FINDINGS: Treatment bed: There is a peripherally enhancing mass of the left true vocal cord, extending into the laryngeal ventricle, worrisome for recurrent tumor, postradiation change or combination. Lesion involving true vocal cord is concerning for tumor recurrence. Overall, abnormality measures approximately 1.6 x 1.9 cm, has thin peripheral enhancement. Infiltration of paralaryngeal space, left greater than right, may represent tumor involvement or posttreatment change. Body low-density edema and thickening of the left aryepiglottic fold, posterior margin of left epiglottis, fullness in the hypopharynx nearby, has appearance of reactive/posttreatment edema, posttraumatic change, or sequela of systemic process such as allergic reaction. No cartilage invasion. There is tracheal wall thickening, likely post treatment/tracheitis. Edema in the strap muscles, about anterior thyroid gland, left greater than right, may represent posttraumatic changes secondary to recent intubation, or posttreatment change, no nodular soft tissue to suggest tumor. Lymph nodes: Multiple left level 3 cervical lymph nodes are subcentimeter in size mostly with fatty hilum, likely reactive. A single left level 3 cervical lymph node measures 9 mm and is morphologically suspicious, which may represent metastatic involvement, it has peripheral lobulated margins, and if it is positive for tumor likely represents extracapsular tumor spread.. Stable size level 1A lymph node Stable since ___ are multifocal small lung nodules, some of ___ appearance, suggestive of inflammatory in or infectious process, RB ILD the or mucous plugging. There is a 1.2 cm thyroid nodule in the lower pole of the left thyroid lobe (301:152), which does not require additional follow-up. Neck vessels are patent. IMPRESSION: 1.

PROCEDURE: The patient was brought from is room directly down to the angiography suite. ___ language interpreter was available per the patient's request and remained to train slight instructions throughout the entirety of the procedure. The patient was laid supine on the fluoroscopy table. Bilateral groins were prepped and draped in the usual sterile manner. A separate radiology nurse provided conscious sedation throughout the entirety of the procedure, an monitor the patient's hemodynamic and respiratory parameters. Institutional time-out procedure was performed per guidelines. Next the patient's right mid femoral head was located using anatomic and radiographic landmarks. A 10 cc of 1% lidocaine was infused into the subcutaneous tissue. A micropuncture kit was used to gain access to the right femoral artery, serial dilation was undertaken until a long 6 ___ groin sheath to be placed under direct fluoroscopic visualization. This was connected to a continuous heparinized saline flush. Next the ___ 2 catheter was connected to an RHV in the continuous heparinized saline drip and also to the power injector. The catheter was advanced over the 0.038 glidewire, reformatted in the left subclavian artery, and used to select the right common carotid artery. Road mapping cervical biplane imaging was undertaken. Followed by intracranial biplane and magnified biplane oblique imaging. Next the catheter was reformatted in used to select the left common carotid artery. Road map cervical biplane imaging was undertaken. Next imaging of the intracranial biplane and magnified biplane oblique views were taken from the left common carotid artery. Next the catheter was reformatted in used to select the right innominate artery followed by the right subclavian artery and finally the right vertebral artery. Cervical biplane, ___ and lateral, magnified biplane oblique and 3D angiography with separate processing on a separate 3D workstation for physician interpretation results for final diagnosis was undertaken. Under direct fluoroscopy, gentle puffs of contrast was administered in demonstrated no damage to the right vertebral artery, the catheter was pulled back into the subclavian artery and then reformatted in then used to select the left subclavian artery followed by the left vertebral artery. Next cervical biplane, ___ and lateral, magnified biplane oblique, 3D rotational angiography with separate processing on a separate 3D workstation for physician interpretation of results of imaging was undertaken. Next under direct fluoroscopic visualization, gentle puffs of contrast were administered as the catheter was pulled out of the left vertebral artery, this does not demonstrate evidence of dissection or thrombus. Finally the catheter was fully removed from the patient's body. AP projection of the right femoral artery demonstrated the level the groin puncture to be suitable for closure device utilization. A 6 ___ Angio-Seal device was deployed which results in excellent hemostasis. At the conclusion of the procedure, the patient was that is neurologic baseline. ___ was subsequently transferred to his hospital bed and brought back up to term for convalescence. There is no evidence of thromboembolic complication at the conclusion of the case. FINDINGS: In the right common carotid artery injections: The carotid bifurcations well-visualized, there is no significant atherosclerosis or carotid stenosis. In the intracranial projections, the distal right ICA, proximal and distal ACA and MCA branches are well-visualized. Vessel caliber is smooth and tapering. There is no evidence of aneurysm, abnormal arteriovenous shunting, or early venous drainage. Of the ECA vessels visualized, there is no evidence of abnormal extracranial to intracranial anastomosis or fistula. In the left common carotid artery injections: The carotid bifurcations are well-visualized, there is no evidence of significant atherosclerosis carotid bulb disease. In the intracranial projections, the distal left ICA, proximal distal ACA and MCA branches are well-visualized. Vessel caliber smooth and tapering. There is no evidence of aneurysm, abnormal arteriovenous shunting, or early venous drainage. Of the ECA vessels visualized, there is no evidence of an abnormal extracranial to intracranial anastomosis or fistula. In the right vertebral artery injections: The cervical portion vertebral artery does not demonstrate any significant stenosis or tortuosity. The right vertebral artery, right ___, basilar artery, bilateral SCA and PCA vessels are well-visualized. In the region of the distal right SCA, there is a small bleb on the AP projection, there appears to be a vessel loop when correlated with 3D imaging and also with the lateral projections. Vessel caliber is otherwise smooth and tapering, there is no evidence of vertebral artery dissection. There is also some reflux into the left vertebral artery just proximal to the ___, there appears to be irregularity within this segment of the vessel. Followup angiography if from the left vertebral artery was subsequently undertaken. In the left vertebral artery injections: The cervical portion of the vertebral artery does not demonstrate any significant stenosis or tortuosity. The left vertebral artery, left ___, basilar artery, bilateral SCA and PCA vessels are well-visualized. Just distal to the left ___ takeoff, there is a string on bead appearance of the vertebral artery concerning for potential dissection. Multiple views were undertaken of this along with 3D rotational angiography, there is no evidence of flow limitation, are dissection flap, there is also no contrast stasis. When correlated with the patient's initial CT scan, the intercerebral hemorrhage was all parenchymal without evidence of subarachnoid component in clearly also in the right cerebellar hemisphere. Is unclear the exact significance of this left vertebral artery irregularity finding. Although a it seems unlikely that it is directly related the patient's intercerebral hemorrhage. However given this finding with concern for potential dissection, this area will need to be continually watch with followup imaging in the near future. In the right femoral artery injections: The level of the groin puncture is distal to the inferior epigastrics and proximal to the bifurcation, there is good distal run-off. IMPRESSION: 1. Focal string on bead appearance of the left vertebral artery just distal to the ___ takeoff. This likely represents an area of dissection. Its exact correlation and significance the with the patient's known right cerebellar hemorrhage is unclear. We will need to follow this region of dissection carefully with serial followup imaging. 2. No other aneurysms, or abnormal arteriovenous, or fistulous connection was identified that could be causative of the patient's right cerebellar hemorrhage. I, Dr. ___ was personally present, supervised, and participated in the key portions of the procedure. ___ is also reviewed the above images and agrees with the interpretation. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: BILAT LOWER EXT VEINS INDICATION: ___ year old man with bedrest and tachycardia, evaluate for DVT TECHNIQUE: Grey scale, color, and spectral Doppler evaluation was performed on the bilateral lower extremity veins. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: There is normal compressibility, flow and augmentation of the bilateral common femoral, superficial femoral, and popliteal veins. Normal color flow and compressibility are demonstrated in the posterior tibial and peroneal veins. There is normal respiratory variation in the common femoral veins bilaterally.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report INDICATION: Acute shortness of breath. COMPARISON: Chest radiograph from ___. FINDINGS: There is new pulmonary vascular cephalization and mild interstitial pulmonary edema, compared to the prior radiograph from ___. Atelectasis in the right middle lobe is substantial No pneumothorax or large pleural effusion is seen. Mild cardiomegaly is chronic. The mediastinal contours are otherwise normal. Multiple surgical clips project over the left mid-to-upper abdomen. There is levoscoliosis of the thoracolumbar spine. IMPRESSION: 1. New mild interstitial pulmonary edema. Chronic mild cardiomegaly. 2. New right middle lobe atelectasis. Radiology Report INDICATION: Hypertension, history of pulmonary embolism, presenting with dyspnea and new oxygen requirement. Evaluate for pulmonary embolus. COMPARISON: Comparison is made to CT torso performed ___ and chest radiograph performed ___. TECHNIQUE: Intravenous contrast was administered, and arterial phase imaging was acquired. Coronal, sagittal, and oblique reformats were provided. FINDINGS: CTA CHEST: Pulmonary vasculature is well opacified and without filling defect to suggest embolus. The main pulmonary artery is enlarged measuring 4.2 cm in maximal dimension suggesting pulmonary arterial hypertension. Minimal atherosclerotic calcification is noted within the thoracic aorta without aneurysm or dissection. Extensive vascular calcifications are also noted within the coronary vasculature. Heart size is normal and without pericardial effusion. CT CHEST: Multiple non-pathologically enlarged lymph nodes are identified within the mediastinum. Bronchial walls are thickened, but overall airways are patent. Multiple millimetric predominantly subpleural centrilobular nodules are identified including a slightly more prominent cluster in the right middle lobe (2:40). There is a somewhat mosaic pattern of attenuation of the pulmonary parenchyma which can be related to phase of expiration, but given thickened airways and tiny nodules, findings are most in keeping with bronchitis/bronchiolitis. There are bilateral small non-hemorrhagic pleural effusions with adjacent compressive atelectasis. Incomplete assessment of the upper abdomen demonstrates an lobulated hypodensity in the right hepatic lobe, unchanged compared to ___ and likely representing an irregular hepatic cyst versus biliary hamartoma. The remainder of the liver is unremarkable. The gallbladder demonstrates gallbladder wall calcification in the fundus, unchanged compared to ___. There is an interdigitating fat evident in the visualized aspects of the pancreas without pancreatic duct dilatation. The spleen is unremarkable. Incidental note is made of a gastric diverticulum, unchanged compared to ___. No suspicious lytic or blastic lesions identified. Multilevel degenerative change is evident. IMPRESSION: 1. No pulmonary embolism or aortic pathology. 2. Enlarged main pulmonary artery suggests pulmonary arterial hypertension. 3. Thickened bronchial walls with innumerable millimetric predominantly subpleural centrilobular nodules, likely reflecting a bronchiolitis picture.

Mr. ___, It was a pleasure taking care of you during your hospitalization. You were admitted with concern for an issue with your gallbladder. However, when you arrived to BID your pain had resolved and you did not show signs of infection. Your liver function and gallbladder function tests were normalized. We do think you possibly had a gallbladder stone that was lodged in your draining system, but this has since passed. An ERCP (endoscopy) was considered but due to your heart risks it was not needed unless emergent/urgent. There is a chance you could develop symptoms again. If you develop sudden pain again that lasts for >4 hours, is accompanied by nausea/vomiting, fever, or yellowing of the skin or eyes, please call return to the ED. Weigh yourself every morning, call MD if weight goes up more than 3 lbs. Please continue your salt restriction and current cardiac medications.

Dear Mr. ___, It was a pleasure taking care of you at ___ ___. You were admitted for pain in your neck and chest, and given your changes on electrocardiogram, we were concerned for a problem with blood flow to your heart. A cardiac catheterization was performed which showed 2 blockages in your arteries. These were stented with 2 bare metal stents. Your symptoms resolved and you were monitored after the procedure. Additionally, you received 3 units of PRBCs during this admission for a low blood count. Please make the following changes to your medications: START Aspirin 325mg daily START Plavix 75mg daily STOP Omeprazole as this can interfere with Plavix, an important medication to prevent blood clots forming around the new drug eluting stent. START Ranitidine 150mg daily. This medication works similarly as omeprazole and so has been substituted for it.

Activity Status: Ambulatory - requires assistance or aid (walker or cane). Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report CHEST, TWO VIEWS: ___. HISTORY: ___ male with acute renal failure. Question CHF. FINDINGS: The lungs are hyperinflated but clear of consolidation. There are small bilateral pleural effusions. There is no evidence of pulmonary vascular congestion. Cardiomediastinal silhouette is within normal limits, noting atherosclerotic calcifications at the arch. Osseous and soft tissue structures are notable for posterior fixation hardware in the lumbar spine which is partially visualized. IMPRESSION: Small bilateral pleural effusions. Hyperinflation. Otherwise, unremarkable exam. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ male with recurrent minimal change disease presents with worsening acute renal insufficiency. COMPARISON: CT abdomen of ___. RENAL ULTRASOUND: The right kidney measures 10.7 cm and the left kidney measures 11.2 cm. There is symmetric parenchymal echogenicity and vascularity. An anechoic 18 x 14 x 12 mm avascular cyst in the lower pole of the left kidney is noted. There is no hydronephrosis, mass, or stone. The study was performed with a collapsed urinary bladder with a Foley catheter in situ. There is a tiny amount of free fluid in the suprapubic region. DOPPLER: Color Doppler assessment and spectral analysis of the renal vasculature was performed. The main renal arteries are patent bilaterally with normal waveforms and a peak systolic velocity of 97 cm/sec on the right and 71 cm/sec on the left. The right intraparenchymal arteries demonstrate normal to slightly elevated resistive indices of 0.70, 0.77, and 0.75 in the upper, mid and lower poles respectively. The intraparenchymal arteries on the left also demonstrate normal to slightly elevated resistive indices of 0.74, 0.74 and 0.72 in the upper, mid and lower poles respectively. IMPRESSION: 1. Minimally elevated resistive indices in the bilateral renal parenchymal arteries, otherwise normal renal ultrasound and Doppler. 2. Tiny left lower pole simple renal cyst. Radiology Report INDICATION: End-stage renal disease secondary to minimal change disease. ANESTHESIA: Lidocaine 1% and lidocaine 1% with epinephrine was administered for local anesthesia. MODERATE SEDATION: Moderate sedation was provided throughout the total intraservice time of 45 minutes, during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were monitored by a nurse. FINDINGS: After risks, benefits and alternatives of the procedure were explained to the patient, informed consent was obtained. The patient was brought to angiographic suite and placed in the supine position on the imaging table. The right neck was prepped and draped in the usual standard sterile fashion. Preprocedure timeout and huddle were performed per ___ protocol. Using sterile technique, local anesthesia and directed ultrasound guidance, the right internal jugular vein was punctured and a 0.018 wire was advanced through the needle into the SVC under fluoroscopic guidance. The needle was then exchanged for a micropuncture sheath. The wire and inner dilator of the sheath were removed. Following this, a 0.035 ___ wire was advanced through the sheath into the IVC with fluoroscopic confirmation of position. Attention was then directed towards creating a subcutaneous tunnel. After injection of 1% lidocaine with epinephrine, a small incision was made over the right anterior chest and a subcutaneous tunnel was created using a tunneling device. A double-lumen hemodialysis catheter measuring 23 cm from the tip to cuff was placed through the subcutaneous tunnel and pulled out of the right internal jugular venous access site. The micropuncture sheath was then removed and serial dilation of the tract were performed with 10 and ___ F dilators, a peel-away sheath was placed over the wire and inner dilator and guidewire were then removed. The catheter was advanced through the peel-away sheath with its tip positioned into the right atrium. Peel-away sheath was then removed. Both ports were easily aspirated and flushed. The catheter was secured to skin with 0 silk suture. Skin incision near the right internal jugular venous access was then closed with ___ Vicryl absorbable sutures. A sterile dressing was applied. The patient tolerated the procedure well with no immediate post-procedure complications. IMPRESSION: Uncomplicated placement of a 23-cm tip-to-cuff tunneled dialysis line with the distal tip at the right atrium. The line is ready to use. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ man, with constipation and abdominal pain. Rule out small bowel obstruction. COMPARISON: CT abdomen and pelvis on ___.

Dear Mr. ___, . It was a pleasure taking part in your medical care. You were in the hospital because your kidneys were not working well. We tried IV steroids to help your kidneys but unfortunately you still required dialysis. You will continue to have dialysis in rehab and then as an outpatient. You should call your nephrologist, Dr. ___, to schedule an appointment after discharge. . You also had a urinary tract infection and an infection in your blood. We treated you with IV antibiotics. You should continue the antibiotics to complete a 2 week course on days that you get dialysis. . You were also noted to be anemic. You had a small amount of blood in your stool so you underwent an EGD to rule out bleeding from you upper GI tract. This showed gastritis (irritation of the stomach) but no bleeding. You should follow up with Dr. ___ gastroenterologist, as scheduled below to discuss repeating a colonoscopy. . We have made multiple changes to your medications. Please see the updated list below. . Please attend the follow up doctor's appointments as scheduled below. . We wish you all the best!

FINDINGS: There are relatively low lung volumes but no focal consolidation is seen. No pleural effusion or pneumothorax is seen. Cardiac silhouette is top-normal to mildly enlarged. Mediastinal contours unremarkable. Possible old lateral right-sided rib deformities involving the lateral right seventh and eighth ribs. IMPRESSION: No focal consolidation. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CTA HEAD AND CTA NECK Q16 CT NECK INDICATION: ___ patient with right-sided arm and leg weakness. Evaluate for acute intracranial hemorrhage, large territorial infarction, or steno-occlusive disease. 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 Omnipaque 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 16.0 s, 16.0 cm; CTDIvol = 50.2 mGy (Head) DLP = 802.7 mGy-cm. 2) Stationary Acquisition 4.0 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 43.6 mGy (Head) DLP = 21.8 mGy-cm. 3) Spiral Acquisition 4.5 s, 35.2 cm; CTDIvol = 30.9 mGy (Head) DLP = 1,087.3 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Head) = 1,912 mGy-cm. FINDINGS: Dental amalgam and spinal fusion hardware streak artifact, as well as motion limits study. CT HEAD WITHOUT CONTRAST: The left corona radiata and left occipital lobe hypodensities are noted. There are additional nonspecific periventricular and subcortical white matter hypodensities, likely a sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease. There is no evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage. There is frontal lobe predominant parenchymal volume loss with prominence of the ventricles and sulci. There is mild mucosal thickening of the anterior ethmoid air cells. CTA HEAD: There are clinoid and cavernous segments of the bilateral internal carotid arteries vascular calcifications with mild luminal narrowing. There is focal mild luminal narrowing of the mid V4 segment of the left vertebral artery (3:74). Additional areas of nonocclusive stenosis are noted at bilateral supraclinoid internal carotid arteries and bilateral M1/2 segments. Otherwise, the intracranial vasculature appears patent without stenosis, occlusion, or aneurysm. CTA NECK: Streak artifact related to dental amalgam obscures visualization of the cervical vertebral arteries (3:111). Within the confines of the study, the visualized bilateral vertebral arteries demonstrate mild luminal narrowing secondary to facet and uncovertebral joint arthropathy without high-grade stenosis or occlusion. There are calcified and noncalcified plaque at the bilateral carotid bifurcations without internal carotid artery stenosis by NASCET criteria. OTHER: Extensive streak artifact related to dental amalgam obscures visualization of the adjacent structures. There is a 2.0 x 1.9 cm hypodense left thyroid nodule (03:56), with additional hypodensity within the isthmus measuring 1.6 x 1.9 cm (03:47. Respiratory motion artifact obscures visualization of the lung apices. There are nonspecific patchy opacities within the lung apices, right greater than left. There are mildly prominent cervical lymph nodes without definite enlargement by CT size criteria. Multiple calcified mediastinal lymph nodes are noted (see 3: 20). Postsurgical changes related to patient's posterior cervical spinal fusion is noted. IMPRESSION: 1. Dental amalgam and spinal fusion hardware streak artifact, as well as motion limits study. 2. Nonspecific left corona radiata and left occipital lobe hypodensities, which may represent acute to subacute infarcts. Please note MRI of the brain is more sensitive for the detection of acute infarct. 3. No evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage. 4. Mild nonocclusive focal luminal narrowing of the mid V4 segment of the left vertebral artery, and bilateral supraclinoid internal carotid arteries and M1/2 segments are likely atherosclerotic. Otherwise, the circle of ___ is patent. 5. Atherosclerotic disease at the carotid bifurcations without internal carotid artery stenosis by NASCET criteria. 6. Hypodense left thyroid and isthmic nodules measuring up to 2 cm. The ___ College of Radiology guidelines suggest thyroid ultrasound for further evaluation. 7. Nonspecific patchy opacities within the lung apices. Differential considerations include infectious, inflammatory, neoplastic etiologies. If clinically indicated, consider correlation with dedicated chest imaging. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W/O CONTRAST T___ MR HEAD INDICATION: History of coronary disease, right sided weakness. Please evaluate. TECHNIQUE: Sagittal T1 weighted imaging was performed. Axial imaging was performed with gradient echo, FLAIR, diffusion, and T2 technique were then obtained. COMPARISON Head CT from ___. FINDINGS: A focus of slow diffusion is seen within the left corona radiata, with associated FLAIR signal abnormality. Additionally, within the left occipital lobe, a curvilinear region of high signal on the diffusion weighted images is seen, series 4, image 17, also with possible associated FLAIR signal abnormality. There is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage. Prominence of the ventricles and sulci is likely related to age related involutional changes. Periventricular and deep subcortical FLAIR white matter hyperintensities are likely sequelae of chronic microangiopathy. Chronic infarction is seen involving the right cerebellum. Mild mucosal sinus thickening is seen involving the ethmoid air cells. The remainder of the visualized paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are clear. The globes are unremarkable. The principal vascular flow voids appear to be well preserved. IMPRESSION: 1. Acute to subacute infarctions are seen involving the left corona radiata and left occipital lobe. 2. Chronic microangiopathy.

FINDINGS: CHEST: Trauma board projects over the patient and the left costophrenic angle is incompletely imaged, slightly limiting evaluation. Within this limitation, no focal consolidation, pleural effusion, or pneumothorax is detected. Heart and mediastinal contours are within normal limits. PELVIS: Trauma board and additional hardware overlie the patient, limiting evaluation. No acute fracture is evident on this single view. RIGHT FEMUR: A spiral fracture is incompletely imaged in the right mid and distal femur. IMPRESSION: Incompletely imaged spiral fracture of the right mid and distal femur. Findings and limitations were discussed with ___ by ___ by telephone at 11:08 a.m. on ___ at the time of discovery of these findings. Radiology Report INDICATION: Patient status post motor vehicle accident with right leg deformity. COMPARISONS: None available. TECHNIQUE: MDCT-acquired contiguous images through the head were obtained without intravenous contrast at 5-mm slice thickness. Coronally and sagittally reformatted images were displayed. FINDINGS: There is no evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage, mass effect, or shift of normally midline structures. There is no cerebral edema or loss of gray-white matter differentiation to suggest an acute ischemic event. The sulci and ventricles are prominent, likely age related involutional changes. The basal cisterns are patent. Imaged paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are well aerated. IMPRESSION: No evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage or mass effect or obvious fracture. Radiology Report INDICATION: Patient status post motor vehicle accident with right leg deformity. COMPARISONS: None available. TECHNIQUE: A 2.5 mm axial slices through the cervical spine were obtained without intravenous contrast. Coronally and sagittally reformatted images were displayed. FINDINGS: There is no evidence of acute fracture. Levoscoliosis and reversal of cervical lordosis noted- Vertebral body heights are well preserved. Disc space narrowing with pPosterior disc osteophyte complex formation is seen at the level of C4-C5 with mild indentation on ventral thecal sac. There is no critical canal stenosis. Moderate foraminal narrowing is noted bilaterally from uncovertebral osteophytes. Prevertebral soft tissues are unremarkable. The airway is patent. Small locules of subcutaneous gas seen in the left supraclavicular region (2:70, 63), in the venous structures, likely related to IV placement/injection. Overlying clavicle appears intact. No fracture is identified. However, mild asymmetry of the clavicular heads is noted (2:78). Thyroid gland is of heterogeneous attenuation. A calcified focus in the right lobe of thyroid is noted (2:50). Imaged lung apices demonstrate no pneumothorax. Minimal thickening of intralobular septations is seen bilaterally. Sphenoid sinus septations insert on carotid grooves. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence of acute fracture; levoscoliosis. Degenerative changes at C4/5 level with moderate foraminal narrowing. Correlate clinically to decide on the need for further workup. 2. Small locules of subcutaneous gas in left supraclavicular region. No overlying bony injury is noted, however, there is mild asymmetry of clavicular heads. Correlate clinically and with dedicated imaging. Study is limited due to motion. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ female status post trauma. COMPARISON: ___ at approximately 10 a.m. TECHNIQUE: Single frontal radiograph of the pelvis and multiple views of the right hip and femur were obtained. FINDINGS: There is a spiral fracture through the right femoral mid shaft extending to the level of the closed physis laterally with overlapping fragments and lateral angulation of the proximal fragment. There is approximately half shaft width medial displacement of the distal fragment. There is approximately full shaft width posterior displacement of the distal fragment. Overlying soft tissue swelling is seen. Views of the right hip are slightly limited due to patient body habitus and overlying hardware, but no large acute fracture is detected. IMPRESSION: Comminuted predominantly spiral fracture of the right distal femur with displacement, impaction, and angulation. Findings and limitations were discussed with ___ by ___ by telephone at 11:10 a.m. on ___ at the time of discovery of these findings. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ female with femur fracture and question of intra-articular extension. STUDY: CT of the right femur through just below the knee joint; images were acquired in soft tissue and bone algorithms. Coronal and sagittal reformatted images were also generated. COMPARISON: Radiographs from ___ at 10:31 a.m. FINDINGS: Again is seen a comminuted spiral-type fracture involving the femoral diaphysis extending through the distal femoral metadiaphysis, ending at the extra-articular portion of the lateral femoral condyle. There is about 4.5 cm of override between the major fracture fragments. There is no joint effusion or lipohemarthrosis. The patella and visualized portions of the proximal tibia and fibula are intact. Limited assessment of surrounding soft tissues demonstrates minimal soft tissue swelling is present in subcutaneous fat and surrounding musculature adjacent to the fracture. IMPRESSION: Comminuted spiral fracture of the mid and distal femur without intra-articular extension. Radiology Report STUDY: AP chest, ___. CLINICAL HISTORY: ___ woman with possible gas. FINDINGS: In comparison to the prior study performed five hours earlier. Heart size is normal. There is no pneumothorax. There is no focal consolidation. No free air underneath the hemidiaphragms is seen. Bony structures are grossly intact.

Outside read: CTA demonstrating left M2 branch attenuation concerning for partial thrombosis or significant stenosis, left vertebral artery occlusion. // second opinion for CTA head and neck from ___. Images are in OMR/PACS TECHNIQUE: CT of the head was acquired. Following contrast administration and departmental protocol CT angiography of the head and neck was obtained. Curved and 3D reformats were not included with the submitted outside exam. DOSE: Found no primary dose record and no dose record stored with the sibling of a split exam. !If this Fluency report was activated before the completion of the dose transmission, please reinsert the token called CT DLP Dose to load new data. COMPARISON: None FINDINGS: CT head: There is no evidence of large territory infarction, edema, hemorrhage or mass effect. There are mild periventricular white matter hypodensities, nonspecific, most likely sequela of chronic small vessel disease. The ventricles and sulci are enlarged, likely related to involutional change. There is no gross evidence of acute fracture. Partially opacified right sphenoid sinus (201:13). The left sphenoid sinus, ethmoid, frontal and maxillary sinuses are clear. The middle air cavities are unremarkable. Patient is status post lens replacement on the left. CTA neck: Traditional 3 vessel takeoff at the level of the aortic arch. Mild calcification in the aortic arch and carotid bifurcations, right greater than left. No measurable stenosis of the carotid arteries bilaterally. Right dominant vertebral artery. The left vertebral artery is patent at origin. CTA head: CT angiography of the head shows left vertebral artery occlusion, specifically the V4 segment, of indeterminate chronicity, likely chronic as there is no evidence of ischemia on correlated MRI. The hypoplastic left vertebral artery re-presents at the foramina of segment C2. Additionally, there is a small attenuated left M2 branch, without evidence of focal occlusion. There is mild hypoattenuation of the left posterior inferior cerebellar artery. No aneurysm greater than 3 mm in size is identified. There is moderate calcification at the carotid siphons. Other: No lymphadenopathy by radiographic criteria. The visualized lung fields and thyroid lobes are within normal limits. Mild degenerative changes of the visualized spine with grade 1 anterolisthesis of C4 on C5 (403:55) with mild facet arthropathy. Mild loss of the T1 and T4 vertebral body height appears chronic in nature. Temporomandibular joint narrowing bilaterally. IMPRESSION: 1. Segmental left vertebral artery occlusion of indeterminate chronicity. No evidence of ischemia. 2. Somewhat small caliber attenuated left M2 inferior branch, without evidence of focal occlusion. 3. No acute intracranial abnormality on noncontrast CT head.

MDCT imaging of the abdomen and pelvis was then performed. Multiplanar reformats were prepared and reviewed. DOSE: DLP: 1602.12 mGy-cm COMPARISON: Comparison is made with CTA chest from OSH from ___. FINDINGS: CTA CHEST: Severe atherosclerotic, ulcerative plaque formation is seen throughout the descending aorta, with a possible small area of intramural hematoma between the level of the left subclavian artery origin and the level of the diaphragm. No evidence of dissection is seen. The patient is status post surgical repair of AAA, with a small amount of residual infrarenal aneurysmal dilatation. The great vessels are unremarkable. CHEST: There is a small left pleural effusion with associated compressive atelectasis. A small amount of atelectasis is seen in the right lower lobe. The lungs are otherwise clear. There is no nodule, mass, or consolidation. The airways are patent to the subsegmental levels bilaterally. No pathologically enlarged axillary, mediastinal, or hilar lymph nodes are identified. There is no pleural effusion. The heart and pericardium are within normal limits. ABDOMEN: LIVER: The liver is homogeneous in texture with no focal lesions. There is no biliary ductal dilatation. GALLBLADDER: The gallbladder demonstrates sludge but is otherwise normal in appearance. PANCREAS: The pancreas is mildly atrophic but has normal attenuation throughout, without evidence of focal lesions or pancreatic ductal dilatation. SPLEEN: The spleen shows normal size and attenuation throughout, without evidence of focal lesions. ADRENALS: The adrenal glands are unremarkable bilaterally. KIDNEYS: The kidneys are unremarkable. GI: The stomach, duodenum, and intra-abdominal loops of bowel are normal in caliber and unremarkable. RETROPERITONEUM: There is no retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymphadenopathy. VASCULAR: The abdominal aorta is normal in appearance. PELVIS: The sigmoid colon and rectum are normal in appearance. The distal ureters and bladder are normal. There is no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. There is no free fluid in the pelvis. BONES AND SOFT TISSUES: No focal lytic or sclerotic osseous lesions suspicious for infection or malignancy are seen. IMPRESSION: 1. Severe atherosclerotic, ulcerative plaque in the descending aorta, with a possible small area of intramural hematoma between the levels of the left subclavian artery origin and diaphragm. 2. Left pleural effusion with associated compressive atelectasis. 3. Sludge in the gallbladder. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ year old man with type b dissection vs. intramural hematoma // progression of type b dissection/intramural hematoma TECHNIQUE: Multi detector CT images were obtained through the chest in arterial phase after administration of 100 cc of IV Omnipaque contrast. Axial images were interpreted in conjunction with coronal, sagittal, right oblique MIP and left oblique MIP reformats. COMPARISON: CT performed on ___ and ___. FINDINGS: CHEST CTA: There is diffuse mural thickening and irregularity without clear intimal flap that was shown to be hyperdense on initial precontrast images of OSH CT previously. Its density has decreased in the interval compatible with evolution of blood products, but in configuration the findings are most consistent with severe ulcerated plaque and intramural hematoma extending from the origin of the left subclavian artery to the diaphragmatic hiatus. The hematoma does not extend to the celiac axis. When compared to the recent study on ___, there is an interval change in configuration of the enhancing portion of the lumen, with increased enhancement of blood pool spaces within the left posterolateral aspect of the descending aorta, suggestive of increase in size of a penetrating ulcer versus undermining or embolization of plaque and/or hematoma in the posterior wall. While a left pleural effusion is also increased, this is low density with no evidence of extravasation of contrast into the pleural space. The aortic root measures 3.5 cm, ascending aorta 3.6 cm, aortic arch 3.4 cm, proximal descending aorta 4.6 cm, and distal descending aorta 4.2 cm, unchanged from the prior examination of ___. The main, lobar, segmental, and subsegmental pulmonary arteries are well opacified without filling defect. The remainder of the great vessels have a normal appearance. CHEST: The thyroid is normal. Axillary, supraclavicular, mediastinal, and hilar lymph nodes are not pathologically enlarged. The heart is enlarged. There are coronary artery vascular calcifications. The pericardium is intact without effusion. Airways are patent to the subsegmental levels. There is a new simple small left pleural effusion. When compared to the prior exam, there is new ground-glass airspace disease in the right middle and lower lobe. There is a background of centrilobular emphysema. The esophagus and visualized upper abdominal organs are unremarkable. There is an accessory left hepatic artery. OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: No focal lytic or sclerotic lesion concerning for malignancy. IMPRESSION: 1. Thoracic aortic irregularity and dilation consistent with severe ulcerative plaque and intramural hematoma extending from the origin of the left subclavian artery to the diaphragmatic hiatus. The extent is stable from the prior exam but there is worsening plaque ulceration and/or undermining of hematoma described above. Differential would also included embolized soft plaque. 2. There is a new right middle and lower lobe ground-glass airspace disease suspicious for aspiration or multifocal pneumonia. 4. The heart is enlarged. There coronary artery vascular calcifications. These findings were discussed by Dr. ___ with Dr. ___ within 15 minutes of discovery.

You were admitted to the hospital after a fall in which you sustained right sided rib fractures and a small collapse of your right lung. Your vital signs have been stable and you are preparing for discharge to a rehabilitation center to help further regain your strength and mobility. You are being discharged with the following instructions: Your injury caused right sided_rib fractures which can cause severe pain and subsequently cause you to take shallow breaths because of the pain. * You should take your pain medication as directed to stay ahead of the pain otherwise you won't be able to take deep breaths. If the pain medication is too sedating take half the dose and notify your physician. * Pneumonia is a complication of rib fractures. In order to decrease your risk you must use your incentive spirometer 4 times every hour while awake. This will help expand the small airways in your lungs and assist in coughing up secretions that pool in the lungs. * You will be more comfortable if you use a cough pillow to hold against your chest and guard your rib cage while coughing and deep breathing. * Symptomatic relief with ice packs or heating pads for short periods may ease the pain. * Narcotic pain medication can cause constipation therefore you should take a stool softener twice daily and increase your fluid and fiber intake if possible. * Do NOT smoke * If your doctor allows, non steroidal ___ drugs are very effective in controlling pain ( ie, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, Naprosyn) but they have their own set of side effects so make sure your doctor approves. * Return to the Emergency Room right away for any acute shortness of breath, increased pain or crackling sensation around your ribs ( crepitus ). In addition to the rib fracture recommendations, I have included the following instructions: You experience new chest pain, pressure, squeezing or tightness. *New or worsening cough, shortness of breath, or wheeze. *If you are vomiting and cannot keep down fluids or your medications. *You are getting dehydrated due to continued vomiting, diarrhea, or other reasons. Signs of dehydration include dry mouth, rapid heartbeat, or feeling dizzy or faint when standing. *You see blood or dark/black material when you vomit or have a bowel movement. *You experience burning when you urinate, have blood in your urine, or experience a discharge. *You have shaking chills, or fever greater than 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit or 38 degrees Celsius. *Any change in your symptoms, or any new symptoms that concern you. Please resume all regular home medications , unless specifically advised not to take a particular medication. Also, please take any new medications as prescribed.

You were hospitalized for fatigue, altered mental status (confusion), and hypercalcemia (elevated calcium levels). The high calcium is likely the cause of the fatigue and confusion. Also, your blood sodium level was low. You were treated with intravenous fluids and your symptoms and calcium improved. Additionally, CT of the head and abdomen were unrevealing other than progressing cancer in the liver. MRI of the brain was normal. Because the current chemotherapy is not working, you will be changed to a new chemotherapy medication called everolimus (Afinitor), which has been ordered and should arrive in approximately one week. In the meantime, you should continue the previous chemotherapy axitinib. You have also been set up for home IV fluids to maintain a low calcium level. You were started on calcitonin a nasal spray to help bring your calcium levels down. This should be used sparingly as it does not continue to work long-term (>1 week). You can use it when you suspect the calcium levels are elevated (worsening fatigue/weakness, confusion, or confirmed high calcium on blood work). You will need to continue monthly denosumab (Xgeva) injections in the clinic. While you were hospitalized, you were evaluated by a nutritionist. The following recommendations were made by the nutritionist: 1. Please start drinking Ensure Plus three times per day. 2. Please continue eating and drinking as much as possible.

Ms. ___, It was a pleasure taking care of you at ___. You were admitted to the Podiatric Surgery service for treatment of your Right foot Infection. You had samples of your bone obtained for pathology evaluation. The results revealed an infection in your bone for which you will need to receive at least 6 weeks of IV antibiotics. You were given IV antibiotics and your ulceration was treated while in the hospital. You are being discharged home with the following instructions: ACTIVITY: There are restrictions on activity. Please remain non weight bearing to your R foot until your follow up appointment. You should keep this site elevated when ever possible (above the level of the heart!) No driving until cleared by your Surgeon. PLEASE CALL US IMMEDIATELY FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS: Redness in or drainage from your leg wound(s). New pain, numbness or discoloration of your foot or toes. Watch for signs and symptoms of infection. These are: a fever greater than 101 degrees, chills, increased redness, or pus draining from the incision site. If you experience any of these or bleeding at the incision site, CALL THE DOCTOR. Exercise: Limit strenuous activity for 6 weeks. No heavy lifting greater than 20 pounds for the next ___ days. Try to keep leg elevated when able. BATHING/SHOWERING: You may shower immediately upon coming home, but you must keep your dressing CLEAN, DRY and INTACT. You can use a shower bag taped around your ankle/leg or hang your foot/leg outside of the bathtub. Avoid taking a tub bath, swimming, or soaking in a hot tub for 4 weeks after surgery or until cleared by your physician. MEDICATIONS: Unless told otherwise you should resume taking all of the medications you were taking before surgery. Remember that narcotic pain meds can be constipating and you should increase the fluid and bulk foods in your diet. (Check with your physician if you have fluid restrictions.) If you feel that you are constipated, do not strain at the toilet. You may use over the counter Metamucil or Milk of Magnesia. Appetite suppression may occur; this will improve with time. Eat small balanced meals throughout the day. DIET: There are no special restrictions on your diet postoperatively. Poor appetite is not unusual for several weeks and small, frequent meals may be preferred. FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENT: Be sure to keep your medical appointments. If a follow up appointment was not made prior to your discharge, please call the office on the first working day after your discharge from the hospital to schedule a follow-up visit. This should be scheduled on the calendar for seven to fourteen days after discharge. Normal office hours are ___ through ___. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL THE OFFICE WITH ANY OTHER CONCERNS OR QUESTIONS THAT MIGHT ARISE.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CTA HEAD AND CTA NECK PQ147 CT HEADNECK INDICATION: ___ female with sudden onset of gait disturbance ; possible stroke. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous MDCT axial images were obtained through the brain without contrast material. Subsequently, helically acquired rapid axial imaging was performed from the aortic arch through the brain during the infusion of 70 mL of Omnipaque 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 6.4 s, 16.0 cm; CTDIvol = 56.1 mGy (Head) DLP = 897.1 mGy-cm. 2) Stationary Acquisition 5.0 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 54.5 mGy (Head) DLP = 27.2 mGy-cm. 3) Spiral Acquisition 4.8 s, 37.7 cm; CTDIvol = 31.9 mGy (Head) DLP = 1,202.4 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Head) = 2,127 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: Subsequent MRI brain ___ at 21:42. Brain MRI from ___. FINDINGS: CT HEAD WITHOUT CONTRAST: There is no acute hemorrhage, edema, mass effect, or loss of gray/white matter differentiation. At the time of final dictation, subsequent same-day brain MRI demonstrates a small acute infarction in the left cerebellar hemisphere, which is not detectable on the present CT. There is mild age-related prominence of the ventricles and sulci. There is a small osteoma in the right parietal bone, image 3:17. A right ethmoid air cell is opacified. Mastoid air cells and middle ear cavities are well aerated. CTA NECK: The partially visualized ascending aorta is top-normal in caliber, 4.0 cm. There is common origin of the innominate and left common carotid arteries, a normal variant. The right vertebral artery is patent at its origin and V1 segment. However, there is significant stenosis of the V2 segment distal to C6-C7 with occlusion distal to C4. The V3 segment is occluded. There is reconstitution of the intradural V4 segment, presumably retrograde from the basilar artery. The left vertebral artery is patent in its course. There is calcified plaque at bilateral internal carotid artery origins with less than 40% stenosis by NASCET criteria. CTA HEAD: There are vascular calcifications of the bilateral carotid siphons without evidence of significant stenosis or occlusion. Major anterior circulation branches demonstrate no evidence for flow-limiting stenosis. A1 segment of the right anterior cerebral artery is absent, a normal variant. There is reconstitution of the V4 segment of the right vertebral artery, as stated above. Right ___ is not seen. Right ___ complex appears present. Left vertebral artery, left ___, basilar artery, left AICA, bilateral superior cerebellar arteries, and bilateral posterior cerebral arteries appear patent. There is fetal type configuration of the right posterior cerebral artery with approximately equal contributions from the basilar artery and the right posterior communicating artery. There is no aneurysm greater than 3 mm. The dural venous sinuses are patent. OTHER: There is mild dependent atelectasis within the lung apices. There is debris seen within a slightly distended esophageal lumen. Thyroid gland is grossly unremarkable. There are degenerative changes of the cervical spine particularly at C4 through C7 levels. IMPRESSION: 1. No acute hemorrhage. At the time of final dictation, subsequent same date brain MRI demonstrates a small acute infarction in the left cerebellar hemisphere, which is not detectable on the present exam. 2. High-grade stenosis of the V2 segment of the right vertebral artery distal to C6-C7 with occlusion distal to C4. Reconstitution of the V4 segment, presumably retrograde from the basilar artery. Right ___ is not seen; right ___ complex appears present. 3. Bilateral internal carotid artery origin atherosclerosis with less than 40% stenosis by NASCET criteria. 4. Aneurysm of the partially visualized ascending aorta measuring at least 4.0 cm. NOTIFICATION: The right vertebral artery abnormality was discussed with Dr. ___. by ___, M.D. on ___ at 18:15 hours. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CHEST (PA AND LAT) INDICATION: ___ repeat CXR needed // ?cpd COMPARISON: None FINDINGS: PA and lateral views of the chest provided. The lungs appear hyperinflated. Upper lobe lucency may reflect emphysema. No large effusion or pneumothorax is seen. Heart size is top normal. Aorta is unfolded. Bony structures are intact. No free air below the right hemidiaphragm. IMPRESSION: COPD/ emphysema, top-normal heart size, otherwise unremarkable. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MRI AND MRA BRAIN, W/O CONTRAST T715 MR HEAD INDICATION: History: ___ with right sided falls ?vertebral artery occlusion chronic // ?stroke TECHNIQUE: 3 dimensional time-of-flight MRA was performed through the brain. Sagittal and axial T1 weighted imaging were performed along with diffusion imaging. Axial imaging was performed with gradient echo, FLAIR, T2, and T1 technique. Sagittal MPRAGE imaging was performed and re-formatted in axial and coronal orientations. Three dimensional maximum intensity projection and segmented images were generated. This report is based on interpretation of all of these images. COMPARISON: CTA head and neck ___ and MR ___ ___ FINDINGS: MR BRAIN: There is a tiny focus of hyperintensity on the diffusion-weighted images in the left cerebellar hemisphere (series 302, image 9). This is associated with a tiny focus of hyperintensity on the FLAIR images. Together, these suggest a subacute infarction in this location. There are no other findings suggesting infarction. There is prominence of the ventricles and sulci as expected for age. There are scattered bilateral white matter hyperintensities on FLAIR suggesting chronic small vessel ischemia. There is no evidence of hemorrhage, edema, masses, mass effect or midline shift. MRA brain: No anterograde flow is demonstrated in the intracranial right vertebral artery. Given the appearance of the CTA, which demonstrated opacification of this vessel, it is possible the absence of signal on MR is a combination of slow or retrograde flow, not necessarily progression to occlusion since the CTA of several hr earlier. The A1 segment of the right anterior cerebral artery is hypoplastic and not detected on this study. Images of the remainder of the intracranial vessels demonstrate no other stenoses or occlusions. There is a prominent right posterior communicating artery and a tiny P1 segment of the right posterior cerebral artery. These are normal variants. There is no evidence of aneurysm. IMPRESSION: 1. Likely tiny subacute infarction in the left cerebellar hemisphere. 2. No other evidence of infarction. 3. No antegrade flow demonstrated in the far right vertebral artery. This may be a combination of slow and retrograde flow, rather than complete occlusion since the CTA of several hr earlier. 4. No other intracranial vascular abnormalities detected.

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report PELVIS AND LEFT HIP FILMS, ___ HISTORY: ___ male with history of SCC status post left knee disarticulation and left pelvic lymph node dissection presents with fall. FINDINGS: AP view of the pelvis and AP and crosstable lateral views of the left hip. There is an acute left femoral neck fracture with impaction and superior displacement of the distal fracture fragment. No other fracture is identified. Femoroacetabular joints are anatomically aligned. Pubic symphysis and SI joints are preserved. Soft tissues are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: Acute left femoral neck fracture. Radiology Report PORTABLE CHEST, ___ HISTORY: Hip fracture. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: Single supine view of the chest. There is linear left basilar opacity, most likely atelectasis. Mild biapical scarring is noted. The lungs are otherwise grossly clear. Cardiomediastinal silhouette is within normal limits for technique and positioning. IMPRESSION: No acute osseous abnormalities. Radiology Report LEFT FEMUR FILMS, ___ HISTORY: ___ male with left hip fractures, history of squamous cell carcinoma metastatic to the bone and left knee disarticulation. Question osseous lesions. COMPARISON: Films from earlier the same day. Again seen is an acute impacted fracture through the left femoral neck. Below-the-knee amputation is also identified. The bones are diffusely osteopenic with lucencies seen throughout the bone, most likely due to osteopenia. There is no more focal area of osteolysis to suggest metastatic lesion. Radiology Report INDICATION: Left hip fracture, ortho concerned about pathologic fracture, evaluate for metastatic disease. TECHNIQUE: Axial MDCT images were acquired through the pelvis and proximal femurs without intravenous contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformats were produced and reviewed. COMPARISON: Pelvic radiographs ___. FINDINGS: There is a transverse fracture through the left neck of femur with anteromedial displacement of the distal fragment by approximately 50% of the width of the femoral neck. The proximal left femur is abnormal in appearance with multiple small lucencies involving the cortex of the proximal femur. This has contributed to the mottled appearance on the prior radiographs and is consistent with osteopenia or osteoporosis related to disuse. No intramedullary lesions are seen to suggest metastatic disease. The contralateral femur is normal in appearance. No fracture is seen. There are mild degenerative changes of the right sacroiliac joint (2:2) as well as the symphysis pubis (2:42). No additional fractures seen. Assessment of the pelvic parenchyma is limited. Nonetheless, no pelvic lymphadenopathy is seen. There is scarring, skin thickening and retraction in the left inguinal region consistent with a prior lymphadenectomy in this region. No free fluid in the pelvis. The urinary bladder is unremarkable in appearance. IMPRESSION: 1. Displaced fracture of the left femoral neck. No obvious lytic or sclerotic lesion to raise concern for a focal proximal femoral metastasis. The mottled appearance of the proximal left femur appears to represent diffuse osteopenia, presumably due to disuse osteopenia or osteoporosis with intracortical tunneling. 2. Scarring from prior surgery in the left inguinal region. s Radiology Report INDICATION: Study obtained for preoperative evaluation for left femoral neck fracture. COMPARISONS: ___. FINDINGS: AP view of the chest demonstrates normal lung volumes without pleural effusion, focal consolidation or pneumothorax. Hilar and mediastinal silhouettes are unremarkable.

TECHNIQUE: Frontal and lateral chest radiographs were obtained. COMPARISON: Comparison is made to chest radiographs dated ___. FINDINGS: Compared to the prior examination, there has been no significant interval change. Minimal atelectasis is seen at the left lung base. No focal consolidation, pleural effusion, pneumothorax, or pulmonary edema is seen. The cardiomediastinal silhouette is stable. No bony abnormality is detected. IMPRESSION: No radiographic evidence for acute cardiopulmonary process. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CTA CHEST INDICATION: ___ year old man with persistant tachycardia and sat 93% RA. Evaluate for pulmonary embolism. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous helical MDCT images were obtained through the chest after administration of 100 cc Omnipaque IV contrast. Multiplanar axial, coronal, sagittal and oblique maximum intensity projection images were generated. DOSE: Total body DLP: 478 mGy-cm COMPARISON: None FINDINGS: Although the study is not designed for evaluation of the intra-abdominal structures the stomach and partially visualized orbits are essentially unremarkable. There is mild thickening of the left adrenal gland, likely hyperplasia. CT CHEST WITH CONTRAST: There is no supraclavicular, axillary, hilar or mediastinal lymphadenopathy. The heart is not enlarged and there is no pericardial effusion. There is scarring and pleural thickening at the lung apices and dependent changes at the lung bases. The bronchi of the lower lobes demonstrate peribronchial thickening and multiple sites of mucous plugging (3:136 and 142). There is a peripheral subpleural calcified granuloma at the right base (3:140) and at the left base (3:183). No worrisome mass or opacity is detected. CTA THORAX: The aorta and the major thoracic vessels are well opacified. The aorta is normal in caliber without intramural hematoma or dissection. There are scattered atherosclerotic calcifications of the arch of the aorta. The pulmonary arteries are opacified to the subsegmental level. There is no filling defect in the main, right, left, lobar or subsegmental pulmonary arteries. OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: There are no blastic or lytic lesions. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence of pulmonary embolism. 2. Bronchial wall thickening and mucous plugging at the lung bases compatible small airways disease.

You were admitted with headache. Your lumbar puncture did not show evidence of cancer cells in the fluid surrounding the brain. It is not clear what is causing the headaches at this point, but we do not think there are cancer cells around the brain causing them and therefore we would not recommend radiation treatment to the brain at this time. You do have some cancer in the skull, which could be pressing on the brain or blood vessels in some areas of the head and causing the headaches. For pain, we decided on the following regimen: Take the following meds NO MATTER WHAT: Gabapentin and methadone ADDITIONAL MEDS TO TAKE WHEN YOUR PAIN GETS WORSE: If you have more pain during the day, take ___ (can take up to 2 tabs, three times a day - so total of 6 tabs) or dilaudid. Dilaudid you can take ___ mg (recommend taking at least 6) every ___ hours as needed for additional pain. We STOPPED your morphine. Use dilaudid now when you would have taken the morphine before. Because you are taking the ___ use Tylenol because the ___ has Tylenol in it too. FOR NAUSEA: For your nausea, take metoclopramide up to 4 times a day as needed if you need it for nausea, and if you are having a lot of nausea just take the metoclopramide three times a day no matter what to prevent it. and if needed low doses of Ativan can make you sleepy but would be fine to use. IN CASE OF EMERGENCIES WHEN YOU ARE TOO NAUSEATED TO TAKE PILLS: ** in emergency when you are too nauseated to take a pill, we have sent you with a prescription for ondansetron (also called Zofran) which can be dissolved under the tongue

Chief Complaint: Abdominal Pain Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: None History of Present Illness: Ms. ___ is a ___ female with a PMH of asthma and crohn's disease which has been usually affecting her ilium. Pt's first line of treatment was Pentasa but she continued to have symptoms so she was switched to Humira in ___. She developed skin lesions and Humira was stopped ___. Pt was started on ustekinumab (Stelara) in ___, which was initially given via injection every 8 weeks. She had improvement on Stelara but continued to have some mild ileitis so her Stelara was increased to every 6 weeks. Last MR ___ in ___ showed: 1. Compared to ___, there has been interval improvement in disease involving a short segment of distal terminal ileum. Otherwise, there is a similar extent of active inflammatory disease involving a 22 cm long segment of distal ileum and proximal terminal ileum. 2. No evidence of fistula, abscess or obstruction. The pt reports that she usually does not drink alcohol. Yesterday she had half a glass of wine and two bottles of ___ hard lemonade. That night, she began to develop ___ periumbilical pain which she initially attributed to eating Taco Bell. The pain then worsened around 1 or 2 am, waking her from sleep. The pain continued to worsen throughout the morning, so she eventually went to urgent care for evaluation. She reports that the pain is ___ only, sharp/stabbing, and feels different than prior Crohn's flares which were usually lower abd pain. She denies nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or blood in her stool. She denies black stool. She denies dysuria or hematuria. At the urgent care, a CT abd/pelvis was performed which showed ileitis consistent with her Crohn's. Pt was asked to go to the ER for further evaluation. In the ER, she as found to be hemodynamically stable with normal renal function, unremarkable LFTs, normal WBC, no anemia, and elevated CRP to 7.3. Pt was evaluated by GI in the ER who recommended the following (quoted from the ER note): - if develops loose stools, please check C.

DOSE: Total DLP (Head) = 803 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: CT head ___. FINDINGS: Again demonstrated is the en plaque meningioma abutting the left frontotemporal lobes, measuring 1.9 cm in maximal thickness. When compared with the prior CT exam from ___, there is increased vasogenic edema within the left cerebral hemisphere with increasing sulcal effacement and mass effect on the left lateral ventricle. There is mild rightward midline shift measuring 6 mm, previously 3 mm. There is no evidence of large vascular territory infarction, or hemorrhage. No downward herniation. No osseous abnormalities seen. Mild mucosal thickening of bilateral mastoid air cells are similar to prior. The paranasal sinuses, and middle ear cavities are clear. The orbits demonstrate bilateral lens replacement. IMPRESSION: Re-demonstration of the left frontotemporal en plaque meningioma with increased left cerebral vasogenic edema and increased rightward midline shift now measuring 6 mm with associated effacement of the left lateral ventricle, and left cerebral sulci. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W/O CONTRAST T___ MR HEAD INDICATION: ___ year old woman with meningioma, worsening mental status// evaluate for CVA TECHNIQUE: Sagittal T1 weighted imaging was performed. Axial imaging was performed with gradient echo, FLAIR, diffusion, and T2 technique were then obtained. COMPARISON MRI from ___ obtained at an outside hospital and MRI head ___. CT head from ___. FINDINGS: Since ___, previously described hyperintensity on T2 weighted images abutting the left greater wing of the sphenoid has somewhat increased with increased degree of vasogenic edema in the left frontal and parietal lobe and worsening rightward shift of midline structures by 7 mm, previously 4 mm on ___ CT head. There is progression of mass-effect with narrowing of the left lateral ventricle, effacement of the frontal and parietal as well as temporal gyri. While the determination for whether the initiating mass is extra-axial or intra-axial is difficult, there is suggestion of hyperostosis and sclerosis of the left greater sphenoid bone on the prior CTs and suggestion of flow voids and CSF cleft between mass proper and the parenchyma on T2 weighted imaging (09:14, 11, 16). The presumed extra-axial component stably measures up to 12 mm (09:12). However, the degree of hyperintense appearance and expansion of the adjacent brain parenchyma has worsened compared to prior exam and the change is suggestive of aggressive and infiltrative process originating from the en-plaque mass. The lesion demonstrates prominent flow voids along the insular region (series 9, image 15). The overlying left frontal dura is mildly thickened and hyperintense on FLAIR/T2 weighted imaging (10:20). There is no evidence hemorrhage. There is no slow diffusion suggestive of acute infarction. There is persistent near complete opacification of the bilateral mastoid air cells. The imaged paranasal sinuses are grossly clear. The middle ear cavities are unremarkable. Patient is status post bilateral lens replacements. Otherwise, the globes are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: 1. Interval worsening of mass effect, enlargement of the gyri and worsening shift of midline structures due to increasing, extensive left frontal, temporal and parietal white matter vasogenic edema, worrisome for infiltrative process.

Dear Ms. ___, Thank you for choosing ___ as your site of care! Why was I admitted to the hospital? You were admitted to the hospital because of back pain and because you had a stone that was in your urinary system. What was done for me while I was in the hospital? You had a renal ultrasound and a CT scan which showed a stone. Your kidney showed some dilation, but this is mild. You received IV fluids and IV antibiotics and your pain resolved. We discussed the imaging with our Urology team who felt that the stone will likely pass on its own. What should I do when I go home? Please continue to take your antibiotics for the next 5 days. You will be contacted by the Urology office to be seen in clinic. It is very important you take your seizure medication every day. If you notice worsening abdominal pain or fever, please return to the emergency department. You should drink 2.5L of water every day. Please call your primary care provider to be seen within the next 7 days. We wish you the best!

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: ARF, question acute intrathoracic process. FINDINGS: PA and lateral views of the chest are obtained demonstrating clear well expanded lungs without focal consolidation, effusion, or pneumothorax. Cardiomediastinal silhouette appears normal. A levoscoliosis of the T spine is again noted. Bony structures appear intact. No free air below the right hemidiaphragm is seen. IMPRESSION: No acute intrathoracic process. Radiology Report CHEST CT ON ___ HISTORY: Hypercalcemia of malignancy and a smoking history. Evaluate for possible primary bronchogenic carcinoma or metastasis. TECHNIQUE: Multidetector helical scanning was performed without the need for intravenous 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: The only enlarged central lymph node is in the right lower paratracheal station in the midline is 13 mm across. There is no pericardial abnormality, but there is a small volume of pleural fluid in each hemithorax. On the right, there is associated pleural thickening in addition to subpleural atelectasis. Bilateral axillary and peripectoral lymph nodes are not pathologically enlarged. Atherosclerotic calcification is substantial in the major branches of both coronary arteries. Heart is normal size and the mildly hypoattenuating contents of the ventricles suggest anemia. This study is not designed for subdiaphragmatic diagnosis but shows normal size adrenal glands. Biapical pleuroparenchymal scarring is relatively symmetric. A somewhat irregular comma-shaped nodule in the right upper lobe, 4 x 5 mm at its widest, 4:68, is the only right lung lesion concerning for possible primary malignancy. A punctate subpleural nodules in the left upper lobe, 4:54, 58, 89, and 90, could be a very early metastasis. There are no bone lesions particularly suspicious for malignancy. IMPRESSION: 1. Subcentimeter right upper lobe lung nodule could be an early bronchogenic carcinoma, with no evidence that it has metastasized to regional lymph nodes. 2. Handful of punctate nodules in the left lung could be inflammatory or early metastases. 3. Small bilateral pleural effusions and right pleural thickening are of uncertain significance. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ woman with hypercalcemia of malignancy. Evaluate intra-abdominal malignancy. Evaluate the lymphadenopathy. Contrast is contraindicated due to renal insufficiency. TECHNIQUE: MDCT data were obtained through the abdomen and pelvis after the administration of oral contrast. Images were displayed in multiple planes. DLP: 552 mGy-cm. FINDINGS: Visualized portions of the lung bases are free of nodules, consolidations or effusions. Evaluation of solid organs is limited by the absence of intravenous contrast. The liver, pancreas, spleen and adrenal glands are grossly normal. Cholecystectomy clips are identified. Several subcentimeter non-obstructing renal stones are identified in the lower pole and pelvis. The right kidney is normal. Several prominent periaortic nodes are identified. The largest measures 11 x 24 cm just medial to the left renal vessels (2:29). Several other smaller periaortic nodes are also seen. Scattered tiny mesenteric nodes are present some of which meet pathologic criteria for enlargement. The stomach, small and large bowel are of normal caliber and appearance. Four hyperdense medications are seen dependently in the stomach. Three are also seen within the rectum. PELVIS: Remainder of the bowel is unremarkable. The uterus and adnexa are normal.

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAM: MRI cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. CLINICAL INFORMATION: Patient with metastatic melanoma and bilateral leg weakness and left arm weakness, evaluate for cord compression. TECHNIQUE: The examination is limited as patient was unable to continue with only sagittal space images obtained with axial reformats. Large field-of-view imaging of cervical and thoracic spine provides diminished contrast resolution for detailed evaluation. There are degenerative changes in the cervical region with disc bulging at C2-3, C4-5, C5-6, and C6-7 with indentation on the cord and spinal stenosis. The degree of stenosis and cord signal could not be evaluated. This appearance is likely due to degenerative change. In the thoracic region, signal changes suggestive of bony metastases are seen at T10 level. The evaluation for other vertebrae is limited on T2-weighted images for bony metastasis. No cord compression seen in the thoracic region. Degenerative changes noted. In the lumbar region, disc bulging and thickening of the ligaments result in severe spinal stenosis at L2-3, L3-4 and L4-5 levels with disc bulging and moderate stenosis at L5-S1 level. Foraminal evaluation could not be performed due to limited resolution. On the sagittal and axial images as well as scout images, there appears to be dilatation of the renal collecting system on the right and a probable mass in the right upper quadrant in relation with the right kidney. There also appears to be partially visualized mass in the left upper abdomen. Please correlate with previous abdominal MRI of ___. IMPRESSION: Extremely limited evaluation for metastatic disease. There appears to spinal canal stenosis at C2-3, C4-5, C5-6, and C6-7 with indentation on the cord, most likely degenerative. High-grade spinal stenosis also seen in the lumbar region from L2-3 to L4-5 level which also appears degenerative in nature. Bony metastasis seen at T10 level. Evaluation for bony metastasis at other levels is limited on T2-weighted images. Consider repeat study with sedation or anesthesia if clinically indicated. Radiology Report INDICATION: Metastatic melanoma with new inability to move legs, evaluate for fractures or cord impingement. COMPARISONS: MR of the abdomen and pelvis ___, CT chest ___, CT torso ___, and MR of the spine ___. TECHNIQUE: MDCT axial images were obtained through the thoracic and lumbar spines without the administration of IV contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations were provided and reviewed. The study was obtained at ___ ___ on ___ at 613 hours. FINDINGS: There is no fracture or malalignment. Again seen at ___ is a mixed lytic and sclerotic lesion. The metastatic focus within the posterior portion of the vertebral body appears to have slightly increased in size, now measuring 1.9 x 1.5 cm and previously measuring 1.5 x 1.4 cm. Although this lesion does abut the spinal canal, its effects upon the spinal cord are not evaluated on this study. The lesion at the anterior lateral portion of T10 now measures 1.8 x 1.6 cm and previously measured 1.7 x 1.7 cm, grossly unchanged from prior. No other osseous metastatic disease is appreciated. No additional metastatic foci seen throughout the vertebral bodies. Moderate-to-severe degenerative changes of the lower lumbar spine are noted, resulting in severe canal narrowing at L3-L5, however, this appears unchanged from prior studies. Innumerable metastatic foci are again seen throughout the lungs, some of which have increased in size from prior study. For example, a lesion at the apex of the right lung, which appeared more ground-glass on the prior study, is solid and now measures 3.6 mm (2:25). A lesion in the left upper lobe measures 9.9 mm (3:38), previously measured 9.7 mm and a lesion in the left lower lobe measures 9.9 mm (3:46), previously measured 9.7 mm. Additional metastatic foci throughout the lungs appear unchanged. There are no soft tissue lesions seen. IMPRESSION: 1. Mixed lytic and sclerotic lesion within T10, the posterior portion of which appears to have slightly increased in size. This lesion does abut the vertebral canal, however, the effects upon the spinal cord are not characterized. MRI would be recommended if further characterization is necessary. 2. Slight increase in size of the innumerable pulmonary metastatic foci. 3. No fracture. 4. Partially visualized abdominal masses. Radiology Report INDICATION: Known brain metastases from melanoma, status post head strike with hematoma, evaluate for intradermal hemorrhage. COMPARISON: Head MRI ___. TECHNIQUE: Continuous axial sections were obtained through the brain without the administration of IV contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations were provided and reviewed. The bone algorithm was also employed. FINDINGS: There is no acute hemorrhage, edema or shift of the normally midline structures. There is no large territorial or vascular infarction appreciated. Hyperdense foci scattered throughout the brain parenchyma, known to represent metastatic disease, are unchanged from prior MRI. The perilesional vasogenic edema within the left temporal horn appears unchanged. The mastoid air cells and imaged paranasal sinuses are well aerated. The lenses and globes are normal. There is no fracture. IMPRESSION: 1. No acute intracranial process. 2. Bilateral metastatic disease as seen on previous MRI. No obvious change is seen but MRI can help for better assessment. Radiology Report HISTORY: Right knee pain after fall. TECHNIQUE: Right knee, 3 views. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: There is no acute fracture or dislocation. Severe tricompartmental degenerative changes are worse within the medial and patellofemoral compartments with bone-on-bone articulation, subchondral sclerosis and osteophyte formation. Small joint effusion is likely present. There are no suspicious lytic or sclerotic osseous abnormalities. No radiopaque foreign bodies are seen. IMPRESSION: No acute fracture or dislocation. Severe tricompartmental osteoarthritis. Radiology Report HISTORY: Right knee and left shoulder pain after fall. COMPARISON: Left shoulder, 3 views. FINDINGS: No fracture or dislocation is present. There are moderate to severe degenerative changes of the glenohumeral joint with osteophyte formation and joint space narrowing. Degenerative spurring is also seen involving the left acromioclavicular joint. There are no suspicious lytic or sclerotic osseous abnormalities. The visualized left lung is clear. There are no soft tissue calcifications. IMPRESSION: No acute fracture or dislocation.

Dear Mr. ___, It was a pleasure taking care of you during your stay at ___. You were admitted for lower extremity weakness with falls. You received an MRI which showed that your cancer has probably spread to your spine; however, the imaging did not show definite signs of spinal cord compression. The spine surgeons examined you and reviewed your records, and did not feel you would benefit from surgery at this time. You were seen by physical therapy, who felt you could benefit from rehabilitation services as an outpatient. You were sent home in good condition. Your follow-up appointments are listed below.

Chief Complaint: Chest pain Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: Cardiac catheterization ___ Cardiac catheterization ___ with drug eluting stent History of Present Illness: Mr. ___ is a ___ y/o man with a PMH of CAD s/p multiple PCI, PVD s/p R BKA/L ___ toe amputation, stroke, HTN, HLD, T2DM, chronic pain, who presents with chest pain. He presented to the ED yesterday evening with three hours of crushing substernal chest pain, without radiation. He reported that it was similar to his prior MI pain but more sever. It was worse with lying down and better when sitting up. Of note, he had also been experiencing erythema and pain of his left foot and was febrile to ___ shortnly before arrival. In the ED initial vitals were: T 99.8F BP 113/59 mmHg P ___ RR 20 O2 98% NC EKG: NSR, rate of 105, ST depressions in V4/V5, with TWI in V1/V2, Q-wave in III Exam was notable for diaphoresis, tachycardia, and skin findings consistent with L foot cellulitis. Labs/studies notable for normal Chem 7, including Cr of 1.2 (though from a baseline of ~0.9), WBC 15,700, with 89.6%N, no bands, H/H 13.9/42.9, PLT 273, trop-T of 0.02 rising to 0.40, lactate 2.3, bland UA. CXR was notable for stable cardiomediastinal silhouette, without evidence of pneumonia, large effusion, or pneumothorax. A foot radiograph demonstrated no evidence of erosion or radiographic evidence of osteomyelitis. Cardiology was consulted. He was treated with aspirin 243 mg, vancomycin/Zosyn, heparin gtt, and nitroglycerin infusion. His chest pain persisted, and therefore he was urgently taken to the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Vitals on transfer: T 103.8F BP 152/66 mmHg P ___ RR 18 O2 99% RA In the cath lab, radial access was obtained, and he was found to have diffuse three vessel disease in a left dominant system with complex lesions in the proximal LAD (bifurcation lesion with a diffusely disease restenotic diagonal), distal LAD, ostial ramus intermedius and moderate disease in the dominant AV groove Cx into the LPDA. He was noted to have moderate-severe LV diastolic heart failure, with an LVEDP of 23 mmHg. He continued to have ongoing chest pain despite IV NTG, heparin, and a high grade fever, concerning for active infection with bacteremia/sepsis. Overall, given his ongoing infection, the decision was made to treat the ongoing NSTEMI medically without PCI, with the option to return for proximal LAD bifurcation stenting and distal LAD stenting with PCI of the ramus intermedius after clearance of the infection. On arrival to the CCU, he reported that he was continuing to have 4 of 10 chest pressure, though much improved from prior. He actually reported that this pain is distinct from his prior anginal pain. He also reported a headache; in fact, the headache is bothering him more than the chest pain currently. He did report fevers, which started essentially shortly prior to his arrival in the ED. He reports pain and rash in his left foot, which has improved since he arrived. Otherwise, he denied nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dysuria, dyspnea, orthopnea, edema, syncope, hematuria, hematochezia.

Chief Complaint: respiratory distress Very limited data is currently available to piece together the HPI and other history. Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: Placement of a PICC Line History of Present Illness: ___ yo. ___ female with unknown handedness and unknown medical history hx AFib, DM, dyslipidemia, HTN, dementia), transferred from nursing home after developing respiratory distress and fever. Pt returned to nursing home after a recent admit for stroke from ___ yesterday. It was unclear what her clinical status at the time of discharge was, although the presence of a fresh PEG suggests that she probably had a prolonged stay and failed speech/swallow there. I called the nursing home, and spoke to the nurse who saw her today but she was not able to provide me with any insight regarding her clinical status and level of functioning before this. It appears that yesterday (___) in pm, pt developed a fever to 100.6 F axillary. She was noted to be nonverbal, have heavy oral secretions, and to be in respiratory distress. RNs initially paged an NP on call, who prescribed a scopolamine patch. However, her distress persisted despite the patch and vigorous suctioning, and eventually decision was made to transfer pt back to ___. ___. However, for unclear reasons, EMS brought pt here. In transit, pt developed hypoxia and required NRM. She was quickly seen by respiratory therapy here, who noted "an intermittent but strong cough" and ability to partially clear airway. They suctioned "a large amount of thick, yellow sputum from upper oropharynx, after which pt resumed quiet breathing". Neurology was then consulted emergently.

Activity Status: Bedbound. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ female with shortness of breath. TECHNIQUE: Single frontal chest radiograph was obtained with the patient in an upright position. COMPARISON: None available. FINDINGS: Slightly increased density at the lung basez is may represent vascular engorgement or atelectasis. There is suggestion of increased density in the retrocardiac region, which also may be due to atelectasis. Heart size is enlarged. Aortic calcification is seen. No pneumothorax is detected. No frank pulmonary edema is detected but pulmonary vessels are engorged. Small effusion may be present. Dual-lead pacing hardware is noted. Hardware projecting over the right subcutaneous tissues is likely external to the patient. IMPRESSION: Pulmonary vascular engorgement. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ female with history of recent acute stroke and remote stroke, now nonverbal. TECHNIQUE: Axial CT images through the head were acquired without intravenous contrast. Coronal, sagittal, and bone reconstructed images were created and reviewed. COMPARISON: None available. FINDINGS: There is a large area of hypodensity with loss of gray-white matter differentiation in the right insula, posterior temporal, occipital and parietal lobes, consistent with a late acute or subacute infarct. There is also hypodensity in the right lentiform nucleus, right external capsule, and posterior right internal capsule, without volume loss, likely also related to late acute or subacute infarct. There are areas of encephalomalacia in bilateral frontal lobes and medial right occipital lobe, compatible with chronic infarts. There is a chronic lacunar infarct in the left putamen. There is no acute intracranial hemorrhage. There is no shift of normally midline structures. Occipital horn of the right lateral ventricle is mildly effaced, and there is ex vacuo dilatation of the frontal horn of the left lateral ventricle. The basal cisterns are not compressed, and there is no uncal herniation. Prominent sulci suggest age-related cerebral atrophy. Extensive bilateral ICA calcifications and bilateral vertebral artery calcifications are seen. Moderate mucosal thickening is seen in the maxillary sinuses bilaterally. There is mild mucosal thickening in the ethmoid air cells. The mastoids are underpneumatized bilaterally but the pneumatized air cells appear well aerated. No acute fracture is seen. A deformity in the medial wall of the left orbit could be congenital or related to a chronic fracture. IMPRESSION: 1. Large late acute or subacute infarct in the right middle cerebral artery territory with lateral occipital involvement; the latter may be related to a fetal PCA or other arterial variation. MRI could help date the infart. 2. No acute hemorrhage. 3. Chronic infarcts in bilateral frontal and medial right occipital lobes. Findings discussed with ___ by ___ by telephone at 01:30 on ___ at the time of discovery of these findings. Radiology Report REASON FOR EXAMINATION: Evaluation of the patient with CVA, shortness of breath. Portable AP radiograph of the chest was reviewed in comparison to prior study obtained the same day earlier. Cardiomegaly, mediastinal contour and appearance of the lungs is unchanged. Minimal pulmonary vascular engorgement is redemonstrated. No pleural effusion or pneumothorax seen. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ woman with new PICC line. COMPARISON: Prior chest radiograph from ___. TECHNIQUE: Portable semi-erect chest radiograph. FINDINGS: A new right PICC line terminates 7 cm below the carina. There is no pneumothorax. There is no pulmonary edema or pleural effusions. Moderate cardiomegaly has remained unchanged over the past three days. There is splaying of the carina which indicates left atrial enlargement, unless there is reason for left upper lobe scarring. Left-sided dual-chamber pacemaker leads terminate in the right atrium and right ventricle, expected locations. The right atrial lead however, terminates lower than expected, proximal to the tricuspid valve. IMPRESSION: 1. New right PICC line terminates 7 cm below the carina, withdrawal of 3 cm is recommended to ensure adequate positioning. No pneumothorax. 2. Right atrial lead terminates lower than expected, proximal to the tricuspid valve. These findings were discussed with ___ by ___ via telephone on ___ at 12:45 ___, time of discovery and with ___, IV team nurse via telephone on ___ at 1 ___. Radiology Report STUDY: Chest x-ray. INDICATION: Patient with UTI, status post PICC placement. Assess PICC. TECHNIQUE: A portable AP radiograph was obtained on ___ timed at 1521. COMPARISON: Radiograph dated ___ timed at 8:52 a.m. REPORT: A right-sided PICC line is in situ and its tip lies in the mid SVC in good position. No pneumothorax. Heart size normal. There is an evolving opacity in the right upper lung zone compared to the left. How of much of this represents a rotation and how much may represent disease is uncertain, but attention on followup is suggested. CONCLUSION: Previous right-sided PICC line has been probably replaced .Current PICC in good position.

Dear Ms. ___, It has been a pleasure taking care of you at ___. You were admitted to the hospital because your nursing home was concerned for a change in your mental status. In the Emergency Department, you were found to have low oxygen levels, which required placing a breathing tube. We also found that you kidney was injured. You were treated in the Medical Intensive Care Unit briefly and then on the general medicine unit. Your breathing improved and we were able to remove the breathing tube. Your kidney injury also resolved with fluids through an IV. We were also initially concerned that you might have another urinary tract infection. Because of this, you were briefly started on antibiotics. However, your mental status improved and you had no signs of infection and we were able to stop the antibiotics and remove the larger IV (PICC) in your arm. Your mental status and confusion improved during your hospital stay. We think that your low oxygen levels and confusion occured from a little dehydration that caused kidney injury. This kidney injury may have then caused some build-up of your pain medications in your body. This can cause both low oxygen levels and confusion. Please take all of your medications as directed and follow up with your doctor. Weigh yourself every morning, call MD if weight goes up more than 3 lbs. It has been a pleasure taking care of you and we wish you all the best. Best, Your ___ care team

She notes that she was in her usual state of health until prior to presentation. She had a witness fall from standing position after being startled by a dog and losing her balance. She did had no loss of consciousness. She fell to her left side, struck her left eye on the ground, and sustained a laceration to the lateral OS from her glasses. This was followed by immediate decrease vision in the OS. She presented to the ED. In the ED, initial vitals were: 98.2 64 181/64 18 97% on RA. In the ED, she had a CT of the orbits, head and cervical spine, which showed a minimally displaced fracture of the left lateral orbital wall, no cervical spine fractures, and vitreous hemorrhage. Ophthalmology was consulted. Globe rupture was confirmed and the patient was brought to the OR for surgical repair. She was given 500cc vancomycin but developed "redness and itchiness" which was attributed to an allergy rather than "red man syndrome". She did receive ceftazidime (last dose at 5pm). Per Ophtho, surgery went well. She will be admitted overnight and must wear eye patch at all times. No eye drops necessary overnight. She should continue ceftaz for now. She will present to ___ for clinic examination tomorrow at 9AM. Analgesia should be with acetaminophen if possible. Overnight contact is Dr. ___ ___.

Evaluate for bleed or orbital fracture. TECHNIQUE: Routine unenhanced head CT was performed and viewed in brain, intermediate and bone windows. Coronal and sagittal reformats were also performed. DOSE: DLP: 780.44 mGy-cm; CTDI: 50.31 mGy COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: There is no acute hemorrhage, edema or shift of the normally midline structures. The ventricles and sulci are of normal size and configuration for age. Scattered periventricular and subcortical white matter hypodensities, while nonspecific, are presumably sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease. The gray-white matter differentiation is otherwise preserved and there is no evidence for an acute territorial vascular infarction. The basal cisterns are patent. Senescent calcifications are noted within the basal ganglia. Soft tissue stranding and swelling is seen over the left supraorbital rim, compatible with recent trauma. There is a small fracture involving the left lateral orbital wall with minimal displacement. The maxillofacial bones are better evaluated on the concurrent maxillofacial CT. The included paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are well-aerated. IMPRESSION: 1. No acute intracranial process. 2. Minimally displaced fracture of the left lateral orbital wall. Please refer to the dedicated facial bone CT for further details. Radiology Report INDICATION: Mechanical fall and headstrike. Evaluate for fracture. TECHNIQUE: MDCT axial images were acquired through the cervical spine without the administration IV contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations are provided and reviewed. Images were reviewed in bone and soft tissue windows. DOSE: 798.68 mGy-cm COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: There is no acute fracture of the cervical spine. There is no prevertebral soft tissue swelling. Moderate degenerative changes are worst at C4-5 and C5-6, as evidenced by loss in disc height and osteophytes. Degenerative changes also explain the slight reversal in the normal cervical lordosis. The facet joints are well-aligned. The known left lateral orbital wall fracture is better evaluated on the dedicated maxillofacial CT. A small calcification is seen within the left thyroid lobe (3:60). Symmetric, apical pleural-parenchymal scarring is present. IMPRESSION: 1. No acute fracture of the cervical spine. Multilevel degenerative disease with disc space narrowing and small endplate osteophytes. 2. Left lateral orbital wall fracture as seen on same-day CT facial bones. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT ORBIT, SELLA AND IAC W/O CONTRAST INDICATION: Confirmed globe injury after trauma. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images were obtained through the orbits without the administration IV contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations are provided and reviewed. DOSE: DLP: 347.68 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: There is a minimally displaced fracture involving the left lateral orbital wall. There are no other fractures seen. The walls of the right orbit, both maxillary sinuses, pterygoids, nasal bones, nasal septum, zygomas and maxilla are intact. There are no periapical lucencies. Soft tissue stranding seen over the left supraorbital rim and extending over the globe is compatible with recent trauma. There is no retro-orbital extension. High-density material is seen within the ___ the posterior chamber of the left globe (03:35) suggestive of vitreous hemorrhage. There is subtle loss of the normal spherical shape of the left globe with flattening of the lateral globe, compatible with known rupture. The lens appears to be in the appropriate position, but should be confirmed on physical examination. IMPRESSION: 1. Minimally displaced fracture involving the left lateral orbital wall. No retro-bulbar hematoma. 2. Subtle loss of the normal spherical shape of the left globe with flattening along the lateral aspect. Small amounts of high density material within the posterior chamber of the left globe is compatible with vitreous hemorrhage.

Dear Mr. ___, It was a pleasure caring for you at ___. You were hospitalized in the neurology wards to investigate further the cause for your recent increase in seizure events. During your > 24 hour stay here, you did not have any typical events. We continued your home medications, and we obtained an EEG and MRI of your brain. Your EEG did not identify any seizures or obvious epileptiform discharges. The brain MRI also did not identify any significant abnormalities. We discussed the various options. At this time you have an appointment to see Drs ___ in the Department of Neurology at ___. We tried to increase your KEPPRA from 1000mg twice daily to 1500mg twice daily, but this caused problems with somnolence/drowsiness. Instead, we will add another anti-seizure medication, with the goal of ultimately discontinuing the keppra in the long term. There were no other medication changes made today. Do keep your follow up appointment with our neurology department and your primary care doctor here at .

Dear Ms. ___, It was a pleasure participating in your care here at ___ ___. You came to us with shortness of breath and chest pain. You got a CXR which showed a small reaccumulation of your left sided pleural effusion and pneumothorax. You were evaluated by interventional pulmonology who recommended treatment with nebulizers but no repeat drainage of your effusion. You were provided copies of your cytology results from your previous pleural drainages which were negative for cancer cells. You also had a cardiac ECHO done which showed reduced heart function and some wall motion abnormality. You had a subsequent nuclear stress test which showed normal perfusion of your heart. We started you on metoprolol succinate XL 25 daily and Lisinopril 5mg daily to help control your blood pressure, hypertension and heart disease. We stopped your triamterene/HCTZ pill and your potassium supplement because they are no longer needed. We also reduced your aspirin dose to 81 mg to prevent increased risk of bleeding. We also stopped your simvastatin and started you on atorvastatin 40mg daily to help further reduce your risk of cholesterol build up in your arteries. We understand that you will be leaving for vacation and you should take a scale with you and weigh yourself daily.

Dear Ms. ___, You were evaluated for evidence of biliary blockage causing fevers, pancreatitis and abdominal pain. Your symptoms and lab abnormalities have improved. There was no evidence of a gallstone causing these symptoms, though it may be that a gallstone was present and passed on its own. Unfortunately this is impossible now to prove at this point. Less likely possibilities that are related to dysfunction of the sphincter allowing passage from the bile duct or stricture of the biliary duct. The situation will require monitoring for symptoms return and follow up with Dr. ___ in ___ weeks. Please pick up your radiology CD on the ___ floor of the ___ building when you leave the hospital. Please see below for medicines and followup. It was a pleasure caring for you and we wish you the best, Your ___ Team

Dear Mr. ___, It was a pleasure taking care of you during your hospital stay at ___. You were hospitalized for nausea. You did not spike any fevers and your white blood cell count, which can be a marker of infection, was normal, so it is very unlikely that your nausea is caused by an infection that needs to be treated. You got an abdominal cat-scan, which did not show an acute process that might be causing your nausea. There was a small mass seen in your pancreas which was too small to be causing your nausea and does not need to be monitor as per the gastroenterologists. You were treated with anti-nausea medications and your symptoms improved. We recommend that you follow up with a gastrointestinal specialist to further investigate the cause of your nausea. They may decide to do an upper endoscopy. Take Care, Your ___ Team.

The patient exercised on a Modified ___ treadmill protocol and stopped for fatigue after 10 minutes. The peak estimated metabolic capacity was ___ METs, an average functional capacity for age. There were no symptoms reported during rest and exercise. In the recovery period the patient noted a "sickle cell crisis" which included a low back pain and a chest pain. Both symptoms were fleeting. The patient requested water and oxygen. Water was given and oxygen was administered at 2L/minute via nasal cannula over 5 minutes. There were 1-1.5 mm horizontal ST segment depression in the inferolateral leads with biphasic T waves in the setting of prominent voltage. These changes reversed by 2' post exercise. The rhythm was sinus with occasional PACs and PVCs. There was a rare ventricular triplet. The blood pressure response to exercise was normal. IMPRESSION: No anginal symptoms with exercise in the presence of equivocal ECG changes. Echo report sent separately.

The test was stopped because of fatigue. This level of exercise represents an average exercise tolerance for age. In response to stress, the ECG showed equivocal/borderline ischemic ST wave changes (see exercise report for details). There were normal blood pressure and heart rate responses to stress. . Resting images were acquired at a heart rate of 54 bpm and a blood pressure of 120/80 mmHg. These demonstrated mild global left ventricular hypokinesis (LVEF = 45 %). There is no pericardial effusion. Doppler demonstrated mild mitral regurgitation with no aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation or significant resting LVOT gradient. The estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is normal. Echo images were acquired within seconds after peak stress at heart rates of 124 - 108 bpm. These demonstrated mild regional dysfunction with mild hypokinesis of the inferior wall post exercise. The remaining segments augment appropriately. IMPRESSION: Average functional exercise capacity. Equivocal ECG changes with possible 2D echocardiographic evidence of inducible ishemia at achieved workload (single vessel CAD). Normal hemodynamic response to exercise.

Dear Mr. ___, You came to the hospital because you had chest pain. There was concern that this chest pain may have been due to you not having adequate blood flow to your heart. At the hospital, you underwent a stress test that showed that your heart had mild ischemia (a condition where the heart has pain because of inadequate blood flow). It is important for you to take medicines to protect your heart, lower your blood pressure, and decrease cholesterol, but at this time you do not need any stents placed in your heart. As a result we are sending you home, with follow up with your primary care provider. We ask that you call and cancel your appointment for your echocardiogram as listed below as you had one in the hospital. We wish you all the best! -Your ___ Care Team

Dear Mr. ___, You were admitted to ___ on ___ for chest discomfort. You were subsequently diagnosed with a condition called 'perimyocarditis', which refers to inflammation in the heart and the sac that surrounds the heart. This is usually a benign condition that resolves spontaneously, although you should avoid strenuous activity (including sports such as basketball) at least until you are seen in follow up by Dr. ___. We have prescribed ibuprofen which you should take as directed for the next ___ days for your chest discomfort. Additionally, you should take another medication called 'colchicine' for the next 3 months. You should continue to take this medication for this duration even in the absence of chest pain as it reduces your risk of recurrence of this condition. It was a pleasure to take care of you during your hospital stay. Sincerely, Your ___ Team

She was found to have pulmonary edema on chest X-ray. Ms. ___ has a long medical history and was most recently discharged from ___ on ___ for UTI and subsequently treated for MDR klebsiella with imipenem. The patient was noted to be SOB at her extended care facility and received 3 nebulizer treatments prior to arrival via EMS. She was also given IV corticosteroids due to concern for bronchospasm and restrictive lung disease. In the ED, initial VS were T 100.5 HR 73 BP 151/68 RR 18. During her course in the ED she became tachypneic with a RR 36 and placed on a non-rebreather with O2 sats at 94%. Labs were significant for an elevated WBC of 16.3 with 93.4% neutrophils, an elevated lactate of 3.1, a troponin of 0.11 and a BNP of 30737. The patient was also noted to have elevated liver enzymes but otherwise stable Chem 7 since last admission. UA showed equivocal results. CXR illustrated pulmonary edema and persistent left pleural effusion making it difficult to rule out superimposed infection. Blood cultures were drawn and the patient was stared on vanc/zosyn/levofloxcin and given tylenol for fever. On arrival to the MICU, vitals were T:99 BP:148/64 P:71 R:19 O2:99% on BiPAP.

Left PICC is in stable position, tip in the mid SVC. There has been interval progression of the bilateral parenchymal opacities more so on the left which appears more confluent in the perihilar region most compatible with pulmonary edema. More dense retrocardiac opacity silhouetting the hemidiaphragm suspicious for superimposed effusion. Cardiac silhouette is enlarged but unchanged. IMPRESSION: Progression of pulmonary edema and persistent left effusion. Superimposed infection would be difficult to exclude. CXR ___ IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to ___ through ___: Pulmonary edema had improved substantially between ___ and ___, but there is substantially worse consolidation in the right lower and left upper lobes today than on ___. Whether this is recurrence of pulmonary edema or concurrent pneumonia is radiographically indeterminate. At least small bilateral pleural effusion is presumed. Moderate-to-severe cardiomegaly is longstanding. Left PIC line ends in the upper SVC. Echocardiogram ___ The left atrium is mildly dilated. Left ventricular wall thicknesses and cavity size are normal. Regional left ventricular wall motion is normal. Systolic function of apical segments is relatively preserved. Overall left ventricular systolic function is low normal. Quantitative (biplane) LVEF = 56 %. The estimated cardiac index is normal (>=2.5L/min/m2). Tissue Doppler imaging suggests an increased left ventricular filling pressure (PCWP>18mmHg). The right ventricular cavity is mildly dilated with mild global free wall hypokinesis. The aortic valve leaflets (3) are mildly thickened but aortic stenosis is not present. No aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. An eccentric jet of at least mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. There is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is no pericardial effusion. IMPRESSION: Normal left ventricular cavity size with low normal global systolic function. Moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. Right ventricular cavity enlargement with free wall hypokinesis. Mild mitral regurgitation. Increased PCWP. Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of ___, global left ventricular systolic function is now slightly worse (now low normal), the right ventricular cavity is now dilated with free wall hypokinesis, and the estimated PA systolic pressure is higher.

He made an appt. with a new gastroenterologist who he saw on the ___. Dr. ___ him on 60mg PO prednisone daily as well as PO flagyl. The patient did not fill the flagyl prescription becuase he was going to a party that weekend and wanted to be able to drink alcohol. In contrast he has been compliant with the PO prednisone, without relief of symptoms. Over the weekend his symptoms changed to become a midline squeezing feelig in addition to the stabbing right sided pain. He started the PO flagyl the day PTA, without relief of symptoms, and came to the ___ due to worsening of his pain and encouragement by the nurses at his gastroenterologist's office. The patient was first diagnosed with Crohn's at the age of ___. He presented with RLQ abd pain and underwent surgery for presumed appendicits, but had a 6 inch bowel resection for Crohn's disease instead. Since the age of ___, he has had flares approximately every ___ years. Most of these are treated with 4 days of PO prednisone as an outpatient, though he has required inpatient admissions for IV steroids, bowel rests and IVF in the past (unsure of date of last admission). In the ___, initial vitals were 98.8, 107/61, 100, 16, 99% on RA. Labs were notable for WBC of 24.6 with 95% neutrophills. A lactate was 1.8. A repeat CT scan showed ileitis without phlegmonous collection. The patient was treated with IV cipro(1365)/flagyl(1500).

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report CLINICAL HISTORY: ___ man with Crohn's and worsening abdominal pain. He is currently on steroids for flare. COMPARISON: None. TECHNIQUE: CT of the abdomen and pelvis with oral and IV contrast. FINDINGS: CT ABDOMEN: The lung bases are clear of effusions and nodules. The imaged portion of pericardial apex is unremarkable. Within the abdomen, the liver enhances homogeneously. No focal liver lesions. Gallbladder is unremarkable. Spleen is normal in size and appearance. Pancreas is unremarkable. Bilateral adrenal glands are normal. Bilateral kidneys enhance and excrete contrast symmetrically with no evidence of hydronephrosis, stones, or masses. There is no retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymphadenopathy. The abdominal aorta is normal in course and caliber. The cecum appears scarred with sacculations and there may have been surgery at the site in the past, but the pattern of scarring suggests chronic sequelae of Crohns' disease at the site. The ileocecal transition appears slightly thickened and enhancing suggesting active though mild inflammation. Slightly upstream there is a focal segment of bowel wall thickening spanning approximately 4 cm (2:46 and 601A:21). The small bowel is also narrow at both sites. This focal segment of thickening of the distal ileum also suggests mild inflammatory active with a potential degree of mild functional obstruction. This segment of the distal ileum which is thickened causes post stenotic dilatation of a segment of ileum (2:47), but contrast flows freely through to the colon. Arising from the leading edge of this narrowed segment is a complex widely patent fistula which connects to both the more distal ileum and also directly to the cecum. CT PELVIS: The bladder, prostate and seminal vesicles are unremarkable. No pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. BONES: No suspicious lytic or sclerotic lesions. IMPRESSION: Findings suggesting acute on chronic Crohn's disease including findings suggesting mild inflammatory activity at two narrowed sites of distal ileum with suspected mild functional obstruction and complex ileocolic fistula. No evidence of abscess or perforation. Correlation with outside imaging is recommended. MR can be more sensitive for acute inflammation of the bowel if needed clinically.

FINDINGS: There is no evidence of acute fracture or traumatic malalignment. No disk, vertebral or paraspinal abnormality is seen. CT is not able to provide intrathecal detail compared to MRI, but the visualized outline of the thecal sac appears unremarkable. No lymphadenopathy is present by CT size criteria. The lung apices are clear. Tiny radioopaque densities adjacent to a right facial laceration may represent superficial foreign bodies (3:16). IMPRESSION: No evidence of acute fracture or traumatic malalignment Tiny radioopaque densities adjacent to a right facial laceration may represent foreign bodies. Radiology Report INDICATION: History: ___ struck by car with deformity of left lower extremity TECHNIQUE: Two views of the left tibia and fibula COMPARISON: ___ at 18:17 FINDINGS: An oblique open fracture of the distal third diaphysis of the tibia demonstrates lateral displacement by approximately 1 shaft width, and 6.5 cm of override with slight varus angulation. An oblique fracture of the mid-diaphysis of the left fibula demonstrates lateral and posterior displacement of the distal fracture fragment by approximately 1 shaft width, with approximately 3 cm of override and varus angulation. There is a large amount of soft tissue swelling and subcutaneous emphysema. The imaged aspects of the left knee and ankle appear grossly unremarkable. An oblong calcification is seen within the anterior soft tissues of the leg pain, likely vascular in etiology. Radiology Report INDICATION: History: ___ with tibia and fibula fracture post reduction and splinting // ?interval change TECHNIQUE: AP and lateral views of the left tibia and fibula COMPARISON: ___ at 18:38 FINDINGS: An overlying splint limits fine osseous detail. Re- demonstrated is an oblique fracture involving the distal third diaphysis of the tibia with lateral displacement of the distal fracture fragment by approximately ___ shaft width, slightly worse in the interval and approximately 6 cm of override. Varus angulation is similar, and there is worsening ventral displacement of the distal fracture fragment by approximately a half shaft width. An oblique fracture involving the mid diaphysis of the left fibula is again noted with lateral displacement by approximately 1 and a half shaft widths with approximately 3 cm of override. There is continued dorsal displacement of the distal fracture fragment and varus angulation, not substantially changed in the interval. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: TIB/FIB (AP AND LAT) LEFT IN O.R. INDICATION: Tib-fib ORIF. TECHNIQUE: Fluoroscopy provided in the operating room without a radiologist present. Total fluoroscopy time 91 seconds. COMPARISON: ___ FINDINGS: 27 images saved. Instrumentation with placement of intramedullary rod transfixing tibial fracture. For details of procedure, please consult the operative report. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: DX THORACIC AND LUMBAR SPINES INDICATION: ___ pedestrian struck with left open tib/fib fracture, now s/p left tibial IMN and I D. Also with back pain TECHNIQUE: AP and lateral view radiographs of the thoracic and lumbar spines. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: There is an anterior wedge compression fracture of L2 with 40% loss of height and fragmentation of the superior endplate. There is slight retropulsion at L2 vertebral body. At the level of L5 there is loss of vertebral height posteriorly, not typical of trauma. This may be secondary to a chronic process with possible spondylolysis of the posterior elements at this level. Would suggest further assessment with cross-sectional imaging. There is an incidental left lower lobe infiltrate, for which chest x-ray is recommended. The thoracic vertebrae and intervertebral disc spaces are preserved without evidence of fracture or compression fracture. There is no rib fracture. The sacroiliac joints are normal in appearance. Partly visualized moderate right hip degenerative change. IMPRESSION: 1. Compression fracture of L2 with mild retropulsion. 2. Posterior loss of vertebral height at L5 that is not typical of trauma, for which cross-sectional imaging is recommended. This more likely represents a chronic appearance, possibly related to background spondylolysis. Spondylolysis is not definitively visualized on the current radiographs however. 3. Incompletely evaluated left lower lobe infiltrate, recommend chest x-ray.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ female with GJ tube, now with abdominal pain, requiring evaluation of GJ tube location. COMPARISON: Comparison was made with abdominal radiographs from previous day, ___. FINDINGS: Because of the patient's iodine allergy, a small amount of barium was injected into the jejunal port of the patient's GJ tube. Contrast was seen filling the jejunum. The balloon on the GJ tube was then imaged with the patient in the lateral position. The balloon had already been filled with contrast during yesterday's imaging. Under fluoroscopic imaging, it appeared that the contrast-filled balloon was separable from the internal abdominal wall, suggesting the balloon was not embedded within the wall. The jejunal port was then flushed with water at the end of the procedure. IMPRESSION: Appropriate location of GJ tube within jejunum, with balloon appearing to not be embedded within the abdominal wall. No evidence of leak. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ female with gastroparesis, hiatal hernia and gastric volvulus status post laparoscopic reduction of hiatal hernia, repair of diaphragm, now with acute on chronic abdominal pain with concern for GJ tube malfunction. COMPARISONS: GJ tube check ___ and CT abdomen and pelvis ___. TECHNIQUE: MDCT axially acquired images were obtained from dome of liver to the pubic symphysis without the administration of IV contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations were provided and reviewed. DLP: 849.63 mGy-cm. ABDOMEN: The visualized lung bases are clear. There is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. The imaged portion of the heart is unremarkable. A small hiatal hernia persists and contains a moderate amount of debris. Evaluation of intra-abdominal organs is limited by the lack of IV contrast. Within this limitation, the liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, and adrenal glands are normal. The kidneys are unremarkable without nephrolithiasis or hydronephrosis. A GJ tube is present and appears to be in satisfactory position with its tip terminating slightly distal to the ligament of Treitz. The percutaneous entry site is unremarkable, without abscess or significant stranding. T-tacks are present. There is no free air. Compared to prior, the balloon appears to be within the lumen of the stomach rather than the abdominal wall musculature. There is no retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymphadenopathy. No free fluid is present. There is a mild amount of atherosclerosis within a non-aneurysmal aorta. PELVIS: A suprapubic catheter is present and the bladder is decompressed. The uterus, rectum and sigmoid are normal. There is no inguinal lymphadenopathy. Small pelvic lymph nodes do not meet CT size criteria for pathologic enlargement. BONES AND SOFT TISSUES: There are no suspicious osseous lesions. A sacral nerve stimulator is in unchanged position. IMPRESSION: 1. No acute intra-abdominal process. 2. Properly positioned GJ tube which is in concordance with the findings from the previous fluoroscopic study. 3. Small hiatal hernia containing debris.

There is new low-attenuation material to the left of the aorta measuring 3.5 cm. Postoperative changes favored given the presence of 6 cm fluid collection in the left pelvis, new surgical clip in the left renal pelvis and left renal infarct. A chronic aneurysm leak could have low attenuation appearance. There is no extravasation of contrast beyond the aortic lumen. 2. New 3.9 cm aneurysm of the aorta above the level of the graft at the level the SMA. 3. 4.8 cm aneurysm of the ascending aorta, 1.5 cm above the level of the aortic valve. Most of the aneurysm represents mural thrombus with a 12 mm area containing contrast. 4. 4.7 cm aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta 5. Infarct in the left lower kidney. The new surgical clip in the left renal hilum suggests this could be on the lower pole renal artery. 6. New intimal flap in the right renal artery 7.
