable. Note made of prominent high-flow vessels in the subcutaneous soft tissues. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MR SHOULDER ___ CONTRAST RIGHT INDICATION: ___ year old woman with R shoulder pain, swelling and limited motion // concern for septic arthritis effusions TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar multi sequence MRI of the right shoulder without IV contrast on a 1.5 Tesla magnet with the following sequences, sagittal T1, axial proton density with fat sat, coronal sagittal T2 BLADE with fat sat. COMPARISON: MR shoulder ___. Radiographs of the right shoulder ___. FINDINGS: The study is degraded by patient motion. There is marked soft tissue edema about the shoulder, including subcutaneous soft tissue edema and areas of intramuscular edema particularly about the scapula. . Acromio-clavicular joint: Mild degenerative change. Subacromial-subdeltoid bursa: Moderate effusion. Fluid in the subacromial/subdeltoid bursa appears relatively high T2 signal and simple. Supraspinatus tendon: The fibers of the supraspinatus tendon are severally attenuated and redundant with elevated signal (08:15). Intact fibers are present, though areas of intrasubstance partial tearing administration are likely present. Infraspinatus tendon: Grossly intact Teres minor tendon: Grossly intact Subscapularis tendon: Severely attenuated and redundant with increased signal (07:20) compatible with severe tendinosis. Alternatively, the outer in inner fibers of the subscapularis tendon may be separated in distended by fluid from the biceps tendon sheath/glenohumeral joint. Glenohumeral joint: The joint is distended with large complex intermediate signal fluid significantly increased since ___. Of note, this material is heterogeneously low signal on the fluid sensitive images, with subtle areas of increased signal on the T1 weighted images. The labrum is extensively markedly diminutive. No normal labrum is identified. There is full-thickness cartilage loss of both the humeral head and glenoid. There are subchondral cystic changes in the glenoid, which appears to progressed compared with ___ (08:16). There is no definite bony erosion. Of note, the glenohumeral joint is widened compared with ___. Biceps tendon: The biceps tendon is appropriately positioned within the intertubercular groove. A large amount of complex intermediate/low T2 signal fluid surrounds the intertubercular portion of the biceps tendon (07:19). The intra-articular portion of the biceps tendon is attenuated with increased signal. The biceps labral anchor is severely diminutive (08:16). Muscles: Probable mild atrophy of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus and subscapularis muscles, though this is difficult to assess due to displacement by the large glenohumeral joint effusion and extension of edema into the musculature surrounding the scapula. Background muscle mass appears grossly preserved. Bone marrow: There is extensive heterogeneous bone marrow edema in the visualized portions of the proximal humerus. This is more pronounced than the periarticular edema seen about the glenohumeral joint on ___. . However, on the sagittal T1 weighted images, most of this remains hyperintense compared to muscle, which is more suggestive of red marrow. IMPRESSION: 1. The study is significantly degraded by patient motion. 2. Large complex glenohumeral joint effusion with intermediate/low T2 signal and subtle high T1 signal, significantly increased since ___, increased laxity of the glenohumeral joint, increased bone marrow edema in the proximal humerus, and new soft tissue edema about the shoulder. The differential includes some degree of hemorrhagic and/or proteinaceous content within the glenohumeral joint. Although the appearance is non-specific, glenohumeral joint infection should be excluded. A severe noninfectious inflammatory process of this extent would be unusual, but might also account for this appearance. 3. The significance of subtle cortical effacement about the glenoid, progressed slightly compared with ___, is dependent on the presence or absence of infection within the joint. Otherwise, no bone erosion detected. 4. Severe end-stage osteoarthritis of the glenohumeral joint with essentially complete loss of hyaline cartilage and of the glenoid labrum, similar to ___. 5. Severe tendinosis of the supraspinatus and subscapularis tendons with tendon attenuation and partial thickness tearing. The distal subscapularis may be expanded by complex fluid within the tendon. Supraspinatus tendon is probably fenestrated, with intrasubstance tearing. These changes have both progressed considerably compared with ___. . 6. Severe tenosynovitis and tendinosis of the biceps tendon. 7. Moderate subacromial subdeltoid bursitis. Fluid in the SA/SD bursa is much simpler than fluid seen within the joint. NOTIFICATION: At the time of this dictation the primary team is aware of the patient's joint effusion and concern for infection. Imaging guided arthrocentesis is planned. Radiology Report Study arterial duplex upper extremity Reason pain Findings. The right subclavian, axillary, brachial, radial and ulnar arteries are patent with normal waveforms and velocities. Impression patent right upper extremity arterial system Radiology Report EXAMINATION: INJ/ASP MAJOR JT W/FLUORO INDICATION: ___ year old woman with right shoulder pain and swelling // please perform right shoulder arthrocentesis COMPARISON: MRI ___ PROCEDURE: The risks, benefits, and alternatives were explained to the patient and written informed consent obtained. It was noted that the patient is taking baby aspirin and has a higher risk of bleeding as well as bruising. A pre-procedure timeout confirmed three patient identifiers. Under fluoroscopic guidance, an appropriate spot was marked. The area was prepared and draped in standard sterile fashion. 10 cc 1% Lidocaine was used to achieve local anesthesia. Under intermittent fluoroscopic guidance, a 20-gauge spinal needle was advanced into the right glenohumeral joint. Appropriate position was confirmed by the injection of a small amount of water soluble contrast. 8 cc of bloody fluid was aspirated. The needle was removed, hemostasis achieved, and a sterile bandage applied. The patient tolerated the procedure well and left the department in stable condition. There were no immediate complications or complaints. FINDINGS: Nodular appearance at the joint space upon injection may be secondary to synovitis. IMPRESSION: 1. Imaging Findings - nodular synovium in the secondary to synovitis. 2. Procedure - Technically successful aspiration of the right glenohumeral joint. Requested laboratory examinations are pending. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST PORT. LINE PLACEMENT INDICATION: ___ with a history of ESRD ___ FSGS s/p LRRT ___, on prograft/cellcept/prednisone, now with chronic scarring and CKD IV, CAD (s/p DES to LAD), with right shoulder presumed septic arthritis, RUE swelling, found to have severe hyponatremia and hyperkalemia and ICU monitoring course c/b afib with RVR (now in NSR), now on abx for septic arthritis and receiving electrolyte management. // Eval placement of L CVL Contact name: J.A. ___: ___ placement of L CVL IMPRESSION: Comparison to ___.

Decrease in severity of the pre-existing pulmonary edema. Stable appearance of the cardiac silhouette. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT CHEST W/O CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ year old woman with CKD s/p renal transplant, new ___ edema, asymptomatic hyponatremia. // concern for siADH due to chest malignancy vs. lymph obstructing process TECHNIQUE: Volumetric CT acquisitions over the entire thorax in inspiration, no administration of intravenous contrast material, multiplanar reconstructions. DOSE: DLP: 167 mGy-cm COMPARISON: No comparison. FINDINGS: Given the lack of contrast material, the question of potential vascular obstruction cannot be addressed. Mild adenopathy in the axillary regions. The patient is asymmetrically positioned within the scanner. Severe aortic wall calcifications. Moderate to severe dilatation of the main pulmonary artery, indicative of pulmonary hypertension. Severe coronary calcifications, mild to moderate aortic valve calcifications, mild mitral valve calcifications, no pericardial effusion. Mild cardiomegaly. The posterior mediastinum is unremarkable. Diffuse calcifications in the left upper quadrant, combined to perisplenic and perihepatic acites. Minimal degenerative vertebral disease. No vertebral compression fractures. No osteolytic lesions at the level of the ribs, the sternum, or the vertebral bodies. The lung parenchyma shows, in relatively diffuse manner, stones of increased ground-glass like opacities located both in the periphery and in the central parts of the lung. These opacities are not associated with interstitial changes. Simultaneously, the diameter of the vascular structures is markedly dilated. The airways are patent. A small effusion is present on the left. The only other abnormality is as scar in the lingula as well as an atelectasis in the left upper lobe, at the level of the lateral portion of the aortic arch. IMPRESSION: Diffuse ground-glass opacities, combined to small left pleural effusion, likely reflect infection. The absence of an interstitial component. Is not consistent with pulmonary edema. Small pleural effusion. Signs of pulmonary hypertension. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST (PA AND LAT) INDICATION: ___ year old woman with ESRD (s/p LRRT), with CKD-IV, here with R shoulder septic arthritis.

* You were admitted to ___ for treatment of a pneumothorax. A chest tube was placed at ___ and you were transferred to ___ for further management. There is a persistent air leak from your lung which will need time to heal and seal over. Your chest xray shows full expansion of the lung which is good. You are ready to go home, but still need your chest tube. A small device, called an Atrium Pneumostat, has been placed on the end of your chest tube to help you get better. The ___ will help you manage this device. * Your oxygen has been reordered for you and you should wear it at ___ LPM as you were doing at home. * If you have any increased shortness of breath, fevers > 101 or any new concerns call Dr. ___ at ___. About The Atrium Pneumostat: The Atrium Pneumostat is made to allow air and a little fluid to escape from your chest until your lung heals. The device will hold 30ml of fluid. Empty the device as often as needed (see directions below) and keep track of how much you empty each day. Items Needed for Home Use: • Atrium Pneumostat Chest Drain Valve (provided by hospital) • ___ syringes to empty drainage, if needed (provided by hospital or ___ Nurse) • Wound dressings (provided by hospital or ___ Nurse) Securing the Pneumostat: Utilize the pre-attached garment clip to secure the Pneumostat to your clothes. It is small and light enough that you won't even feel it hanging at your side. Make sure to keep the Pneumostat in an upright position as much as possible. Before lying down to sleep or rest, empty the Pneumostat so there will be no fluid to potentially leak out. Wound Dressing: You have a dressing around your chest tube. This should be changed at least every other day or as prescribed by your doctor. Showering/Bathing: Showering with a chest tube is all right as long as you don't submerge the tube or device in water. Place the pneumostat in a zip lock bag for showering then remove. No baths, swimming, or hot tubs. Note: This device is very important and the tubing must stay attached to the end of your chest tube. • If it falls off, reconnect it immediately and tape it securely. • If it falls off and you can't get it back together, go to the closest hospital emergency room. Warnings: 1. Do not obstruct the air leak well. 2. Do not clamp the patient tube during use. 3. Do not use or puncture the needleless ___ port with a needle. 4. Do not leave a syringe attached to the needleless ___ port. 5. Do not connect any ___ connector to the needleless ___ port located on the bottom of the chest drain valve. 6. If at any time you have concerns or questions, contact your nurse or physician. Emptying the Pneumostat • Keep the Pneumostat in an upright position and make sure the tubing stays firmly attached to the end of your chest tube. Make sure the Pneumostat stays clean and dry. Do not allow the Pneumostat to completely fill with fluid or it may start to leak out. If fluid does leak out, clean off the Pneumostat and use a Q-tip to dry out the valve. • If the Pneumostat becomes full with fluid, empty it using a ___ syringe. Firmly screw the ___ onto the port located on the bottom of the Pneumostat. • Pull the plunger back on the syringe to empty the fluid. When the syringe is full, unscrew the syringe and empty the fluid into the nearest suitable receptacle. Repeat as necessary. If it becomes difficult to empty the fluid using a syringe, squirt water through the port to flush out the blockage or consult your nurse or physician. The Pneumostat may need to be changed out.

Dear Ms. ___, Thank you for choosing to get your care at ___! You were admitted with anemia ("low blood counts") and dark stools, which were concerning for GI bleeding. The GI specialists were consulted and perfermed endoscopic studies including an EGD and a colonoscopy. Your EGD was unrevealing, and the colonoscopy showed some possible sources of bleeding but no active bleeds. A capsule study was performed but was incomplete because the capsule never left your stomach. This test can be performed again outside the hospital. You have a scheduled ___ appointment with the GI doctors to discuss this further. During your hospitalization, you were found to be having some problems with the amount of water in your body because of your Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). This had caused some problems with your breathing as is typical for this condition. You were treated with diuretics to remove the extra water. As we did this, your breathing was better and your kidney function improved. You will be discharged on a new dose of the diuretic furosemide. You should follow up with your cardiologist as an outpatient to make sure this is the right dose for you. In the meantime, you should weigh yourself every morning and call your doctor if weight goes up more than 3 lbs. Also let your doctor know if you are having difficulty breathing, especially when you are lying down or in the middle of the night. You were not treated for your polycythemia ___ during this hospitalization because your blood counts were low and Dr. ___ ___ already been holding your hydroxyurea. You have a follow up appointment with your hematologists scheduled, at which point you can discuss this further. We wish you the best of future health! Sincerely, Your ___ care team

CXR: ___ FINDINGS: The patient is status post median sternotomy and mitral valve replacement. The cardiac silhouette is moderate to severely enlarged but unchanged. The mediastinal contours are stable with continued dilatation of the azygos vein. There is mild pulmonary edema, slightly improved compared to the previous exam. No pleural effusion or pneumothorax is clearly identified. There are no acute osseous abnormalities. . IMPRESSION: Mild congestive heart failure. . TTE: ___ The left atrium is moderately dilated. The right atrium is moderately dilated. Left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. The left ventricular cavity is unusually small. Overall left ventricular systolic function is mildly depressed (LVEF= 40%) secondary to markedly abnormal systolic septal motion/position (the latter consistent with right ventricular pressure overload) . The right ventricular cavity is markedly dilated with severe global free wall hypokinesis. The number of aortic valve leaflets cannot be determined. There is no aortic valve stenosis. Trace aortic regurgitation is seen. A bioprosthetic mitral valve prosthesis is present. The prosthetic mitral valve leaflets are thickened. Motion of the mitral annulus is abnormal and suggestive of partial dehiscence. The gradients are higher than expected for this type of prosthesis. Moderate (2+) mitral regurgitation is seen. Moderate [2+] tricuspid regurgitation is seen. There is severe pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. The end-diastolic pulmonic regurgitation velocity is increased suggesting pulmonary artery diastolic hypertension. There is a trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion. Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of ___, gradients across the mitral valve bioprosthesis and the degree of mitral regurgitation are similar (severely increased). Again slight abnormal motion of the mitral prosthesis is noted in the absence of a paravalvular leak. The right ventricle appears now severely dilated with worse systolic function and worse functional tricuspid regurgitation. Pulmonary pressures are higher.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W AND W/O CONTRAST T___ MR HEAD INDICATION: ___ yo M hx left occipital craniotomy for mass resection discharged ___ presents with fever and AMS// ? abscess. Please perform with DWI sequences as well TECHNIQUE: Sagittal and axial T1 weighted imaging were performed. After administration of intravenous contrast, axial imaging was performed with gradient echo, FLAIR, diffusion, and T1 technique. Sagittal MPRAGE imaging was performed and re-formatted in axial and coronal orientations. COMPARISON: Prior CT brain done ___ and pre discharge CT done ___ FINDINGS: Motion artifact degrades the diagnostic quality of the imaging. The patient is status post resection of a left occipital tumor. There is prominent peripheral restricted diffusion and enhancement in relation to the surgical bed. Centrally there is no restricted diffusion. The enhancement appears slightly more confluent along the lateral edges of the resection margin, with peripheral enhancement involving the posterior margins. Given that the region of peripheral enhancement along the posterior edge of the resection margin appears to correspond to the parenchyma, this is felt to be less likely abscess formation and rather represent a combination of postoperative change, ischemia/devitalized tissue, hemorrhage product and possible residual lesion. In the occipital horn of the right lateral ventricle there is soft tissue material which demonstrates restricted diffusion, and isointense T1 signal without evidence gradient echo susceptibility artifact. Although there is suggestion of mildly increased enhancement on motion degraded postcontrast sequence of series 19, image 13, no definite enhancement is seen on postcontrast image of series 20, image 13 series 21, image 15. Given lack of gradient echo susceptibility artifact, this raises concern for possible purulent material given the patient's clinical presentation, however hemorrhage product is a differential consideration. There is interval increase in size of the ventricular system suggesting communicating hydrocephalus. Fluid overlying the left occipital parietal bone measures 5 mm in sagittal diameter demonstrates mild rim enhancement and appears to communicate with the subarachnoid space immediately deep to the left occipital parietal bone and this most likely represents a CSF leak/pseudomeningocele. This is similar compared to most recent CT, but increased compared to pre discharge CT done ___. There is small 1.1 cm peripherally enhancing fluid collection inferior to the left mastoid tip (series 19, image 1) likely a postoperative seroma. Area of blooming and subtle T1 intrinsic hyperintensity in the left frontal lobe measuring 10 x 7 mm in the axial plane appear similar compared to prior. This lesion demonstrates avid postcontrast enhancement and on T2, the lesion does not demonstrate peripheral rim of hypointensity and central hyperintensity. There is mild FLAIR edema pattern surrounding the lesion. The pituitary appears normal. The craniocervical junction appears normal. The orbits appear normal. Mild mucosal thickening involving the paranasal sinuses. Moderate severe periventricular and deep white matter T2 and FLAIR hyperintense changes are most likely sequela of microangiopathy. IMPRESSION: 1. There is prominent diffusion-weighted hyperintense signal along the left occipital resection margins with regions of confluent enhancement along the lateral margins and regions of rim enhancement along the posterior inferior margins demonstrating central hypoenhancement. The regions of rim enhancement with central hypoenhancement appear to correspond to brain parenchyma on FLAIR and T1 precontrast sequences and therefore is felt to be unlikely abscess, but rather a combination of devitalized tissue, postsurgical ischemia/inflammatory changes, residual hemorrhage product and possible residual lesion. 2. Soft tissue material in the occipital horn of the right lateral ventricle demonstrates restricted diffusion and is without gradient echo susceptibility blooming artifact. Lack of blooming artifact does raise possibility of purulent material. However, there is no definitive associated enhancement. The lesion does appear to demonstrate mild postcontrast enhancement on 1 motion degraded postcontrast sequence, but not on subsequent postcontrast images and therefore hemorrhage product remains a differential consideration. 3. Interval increase in size of the ventricle suggest communicating hydrocephalus. 4. Interval increase in size of the fluid/CSF signal intensity collection overlying the left occipital parietal bone which appears to communicate with the subarachnoid space most likely represents a pseudomeningocele. There does appear to be a 1.1 cm peripherally enhancing fluid collection inferior to the left mastoid tip, likely a seroma however close attention is recommended to exclude infectious process. 5. Left frontal lesion demonstrating prominent gradient echo susceptibility artifact is unchanged. The lesion does not demonstrate of T2 hypointensity and central T2 hyperintensity and demonstrates avid postcontrast enhancement. There is surrounding edema pattern. This is unchanged from outside hospital MRI head of ___ and are not features typical for cavernoma, unless there has been recent hemorrhage. This raises suspicion for additional site of metastatic disease. Of note, no lesion was noted on outside hospital CT head of ___. NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed by Dr. ___ with Dr. ___ on the ___ ___ at 2:08 pm, 10 minutes after discovery of the findings. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST PORT. LINE PLACEMENT INDICATION: ___ year old man with NGT// placement Contact name: ___: ___ placement IMPRESSION: Compared to chest radiographs ___. Nasogastric drainage tube ends in the upper portion of a mildly distended stomach. Right apical lung lesion is presumably still present, but difficult to assess on conventional radiographs. Heart size normal. Lungs elsewhere clear. No pleural abnormality. Normal mediastinal and hilar contours. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W AND W/O CONTRAST ___ MR HEAD INDICATION: ___ year old man with L neuroendocrine tumor, metastatic to the brain// worsening dysphasia, AMS, please include DWI studies also TECHNIQUE: Sagittal and axial T1 weighted imaging were performed. After administration of intravenous contrast, axial imaging was performed with gradient echo, FLAIR, diffusion, and T1 technique. Sagittal MPRAGE imaging was performed and re-formatted in axial and coronal orientations. COMPARISON: MR head with and without contrast ___ FINDINGS: Patient is post left occipital craniotomy and mass resection. Small amount of subdural and subgaleal fluid collection surrounding the left occipital craniotomy is slightly increased from ___. Subdural component measures 7 mm in thickness, increased from 6 mm before. Sub glial component measures 8 mm in thickness, increased from 7 mm before. Ischemic changes surrounding the resection margin is similar to before. The enhancement at the resection margin and overlying dural enhancement appears more conspicuous than before. 9 mm lesion in the right occipital horn demonstrates T1 hyperintensity, restricted diffusion, and lack of susceptibility artifact, unchanged compared to ___. 9 mm enhancing lesion in the left frontal lobe with susceptibility artifact is again demonstrated. Previously noted small fluid collection inferior to the left mastoid tip is not demonstrated on this exam. Marked periventricular and subcortical white matter FLAIR hyperintensities are similar to before and consistent with chronic small vessel disease. There is no evidence of new hemorrhage, acute infarct, or midline shift. The ventricles and sulci are stable in caliber and configuration. IMPRESSION: 1. Subdural and subgaleal fluid collection surrounding the left craniotomy is larger compared to ___. No restricted diffusion is seen within this collection. However, possibility of superimposed infection cannot be excluded on MRI appearances. 2. Enhancement at the resection margin and overlying dural enhancement appears more conspicuous than before. Findings may reflect evolution of postoperative changes or differences in study techniques/artifact. 3. Ischemic changes at the resection margin appears similar to before. No new acute infarct is identified. 4. 9 mm left frontal lobe enhancing lesion is again demonstrated. Finding remains suspicious for metastatic lesion. 5. 9 mm lesion in the right occipital horn is unchanged . Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST (PORTABLE AP) INDICATION: ___ year old man with fever and elevated WBC.// Evaluation of elevating WBC with fever. IMPRESSION: In comparison with study of ___, the opacification in the right apical region is again seen, though difficult to assess on plain radiographs. This was well demonstrated on the CT study of ___. The cardiomediastinal silhouette is stable and there is no evidence of vascular congestion or pleural effusion. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MR ___ SPINE W/O CONTRAST ___ MR SPINE INDICATION: ___ year old man with history of neuroendocrine tumor. Evaluate for lumbar spinal metastatic disease. TECHNIQUE: Sagittal imaging was performed with T2, T1, and STIR technique, followed by axial T2 imaging. COMPARISON: ___ contrast abdomen and pelvis CT. FINDINGS: Study is severely degraded by motion, especially on fat-suppressed and axial imaging. Within these confines: For the purposes of numbering, the lowest rib bearing vertebral body was designated the T12 level. There is levoscoliosis of the lumbar spine. There is transitional anatomy with partial sacralization of L5. Approximately 30% L1 anterior compression deformities again noted. L1-2 and L4-5 probable type ___ ___ changes without definite epidural collection are noted. L2-3 type ___ ___ changes are noted. The visualized portion of the spinal cord is grossly preserved in signal and caliber. There is loss of intervertebral disc height and signal throughout the lumbar spine. At T12-L1 there is no vertebral canal or neural foraminal stenosis. At L1-2 there is disc bulge,mild vertebral canal and no neural foraminal narrowing. At L2-3 there is disc bulge,mild vertebral canal and no neural foraminal narrowing. Nonspecific left facet joint fluid is noted. At L3-4 there disc bulge,mild vertebral canal and moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. Nonspecific left facet joint fluid is noted. At L4-5 there is disc bulge,mild vertebral canal and moderate left neural foraminal narrowing. Nonspecific bilateral facet joint fluid is noted. At L5-S1 there is disc bulge,mild vertebral canal and mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing.bilateral facet joint probable synovial cysts are noted. Nonspecific bilateral facet joint fluid is noted. OTHER: Nonspecific bilateral L3 through L5 dorsal soft tissue T2 and STIR hyperintensity is noted. Mild STIR hyperintensity in bilateral psoas muscle and paraspinal muscles at L3-4 levels are noted. Patient's left atrophic partially cystic kidneys again noted (see 6:9). Right kidney probable extrarenal pelvis is again noted. Nonspecific fluid surrounding the right kidney is noted, not definitely seen on prior abdomen pelvis CT. Within limits of this motion degraded, noncontrast study, no definite evidence of paraspinal, paravertebral, or epidural mass identified. IMPRESSION: 1. Study is severely degraded by motion. 2. Additionally, evaluation for metastatic disease is limited due to lack administration of contrast, which was not administered due to patient inability to tolerate examination. If clinically indicated, consider repeat exam when patient can tolerate study. 3. Within limits of study, no definite evidence of lumbar spinal mass identified. 4. Extremely atrophic a partially cystic left kidney again noted. 5. Nonspecific right perinephric fluid not definitely seen on prior abdomen pelvis CT. If clinically indicated, consider renal ultrasound for further evaluation. 6. Nonspecific lower lumbar dorsal soft tissue and psoas muscle probable edema as described. 7. Approximately 30% L1 chronic anterior compression deformity. 8. Multilevel lumbar spondylosis as described, most pronounced at L3-4, where there is mild vertebral canal and moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. 9. L4-5 moderate left neural foraminal narrowing. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ with NG tube placed// Position TECHNIQUE: AP portable chest radiograph COMPARISON: ___ FINDINGS: The tip of the Dobhoff projects over the stomach. There is no new focal consolidation, pleural effusion or pneumothorax identified. Unchanged opacification at the right lung apex. The size of the cardiac silhouette is within normal limits.

There is no evidence of cord compression seen or intrinsic spinal cord signal abnormalities identified. Mild atelectatic changes are seen at the right lung base. In the lumbar region, mild degenerative disc disease identified. There is no evidence of spinal stenosis, disc herniation, or high-grade thecal sac compression seen. Slightly increased signal in the posterior subcutaneous fat in the upper lumbar region appears to be due to a mild degree of soft tissue edema. There is no fluid collection. No compression fracture is seen. IMPRESSION: No evidence of cord compression, spinal stenosis, or acute compression fracture. No spinal stenosis seen. No abnormal signal within the spinal cord. Multilevel mild degenerative changes without spinal stenosis. MR THORACIC ___ W/O CONTRAST Study Date of ___ EXAM: MRI of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar ___. CLINICAL INFORMATION: Patient with lower extremity and upper extremity weakness, history of L4-L5 disc herniation, for further evaluation. TECHNIQUE: T1, T2, and inversion recovery sagittal and T2 axial images of cervical, thoracic, and lumbar ___ were acquired.

There is no evidence of cord compression seen or intrinsic spinal cord signal abnormalities identified. Mild atelectatic changes are seen at the right lung base. In the lumbar region, mild degenerative disc disease identified. There is no evidence of spinal stenosis, disc herniation, or high-grade thecal sac compression seen. Slightly increased signal in the posterior subcutaneous fat in the upper lumbar region appears to be due to a mild degree of soft tissue edema. There is no fluid collection. No compression fracture is seen. IMPRESSION: No evidence of cord compression, spinal stenosis, or acute compression fracture. No spinal stenosis seen. No abnormal signal within the spinal cord. Multilevel mild degenerative changes without spinal stenosis. CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST Study Date of ___ INDICATION: Elevated INR and chronic falls. Evaluate for subdural hematoma. COMPARISONS: None. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT images were obtained through the brain without the administration of intravenous contrast. FINDINGS: There is no evidence of hemorrhage, edema, mass, mass effect, or infarction. The ventricles and sulci are mildly prominent, consistent with age-related atrophy. The basal cisterns are patent. Mild periventricular confluent white matter hypodensities are consistent with chronic small vessel ischemic disease. Calcifications are noted in the internal carotid arteries. 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. There is rightward deviation of the nasal septum. The soft tissues are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: 1. No acute intracranial abnormality. 2. Mild age-related atrophy and chronic small vessel ischemic disease. CHEST (PORTABLE AP) Study Date of ___ IMPRESSION: AP chest reviewed in the absence of prior chest radiographs: Lung volumes are quite low with crowding of vessels. Nevertheless, there is suggestion of several small nodules in the right mid and lower lung zone. Patient is rotated to the right exaggerating the caliber of the mediastinum in the region of the ascending aorta and obscuring the right hilus. Radiodensity in that region could be due to large hilar lymph node calcifications or additional nodules. In any case prior chest CT should be consulted, and if unavailable, should be supplemented by a chest CT performed here. Heart is normal size. Pleural effusion is small if any on the right. No pneumothorax. DUPLEX DOPP ABD/PEL Study Date of ___ ABDOMINAL ULTRASOUND AND LIVER DOPPLER CLINICAL INDICATION: Patient with complex medical history, elevated liver function tests, to assess for portal vein abnormalities or any liver or biliary abnormalities. The patient relates having had a prior cholecystectomy. There is no evidence of any intra- or extra-hepatic biliary dilatation. The head and body of the pancreas are normal in appearance but the tail is partially obscured by bowel gas. The abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava are unremarkable. The liver is diffusely increased in echogenicity, consistent with hepatic steatosis. There are no focal liver lesions seen and there is no evidence of ascites. The spleen is mildly enlarged, however, to 13.8 cm length. The kidneys show no evidence of hydronephrosis, stones or masses. The right kidney is 11.2 cm in length, while the left kidney appears smaller, measuring only 9.4 cm in length. Color flow and pulse Doppler waveform analysis was performed. The portal vein is patent with normal forward flow and slightly flattened pulse Doppler waveforms. Left and right portal veins are fully patent, as are the hepatic veins. Arterial signals within the liver are normal. Splenic vein was also seen to be patent with normal direction and flow, but the SMV could not be imaged due to overlying gas. CONCLUSION: 1. Fatty liver and mild splenomegaly. The possibility of more significant underlying liver disease, including fibrosis and cirrhosis, should be considered, particularly in view of the flattened portal venous waveforms. 2. Status post cholecystectomy with no biliary dilatation. 3. Slightly small left kidney compared to the right, of uncertain clinical significance. Portable TTE (Complete) Done ___ The left atrium is normal in size. Left ventricular wall thicknesses are normal. The left ventricular cavity size is normal. Due to suboptimal technical quality, a focal wall motion abnormality cannot be fully excluded. Overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (LVEF>55%). Tissue Doppler imaging suggests a normal left ventricular filling pressure (PCWP<12mmHg). Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened. There is no aortic valve stenosis. Trace aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. No mitral regurgitation is seen. The tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. The pulmonary artery systolic pressure could not be determined. There is no pericardial effusion. CT CHEST W/CONTRAST Study Date of ___ HISTORY: Incidental lung nodules found on chest radiograph. The patient has chest pain and smokes tobacco. TECHNIQUE: Multidetector helical scanning with intravenous infusion of 75 mL Omnipaque nonionic iodinated contrast agent reconstructed as contiguous 5- and 1.25-mm thick axial and 5-mm thick coronal and parasagittal images reviewed in the absence of prior chest CT scans. FINDINGS: Fine detail in the lungs is degraded by respiratory motion, but is sufficient to show that there is no consolidation or nodulation, and only mild heterogeneity, reflected in ground-glass infiltration surrounding the bronchus to the anterior segment of the right upper lobe, 4:79, and nodular looking subpleural edema in the posterior segment, extending to the major fissure. A 6-mm wide oval nodule in the right lower lobe, 4:100, and 4-mm right middle lobe nodule, 4:106, in combination with what was probably mild pulmonary edema, may account for the interpretation of the conventional radiograph on ___ that the lungs were full of nodules. A nodular opacity where two bands of atelectasis originate in the right lower lobe, 4:157 should not be mistaken for a third lung nodule. Central lymph nodes are not pathologically enlarged, ranging in diameter up to 8 mm in the prevascular aortopulmonic windows station of the mediastinum. There is no pleural or pericardial effusion. This study is not designed for subdiaphragmatic diagnosis, but shows there is no adrenal mass, while the patient has had a cholecystectomy. IMPRESSION: 1. Resolving pulmonary edema. 2. Two subcentimeter lung nodules should be followed with repeat CT scanning in six months. HIP (UNILAT 2 VIEW) W/PELVIS (1 VIEW) RIGHT Study Date of ___ HISTORY: Anterior hip pain.

FINDINGS: Intra-articular distal radial fracture, with impaction. There is dorsal angulation of the distal fracture fragments which appears slightly worse than previous. Mild ulnar positive variance may be as result of fracture fragment impaction. Incidental mild from interphalangeal joint degenerative change. IMPRESSION: Increased dorsal angulation of intra-articular impacted comminuted distal radial fracture. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ s/p fall w/ AMS // eval for trauma TECHNIQUE: Supine views of the chest and pelvis. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: Within the limitation given overlying trauma board and external equipment, the following is noted: Chest: The lungs are clear. The cardiomediastinal silhouette is within normal limits. No displaced fractures identified. Pelvis: There is no fracture. Pubic symphysis and SI joints are preserved. Degenerative changes are noted in the lower lumbar spine. Phleboliths identified in the pelvis. IMPRESSION: No acute cardiopulmonary process. No pelvic fracture. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST INDICATION: History: ___ s/p fall w/ AMS // eval for trauma TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images images of the brain were obtained without contrast. Coronal and sagittal as well as thin bone-algorithm reconstructed images were obtained. DOSE: DLP: 1003 mGy-cm CTDI: 52 mGy COMPARISON: None available FINDINGS: There is minimal amount of hemorrhage in the lateral ventricles in the body of the right and layering dependently in the occipital horns bilaterally. No other intracranial hemorrhage is detected. The ventricles and sulci are mildly prominent suggesting age-related atrophy. Prominent bifrontal extra-axial CSF density could be due to volume loss or low-density subdural fluid collections. The basal cisterns are patent. Gray-white matter differentiation is preserved. Left facial and skullbase fractures are better depicted on concurrent CT of the face. There is hemorrhagic opacification of the left maxillary sinus and sphenoids. The mastoid air cells and middle ear cavities are clear. IMPRESSION: 1. Minimal amount of hemorrhage in the lateral ventricles as detailed above. 2. Left facial and skullbase fractures better depicted on concurrent CT of the face. 3. Prominent bifrontal extra-axial CSF potentially due to volume loss and prominent subarachnoid space although low-density subdural fluid is also possible. This can be further assessed at time of CTA. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT SINUS/MANDIBLE/MAXILLOFACIAL W/O CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ s/p fall w/ AMS // eval for trauma TECHNIQUE: Helical axial images were acquired through the paranasal sinuses. Coronal reformatted images were also obtained DOSE: DLP: 541 mGy-cm; CTDI: 26 mGy COMPARISON: None available FINDINGS: Left lateral orbital fracture is medially displaced into the orbit approximately 5 mm. There is comminuted fracture of the left zygomatic arch. Fracture fragments of the zygomatic arch are seen approximately 3 mm from coronoid process. There is comminuted fracture of the anterior and lateral left maxillary walls. Left orbital floor fracture is seen to traverse the inferior orbital canal. The inferior left orbital rim is fractured. The globe is unremarkable. There is no CT evidence of extraocular muscle entrapment. Small amount of extraconal hematoma seen adjacent left lateral rectus muscle. There is fracture of the left sphenoid sinus walls extending to the left carotid canal (02:55). Fractures are also seen involving the posterior wall the pterygopalatine fossa (02:53). Hemorrhage seen layering within the left maxillary sinus and sphenoid sinuses. There is partial opacification of the ethmoid air cells. The mandible is intact. The temporomandibular joints are anatomically aligned. Pterygoid plates are also intact. IMPRESSION: Left zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture. Left sphenoid sinus wall fracture involving the left carotid canal should be further evaluated with CTA of the head and neck to exclude vascular injury.

You were evaluated in the Emergency Room following a fall down a flight of stairs. You were found to have a small bleed in your brain, facial fractures (maxillary and zygomatic fractures), Left hand fractures for which you were evaluated by Neurosurgery, Plastic Surgery, and Hand Surgery. FACIAL FRACTURES INFORMATION You were diagnosed with a facial fracture. Some facial fractures require an operation, others do not and heal on their own. Until you can be further evaluated, you do need to take some precautions: - Sleep with the head of your bed elevated about 45 degrees (prop yourself up with some pillows) - Do not do anything to increase pressure in your face: Do not use straws to drink, do not blow your nose, if you have to sneeze do so with an open mouth, and do not strain with bowel movements. - Avoid contact sports or strenuous physical activity - Take an over-the-counter stool softener, such as Colace, for the next 2 weeks to prevent straining with bowel movements. This is especially important if you have been prescribed narcotic pain medications, because all narcotics are constipating. - If an antibiotic was prescribed, please take it as directed. Call your doctor or return to the emergency room for: - Fevers or chills - Worsening headaches - Purulent or foul smelling drainage from one or both nostrils - Worsening tenderness in your face - Pain with ___ movement or difficulty moving eyes - Blurry vision - Nausea or vomiting - Any other concerns HAND/WRIST FRACTURES Many hand and wrist injuries are simple sprains or strains that will resolve over ___ weeks. Some types of ligament tears can take longer or require surgery. Fractures will require follow-up care for casting. The severity of some injuries can be difficult to determine at the time of an emergency visit. Certain types of injuries are always treated with a plaster splint since some fractures can take more than a week to show up on X-Rays. If X-Rays were taken: they were reviewed by physicians in the Emergency Department today, and will also be reviewed by a radiologist within 24 hours. We will call you if there are any questions, or if more x-rays are needed. <B>Treatment:</B> * Rest the affected area. If a splint was applied, be sure to wear it and use a sling. As much as possible, you should keep your arm elevated above the level of your heart. * For the first 2 days, apply ice packs for 15 minutes at a time. You can do this as frequently as possible, up to once every hour if there is a lot of swelling. Be sure to always place a towel between the ice pack and your skin. * After 2 days you can switch to heat if it is more comfortable, or continue using the ice. * Unless told otherwise by your doctor, you can use over the counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin). If you were given a prescription for strong pain medications you should not drive, operate machinery or drink alcohol while taking them. * Be sure to follow up with your doctor or the specialist as instructed. <B>Warning Signs:</B> Call your doctor or return to the Emergency Department right away if any of the following problems develop: * Your pain or swelling gets much worse * Your arm or hand is cold or numb HEAD INJURY You have been diagnosed as having sustained an injury to your head. Most head injuries are not serious and get better over a few days. However in rare cases, further problems develop, so it is important that you, and a friend or relative monitor your condition and seek immediate help if you notice any of the warning signs below. If X-Rays were taken: they were reviewed by physicians in the Emergency Department today, and will also be reviewed by a radiologist within 24 hours. We will call you if there are any questions, or if more x-rays are needed. <B>Treatment:</B> * It is important that you stay with a friend or relative for at least 24 hours so they can help you watch for the warning signs below. * You should rest, and avoid exertion or heavy lifting for ___ days or until you feel completely well again. Do not drive, operate machinery or perform other tasks that require strict concentration until you are well. * Avoid alcohol, sedatives and any other substances that will make you sleepy. * Mild nausea is normal for a few hours after an injury. If you have severe nausea or if you are vomiting, seek medical attention. * A mild to moderate headache is to be expected. For the first 24 hours take only Tylenol (acetaminophen) for headache. <B>Warning Signs:</B> Call your doctor or return to the Emergency Department right away if any of the following problems develop: * Prolonged nausea * Vomiting * Confusion, drowsiness, change in normal behavior * Trouble walking, or speaking (slurred speech) * Numbness or weakness of an arm or leg. * Severe headache * Convulsions or seizures Dizziness, changes in sleep, forgetfulness and difficulty concentrating are not uncommon after a head injury. These symptoms will usually clear over a few days, but if they persist or become worrisome, you may benefit from following up with a Neurologist specializing in head injuries.

There is normal compressibility, flow, and augmentation of the left common femoral, femoral, and popliteal veins. The posterior tibial and peroneal veins were not clearly seen on either side. There is normal respiratory variation in the common femoral veins bilaterally. No evidence of medial popliteal fossa (___) cyst. IMPRESSION: 1. Deep venous thrombosis of the right femoral and popliteal veins. 2. Nonvisualization of posterior tibial and peroneal veins bilaterally. Within these limits, no evidence of deep venous thrombosis in the leftlower extremity veins. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST (PORTABLE AP) INDICATION: ___ year old woman with new PE hypoxemia// Assess for infiltrate or cause of hypoxemia TECHNIQUE: Single frontal view of the chest COMPARISON: Chest CT ___ IMPRESSION: Cardiac size is top-normal. Patient has a large hiatal hernia. Enlargement of the pulmonary arteries is again noted. There is no pneumonia, pulmonary edema, evident pneumothorax or pleural effusions. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ year old woman with submassive PE and large RLE DVT// Please place IVC filter COMPARISON: None. TECHNIQUE: OPERATORS: Dr. ___ and Dr. ___ radiologist performed the procedure. Dr. ___ supervised the trainee during the key components of the procedure and has reviewed and agrees with the trainee's findings. ANESTHESIA: Local anesthesia was utilized with 1% lidocaine was injected in the skin and subcutaneous tissues overlying the access site. MEDICATIONS: None. CONTRAST: 30 ml of Optiray contrast. FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 5 min, 76 mGy PROCEDURE: 1. Left iliac vein and IVC venogram. 2. Infrarenal retrievable 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 healthcare proxy. 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 ___ wire was advanced through the micropuncture sheath into the inferior vena cava. A 5 ___ sheath was exchanged for the micropuncture sheath. After the inner dilator was removed, an Omniflush catheter was advanced over the wire into the IVC. The ___ wire was exchanged for an angled Glidewire, which was advanced into the left common iliac vein and the catheter tip was advanced into the left common iliac vein. A left common iliac and inferior vena cava venogram was performed. Based on the results of the venogram, detailed below, a decision was made to place a retrievable, infrarenal IVC filter. The catheter and sheath were removed over the wire and the sheath of the retrievable filter 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. FINDINGS: 1. Patent normal sized, non-duplicated IVC with single bilateral renal veins and no evidence of a clot. 2. Successful deployment of an infra-renal retrievable IVC filter. IMPRESSION: Successful deployment of an infrarenal retrievable IVC filter. RECOMMENDATION(S): Please contact the department of Interventional Radiology with questions or concerns about the retrievable filter and for follow-up for retrieval if clinically feasible.

He exercised for 9.5 minutes of ___ protocol ___ METs) and stopped due to fatigue. This represents an average functional capacity for his age. He denied any chest, arm, neck or back discomforts, inappropriate shortness of breath, palpitations or symptoms of exercise intolerance throughout the study. In the setting of diffuse ST T wave abnormalities on baseline ECG due to LVH with strain, the ECG was uninterpretable for evaluating ischemic changes. However, the ST segment and T wave morphologies did not change from baseline during exercise or in recovery. The rhythm was sinus with rare isolated APB's seen during exercise. There was marked hypertension at rest with an exaggerated hypertensive blood pressure response to exercise. The heart rate responded appropriately to both exercise and recovery. IMPRESSION: ECG uninterpretable for ischemia evaluation in the setting of LVH w/ strain. No anginal type symptoms. Resting hypertension with exaggerated hypertensive response to exercise. Average functional capacity demonstrated. Echo report sent separately. STRESS TTE (___): LVEF >55%. The patient exercised for 9 minutes30 seconds according to ___ treadmill protocol (10.6 METS) reaching a peak heart rate of 130 bpm and a peak blood pressure of 220/90 mmHg. The test was stopped because of fatigue. This level of exercise represents an average exercise tolerance for age. The exercise ECG was uninterpretable due to resting ST-T wave changes (see exercise report for details). The blood pressure response to stress was abnormal/mildly hypertensive. Resting images were acquired at a heart rate of 62 bpm and a blood pressure of 170/98 mmHg. These demonstrated normal regional and global left ventricular systolic function. Echo images were acquired within 98 seconds after peak stress at heart rates of 120 - 85 bpm. These demonstrated appropriate augmentation of all left ventricular segments with slight decrease in cavity size. IMPRESSION: Average functional exercise capacity with baseline hypertension and hypertensive BP response to exercise. ECG not interpretable for ischemia in the presence of baseline abnormalities.

Mr. ___, It was a pleasure meeting and caring for you during your hospitalization at ___. You were admitted with chest pain and arm pain. We found that you had a small heart attack. Your heart attack was probably not from a blockage in the heart artery (coronary artery) but because of very elevated blood pressures. We performed a stress test on your heart which returned normal which makes a blockage in a heart artery even less likely. We changed your blood pressure medication regimen which is expalined below. Please continue to take your blood pressure pills as they are prescribed at the same time each day. Also, please record your blood pressures in a journal. Bring the journal and your blood pressure cuff to your next primary care appointment. We wish you a speedy recovery. All the best, Your ___ Care Team

Dear ___, You were admitted to the hospital with left arm and leg weakness and confusion. Initial concerns were for a stroke or a seizure. We obtained imaging of your brain with MRI, as well as vessels with CTA head and neck which did not show any evidence of stroke or vessel spasm. We sent a Lyme blood test which is still pending. We also monitored your cardiac enzymes as you had symptoms of chest tightness and these were stable. You complained of leg pain and swelling so we checked your veins for clots and this was also negative. Your gait and strength slowly improved back to baseline. At this point we recommend close follow up with your PCP and one follow up appointment with us here in Neurology. We think that this episode was likely a physical manifestation of the severe stress you have been undergoing as well as possible transient small vasospasm due to cocaine use. We strongly urge you to NOT use cocaine in the future. Please have an ultrasound of your heart done in the outpatient setting. It was a pleasure caring for you and we are glad that you are on your way to recovery. It was a pleasure taking care of you, Your ___ neurology team
Name: ___ Unit No: ___ Admission Date: ___ Discharge Date: ___ Date of Birth: ___ Sex: M Service: MEDICINE Allergies: No Known Allergies / Adverse Drug Reactions Attending: ___. Chief Complaint: Rash, abnormal labs Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: None History of Present Illness: Mr. ___ is a ___ y/o man with a history of rheumatoid arthiritis (previously on anti-TNF; stopped ___, prior alcohol abuse complicated by chronic portal vein thrombosis in the setting of pancreatitis, portal hypertension with varices s/p band ligation presenting for evaluation of rash and abnormal labs. The patient reports that he had a mechanical fall on ___. He presented to ___, and was found to have traumatic right humeral fracture and rib fractures requiring chest tube placements c/b Infuenza Pneumonia and MSSA bacteremia/empyema s/p thoracocentesis and decortication. He was discharged on IV cefazolin for an intended 4-week course, but subsequently developed a purpuric rash on his knees, per notes around ___. He was seen by ID, and his antibiotics were switched from cefazolin to vancomycin. He subsequently presented to ___ in ___ for persistent rash, and vancomycin was switched to Linezolid, although vancomycin was not thought to be the cause of his rash. He underwent skin biopsy on ___, with pathology consistent with leukocytoclastic vasculitis, although numerous eosinophils in the biopsy raises consideration for a hypersensitivity etiology. The differential diagnosis includes vasculitis associated with autoimmune disease (rheumatoid arthritis). Overall, the thinking was that this rash was possibly triggered by an infection, and was thought to be less likely secondary to his rheumatoid arthritis or an antibiotic or drug exposure. Immunosuppression and prednisone was considered but was not initiated. Per ___ notes, it appears that the plan was for the patient to see rheumatology as an outpatient to discuss re-initiating Humira. In the interim, the patient reports that the rash has progressed, and spread to his arms just recently. The rash is not pruritic or painful. He saw his gastroenterologist on the day of admission, who referred him to the hospital for further evaluation. On arrival to the floor, patient reports that he has severe pain in his right shoulder, which has been present since his accident in ___. No other joint pain or swelling. He denies any other complaints. No fever/chills, weight loss. No cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, palpitations. He has been told that he has hematuria, but he has not noticed this himself. No melena or hematochezia. No nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. No unintentional weight loss. Of note, the patient localizing the worsening of his symptoms to the same time that he started iron supplementation.

Pulmonary edema? Pulmonary hemorrhage? IMPRESSION: No previous images. The cardiac silhouette is at the upper limits of normal. Indistinctness of pulmonary vessels suggests some elevated pulmonary venous pressure. Opacification at the left base silhouetting hemidiaphragm most likely represents a combination of atelectasis and pleural fluid. However, there is suggestion of mild coalescence of opacification just above and lateral to the lower cardiac border. In the appropriate clinical setting, this would be worrisome for superimposed aspiration/pneumonia. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: ABDOMEN US (COMPLETE STUDY) INDICATION: ___ year old man with history of portal vein thrombosis, here with ___ and leukocytoclastic vasculitis// Doppler evaluation of portal vein; hydronephrosis? TECHNIQUE: Grey scale, color and spectral doppler ultrasound images of the abdomen were obtained. COMPARISON: CT abdomen and pelvis ___ FINDINGS: LIVER: Note is made the left hepatic lobe could not be identified due to overlying bowel gas and limited sonographic windows. Within that limitation the hepatic parenchyma appears within normal limits. The contour of the liver is smooth. There is no focal liver mass. The region of the main portal vein was evaluated with color and spectral Doppler imaging. The region where the main portal vein usually lies is replaced with multiple tortuous vessels which demonstrate arterial flow on spectral Doppler imaging, consistent with cavernous transformation and chronic portal vein thrombosis. Within the region of the right portal vein, a small amount of hepatopetal portal venous flow is identified. There is no ascites. BILE DUCTS: There is no intrahepatic biliary dilation. The CBD measures 5 mm. GALLBLADDER: There is no evidence of stones or gallbladder wall thickening. PANCREAS: The pancreas is not well visualized, largely obscured by overlying bowel gas. SPLEEN: Normal echogenicity, measuring 12.4 cm. KIDNEYS: The right kidney measures 10.4 cm. The left kidney measures 12.9 cm. Views of the bilateral kidneys show no hydronephrosis. A simple cyst is seen arising from the lower pole of the left kidney measuring 1.1 cm RETROPERITONEUM: Visualized portions of aorta and IVC are within normal limits. IMPRESSION: 1.

The right atrium is mildly enlarged. The estimated right atrial pressure is ___ mmHg. The left ventricle has a normal cavity size. There is suboptimal image quality to assess regional left ventricular function. The visually estimated left ventricular ejection fraction is >=60%. There is no resting left ventricular outflow tract gradient. No ventricular septal defect is seen. Tissue Doppler suggests a normal left ventricular filling pressure (PCWP less than 12mmHg). The right ventricle was not well seen with uninterpretable free wall motion assessment. The aortic sinus diameter is normal for gender with normal ascending aorta diameter for gender. The aortic arch diameter is normal with a normal descending aorta diameter. A ___ 3 aortic valve bioprosthesis is present. The prosthesis is well seated with normal gradient. There is no aortic valve stenosis. There is an eccentric, anterior mitral leaflet directed jet of trace aortic regurgitation. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened with no mitral valve prolapse. There is moderate mitral annular calcification. There is trivial mitral regurgitation.

There is mild [1+] tricuspid regurgitation. There is mild pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is no pericardial effusion. IMPRESSION: Suboptimal image quality. Likely preserved global left ventricular systolic function. Cannot comment on right ventricular function. Well-seated, normally functioning aortic valve ___ ___ortic regurgitation (no paravalvular leak). Mild pulmonary hypertension. Compared with the prior TTE ___, suboptimal image quality precludes definititve comparison CTA CORONARY ARTERIES ___ FINDINGS: Image Quality: The overall quality of the CT angiographic examination is poor and is limited by poor arterial opacification and patient motion. AGATSTON SCORE: The total (aggregate) calcium score using the AJ 130 method is 1476. Total volume score is 1352. 90% of similar patients have less coronary artery calcium. Individual major vessel AJ 130 scores are: LM: 117; LAD: 572; LCX: 320; RCA: 467. CORONARY CTA: Dominance of the coronary artery system: right with normal origins and course. There is atherosclerotic disease noted in the LAD, LCx and RCA. No major plaques are seen, though evaluation is very limited and narrowing within 50% cannot be excluded. CARDIAC MORPHOLOGY: The right atrium is normal. The right ventricle is normal. The left atrium is normal. The left ventricle is normal. The pericardium is normal and there is no pericardial effusion. The patient is status post aortic valve replacement. No plaques are seen associated with the replaced aortic valve. There are mitral annular calcifications. A biventricular pacing devices is seen. EXTRACARDIAC FINDINGS: No suspicious pulmonary nodules. There is mild left basilar atelectasis and mild bilateral dependent atelectasis. There are moderate multilevel degenerative changes of the thoracic spine. IMPRESSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Very limited study due to patient body habitus, motion artifact, poor arterial opacification. Please note coronary CTA is not the preferred modality due to patient body habitus. Total calcium score of 1476. CAC-DRS ___ A3/N3 CAC Score risk: CAC-DRS 3 (>300): moderately to severely increased risk- high intensity statin + 81mg ___ recommended (A - risk category based on Agatston score / N - number of coronary arteries containing calcifications) CAD-RADS N- Non-diagnostic study, obstructive CAD cannot be excluded. Additional or alternative evaluation may be needed. There is disease noted in the LAD, LCx and RCA, and while no major plaques are seen, evaluation is very limited and narrowing within 50% cannot be excluded. CT CHEST ___ No evidence of pulmonary edema or pneumonia. ANKLE XRAY ___ FINDINGS: No acute fractures or dislocations are seen.There is mild periosteal reaction about the medial and inferior medial aspect of the medial malleolus with subtle lucency of the medial malleolus tip. There is moderate soft tissue edema about the ankle most pronounced medially.There is a healed distal fibular fracture. Prominent plantar and Achilles related enthesophytes. There are vascular calcifications. There are mild degenerative changes about the tibiotalar joint. Possible small ankle joint effusion. IMPRESSION: Mild periosteal reaction about the medial aspect of the ankle with questionable small osseous erosion of the distal tip of the medial malleolus, may represent early osteomyelitis in the correct clinical context, with other etiologies including inflammatory arthropathy not excluded. Note that MRI is more sensitive for detection of osteomyelitis. Moderate soft tissue edema about the ankle, most pronounced medially. MRI ___ IMPRESSION: 1. No bone marrow signal abnormality to suggest osteomyelitis. 2. Diffuse subcutaneous edema of the left ankle without rim enhancing fluid collection. 3.

To provide better evaluation of the anatomy and disease process, advanced 3D post-processing techniques, including multiplanar reconstruction, maximal intensity projections, curved reconstructions, and volume rendering were performed on a separate workstation. Calcium score was calculated using Vitrea V-Score software. No intravenous contrast material was administered for this portion of the exam. Medications: None. Nitroglycerin could not be given due to patient's aortic stenosis. Vital Signs: The patient's heart rate was continuously monitored by a nurse. Prior to this study, the heart rate was 80 beats per min and the blood pressure was 134/48 mm Hg. Procedure complications/allergic reactions: none DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Sequenced Acquisition 0.6 s, 23.5 cm; CTDIvol = 7.3 mGy (Body) DLP = 170.7 mGy-cm. 2) Stationary Acquisition 0.5 s, 14.0 cm; CTDIvol = 12.5 mGy (Body) DLP = 175.1 mGy-cm. 3) Stationary Acquisition 0.3 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 1.6 mGy (Body) DLP = 0.8 mGy-cm. 4) Stationary Acquisition 3.7 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 20.3 mGy (Body) DLP = 10.1 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Body) = 357 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: None available. FINDINGS: Image Quality: The overall quality of the CT angiographic examination is poor and is limited by poor arterial opacification and patient motion. AGATSTON SCORE: The total (aggregate) calcium score using the AJ 130 method is 1476. Total volume score is 1352. 90% of similar patients have less coronary artery calcium. Individual major vessel AJ 130 scores are: LM: 117; LAD: 572; LCX: 320; RCA: 467. CORONARY CTA: Dominance of the coronary artery system: right with normal origins and course. There is atherosclerotic disease noted in the LAD, LCx and RCA. No major plaques are seen, though evaluation is very limited and narrowing within 50% cannot be excluded. CARDIAC MORPHOLOGY: The right atrium is normal. The right ventricle is normal. The left atrium is normal. The left ventricle is normal. The pericardium is normal and there is no pericardial effusion. The patient is status post aortic valve replacement. No plaques are seen associated with the replaced aortic valve. There are mitral annular calcifications. A biventricular pacing devices is seen. EXTRACARDIAC FINDINGS: No suspicious pulmonary nodules. There is mild left basilar atelectasis and mild bilateral dependent atelectasis. There are moderate multilevel degenerative changes of the thoracic spine. IMPRESSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Very limited study due to patient body habitus, motion artifact, poor arterial opacification. Please note coronary CTA is not the preferred modality due to patient body habitus. Total calcium score of 1476. CAC-DRS ___ A3/N3 CAC Score risk: CAC-DRS 3 (>300): moderately to severely increased risk- high intensity statin + 81mg ASA recommended (A - risk category based on Agatston score / N - number of coronary arteries containing calcifications) CAD-RADS N- Non-diagnostic study, obstructive CAD cannot be excluded. Additional or alternative evaluation may be needed. There is disease noted in the LAD, LCx and RCA, and while no major plaques are seen, evaluation is very limited and narrowing within 50% cannot be excluded.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST (AP AND LAT) INDICATION: ___ with cough sob COMPARISON: ___ FINDINGS: AP upright and lateral views of the chest provided. The heart remains mildly enlarged. Lung volumes are low limiting assessment. No convincing signs of pneumonia or edema. There may be mild hilar congestion. No large effusion or pneumothorax. Mediastinal contour is normal. Bony structures are intact. Bilateral AC joint arthropathy noted. Fusion hardware projects over the C-spine. IMPRESSION: Stable mild cardiomegaly with mild hilar congestion. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ year old man who fell and hit hit, no LOC. // eval for hemorrhage after headstrike TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images from skullbase to vertex were obtained without intravenous contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations and bone algorithms reconstructions were also performed. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Sequenced Acquisition 16.0 s, 17.1 cm; CTDIvol = 47.0 mGy (Head) DLP = 802.7 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Head) = 803 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: CT head ___ FINDINGS: There is no evidence of infarction, hemorrhage, edema, or mass. Prominence of the ventricles and sulci is suggestive of atrophy. No fracture seen. There is moderate mucosal thickening in the ethmoid air cells. The imaged portion of the paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are otherwise clear. The imaged portion of the orbits are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: Chronic findings as discussed above. No evidence of fracture, hemorrhage or infarction. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT C-SPINE W/O CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ year old man who fell and hit hit, no LOC. eval for hemorrhage. cervical spine tenderness // eval for cervical spine tenderness TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images obtained through the cervical spine without intravenous contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformats were reviewed. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Spiral Acquisition 6.4 s, 24.8 cm; CTDIvol = 37.3 mGy (Body) DLP = 926.2 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Body) = 926 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: CT C-spine ___ FINDINGS: Evaluation at the level of the dental hardware is somewhat limited due to artifact. Anterior fusion hardware from C3-C7 appears similar to prior. There is no perihardware lucency or other complication identified. Alignment is not significantly changed since prior, with minimal C7 on T1 anterolisthesis similar to prior. No fractures are identified. There are changes of degenerative disc disease with a small bulge of the disc at C2-3 narrowing the spinal canal but not contacting the spinal cord. The neural foramina appear normal. At C3-4, prominent intervertebral osteophytes encroach on the spinal canal, greater on the left than right. These appear to flatten the anterior surface of the spinal cord. In addition, uncovertebral and facet osteophytes produce moderate -severe left neural foraminal narrowing. At C4-5, intervertebral osteophytes narrow the spinal canal and flatten the anterior surface of the spinal cord. Facet and uncovertebral osteophytes produce moderate right neural foraminal narrowing. At C5-6, small intervertebral osteophytes narrow the spinal canal and contact the anterior surface of the spinal cord. The neural foramen appears normal. At C6-7, intervertebral osteophytes narrow the spinal canal and slightly flatten the anterior surface of the spinal cord. Uncovertebral osteophytes produce mild right and moderate left neural foraminal narrowing. There is mild canal narrowing at C7-T1 due to subluxation. However, this does not appear sufficient to contact the spinal cord. The neural foramina appear normal. There is no prevertebral edema. The thyroid and included lung apices are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: No evidence of fracture. Minimal anterior subluxation of C7 on T1 due to degenerative disease. Anterior fusion of C3 through C7 appears intact with no evidence of hardware failure. Degenerative disc disease with canal and foraminal narrowing at multiple levels.

Dear Ms. ___, You were admitted with a headache and back pain. We were concerned that the two symptoms together may have indicated meningitis so we performed a lumbar puncture, which returned as normal. Therefore, we feel that your symptoms were related to a migraine headache. We made no following changes to your medications. Please continue to take your other medications as previously prescribed. If you experience any of the below listed Danger Signs, please contact your doctor or go to the nearest Emergency Room. It was a pleasure taking care of you on this hospitalization.
Name: ___ Unit No: ___ Admission Date: ___ Discharge Date: ___ Date of Birth: ___ Sex: M Service: MEDICINE Allergies: Penicillins Attending: ___. Chief Complaint: Multiple complaints Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: None History of Present Illness: History is somewhat hampered by the patient's inability to relate a coherent history. Mr ___ is a ___ with Hodgkin lymphoma s/p chemo and mantle-XRT ___, thymic carcinoma s/p resection ___ with recurrence ___, stable until ___ when lost to followup in our center, CAD s/p IPMI and PCI with "3 stents", HTN, HL, COPD, active smoking, BPH, GERD, depression/anxiety, chronic left shoulder pain, who presents with fairly nebulous complaints. He relates a history that has no particular start point and no obvious milestones. - He says that over the past year he has noticed a clicking sensation, not really a pain, that occurs when he breathes. It comes and goes, but it has been more frequent recently and he has started to worry about it. He thinks it could represent progression/recurrence of his cancer. - He says that he has had shoulder issues for years. He was enrolled in a pain clinic for ___ years, trial of injections and Percocet, but was unhappy because they "didn't try to find the answer" and so he stopped going. He was referred to orthopedist Dr ___ performed MRI that showed "tears" and reportedly performed a procedure on his shoulder, that didn't work. Dr ___ told him "there wasn't anything more he could do for him." Over the past few weeks, he has noted increasing pain in the shoulder, some in his neck on that side, with radiation down his arm. Pain is sharp, worsened with ROM, but it is present all the time. - He has had fluctuations in his blood pressure, at times as high as high 180s/110s. This has been happening for the past few weeks. He denies symptoms, but said his daughter checks his BP frequently. - He is anxious and feels he needs a PET scan to determine the source of his underlying issues. According to Mr ___, his daughter became concerned about his shoulder pain with the radiation down the arm, along with the higher blood pressure. She brought him into ___ ___. He endorses a negative experience, where they "focused only on my heart and said things were fine." We do not have those records. His PCP apparently recommended he go back to see Dr ___ from Thoracics given his concerns. For unclear reasons, they decided to come to our ED rather than making an appointment. In the ED here, he had stable vital signs, mild tachycardia. Labs were performed and were unremarkable. Imaging was uploaded but there is no comment on the reads and he was not sent to us with copies of records. Admission was requested. He currently complains only of shoulder pain. It is as described above. He notably denies any increase in pain with ambulation. He tells me he is able to walk to the store and back without dyspnea and has continued to be able to do. He experiences chronic dyspnea with exertion when going up 1 flight of stairs, but denies chest pain. He endorsed sweats, but no f/c, n/v/d/c, cough, leg swelling, rashes. ROS is negative in 10 points except as noted above Past Medical History: Hodgkin lymphoma s/p chemo and mantle-XRT ___, thymic carcinoma s/p resection ___ with recurrence ___, stable until ___ when lost to followup in our center, CAD s/p IPMI and PCI with "3 stents", HTN, HL, COPD, active smoking, BPH, GERD, depression/anxiety, chronic left shoulder pain Social History: ___ Family History: Mother died in ___ of pancreatic cancer Father died in ___ of COPD and prostate cancer Sister died in ___ of cancer (cannot remember type) Physical Exam: Vitals AVSS Gen NAD, pleasant Abd soft, NT, ND, bs+ CV RRR, soft systolic murmur, no rubs ___ Lungs CTA ___, few rhonchi at bases Ext WWP, no edema Skin no rash, anicteric GU no foley Eyes EOMI HENT MMM, OP clear Neuro nonfocal, moves all extremities, steady gait MSK pain with flexion, abduction, and internal and external rotations of the left shoulder Psych flat affect Discharge Physical Exam: Exam: Vitals AVSS, SBP 100s-130s.

Aortic bifem with occluded native common iliac arteries. 3. Right 6th rib deformity is of indeterminate chronicity, correlate with point tenderness. 4. Calcified thyroid nodule measuring 20 mm, may be further evaluated with an US on a nonemergent basis. 5. Hyperdense foci in the gallbladder suggesting polyps or potentially stones, probably less likely; unless MRCP is pursued, gallbladder ultrasound could be considered clinically indicated to evaluate further. 6. Sigmoid diverticulosis. 7. A 19 x 12 mm hypodensity at the head of the pancreas may represent IPMN and may be further evaluated with MRCP. . CXR (___): FINDINGS: The mediastinum is widened secondary to known ascending aortic aneurysm, but is unchanged from prior exams. There is no new mediastinal widening. The cardiac silhouette is stably enlarged. Bilateral moderate pleural effusions are unchanged with associated bibasilar atelectasis. There are no new consolidations. There is no pneumothorax. .

You came to the hospital with abdominal pain. Your abdominal imaging showed acute appendicitis. You were brought to the operating room and had your appendix removed. There were no complications. Your pain is being controlled and you are tolerating your diet. You are ready for discharge home. Please continue your recovery at home by following the instructions 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.

Dear Ms. ___, You were admitted to the hospital from ___ because you had a syncopal episode in the ER, with low heart rate and blood pressure. When you came here your vital signs were stable, and the enzyme we check for people with heart attacks (troponin) were negative. You had some changes in your EKG, but since we didn't have a comparison, we didn't know if they were new. While in the hospital we watched your heart rate on telemetry and you didn't have any unusual rhythms or more syncopal episodes. We felt the episode was likely due to a vasovagal response, which can occur in times of emotional or physiologic stress such as your recent diarrhea. We feel it's important to diagnose what's causing your diarrhea, and feel it's safe for you to be discharged home to complete the colonoscopy on ___. Please follow up with your primary care physician on your appointment ___ they may recommend additional follow-up with cardiology, but we didn't feel the need to run additional cardiac tests during your admission. Please do not drive until you feel well again. Thank you for letting take part in your medical care. Sincerely, Your ___ Health Team

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAM: Chest frontal and lateral views. CLINICAL INFORMATION: For seizure. ___. FINDINGS: Frontal and lateral views of the chest were obtained. There is persistent blunting of the costophrenic angles and possible minimal pleural thickening bilaterally, which is unchanged in appearance since the prior study. Chain sutures are again seen overlying the right mid-to-lower hemithorax. Slight upper lobe patchy opacity are seen which could be due to aspiration or infection and are of indeterminate acuity. No pleural effusion is seen. There is no evidence of pneumothorax. The cardiac and mediastinal silhouettes are stable. Surgical clips are partially seen in the upper abdomen. Radiology Report HISTORY: Metastatic renal cell carcinoma, now with new onset of seizures. TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar multisequence MRI of the brain was obtained before and after the administration of IV gadolinium. The patient became agitated and a code purple was called. The patient was sedated and brought back to the MRI, however he continued to move, and the scan was aborted as the MPRAGE images were non diagnostic due to motion, and the T2 and FLAIR sequences were not completed. COMPARISON: CT head noncontrast of ___ and MRI of ___. FINDINGS: Please note that the T2, FLAIR and MPRAGE sequences were not acquired and the axial T1 post-contrast is limited due to motion, therefore the sensitivity of this study is decreased. There is no infarct or hemorrhage. There is no midline shift, masses, or abnormal enhancement. There is mild mucosal thickening of the ethmoid air cells. There is a left frontal cranioplasty. IMPRESSION: No infarct or hemorrhage. No evidence of abnormal enhancement or masses within the confines of the study. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ woman with metastatic renal cell carcinoma, history of left frontal bone metastasis resection and cranioplasty, now status post fall and seizure, with progressive worsening left frontal headache. COMPARISON: CT from ___ dated ___, and multiple prior head CTs and MRIs performed here. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT images were obtained through the brain without administration of IV contrast. Coronal, sagittal, and thin-section bone-algorithm reconstructed images were obtained. DLP: 1040 mGy-cm CTDIvol: 64 mGy FINDINGS: Left frontal cranioplasty is again seen. There is interval development of a small extra-axial hemorrhage overlying the brain at the cranioplasty site, not seen on the ___ CT one day earlier. There is no associated mass effect on the adjacent brain parenchyma. There is no parenchymal hemorrhage or edema. A small rounded hypodensity in the region of the right lentiform nucleus corresponds to a prominent perivascular space seen on prior MRIs. The ventricles and sulci are unchanged in size, within normal limits for age. Basal cisterns are patent. There is preservation of gray-white matter differentiation. No acute fracture is identified. Partial opacification of bilateral mastoid air cells and mild mucosal thickening within the right sphenoid sinus are unchanged from one day earlier. IMPRESSION: Interval development of a small extra-axial hemorrhage at the cranioplasty site, without mass effect on the adjacent brain. NOTIFICATION: Findings were discussed with Dr. ___ by Dr. ___ at 15:50 on ___ via telephone, 5 minutes following discovery.

Reformatted coronal, sagittal, thin slice axial images, and oblique maximal intensity projection images were submitted to PACS and reviewed. DOSE: DLP: 1798 mGy-cm COMPARISON: CTA torso ___ FINDINGS: CTA TORSO: Patient is status post type B aortic dissection repair with endovascular graft extending from just proximal to the left subclavian artery to the distal thoracic aorta. The left subclavian artery is excluded and not opacified proximally but reconstitutes approximately 3 cm distal with the remainder of the subclavian artery appearing opacified. Beyond the stent the dissection flap remains visible with grossly stable size of the false and true lumens. The celiac trunk, right and left renal arteries originating from the true lumen and are patent. There has been interval placement of a left proximal renal artery stent which appears patent (2:161). The patent ___ from the true lumen. The dissection flap ends approximately 8 cm from the aortic bifurcation. Tiny amount of thrombus adherent to the wall of the right jugular and brachiocephalic vein is noted not extending to the SVC (02:39). CT CHEST WITH CONTRAST: Thyroid is unremarkable. No lymphadenopathy. Scattered mediastinal lymph nodes are similar to prior not pathologically enlarged by CT size criteria. Heart size is normal without pericardial effusion. The main pulmonary arteries are enlarged up to 4.3 cm as before. There is atherosclerotic calcification of the coronary arteries most notably the LAD. The tracheobronchial tree is patent to the subsegmental level. There is no bronchial wall thickening. Lungs are clear without pleural effusion or pneumothorax. There is no worrisome pulmonary nodule or opacity. CT ABDOMEN WITH CONTRAST: The liver enhances normally without focal lesions. The gallbladder, spleen and pancreas are unremarkable. 1.2 cm hypodense nodule in the right adrenal gland is incompletely characterize but is statistically most likely a benign adrenal adenoma, unchanged since the prior study. The stomach, small and large bowel are normal in caliber without obstruction. There is no mesenteric retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. There is no free air or free fluid. There is a small fat containing paraumbilical hernia. CT PELVIS WITH CONTRAST: Small fat containing bilateral inguinal hernias. The urinary bladder, seminal vesicles and prostate are unremarkable. There is no pelvic wall or inguinal lymphadenopathy. OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: No worrisome blastic or lytic lesions. IMPRESSION: 1. Expected postoperative appearance following repair of type B aortic dissection. 2. The proximal neck vessels appear normal without evidence of dissection. The excluded left subclavian artery is occluded proximally but reconstitutes after approximately 3 cm. 3. The main arterial structures of the abdomen and pelvis are patent. Notably, the left renal stent is patent and both kidneys enhance symmetrically. 4. Tiny amount of thrombus adherent to the wall of the right brachiocephalic and jugular veins is noted (02:39) but does not extend to the SVC possibly secondary to previous central venous catheter. 5. Stable enlargement of the main pulmonary artery suggesting component of pulmonary hypertension. 6. 1.2 cm hypodense nodule in the right adrenal gland is incompletely characterized but is statistically most likely an adrenal adenoma. Attention can be paid on follow up imaging. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MR CERVICAL SPINE W/O CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ w HTN s/p TEVAR L renal artery stent ___ for type B aortic dissection, discharged 2 days ago, returns w focal neck pain. // focal tenderness focal tenderness TECHNIQUE: Patient was unable to tolerate a full examination examination. Only sagittal images of the cervical spine without contrast could be obtained COMPARISON: None FINDINGS: Limited exam as patient could not tolerate the full exam. Only sagittal sequences could be obtained. Alignment is normal. Vertebral body marrow signal is mildly heterogeneous likely reflecting degenerative change. There is mild loss of normal intervertebral disc signal. There is loss of normal intervertebral disc height at C6-C7. The spinal cord appears normal in caliber and configuration. There is a broad-based disc protrusion at C3-C4 with resulting mild spinal canal narrowing and broad-based disc protrusions at C5-C6 and C6-C7 with resulting moderate spinal canal narrowing. There is no abnormal cord signal detected but evaluation on inversion recovery images is limited due to artifacts. Increased signal in the interspinous region in the C7-T1 level appears artifactual. Mild increased signal between the spinous processes of C1 and C2 on inversion recovery images are nonspecific and may indicate mild ligamentous injury without disruption. . IMPRESSION: Limited examination. Multilevel degenerative changes most pronounced at C5-C6 and C6-C7. No abnormal cord signal detected. Increased signal between the spinous processes of C1 and C2 on inversion recovery images is nonspecific and may indicate mild ligamentous injury without disruption. Given the limited nature of examination, this could not be fully evaluated.

Multiple multiloculated pseudocysts are decreased in size since ___. No ascites. CXR ___ Preliminary Report IMPRESSION: A moderate-sized left pleural effusion with underlying atelectasis has decreased since ___. No focal opacity suggestive of pneumonia is seen. CT abd/chest ___ IMPRESSION: 1. Roughly 20 cm stretch of transverse colon beginning at the hepatic flexure with prominent wall thickening, edema and surrounding marked inflammatory change. This degree of findings with phlegmonous change with decreased size of an uncinate pancreatic pseudocyst is most suggestive of partial cyst rupture with leak of pancreatic enzyme contents across the mesocolon causing secondary inflammation. No frank abscess. Diverticulitis is hard to exclude but seems much likely as the etiology to describe the overall findings. 2. Transgastric catheter continues to drain the pancreatic tail pseudocyst, which is decreased in size compared to prior examination; a superior subphrenic extension, including an air-fluid level, persists but has also decreased. An uncinate process pseudocyst is also decreased in size; however, the now largest pancreatic head pseudocyst has intervally increased in size, and it may exert focal mass effect on the adjacent traversing duodenum. 3. Trace ascites likely secondary to inflammation. 4. Simple renal cyst. CT chest ___ Left greater than right bibasilar consolidations are similar to prior examination and could represent atelectasis; however, their pattern of hypoenhancement particularly at the left base is worrisome for pneumonia. A small to moderate left sided simple density pleural effusion has decreased in volume compared to prior study. CT abdomen: ___ IMPRESSION: 1. Increased organization of a phlegmon surrounding the proximal tranverse colon consistent with walled off fat necrosis. No discrete drainable abscess in this region. Known transverse colitis within this fat necrosis is unchanged. No free intraperitoneal air or pneumotosis. 2. Mild decrease in a subdiaphragmatic abcess. Drainage of this abscess would be difficult given its location and risk of infecting overlying pleural effusion. 3. Mild increase in a nonhemorragic left pleural effusion. 4. Mild decrease in size of the pancreatic head and uncinate pseudocysts. Increase in pancreatic body pseudocyst and stable pancreatic tail pseudocyst with a drainage catheter.

The largest remaining collection is within the pancreatic head and measures 5.3 x 3.7 cm (3:60), mildly increased in size compared to prior study where it measured 4.2 x 2.9 cm. An additional cystic collection suggesting a pseudocyst adjacent to the uncinate process measures 2.7 x 2.1 cm, decreased in size compared to a prior study (3:70), where it measured 3.2 x 2.8 cm. The remainder of the pancreatic parenchyma enhances homogeneously without evidence of necrosis. The mid splenic vein is again probably occluded or at least with markedly attenuated flow as it passes through a region of severe inflammatory changees, also noting omental collateral flow pathways. The IMV is minimally attenuated adjacent to the large pancreatic head pseudocyst, but appears patent. There is a roughly 20 cm stretch of transverse colon beginning at the hepatic flexure demonstrating prominent wall thickening with mural edema and diffuse surrounding area of marked expansile fat stranding measuring roughly 14.9 x 9.5 cm without distinct fluid collection. Fat stranding extends superiorly up to a suspected pseudocyst that has decreased in size over the short interval. There are a few colonic diverticula including in the region of affected mid transverse colon. A small portion of an adjacent ileal loop is mildly thickened, likely reactive. The distal large bowel is grossly unremarkable. There is no evidence of bowel obstruction. An upper enteric post-pyloric tube terminates in the proximal jejunum. The abdominal aorta is normal in caliber with grossly patent celiac axis, SMA, bilateral renal arteries and ___. There is no mesenteric or retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. There is a small fat-containing umbilical hernia. CT PELVIS WITH CONTRAST: A small amount of fluid layering within the pelvis likely is tracking from above. The uterus, adnexa, bladder and rectum are grossly unremarkable. There is no inguinal or pelvic wall lymphadenopathy by CT size criterion. BONE WINDOWS: There are no suspicious focal blastic or lytic lesions. IMPRESSION: 1. Roughly 20 cm stretch of transverse colon beginning at the hepatic flexure with prominent wall thickening, edema and surrounding marked inflammatory change. This degree of findings with phlegmonous change with decreased size of an uncinate pancreatic pseudocyst is most suggestive of partial cyst rupture with leak of pancreatic enzyme contents across the mesocolon causing secondary inflammation. No frank abscess. Diverticulitis is hard to exclude but seems much likely as the etiology to describe the overall findings. 2. Transgastric catheter continues to drain the pancreatic tail pseudocyst, which is decreased in size compared to prior examination; a superior subphrenic extension, including an air-fluid level, persists but has also decreased. An uncinate process pseudocyst is also decreased in size; however, the now largest pancreatic head pseudocyst has intervally increased in size, and it may exert focal mass effect on the adjacent traversing duodenum. 3. Trace ascites likely secondary to inflammation. 4. Simple renal cyst. Results were discussed over the telephone with Dr. ___ by Dr. ___ ___ at 3:20 p.m. on ___, five minutes after discovery. Radiology Report HISTORY: Pancreatitis with rising leukocytosis and cough with suspicion for abscess. COMPARISON: Numerous CT abdomen and pelvis studies dating from ___ through ___. TECHNIQUE: Axial helical MDCT images were obtained of the chest, abdomen and pelvis after the administration of IV and oral contrast. Abdomen and pelvis images were archived to a separate clip. Multiplanar reformatted images were generated in the coronal and sagittal planes as well as axial maximum intensity projection images. DLP for the total of chest, abdomen and pelvis acquisition is recorded on the separate abdomen and pelvis report. FINDINGS: CT CHEST WITH CONTRAST: The thyroid gland is unremarkable. The trachea is midline, and the airways are patent to the subsegmental level. Heart size is normal without significant pericardial effusion. The thoracic aortic arch and main pulmonary artery are normal in caliber. There is no central pulmonary embolus. There are no pathologically enlarged supraclavicular, axillary, hilar or mediastinal lymph nodes. Bibasilar left greater than right basal consolidations are similar compared to ___ however, the pattern of relative ___ is concerning for pneumonia. The small layering left-sided simple density pleural effusion has improved compared to a prior study. Motion artifact limits evaluation for a small nodularity. A 3 mm nodule in the lingula is unchanged compared to prior examination (4:126). This nodule has no concerning features and does not require further surveillance. No new nodule is identified. There is no pneumothorax. BONE WINDOWS: The thoracic cage is unremarkable without suspicious blastic or lytic lesion. IMPRESSION: 1. Left greater than right bibasilar consolidations are similar to prior examination and could represent atelectasis; however, their pattern of ___ particularly at the left base is worrisome for pneumonia. A small to moderate left sided simple density pleural effusion has decreased in volume compared to prior study. 2. Abdomen and pelvis findings are included on a separate report. Results were discussed over the telephone with Dr. ___ by Dr. ___ ___ at 3:20 p.m. on ___, five minutes after discovery. Radiology Report CHEST RADIOGRAPH HISTORY: PICC line placement. COMPARISONS: ___ radiograph and CT from ___. TECHNIQUE: Chest, semi-upright AP portable. FINDINGS: A new left-sided PICC line terminates in the mid superior vena cava. A feeding tube courses into the stomach. There are at least three double pigtail catheters in the left upper quadrant. A moderate left-sided pleural effusion is probably unchanged in size with patchy associated opacity suggesting minor atelectasis. There is no pneumothorax. IMPRESSION: New PICC line terminating in the superior vena cava. Radiology Report HISTORY: Pancreatitis and pseudocyst presents with fever found to have transverse colitis. Assess for developing abscess. COMPARISON: CT abdomen/ pelvis ___. ___ TECHNIQUE: Axial helical MDCT images were obtained from the suprasternal notch to the pubic symphysis after administration of IV and oral contrast. Multiplanar reformatted images in coronal and sagittal axis were generated FINDINGS: Heart and lungs: Limited assessment of the lung bases demonstrate no focal opacity. Again seen is a large nonhemorrhagic left pleural effusion which has mildly increased in size. Mild decrease in the subdiaphragmatic fluid collection with a peripheral enhancing irregular rim and locules of air which is consistent for an abscess. No pericardial effusion. Liver: The liver is homogeneous without focal opacity. No portal venous air or pneumobilia. No intrahepatic biliary duct dilatation. The gallbladder is thin walled with multiple calcified gallstones which are unchanged from prior study. The main portal vein and its major branches are patent. Pancreas: Again seen are multiple pseudocysts. There has been interval decrease in the pancreatic head pseudocyst which now measures 4.1 x 3.4 cm (previously 5.3 x 3.7 cm)(4:33) as well as a 2.5 x 2.1 cm (previously 2.7 x 2.1 cm) (4: 42) pseudocyst in the uncinate. The pseudocyst in the pancreatic body has slightly increased in size now measuring 1.8 x 1.0 cm (previously 1.3 x 0.5cm. Again seen is a drainage ___ is seen is tail pseudocyst which is unchanged in size and measures 2.7 x 1.2 cm (previously 2.9 x 1.2 cm)(4:27). No new focal solid or cystic lesions. No peripancreatic fat stranding. Adrenal gland: The adrenal glands are unremarkable. Spleen: The spleen is homogeneous and normal in size. The subdiaphragmatic abscess is superior and distinct from the spleen. Kidney: Again seen is a 2.7 x 2.3 cm (previously 2.8 x 2.3 when measured in a similar fashion) lobulated cyst in the left mid kidney. No additional focal cystic or solid lesions. Symmetric nephrograms and excretion of contrast. The proximal ureters are normal in caliber. No pelvocaliceal dilatation or perinephric stranding. GI: A feeding tube courses through the esophagus with the tip in the mid jejunum. The stomach is non distended. The duodenum, small bowel are normal in caliber without focal wall thickening or obstruction. Few diverticula without diverticulitis are noted in the sigmoid colon. The rectum, descending and distal transverse colon are normal in caliber without focal wall thickening, fat stranding, or mass lesion. Again seen is thickening of the proximal transverse colon bowel wall which is unchanged from prior study with preserved passage of contrast distally. Previously identified inflammation surrounding the proximal transverse colon is now more organized with enhancing internal vessels suggestive of walled off fat necrosis. No pneumatosis. Vascular: The descending aorta and its major branches are normal in caliber and patent. No aneurysmal dilatation of the descending aorta. The IVC, hepatic veins, splenic vein, SMV and renal veins are patent. Retroperitoneum and abdomen: No retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymph node enlargement by CT criteria. No ascites, free intraperitoneal air or abdominal wall hernia. Osseous structures: Mild degenerative changes of the lumbar spine is noted. No focal lytic or blastic lesions suspicious for malignancy. CT pelvis: Air is seen in the vagina. The bladder is decompressed and the terminal ureters are not visualized. No inguinal or pelvic wall lymph node enlargement. No pelvic free fluid. IMPRESSION: 1. Increased organization of a phlegmon surrounding the proximal tranverse colon consistent with walled off fat necrosis. No discrete drainable abscess in this region. Known transverse colitis within this fat necrosis is unchanged. No free intraperitoneal air or pneumotosis. 2. Mild decrease in a subdiaphragmatic abcess. Drainage of this abscess would be difficult given its location and risk of infecting overlying pleural effusion. 3. Mild increase in a nonhemorragic left pleural effusion. 4. Mild decrease in size of the pancreatic head and uncinate pseudocysts. Increase in pancreatic body pseudocyst and stable pancreatic tail pseudocyst with a drainage catheter.

There is increasing right pleural effusion with volume loss in the right lower lobe. No evidence of vascular congestion or acute focal pneumonia, though in the appropriate clinical setting it would be impossible to exclude consolidation at the right base, especially in the absence of a lateral view. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ year old woman with ? recurrent hepatic abscess // please review ___ ct scan and evaluate for recurrent hepatic abscess, fluid will need to be sent for cultures COMPARISON: Outside hospital CT torso from ___. PROCEDURE: Ultrasound-guided drainage of a right hepatic lobe collection. OPERATORS: Dr. ___ resident, Dr. ___ fellow, and Dr. ___ radiologist. Dr. ___ supervised the trainee during the key components of the procedure and reviewed and agree 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 table. Limited preprocedure ultrasound was performed to localize the collection. Based on the ultrasound findings an appropriate skin entry site for the aspiration was chosen. The site was marked. Local anesthesia was administered with 1% Lidocaine solution. Using continuous sonographic guidance, 18G ___ needle was advanced via trocar technique into the collection. Approximately 4 cc of thick clear yellow fluid was aspirated and sent for microbiology evaluation. The needle was then removed and a sterile dressing applied. The procedure was tolerated well, and there were no immediate post-procedural complications. SEDATION: Monitored anesthesia care with an anesthesiologist present, per the patient's request. FINDINGS: Septated fluid collection in the inferior right hepatic lobe. IMPRESSION: Successful US-guided aspiration of a right hepatic lobe fluid collection. Sample was sent for microbiology evaluation. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ year old woman with pleural effusion s/p chest tube insertion // assess chest tube location TECHNIQUE: AP portable chest radiograph COMPARISON: ___ FINDINGS: Right chest wall power injectable Port-A-Cath is present as well as a left PICC line, both tips, projecting over the right atrium. A right pleural catheter projects over the right mid/lower hemithorax. There is no significant interval change in the moderate right pleural effusion with adjacent atelectasis. No pneumothorax identified. The left lung is clear. This size appearance of the cardiac silhouette is unchanged. IMPRESSION: Interval placement of a right chest tube which projects over the right mid to lower hemithorax. No significant interval change in the moderate right pleural effusion. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST (PORTABLE AP) INDICATION: new chest tube placed ___ // evaluate position of chest tube on morning of ___. please obtain this CXR between 5:00 and 5:45 am TECHNIQUE: Single frontal view of the chest COMPARISON: ___. IMPRESSION: Right base pigtail catheter is in place. There is no evident pneumothorax. Now small right effusion has markedly decreased. No other interval change from prior study. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ year old woman with dark brown vomiting // concern for small bowel obstruction TECHNIQUE: Upright and supine radiograph view of the abdomen. The upright image does not include portions of the lower abdomen or the pelvis. COMPARISON: Abdominal radiograph dated ___. CT torso dated ___ from an outside facility and uploaded onto PACS. FINDINGS: Mildly dilated air-filled loops of small bowel in the left lower and mid abdomen persist and are similar to the prior radiograph and CT. No evidence of pneumatosis or free air. No air fluid levels identified on limited upper abdomen upright view. There is a right lower quadrant ileostomy. There is moderate stool in the descending colon. Bilateral percutaneous nephrostomy tubes appear in place. 4 biliary stents appear unchanged. Surgical clips from cholecystectomy are unchanged. No unexplained soft tissue calcifications or radiopaque foreign bodies. An 1.8-cm round, sclerotic lesion appears benign, unchanged. A right pigtail drain projects over the right lower hemithorax. Opacity and silhouetting of the right hemidiaphragm is likely residual effusion and atelectasis seen on prior CT. Opacities in the left lung base may be atelectasis. A central line in the SVC probably ending near the SVC-RA junction is partially imaged. IMPRESSION: Mildly dilated air-filled small bowel loops in the mid-left lower quadrant, similar to prior CT and radiograph could be early small bowel obstruction. Close attention on follow-up. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT CHEST W/O CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ year old woman with metastatic appendiceal cancer and recurrent R pleural effusion // assess for trapped lung/impaired expansion after chest tube placement TECHNIQUE: Multi detector helical scanning of the chest was reconstructed as 5 and 1.25 mm thick axial, 2.5 mm thick coronal and parasagittal, and 8 mm MIP axial images. Contrast agent was not administered. All images were reviewed. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Spiral Acquisition 6.3 s, 33.6 cm; CTDIvol = 6.5 mGy (Body) DLP = 221.2 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Body) = 221 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: Chest CT ___. FINDINGS: Right pleural drainage tube inserted low laterally is largely curled in the major fissure. Residual right pleural fluid volume is small, generally dependent, some fissural. Parietal pleural thickening of the right lower posterior pleura is smooth, slightly greater than it was on ___ when a small nonhemorrhagic pleural effusion layered posteriorly. Pleural thickening along the lateral costal surface, 03:25, is greater than it was previously, associated with a loculation of non serous pleural fluid. Supraclavicular and axillary lymph nodes are not enlarged. Specifically excluding the breasts which require mammography for evaluation, there is no soft tissue abnormality in the chest wall suspicious for malignancy. Edema in the right posterior thoracoabdominal chest wall is new. Small left pleural effusion and small pericardial effusion have also developed. Volume of the right pneumothorax is small. Emphysema is moderately severe. Several small regions of lung abnormality have developed since ___, most of which are probably atelectasis, most notably at the right lung base, but a region of peribronchial opacification in the anterior segment of the right upper lobe, 5:157, and a smaller region in the anterior segment of the left upper lobe, 5:143 could be pneumonia. Nearly the entire esophagus is severely distended with fluid to the level of the gastroesophageal junction. Assessment of swallowing function her and exclusion of stricture or subtle mass would require fluoroscopic observation of a contrast swallow or direct inspection. In any case, the condition puts the patient at risk for aspiration. CHEST CAGE, ESPECIALLY THE THORACIC SPINE, IS SEVERELY OSTEOPENIC, BUT THERE IS NO COMPRESSION FRACTURE, PATHOLOGIC FRACTURE, OR CLEARLY DESTRUCTIVE BONE METASTASIS. IMPRESSION: PERSISTENT SMALL POSSIBLY LOCULATED RIGHT PLEURAL EFFUSION SMALL PNEUMOTHORAX, FOLLOWING INSERTION OF RIGHT PLEURAL DRAINAGE CATHETER, LARGELY FISSURAL. MODERATE VOLUME OF RIGHT LOWER LOBE ATELECTASIS IS NEW SINCE ___. SEVERE DISTENTION AND RETENTION OF FLUID IN OF THE ESOPHAGUS PUTS THE PATIENT AT RISK FOR ASPIRATION. SMALL AREAS OF LIKELY NEW PNEUMONIA. NEW MILD ANASARCA. EMPHYSEMA. NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed with ___, M.D. by ___ ___, M.D. on the telephone on ___ at 5:20 ___, 1 minutes after discovery of the findings.

PANCREAS: The pancreas has normal attenuation throughout, without evidence of focal lesions or pancreatic ductal dilatation. There is no peripancreatic stranding. SPLEEN: There is similar appearance of numerous peripheral wedge shaped perfusion defects in the spleen, compatible with splenic infarcts. 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. No focal renal lesions are seen. There is mild persistent right hydronephrosis which has decreased in time since ___. Bilateral percutaneous nephrostomy tubes are in appropriate positioning. There is no perinephric abnormality. GASTROINTESTINAL: The stomach is collapsed. There are a few mildly dilated loops of small bowel in the midline which contain air and fluid measuring up to 4.8 cm, similar compared to prior studies. The patient is status post right colectomy with anastomosis in the right upper quadrant. There is a right lower quadrant colostomy. There is no evidence of obstruction or parastomal hernia. PELVIS: The bladder is thick walled which may be related to underdistention or tumor involvement. Again seen is a lobulated mass in the posterior aspect of the bladder with loss of the normal fat plane between the posterior bladder wall, vagina, and rectum. There is a trace amount of free fluid in the pelvis. REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS: No large adnexal mass is seen. LYMPH NODES: Again seen is prominent retroperitoneal adenopathy with a prominent left periaortic lymph node measuring 1.4 cm, previously 1.3 cm (04:34). There is no inguinal or pelvic lymphadenopathy. There is no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. VASCULAR: There is no abdominal aortic aneurysm. Moderate atherosclerotic disease is noted. BONES: There is no evidence of worrisome osseous lesions or acute fracture. SOFT TISSUES: The abdominal and pelvic wall is within normal limits. IMPRESSION: 1. Again seen are four common bile duct metal stents. Compared to ___, there is decreased intrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation in the portion of the hepatic parenchyma drained by the left biliary stent. There is also new pneumobilia in this region. Mild hyperenhancement of the hepatic parenchymal in this region is favored to represent either cholestatic hepatitis or cholangitis. 2. There is persistent intrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation in the segments drained by the right anterior stent. Again seen in this region is a resolving biloma/abscess which is similar in size compared to ___. 3. No significant intrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation is noted in the areas drained by the other 2 right-sided biliary stents. 4. Similar to mildly decreased size of a segment 8 hypodensity, compatible with resolving abscess. No new hepatic lesion is seen. 5. Mild persistent right hydronephrosis is slightly decreased compared to prior studies. There is no left hydronephrosis. The bilateral percutaneous nephrostomy tubes are in appropriate position. 6. Similar appearance of multiple splenic hypodensities, compatible with infarcts. 7. Diffusely thickened bladder wall may be related to under distension and tumor involvement, however clinical correlation to exclude cystitis is recommended. 8. Similar appearance of persistent posterior bladder mass with loss of rectal fat plane worrisome for metastatic involvement. 9. Similar appearance of retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. 10. Bilateral pleural effusions and patchy nodular airspace opacity in the lung bases, right middle lobe, and lingula were better evaluated on the dedicated CT of the chest from ___. Please see that report for further details. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ year old woman with adenocarcinoma and biliary obstruction // PTBD COMPARISON: CT abdomen pelvis on ___.

Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MR ___ INDICATION: ___ w/ unresectable neuroendocrine tumor in the mesentery who presented to OSH with complaints nausea and vomiting thought to be ___ to a SBO.// Please evaluate for bowel obstruction TECHNIQUE: T1 and T2-weighted multiplanar images of the abdomen and pelvis were acquired within a 1.5 T magnet, including 3D dynamic sequences performed prior to, during, and following the administration of 0.1 mmol/kg of Gadavist intravenous contrast (6 cc). Oral contrast consisted of 900 mL of VoLumen. 1.0 mg of Glucagon was administered IM to reduce bowel peristalsis. COMPARISON: CT abdomen/pelvis ___. FINDINGS: MR ENTEROGRAPHY: Small bowel motility appears unremarkable. There is re-demonstration of proximally dilated small bowel loops measuring up to 4.3 cm in caliber. The distal small bowel loops are under distended in a similar fashion when compared to the ___ with a transition point in the right lower quadrant (series 13, image 65) where the small-bowel loops are tethered to the mesenteric mass. The degree of dilatation has not significantly changed. There is mild submucosal edema of the distal most dilated small bowel loops just proximal to the transition point, the degree of which is not changed from the CT examination. There is also mild mucosal hypoenhancement when compared to the remaining small bowel loops, which may indicate vascular compromise. The draining veins of these bowel loops appear mildly engorged when compared to the rest of the mesenteric veins. These findings are secondary to the spiculated homogeneously enhancing mass centered around the root of the small bowel mesentery inferior to the pancreatic head and encircling the SMA and SMV where it causes marked luminal narrowing. This mass collectively measures 5.9 x 7 x 9.6 cm. There are associated enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes that have not changed in size. MRI OF THE ABDOMEN WITH AND WITHOUT IV CONTRAST: There is moderate amount of ascites that has not changed. There is an 8 mm hypoenhancing lesion along the dome of the right hepatic lobe, incompletely evaluated. This is too small to be seen on the previous CT. Gallbladder appears unremarkable. Portal vein is patent. There is no splenomegaly. There is no pancreatic ductal dilatation. The mass is inferior to the pancreatic head. There is no hydronephrosis. Left adrenal gland appears unremarkable. There are moderate size bilateral pleural effusions. IMPRESSION: 1. Evidence of unchanged distal small-bowel obstruction secondary to the central mesenteric mass as described above. 2. Unchanged edema and mucosal hypoenhancement of the most distal dilated small bowel loops proximal to the transition point concerning for vascular compromise. Evidence of marked luminal narrowing of the SMV and SMA. 3. Moderate amount pleural effusions and large amount of intra-abdominal ascites. 4. Unchanged central mesenteric mass biopsy-proven neuroendocrine tumor with associated mesenteric adenopathy. 5. 8 mm hypoenhancing right hepatic lobe lesion, incompletely evaluated and remains indeterminate. This can be followed on subsequent imaging. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: ULTRASOUND-GUIDED PARACENTESIS INDICATION: ___ w/ unresectable neuroendocrine tumor in the mesentery who presented to OSH with complaints nausea and vomiting thought to be ___ to a SBO. Has had refractory ascites since cancer diagnosis requiring weekly paracentesis, due tomorrow.// Therapeutic paracentesis. Diagnostic to determine if truly chylous ascites (concern per pt's description). Also serum-to-ascites albumin gradient, cell count and differential, culture, total protein and cytology. TECHNIQUE: Ultrasound guided diagnostic and therapeutic paracentesis COMPARISON: Outside facility CT abdomen and pelvis ___ FINDINGS: Limited grayscale ultrasound imaging of the abdomen demonstrated a large amount of ascites. A suitable target in the deepest pocket in the right lower quadrant was selected for paracentesis. PROCEDURE: The procedure, risks, benefits and alternatives were discussed with the patient and written informed consent was obtained. A preprocedure time-out was performed discussing the planned procedure, confirming the patient's identity with 3 identifiers, and reviewing a checklist per ___ protocol. Under ultrasound guidance, an entrance site was selected and the skin was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. 1% lidocaine was instilled for local anesthesia. A 5 ___ catheter was advanced into the largest fluid pocket in the right lower quadrant and 3.5 L of blood-tinged, slightly cloudy fluid were removed. Fluid samples were submitted to the laboratory for cell count, differential, culture, and cytology. Please note that according to patient, the previously drained fluid looked very 'milky or milk-shake like' and different in appearance compared to fluid retrieved on this paracentesis. The patient tolerated the procedure well without immediate complication. Estimated blood loss was minimal. Dr. ___ supervised the trainee during the key components of the procedure and reviewed and agrees with the trainee's findings. IMPRESSION: 1. Technically successful ultrasound guided diagnostic and therapeutic paracentesis. 2. 3.5 L of thin milky pink fluid were removed. Fluid samples were submitted to the laboratory for cell count, differential, culture, and cytology.

Dear Mr. ___, You were admitted to the hospital with nausea/vomiting and found to have a small bowel obstruction due to your pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. In addition to your primary medicine team, the surgery, hepatology and gastroenterology teams also evaluated you. For the small bowel obstruction, your symptoms improved, and surgery decided based on the imaging and your symptoms that it is reasonable to wait to do a bypass. Please go to the follow up appointment with them. For your ascites, the hepatology team evaluated and felt that it was unlikely due to underlying cirrhosis and more likely due to portal hypertension as well as lymph node system obstruction. We did a paracentesis and will notify you of the results. In addition to your surgery follow up appointment, we also scheduled a follow up appointment with your oncologist and primary care doctor. It was a pleasure taking care of you! Sincerely, Your ___ team

Chief Complaint: intertrochanteric hip fracture Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: ORIF of hip History of Present Illness: ___ y/o F with hx of ESRD on HD ___, HTN, moderate AS, and bifasicular block who presents with a fall leading to R intertrochanteric hip fracture and is transferred to the MICU for respiratory status monitoring after general anesthesia. Patient was home after HD and fell face forward after getting up from the chair due to hx of imbalance and lightheadedness after HD. No LOC, +head strike, remembers event of the fall. Family denies any chest pain, shortness of breath, or any other recent complaints. She was brought to OSH where she was found to have R intertrochanteric hip fracture. CT head and c-spine were negative. She was transferred to BI for orthopedic intervention. She reportedly had palpitations and progressive dyspnea, and a pre-operative TTE on ___ revealed mild/moderate aortic stenosis with a valve area of 1.7, elevated PASP around 60mmHg, mild mitral stenosis. She subsequently went to the OR for ORIF. She received 1U PRBCs intraoperatively. She did not tolerate spinal block thus the procedure was done under general anesthesia. She was hypotensive during the case to 70/30 and was transfused 1U PRBCs, given 1300mL IVF, and started on phenylephrine. She remained intubated given general anesthesia and intraoperative fluid shifts, so she is transferred to the care of the MICU team post-op. On arrival to the MICU, patient is intubated and sedated but hemodynamically stable.

COMPARISON: MR ___ reference examination available from ___. TECHNIQUE: MDCT-acquired 2.5-mm axial images of the neck were obtained following the uneventful administration of 70 cc of Omnipaque intravenous contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations were performed at 2-mm slice thickness. FINDINGS: The patient is post anterior fusion of C5/6 (301B:55). Vertebral disc spacer prosthesis is present. There is no acute fracture or traumatic malalignment of the cervical spine. No prevertebral soft tissue abnormalities are seen. Centered about the left T2 lamina is a large heterogeneously enhancing soft tissue mass measuring up to 5.9 x 5.3 cm, better appreciated on the CT torso examination performed on the same day (2:70), demonstrating extensive cortical destruction of the posterior left paramedial T1, T2, and T3 vertebral bodies, with involvement of the costovertebral junction, short segments of the left first through third ribs, the left T2 and T3 lamina and spinous processes, and the left T1 through 3 neural foramen. There is encroachment of the spinal canal with abutment against the cord at the T2 and T3 levels (2:70).There is about 50% narrowing of the spinal canal and displacement of the thecal sac to the right. Included views of the brain parenchyma are unremarkable. Aerosolized secretions are seen within the maxillary sinuses, worse on the right (2:15). The middle ear cavities and mastoid air cells are clear. The parotid and submandibular glands are symmetric in size and appear normal. No cervical lymphadenopathy is seen. The thyroid is normal. There are moderate atherosclerotic calcifications at the carotid bifurcations (2:46). Prominent prevascular lymph nodes and an enlarged subcarinal node (2:90) are incompletely seen, better appreciated on the CT torso examination. IMPRESSION: 1. Destructive soft tissue mass arising from the T2 left lamina extending to the T1 through T3 posterior left paramedial vertebral bodies, with involvement of the T1 through T3 costovertebral junction, towards segments of the left first through third ribs, and left T1 through T3 neural foramen. 2. Encroachment of the mass into the spinal cord at the T2 and T3 levels, with abutment against the cord. 3. No cervical lymphadenopathy. 4. Moderate maxillary sinusitis with acute features. 5. Post C5/6 anterior cervical fusion. Radiology Report EXAM: CT-guided soft tissue biopsy. COMPARISON: CT Torso, ___. MEDICATIONS: Fentanyl 100 mcg, Versed 2 mg, 10ml 1% Lidocaine. Moderate sedation was provided by administering divided doses of fentanyl and Versed throughout the total intraservice time of 20 minutes during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored. PHYSICIANS: Dr. ___ Dr. ___. TECHNIQUE: Informed consent was obtained. A final timeout was performed. The patient was scanned in prone position in the area of interest. The area over the planned tract was prepped and draped. The skin and tract were anesthetized using 1% lidocaine. An 18-gauge ___ needle was advanced to the lesion, and using a 17-gauge Bard biopsy device, two samples were obtained. These were deemed adequate by cytology onsite. The needle and trocar were removed. Manual pressure was used for hemostasis. The patient tolerated the procedure well without complication. Complications: None Sample: Core Biopsy (2) IMPRESSION: Successful thoracic mass biopsy. Radiology Report STUDY: MRI of the cervical spine, second opinion readout. CLINICAL INDICATION: ___ man with history of low back pain, presurgical evaluation. COMPARISON: Prior CT of the neck and torso dated ___. TECHNIQUE: This examination was performed on ___ at an outside institution (Shields MRI, ___ MRI and CT Center). Sagittal T1, T2 and proton density images were submitted for interpretation and also axial 3D T2, axial T2-weighted images. FINDINGS: The left parotid gland is not clearly identified, however, appears present in the CT of the neck dated ___. The visualized elements of the posterior fossa and the craniocervical junction are grossly unremarkable. Small rounded hyperintense area is noted in the posterior aspect of the right parotid gland, likely consistent with a small intraparotid nodule (image #23, series #8). The signal intensity throughout the cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord appears normal with no evidence of focal or diffuse lesions to indicate the spinal cord edema. The patient is status post anterior fusion from C4/C5 through C6/C7 levels. The fixation hardware is causing significant susceptibility artifacts, however, there is no evidence of significant spinal canal stenosis at the surgical site. At C2/C3 level, both neural foramina are patent and there is no evidence of spinal canal stenosis. At C3/C4, there is a mild posterior osteophytic disc bulge complex formation, causing minimal anterior thecal sac deformity as well as mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing (image #28, series #7). At C4/C5, there is mild posterior disc bulging and bilateral uncinate process hypertrophy, causing mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing, there is no evidence of central spinal canal stenosis. At C5/C6 level, the patient is status post fusion and discectomy, significant metallic artifact obscures the anatomical details, there is mild left and moderate right neural foraminal narrowing, and there is no evidence of significant spinal canal stenosis. At C6/C7 level, the patient is status post anterior fusion, metal artifact also obscures the anatomical details, however, it is possible to identify mild bilateral uncovertebral hypertrophy, causing mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing (image #13, series #7). At C7/T1 level, there is no evidence of neural foraminal narrowing or spinal canal stenosis. There is mild-to-moderate posterior epidural lipomatosis visualized from C7 throughout the upper thoracic spine. In comparison with the CT of the neck dated ___, again a large expansile mass lesion arising from the T2 left lamina and extending to T1 through T3 levels is identified. This lesion demonstrates an intermediate T1 and T2 isointense signal with some areas with heterogeneous signal and is causing significant narrowing of the left T1, T2, and T2/T3 neural foramina. This lesion is also causing canal compromise and is displacing the thecal sac towards the right (image #1, series #8). No frank evidence of edema is noted within the cervical or thoracic spinal cord. There is no evidence of lymphadenopathy or enlarged lymph nodes by radiological criteria. A small T2 hyperintense focus is demonstrated in the posterior margin of the right thyroid lobe (image #12, series #8), measuring approximately 5 x 4 mm in size. IMPRESSION: 1. Large expansile mass lesion involving the posterior left paramedial vertebral bodies from T1 through T3 levels as described in detail above, causing left-sided neural foraminal narrowing at T1/T2, T2/T3 levels and also left paracentral canal narrowing and impinging the thecal sac posteriorly, no frank evidence of spinal cord edema is demonstrated. 2. The differential diagnosis for this lesion includes metastatic disease, myeloma may have similar appearance. 2. Small cystic-appearing formation noted in the posterior lobe of the thyroid gland on the right, there is also a small area of cystic signal on the posterior aspect of the right parotid gland, possibly consistent with a small intraparotid lymph node or cystic formation. 3. The patient is status post anterior fusion and discectomy at C5/C6 level.
