The calculated left ventricular ejection fraction is 57% IMPRESSION: Evidence of moderate fixed septal and inferolateral wall defects, please see above comments. Normal ventricular size and systolic function. ---- CXR ___ ---- IMPRESSION: Bibasilar hazy opacities, which may reflect combination of atelectasis and small effusions, slightly increased. Minimal edema stable. ---- Echo ___ ---- IMPRESSION: Suboptimal image quality. Moderately depressed left ventricular systolic function consistent with multivessel coronary artery disease. Right ventricular apical hypokinesis. Moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation (clip#64). Mild pulmonary hypertension. Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of ___, the left ventricular systolic function is worse. The severity of tricuspid regurgitation is worse; the regional wall motion abnormalities are new. Severe pulmonary hypertension is no longer appreciated. ---- Echo ___ ---- Overall left ventricular systolic function is low normal (LVEF 50-55%). There is no ventricular septal defect. The right ventricular free wall is hypertrophied. The right ventricular cavity is dilated with normal free wall contractility. Mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. The tricuspid valve leaflets are mildly thickened. There is severe pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. ---- CXR ___ ---- 1. Cardiomegaly, mild pulmonary edema, and small bilateral pleural effusions. 2. Increased prominence of right upper and lower lung opacities may be due to pulmonary edema or infection. ---- CT Chest ___ ---- 1. No pulmonary embolus or evidence of aortic injury. 2. Cardiomegaly, diffuse ground-glass opacity likely representing moderate pulmonary edema, and small bilateral nonhemorrhagic pleural effusions suggest cardiac decompensation with possible superimposed infection. 3.

It was a pleasure taking care of you during your recent hospitalization. You came in with weakness. We found that there was evidence on blood tests that you had some injury to your heart. We started a blood thinning medication to protect your heart from further damage. After several days we felt that you were stable and stopped this mediation. However, you developed a condition called anemia, or low blood count. You felt very weak and tired and we thought this was due to the anemia. We gave you a blood transfusion and you felt improved. We think that you may have a slow bleeding source from somewhere in your gastrointestinal tract. We started a new medication called omeprazole to protect your gastrointestinal tract. You should follow up with a gastroenterologist regarding this concern. . We made the following CHANGES to your medications: STOPPED lasix (furosemide) STOPPED pravastatin STARTED atorvastatin (replaces pravastatin) STARTED colase to prevent constipation STARTED senna to prevent constipation STARTED miralax as needed for constipation STARTED omeprazole . Weigh yourself every morning, call MD if weight goes up more than 3 lbs.

A moderate-sized hiatal hernia is again noted. Increased interstitial opacities are noted diffusely, more pronounced on the lung bases, likely reflective of chronic interstitial lung disease. Mild superimposed interstitial pulmonary edema is not excluded. More focal opacity within the right upper lobe could reflect an area of infection. There is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. No acute osseous abnormality is demonstrated. IMPRESSION: Diffusely increased interstitial opacities likely reflective of chronic interstitial lung disease, though a component of superimposed interstitial pulmonary edema is not excluded. More focal patchy opacity in the right upper lobe could suggest infection. Moderate size hiatal hernia. Comparison with any previous chest CT imaging is recommended, and if none are available, dedicated high-resolution chest CT is suggested. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: DIFFUSE LUNG DZ INDICATION: ___ with hx of HTN, ILD, RA (on prednisone, MTX, Rituximab), HFrEF // eval for worsening ILD, infection, acute pathology TECHNIQUE: Multi detector helical scanning of the mid and lower chest was performed with the patient prone at end inspiration, then of the full chest with the patient supine, first at end inspiration then at end expiration. Prone images were reconstructed as 1.25 mm thick axial images. Supine inspiratory scanning was reconstructed as 1.25 and 5 mm thick axial images, and 2.5 mm thick coronal and parasagittal images. Supine expiratory scanning was reconstructed as 1.25 and 5 mm thick axial and 2.5 mm thick coronal images.

Contour abnormality at the left pulmonary hilum for which nonemergent chest CT is recommended to further assess. ___ CTA Chest: 1. There is a large left lower lobar pulmonary embolism which extends into multiple segmental and subsegmental branches. There is dilatation of the main pulmonary artery, measuring up to 3.9 cm, as well as the bilateral pulmonary arteries. No CT evidence of right heart strain. 2. The right lower lobar pulmonary arteries and veins are not visualized. Recommend correlation with prior procedure. If there are none, this may represent sequelae of prior pulmonary embolism with atretic right lower lobe pulmonary artery, although acute pulmonary embolism not entirely excluded. If acute embolism, the 4.8 x 2.5 cm consolidation below may represent a pulmonary infarction. 3. There is ground-glass opacity and 4.8 x 2.5 cm consolidation in right lower lobe, concerning for aspiration with possible superimposed pneumonia. Follow-up to resolution is recommended to exclude underlying mass. ___ BLE Ultrasound: 1. Partially occlusive thrombus in the right mid superficial femoral vein, which extends to the distal right superficial femoral vein, where it becomes occlusive. 2. Partially occlusive thrombus in the left mid and distal superficial veins. ___ TTE: The left atrial volume index is normal. Tissue Doppler imaging suggests a normal left ventricular filling pressure (PCWP<12mmHg). Doppler parameters are most consistent with normal left ventricular diastolic function. Right ventricular chamber size and free wall motion are normal. Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion is normal (1.9 cm; nl>1.6cm) consistent with normal right ventricular systolic function. The aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic stenosis. Mild (1+) aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve appears structurally normal with trivial mitral regurgitation. There is severe pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is no pericardial effusion. IMPRESSION: 1) Moderate to severe pulmonary hypertension with normal LV diastolic/systolic function and normal LVEDP as well as no ___ ___ suggestive of likely type III pulmonary hypertension (considering patient's age). There is significant elevation of pulmonary vascular resistance with calculated PVR ranging from 4 - 7 ___ (depending on method of calculation) corroborated by mid-systolic notching of pulmonary VTI and short acceleration time thereof.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ female with Crohn's, with right lower quadrant and left lower quadrant pain and blood from the left lower quadrant stoma. Evaluation for intra-abdominal abscess. TECHNIQUE: MDCT images were obtained of the abdomen and pelvis after the administration of intravenous and oral contrast. Reformat coronal and sagittal images were also reviewed. DLP: 289.66 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: Comparison is made to CT of the abdomen and pelvis from ___. FINDINGS: CT ABDOMEN: The liver enhances homogeneously, with no evidence focal lesions. There is no intra or extrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation. The portal vein is patent. The pancreas, spleen, bilateral adrenal glands, bilateral kidneys and gallbladder are unremarkable. The stomach, duodenum and proximal small bowel are normal in appearance, with no evidence of wall thickening or obstruction. Enteric contrast material is seen to the level of the distal ileum. There is no evidence of intra-abdominal fluid collection or abscess. The patient is status post left colectomy, with left lower quadrant ostomy. The ostomy and the distal left colon again demonstrates mucosal edema, and surrounding inflammatory changes, consistent with colitis (2:33), the extending to the ostomy site (2:42). The findings are similar when compared to the prior study, and are concerning for colitis in the setting of acute Crohn's flare. There is no evidence of obstruction. CT PELVIS: The rectal pouch again seen, and demonstrates mild mucosal edema, likely inflammatory, with a trace amount of fluid in the pelvis (2:62). The terminal ureters and bladder are unremarkable. The uterus is normal in appearance. No adnexal masses are seen. Several prominent lymph nodes are identified. OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: No lytic or blastic lesions suspicious for malignancy is identified. IMPRESSION: Mucosal edema with mural thickening and surrounding inflammatory changes along the distal left colon leading to left lower quadrant diverting colostomy are consistent with colitis, likely secondary to underlying Crohn disease flare. Mild inflammatory changes are also present about the rectal stump with adjacent mild pelvic lymphadenopathy. No evidence of abscess or obstruction. Radiology Report INDICATION: History of Crohn's disease status post colectomy with left lower quadrant ostomy, now with fever and leukocytosis and palpable swelling around the ostomy site, here to evaluate for underlying fluid collection. COMPARISON: Same day CT of the abdomen and pelvis with contrast. TECHNIQUE: Targeted sonographic assessment was performed in the region of the patient's palpable abnormality medial to the left lower quadrant ostomy site. FINDINGS: Corresponding to the patient's palpable abnormality medial to the left lower quadrant stoma, there is a relatively hypoechoic collection in the subcutaneous fat of the anterior abdominal wall, measuring 14 x 8 x 7 mm with internal echoes compatible with debris. There is no internal vascularity on color Doppler analysis. This likely corresponds to a focal subcutaneous hypodensity on a same day CT. IMPRESSION: 1.4 cm subcutaneous fluid collection medial to the stoma, which is not amenable to percutaneous drainage. Aspiration could be considered if clinically indicated. Radiology Report HISTORY: Fever. FINDINGS: In comparison with study of ___, there is little change and no evidence of acute cardiopulmonary disease. No pneumonia, vascular congestion, or pleural effusion.

Had ERCP with stent placement. Evaluate an abdominal wall hematoma, which had an ___ drain. He has had one week of abdominal pain. Please evaluate fluid collection, evidence for bile leak. COMPARISON: Gallbladder scan ___, CT abdomen and pelvis ___, CT interventional procedure ___ and CT abdomen and pelvis ___. TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar T1- and T2-weighted imaging was acquired on a 1.5 Tesla magnet including dynamic 3D imaging obtained prior to, during, and after the uneventful intravenous administration of 7.5 mL of Magnevist and 7.5 mL of Eovist. In addition, 5 mL of Magnevist was administered orally with 75 mL of water. FINDINGS: The imaged lung bases are clear. There are small bilateral pleural effusions. There is normal hepatic parenchymal signal intensity without focal liver lesion. There is mild central intrahepatic biliary dilatation and the common bile duct is dilated measuring up to 12 mm in its more proximal portion, however, tapers normally towards the head of the pancreas. There is evidence of pneumobilia, but no evidence for choledocholithiasis. The biliary stent is noted within the lower one-third of the common bile duct (series 6, image 1) extending into the duodenum distally. Post administration of Eovist there is prompt excretion of the hepatobiliary agent from the intra- and extra-hepatic biliary tree with no evidence for bile leak. There is normal filling of the cystic duct remnant with no evidence for a leak from the cystic duct stump. There is conventional hepatic arterial anatomy, and the visualized hepatic and portal veins are patent. The spleen measures 11 cm. The pancreas has homogeneous signal intensity and enhances uniformly. There is mild prominence of the pancreatic duct in the head of the pancreas measuring up to 4 mm without irregularity. No focal concerning cystic lesions are identified. Both adrenal glands are unremarkable. Both kidneys are normal with a simple cyst noted in the interpolar region of the right kidney measuring 8 mm which is hyperintense relative to renal parenchyma on T2-weighted imaging (series 12, image 30) and does not enhance post-contrast. Incidental note is made of moderate narrowing of the origin of the celiac axis with associated post-ostial dilatation (series 901, image 722). The visualized superior mesenteric and inferior mesenteric arteries are patent. The abdominal aorta is normal in caliber with no evidence for focal aneurysm or dissection. Within the mid abdomen on the right side, a collection is identified which measures 7.4 craniocaudal x 6.0 cm AP x 3.4 cm in transverse diameter, which previously measured 9.1 cm x 10.7 cm x 5.3 cm on ___. On T1-weighted imaging there is a bright rim (series 7, image 126) which is dark on T2-weighted imaging (series 12, image 42). The central component of the collection is of high signal intensity on T2-weighted imaging, consistent with liquidation within the collection. There is no significant enhancement post-contrast administration and findings are consistent with a hematoma. There are no retroperitoneal masses or adenopathy. No abnormally dilated or thickened small or large bowel loop in the visualized upper abdomen. No free fluid. Bone marrow signal is normal and no osseous lesions were identified. IMPRESSION: 1. Patient is status post cholecystectomy with mild central intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary dilatation with no evidence for choledocholithiasis. Of note, the stent is noted still within the distal common bile duct and is draining freely into the third portion of the duodenum. 2.

You were admitted to the hospital with abdominal pain and nausea. You were evaluated by the Medical, Surgical, and ERCP teams. You had imaging studies done, including a CT scan, a HIDA scan and an MRCP (MRI) which did not show any evidence of bile leak. You still have a fluid collection in your abdomen which is most likely a resolving blood clot (hematoma). On the CT scan, it was noted that your previously placed pancreatic stent had migrated and was now in the small intestine. This stent should pass on its own through your GI tract. . New Medications: 1. Phenergan . Please follow-up with your doctors as listed below. You will see a Gastroenterologist affiliated with your PCP's office. You will need to have a follow-up x-ray of your abdomen to evaluate for passage of the stent. .

Dear Mr. ___, It was a pleasure caring for you during your hospitalization at the ___. You were admitted for abdominal pain, diarrhea, and blood in your stool. We did a CT scan of your abdomen, a sigmoidoscopy, and tests for infection. Based on these tests, and the recommendations of our gastroenterology doctors, we found that you have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. We also did tests that showed that you do not have a gastrointestinal infection. We gave you steroids IV then switched you to take steroids as a pill. We also monitored your symptoms, and had a nutritionist talk with you about nutritional tips for people with ulcerative colitis. Please take your medications as instructed, including prednisone 40 mg orally once daily- this will be the dose until you see your GI doctors on ___. Please also take a calcium and vitamin D supplement while you are taking prednisone, because prednisone can lower your calcium levels. Please follow up with your scheduled primary care and gastroenterology appointments (see below). Please seek medical attention urgently if you develop any concerning symptoms, including bloody stool, severe abdominal pain, or fever. Sincerely, Your ___ Care Team

Chief Complaint: RLE numbness and weakness Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: none History of Present Illness: The pt is a ___ year-old R-handed woman with PMHx of partial seizures and a recent dental infection with numerous complications who presents with RLE weakness and numbness on the R foot. The patient's recent history begins on ___ when she had a cavity filled and then had air tracking into the R side of her face with eyelid swelling. This then tracked into her neck and mediastinum. She was seen at ___ where she had unequal pupils, nystagmus, blurred vision and difficulty with tandem gait. She had a NCHCT there that was read as no acute intracranial abnormalities and a CT neck that showed extensive subcutaneous emphysema throughout the bilateral cervical soft tissues extending to the right orbit superiorly and right supraclavicular fossa and superior mediatsium inferiorly. She was given IV augmentin and pain medication and was discharged on ___ on PO augmentin after her neurological sx resolved. She continued to have facial pain at home, which slowly resolved. Then on ___ around 7pm she had the sudden onset of "excruciating" abdominal pain in the middle of her abdomen. She lay upside down on the stairs and this made it feel "a little bit better". She went to the ___ where she was noted to have a temperature of 102.5. She had blood cultures done which were negative and a CXR which was also negative. She was changed from augmentin to clindamycin (which she was supposed to take until ___. She also at this time started to notice a dull chest pressure. On ___ in the morning she noticed that the tip of her R ___ finger and the tips of her L ___ and ___ R finger were dusky and dark. She saw her PCP also on the ___, and he ordered an echo for concern of endocarditis. The echo was read as normal. She also got a "spiral CT of the torso" at ___ given her chest pain and this was read as normal except for some incidentaal small granulomas, per the patient that they felt could be worked up non-urgently. The CT showed interval resolution of the cutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum. Then on ___ and ___ she felt "better", but still with some mild chest pressure. She went for a run on the ___ without any issues. She also flew to ___ on ___. On ___ she had "terrible diarrhea" so she stopped her clindamycin 1 day early. She returned home without incident from her trip. She saw her oral surgeon who prescribed her with an antibiotic mouthwash on ___, but that same evening she had the onset of the same mid jaw pain up to her R eardrum that she had had previously with the crepitus, but this time there was no sensation of "crackling" under her skin. She did feel feverish on that day also. She still ahd some augmentin left over from her previous Rx, so she took that BID. On ___ she no longer had jaw pain. Then today (___) she went to church, and when looking up she felt "dizzy" and "funky", but when pressed to explain the sensation more she was unable to better describe it. This went away if she looked straight or down and would return when she looked up again. This happened at 11am. Shortly after that she felt like she had difficulty paying attention. She went home and at around 1pm she went for a run. She was able to run ___ of a mile before she felt her R leg "fly out from under me". She slumped to the ground but didn't fall. She tried to "walk it off" and had no difficulty with walking. Then she tried to run again and her R leg "flew out again". She again slumped to the ground but didn't fall. She had numbness of her R foot below her ankle at this time. She was again able to walk, and then again tried to run and this time also had the same sensation and was forced to walk the rest of the distance to her car. When she got into her car, she felt unsafe driving home because she "could barely press down on the accelerator" and so she called her husband, who brought her to the ___. There, she had a ___ that was read as showing a "basilar artery issue". She was transferred to ___ for further workup as there was no MRI tech available there. In the ___ at ___, the patient reported that her numbness improved slowly. However, she had some involuntary movements that she felt were seizures in the ___. Starting at 5:30pm she had ___ seconds of bilateral leg shaking, which self-resolved. She had 4 more episodses like this between 5:30pm and 6:15pm and each time she felt that the shaking got a "little bit more severe". Then at 6:15pm she had an episode lasting 5 seconds where her bilateral arms and legs were shaking. She reports that she "looked down and thought, I can't stop these". Her husband witnessed the shaking. She had another episode with arm and leg shaking shortly after this one. She was given 2mg IV ativan.

Dr. ___ supervised the trainees during the key components of the procedure and reviewed and agrees with the trainee's findings. TECHNIQUE: The risks, benefits, and alternatives of the procedure were explained to the patient. After a detailed discussion, informed written consent was obtained. A pre-procedure timeout using three patient identifiers was performed per ___ protocol. The patient was placed in a supine position on the CT scan table. Limited preprocedure CT scan was performed to localize the collection. Based on the CT findings an appropriate skin entry site for the aspiration was chosen. The site was marked. Local anesthesia was administered with 1% Lidocaine solution. Using intermittent CT fluoroscopic guidance, an 18-G ___ needle was inserted into the collection. A sample of fluid was aspirated, confirming needle position within the collection. A WIRE WAS ADVANCED THROUGH THE NEEDLE IN anticipation of catheter placement, however the wire coiled at the tip of the needle, due to septations in the collection. The ___ needle was then repositioned into a different pocket which again was too small for catheter placement. Approximately 5 cc of purulent fluid were aspirated at both needle positions with a sample sent for microbiology evaluation. The needle was then removed. Sterile dressing was applied. The procedure was tolerated well, and there were no immediate post-procedural complications. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Spiral Acquisition 8.5 s, 26.1 cm; CTDIvol = 20.4 mGy (Body) DLP = 506.0 mGy-cm. 2) Stationary Acquisition 9.8 s, 1.4 cm; CTDIvol = 101.6 mGy (Body) DLP = 146.3 mGy-cm.

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Ambulatory - requires assistance or aid (walker or cane). Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report HISTORY: Spine and left shoulder pain. TECHNIQUE: Supine frontal radiograph. COMPARISON: Chest radiograph ___ FINDINGS: The heart size is mildly enlarged. The cardiomediastinal silhouette and hilar contour is stable. There is stable mild widening of the mediastinal contour likely related to tortuous aorta. There is stable cephalization of the pulmonary vasculature compatible with congestion. There is no focal consolidation, effusion or pneumothorax. There is anterior dislocation of the left shoulder better visualized on same date dedicated glenohumeral joint radiographs. There are extensive degenerative changes of the right glenohumeral joint. IMPRESSION: 1. Left anterior shoulder dislocation. 2. Pulmonary vascular congestion. Radiology Report EXAM: Left shoulder, three views. CLINICAL INFORMATION: Left shoulder pain. ___. FINDINGS: Three views of the left shoulder were obtained. Again seen, there is persistent anterior dislocation/subluxation of the left humeral head in relation to the glenoid. No definite acute fracture is seen. Degenerative changes are seen involving the left shoulder as well as the left acromioclavicular joint. A surgical clip is again seen projecting over the left mid hemithorax. Partially imaged left lung demonstrates low lung volumes and please see dedicated chest radiograph for further evaluation. IMPRESSION: Persistent anterior inferior displacement of the left humeral head in relation to the glenoid. Radiology Report EXAM: Lumbar spine, AP and lateral views. CLINICAL INFORMATION: Head and spine pain. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: AP and lateral views of lumbar spine were obtained. There are multilevel degenerative changes including severe intervertebral disc space narrowing throughout and marginal sclerosis with anterior osteophytosis. It is difficult to exclude a subtle fracture particularly at the lumbosacral junction and if it is of high clinical concern, CT is more sensitive and should be considered. There is minimal dextroscoliosis of the lumbar spine. Patient is status post bilateral hip replacement with prosthesis partially imaged; the femoral component of the prosthesis on the right appears to be slightly superior in location in relation to the acetabular cup, unclear whether this is due to positioning. The pubic symphysis is intact as there are vascular calcifications. The sacrum is partially obscured by bowel gas. IMPRESSION: Multilevel severe degenerative changes, difficult to assess the lumbosacral junction particularly L5. If there is high clinical concern for acute fracture, CT is more sensitive and should be considered. Radiology Report EXAM: Right knee, three views. CLINICAL INFORMATION: Right knee pain. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: Three views of the right knee were obtained. Patient is status post right knee replacement with prosthesis in anatomic alignment. On the oblique image, there is a subtle lucency projecting obliquely along the lateral distal femur which is felt to most likely be artifactual, not well seen on the other images. There appears to be a small suprapatellar joint effusion. IMPRESSION: Status post right knee arthroplasty with prosthesis in anatomic alignment. On the oblique image, there is a linear lucency projecting over the lateral distal femur thought to most likely be artifactual. Not seen on the additional images. Small suprapatellar joint effusion. Radiology Report HISTORY: Status post unwitnessed fall presenting with head and spine pain. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT images of the head were obtained without IV contrast. Multiplanar reformatted images were generated in the coronal and sagittal planes as well as thin section bone algorithm images. DLP: 1538.57 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: None available. FINDINGS: There is no acute intracranial hemorrhage, edema, mass effect or acute large territory infarct. Prominent ventricles and sulci are suggestive of age-related involutional change. The basal cisterns appear patent and there is preservation of gray-white matter differentiation. No fracture is identified. The visualized paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells and middle ear cavities are clear. Atherosclerotic calcifications are visualized in the vertebral arteries and carotid siphons. IMPRESSION: No acute intracranial process. Radiology Report HISTORY: Status post unwitnessed fall presenting with head and spine pain. TECHNIQUE: Axial helical MDCT images were obtained from skull base to the level of C3-C4. Multiplanar reformatted images were generated in the coronal and sagittal planes. DLP: 830.25 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: None available. FINDINGS: There is posterior non-fusion of C1 which is likely congenital. No acute fracture is identified. No traumatic malalignment is identified. There are severe degenerative changes of the cervical spine with most severe degenerative change and complete fusion of C5-C6. Grade 1 anterolisthesis of C7 on T1 is likely chronic and degenerative in nature. Prominent posterior osteophytes at the level of C3-C4 and C5-C6 minimally indents the thecal sac. There is significant facet joint and uncovertebral hypertrophy which narrow the neural foramina at multiple levels. Coarse calcifications medial to the right mandible in the soft tissue possibly represent sialoliths however there is no enlargement of the associated submandibular gland. The imaged lung apices are clear. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence of fracture or traumatic malalignment. 2. Severe degenerative changes as noted above.

You were admitted for low blood pressure and bleeding from your bottom. This was most likely caused by an ulcer in your stomach, which was seen on EGD (a procedure to look down your throat into your stomach). It will be important for you to STOP TAKING PLAVIX AND INDOMETHACIN!! You should also avoid ALL NSAIDs, like ibuprofen as these medications put you at a risk of more bleeding. Please make an appointment with your primary doctor as soon as possible after discharge, and discuss referral to a gastroenterologist. You should also make sure to follow-up the results of the H. pylori test (the bacteria that can lead to ulcers in the stomach). Please note the following medication changes: -Please DO NOT TAKE PLAVIX -Please DO NOT TAKE INDOMETHACIN or other NSAIDs -Please START omeprazole to reduce the amount of acid in your stomach -Please discuss with the doctor at dialysis whether your blood pressure is at a safe level after dialysis to start your blood pressure medications. These are: --Atenolol --Amlodipine --Dyazide. If safe, you should consider first re-starting atenolol, then amlodipine. You should also discuss this with your primary doctor. - Increase renvela to 800 mg three times a day with meals, as your phosphate was high during this admission. Please discuss this dosing with your kidney doctor.

He was discharged home and when he came back for follow up four days, he was found to have hyperkalemia and ___ from his bloodwork. For his cellulitis, he was initially treated with empiric IV vancomycin and zosyn, transitioned to PO bactrim, cipro, and flagyl per wound culture showing polymicrobial growth (notably MRSA and GNR's). His foot ulcer and cellulitis improved significantly and the pain subsided. Additionally, the leg swelling associated with cellulitis improved. However, he reports that he did not feel great even after the treatment. He reported frequent large volume urination, even though he was drinking just ___ coffees a day. He reported that he was feeling tired, and he did not want to move because of aches. The abnormal elevated Creat, hyperkalemia and hyponatremia prompted ED admission. Notably, the patient reported constipation for 6 days. Today he had a small bowel movement but he still feels bloated. He reported that he had a rectal exam in the ED yesterday and the MD did not think that he was impacted or had stool in the rectal vault. In the ED, initial vitals were: 22:11 0 97.8 63 167/55 16 99% RA - Labs were significant for initial K 6.0 with creat 1.7, Na130, u/a negative. - ECG showed QWI in I/AVL and TWI AVL consistent with prior with no peaked T waves - Foot xray showed a foreign object - needle inside his foot. - The patient was given 500cc NS, 10U regular insulin, 25gm 50% dextrose, 2g calcium gluconate, 1500mg IV vancomycin.

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

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ female with lower abdominal pain. Evaluate for kidney stone or other source of abdominal pain. COMPARISON: None. TECHNIQUE: Non-contrast followed by post-contrast MDCT imaging of the abdomen and pelvis performed. Axial, coronal, and sagittal reformats were prepared and reviewed. CT ABDOMEN WITH AND WITHOUT INTRAVENOUS CONTRAST: Visualized lung bases are clear. There is no nodule, mass, or consolidation. There is no pleural or pericardial effusion. The liver is normal in size and attenuation. There is no intra- or extra-hepatic biliary ductal dilation, and the gallbladder is normal. The hepatic and portal veins are patent. The spleen, pancreas, and adrenal glands are normal. There is symmetric renal parenchymal enhancement. There is no hydronephrosis. Incidental note is made of partial duplication of the left renal collecting system, extending to the level of the mid ureter. Stomach, duodenum, and intra-abdominal loops of small and large bowel are normal. There is no bowel distension or bowel wall thickening. There is no free air. The aorta and mesenteric vessels are normal in caliber. There is no mesenteric or retroperitoneal adenopathy. CT PELVIS WITH INTRAVENOUS CONTRAST: Distal ureters and bladder are normal. Uterus is unremarkable, as is the left adnexa. However, at the right posterior aspect of the uterus, there is a mixed solid and cystic lesion likely representing ovary, measuring up to 7.5 x 6.0 x 7.1 cm. There is no significant surrounding inflammatory change, though small amount of fluid is seen dependently adjacent to the anterior abdominal wall (scanned prone). Portions of this right adnexal lesion are hyperdense on pre-contrast images, which could represent hemorrhage, with no enhancement following contrast administration. There is no associated fat within the lesion. There is no calcification. BONE WINDOWS: There are degenerative changes in the lower lumbar spine at L4-5 and L5-S1. There are no lytic or sclerotic lesions concerning for malignancy. IMPRESSION: 1. Right adnexal mass, likely ovarian in origin. Given the clinical history, resulting ovarian torsion cannot be excluded, and ultrasound of the pelvis is recommended for further evaluation. Trace dependent free fluid. 2. Incidentally noted partially duplicated left renal collecting system. Dr. ___ was informed by phone by Dr. ___ at 9:45 a.m. on ___. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ female with abdominal pain and right ovarian abnormality seen on CT. COMPARISON: CT, ___. LMP: Unknown. The patient is perimenopausal. PELVIC ULTRASOUND: Transabdominal and endovaginal imaging of the pelvis was performed, the latter to better evaluate the endometrium and adnexa. The uterus measures 10.5 x 4.2 x 5.9 cm. There are no focal uterine abnormalities. The endometrium is 9 mm in thickness, without focal abnormality. The left ovary is normal in size and appearance, with normal arterial and venous waveforms. However, what appears to be the right ovary is markedly enlarged, measuring up to 7.8 x 3.6 x 6.2 cm. It contains a single large simple cyst, measuring up to 3.7 cm, and a second rounded echogenic lesion, measuring 3.9 cm, which could represent a solid mass or a markedly complex hemorrhagic cyst. No flow can be demonstrated within this; however, flow can also not be well seen within the remainder of the right ovary, which could all be secondary to ovarian torsion given the patient's pain, with these large ovarian lesions acting as lead points. Moderate amount of complex free fluid is also seen in the pelvis. IMPRESSION: 1. Large right ovary, measuring up to 7.8 cm, with two lesions within. One is a simple cyst, the other may be a solid mass or a complex hemorrhagic cyst. No flow is seen within the possible mass or the ovary in general, which strongly suggests a consideration of ovarian torsion. 2. Moderate free complex fluid, likely hemorrhage. 3. Thickened endometrium measuring 9 mm, should be correlated with the patient's hormonal status. Discussed in detail with OB-GYN service by Dr ___. Operative exploration was performed.

RIGHT TIBIA/FIBULA: There is an transverse fracture through the mid diaphysis of the right tibia. Comminuted mid fibular fracture is also identified. There is significant rotation at the fracture site with the distal fracture fragments rotated laterally. Significant lateral displacement and foreshortening seen at the tibial fracture fragment. RIGHT ANKLE: A transversely oriented, lucent line is seen extending through the distal tibial metaphysis, suggestive of a nondisplaced fracture extending to the syndesmosis. The ankle mortise is symmetric and preserved. Plantar calcaneal spurring is noted. IMPRESSION: Fractures through the mid diaphysis of the right tibia and fibula. Nondisplaced distal fibular fracture. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST INDICATION: History: ___ with MVC // ICH? Fx? TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial MDCT images were obtained through the brain without the administration of IV contrast. Reformatted coronal, sagittal and thin section bone algorithm-reconstructed images were then generated. DOSE: CTDIvol: 52.8 mGy DLP: 1003.42 mGy-cm COMPARISON: None available. FINDINGS: There is no evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage, edema, mass effect, or large territorial infarction. Prominent ventricles and sulci suggest age-related involutional changes or atrophy. The basal cisterns appear patent and there is preservation of gray-white matter differentiation. A large, subgaleal hematoma and soft tissue swelling is noted extending along the right frontoparietal region. A rounded, focal high-density structure adjacent overlying the right parietal region has the appearance of a partially calcified sebaceous cyst, although foreign body following a head striking against the ground is also possible. No displaced skull fracture is identified. The paranasal sinuses, middle ear cavities, and mastoid air cells are clear. The orbits are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage. 2. Large right frontoparietal subgaleal hematoma with possible calcific foreign body material versus partially calcified sebaceous cyst. No underlying displaced fracture is identified. 3. Moderate cerebral volume loss. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT C-spine without contrast. INDICATION: ___ with MVC // ICH? Fx? TECHNIQUE: 2.5 mm helical axial MDCT sections were obtained from the skull base through the cervical spine. Axial images were interpreted in conjunction with coronal and sagittal reformats. CTDIvol: 36.98 MGy DLP: ___ MGy-cm COMPARISON: None available. FINDINGS: There is no definitive evidence of acute fracture or traumatic malalignment. There is no prevertebral soft tissue abnormality. Mild anterolisthesis of C4 on C5 and retrolisthesis of C5 on C6 is age indeterminate, but likely degenerative. Moderate, multilevel degenerative changes are noted throughout the cervical spine, most significant at the level of C5-C6 with loss of intervertebral disc height, endplate sclerosis, uncovertebral joint hypertrophy, and osteophytosis. There is a least mild canal narrowing and moderate to severe right foraminal narrowing at this level. Sclerosis with irregularity of endplates suggests degenerative changes potentially Schmorl's nodes at the inferior endplates of C5 and C6. A 3 mm, hypodense, right thyroid nodule is noted. No lymphadenopathy is present by CT size criteria. Incidentally noted is a 5 mm pulmonary nodule in the right lung apex. The visualized lung apices are otherwise clear. IMPRESSION: 1. No definitive evidence of acute fracture. 2. Mild anterolisthesis of C4 on C5 and retrolisthesis of C5 on C6, age indeterminate and likely degenerative. Recommend clinical correlation. 3. Moderate degenerative changes of the cervical spine, most notable at C5-C6. 4. Incidental, 5 mm right upper lobe solid pulmonary nodule.

CLINICAL INFORMATION: ___ female with history of shortness of breath and pneumonia. ___. FINDINGS: Single AP portable view of the chest was obtained. The patient is status post median sternotomy hardware/sternal fixation devices are again seen. There has been interval placement of a left subclavian central venous catheter, possibly a PICC, terminating in the distal SVC. Cardiac and mediastinal silhouettes are stable. There is moderate pulmonary vascular congestion. Minimal blunting of the right costophrenic angle may be due to a trace effusion. Left base retrocardiac opacity most likely represents atelectasis, less likely consolidation. Otherwise, no definite focal consolidation is seen. There is no pneumothorax. Radiology Report EXAM: Chest, single supine AP portable view. CLINICAL INFORMATION: ___ female status post intubation with increased work of breathing: ___. FINDINGS: Supine AP portable view of the chest was obtained. There is interval placement of an endotracheal tube terminating just above the level of the clavicles. The exact level of the carina is difficult to determine due to patient's overlying sternotomy hardware. An orogastric tube is seen coursing below the level of the diaphragm, inferior aspect not included on the images. Left subclavian central venous catheter terminates at the distal SVC/cavoatrial junction. Mild pulmonary vascular congestion appears improved. There is mild bibasilar atelectasis. Radiology Report INDICATION: Mental status change. COMPARISON: CT available from ___. TECHNIQUE: MDCT-acquired 5-mm axial images of the head were obtained without the use of IV contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations were performed at 2-mm slice thickness. FINDINGS: There is no evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage, edema, mass, mass effect, or large vascular territorial infarction. The ventricles and sulci are mildly prominent, reflective of diffuse cortical atrophy. There is relative hypoattenuation of the periventricular white matter, compatible with chronic microvascular ischemic disease. Mild mucosal thickening within the ethmoid and left maxillary sinus is again seen (2:8). The middle ear cavities and mastoid air cells are clear. Oropharyngeal secretions are seen likely secondary to intubation. IMPRESSION: No acute intracranial process. Radiology Report INDICATION: Hypoxia. COMPARISON: CT available from ___. TECHNIQUE: MDCT-acquired 2.5-mm axial images of the chest were obtained prior to and following the uneventful administration of 100 cc of Omnipaque intravenous contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations were performed at 5-mm slice thickness. Additional right and left oblique reconstructions were also obtained for further evaluation of the pulmonary vessels. FINDINGS: The patient is status post median sternotomy and CABG, with broken sternal wires and multiple metallic sternal plates denoting sternal dehiscence repair. Partially calcified 2-cm circumscribed subcutaneous structure anterior to the sternum (3:28) is unchanged, likely reflecting a focus of fat necrosis. No adjacent fluid collections are detected. The heart size is top normal. The great vessels are normal in caliber. No aortic dissection is detected. Apparent filling defects are seen at the lateral edge of the right distal main pulmonary artery (3:25). However, there is marked patient motion throughout the study, and this may represent a false positive from motion-related artifact. On the oblique reconstructions, there is an apparent right posterior segmental filling defect (___), however, this is also incompletely assessed due to motion. No other filling defects are appreciated. There are trace bilateral pleural effusions (3:51). There is mild central venous congestion with minimal interstitial edema. An endotracheal tube terminates within the distal trachea (2:10). An orogastric tube terminates within the lumen of the stomach. Included views of the spleen, adrenal glands, liver, pancreas, stomach, and kidneys are normal. OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: There is no acute fracture. No concerning blastic or lytic lesions are identified. IMPRESSION: 1. Equivocal linear filling defects within the right lower lobar and segmental pulmonary arterial branches may represent artifact from severe patient motion vs pulmonary embolism. Consilder followup examination in 24 hours for further assessment. 2. Trace bilateral pleural effusions. 3. Post-CABG and sternal dehiscence repair surgeries. Radiology Report INDICATION: Evaluate for effusions. COMPARISONS: Chest radiograph ___. CTA chest ___. FINDINGS: Since the prior radiograph, a right internal jugular central line has been placed and ends in the upper SVC. There is no pneumothorax. A left PICC ends in the mid SVC. An endotracheal tube is approximately 5.5 cm from the carina and unchanged in appearance. A feeding tube is seen within the stomach. Sternal hardware is intact and unchanged. The cardiomediastinal silhouette is stable and has a normal postoperative expected appearance. There is mild pulmonary vascular congestion but no pulmonary edema. Bibasilar atelectasis is unchanged. There are no definite pleural effusions. There is no new consolidation. IMPRESSION: 1. New right internal jugular central line ends in the upper SVC. No pneumothorax. 2. Stable bibasilar atelectasis. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ female with sepsis and acidosis, status post CABG and sternal wound re-plating, here to assess for ___ source of infection. COMPARISON: No prior studies available. TECHNIQUE: CTA of the abdomen and pelvis was performed prior to and after the uneventful administration of 100 cc of Visipaque intravenous contrast. Coronally and sagittally reformatted images were generated and reviewed. FINDINGS: CTA OF THE ABDOMEN: Limited supradiaphragmatic evaluation shows the patient is status post median sternotomy and CABG, now with metallic sternal plate denoting sternal dehiscence repair. No adjacent fluid collections are detected anterior to the pericardium. Two mediastinal drains are in place. Limited evaluation of the heart shows top normal size but no pericardial effusion. Trace bilateral pleural effusions with associated compressive atelectasis are present in the lung bases. No pulmonary nodule, opacity, or focal consolidation is seen. The liver enhances homogeneously without focal liver lesions. The hepatic arterial anatomy is conventional. No intra- or extra-hepatic biliary dilation is seen. The gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, and bilateral adrenal glands are unremarkable. Both kidneys demonstrate striated nephrograms which is more pronounced on the right than the left, but excrete contrast normally. No perinephric stranding is appreciated. No intrarenal stones, hydronephrosis, or solid renal masses are appreciated. A small exophytic hypodensity in the right kidney measures 1 cm and cannot be accurately characterized by CT, but likely represents a renal cyst. A nasogastric tube is seen terminating in the stomach. The ___ loops of small and large bowel are unremarkable without evidence of wall thickening or obstruction. No free air or ascites is present. No pathologically enlarged lymph nodes are identified in the retroperitoneal or mesenteric regions. There is calcified atherosclerosis of the infrarenal abdominal aorta extending into the iliac arteries bilaterally. CTA OF THE PELVIS: The rectum, sigmoid colon, uterus, and bilateral adnexa are unremarkable. The urinary bladder is almost completely decompressed by a Foley catheter in appropriate position. There is no free pelvic fluid or inguinal lymphadenopathy. OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: No suspicious lytic or sclerotic lesions are identified. IMPRESSION: 1. Evidence of bilateral pyelonephritis more pronounced on the right than the left without associated nephrolithiasis or hydronephrosis. 2. No other findings to suggest ___ infection. Radiology Report PA AND LATERAL CHEST COMPARISON: ___, chest radiograph. FINDINGS: Left PICC and endotracheal tube have been removed as well as midline drains and nasogastric tube. Right internal jugular vascular catheter remains in standard position. Cardiomediastinal contours are stable in the postoperative period in this patient, status post prior cardiovascular surgery and sternal closure procedure.

Chief Complaint: s/p fall Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: None History of Present Illness: Mr. ___ is an ___ year old man with dementia, TIA, pulmonary fibrosis, ataxia with prior falls (most recently ___ who presented from his assisted living facility after a fall. He is very demented at baseline and does not recall any of the circumstances surrounding the fall. The staff at the nursing home noted scrapes on his knees and they were concerned that his mental status was "not normal." In speaking with his health care proxy, he was not as interactive as he usually is and it was difficult to get him to respond to any questions, so he was sent into the the hospital. No other trauma was noted aside from the scraped knees. In the ED, initial vitals were 97.8 95 151/120 18 98%. Exam was notable for his baseline dementia, with knee abrasions bilaterally. His labs were notable for creatinine of 1.2 (from baseline of 1.0) and BUN of 28. His WBC count was 11.5 with 92% PMNs (prior hospitalization 10.4 - 11.5). He had a CT head and C-spine which were unremarkable, CXR without pneumonia, and hip and pelvis x-rays which were unremarkable as well. He was noted to be in atrial fibrillation with RVR with rates in the 130s for approximately one hour. This resolved with 2L NS without the need for rate control medications. He also received 500 mg acetaminophen before being admitted to medicine for monitoring for a complaint of back pain. On arrival to the floor, vital signs were 98.1 119/73 82 18 95%RA. He has no specific complaints and clearly reports that he is not in any pain. In speaking with his neice who is his health care proxy, the circumstances surrounding the fall are unclear. She was worried in the Emergency Department because the patient was not speaking as much as he normally does. She also noted that they recently discontinued many of his medications in an effort to simplify his medication regimen. On review of systems, denies fever, chills, headache, cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, BRBPR, melena, hematochezia, dysuria, hematuria.

Dear Mr. ___, It was a pleasure taking care of you at the ___. You were admitted to the hospital because you fell at your assisted living facility. Nobody saw you fall, so we don't know exactly why this happened, but you were dehydrated when you arrived and your heart rate was fast, so these may be contributing. It is also likely that your underlying dementia and your balance problems put you at a higher risk for a fall. We recommend that your facility takes measures to help prevent you from falling such as lowering the height of your bed, putting soft mats on the floor near your bed, and helping you when you need to walk somewhere. Because you were in a heart rate called atrial fibrillation, we discussed starting blood thinners with your health care proxy. Because of your frequent falls and recent bleeding in your brain, there is substantial risk with blood thinners, so they were not started. We did start you on a medication to slow your heart called metoprolol. Please discuss this with your primary care doctor.

Patient noticed onset of sudden, sharp left sided chest pain that radiated to the back and left arm the night prior to admission. She had just finished walking home from the ___ in her ___ building and had sat down in her residence when she noticed onset of sharp left sided chest pain. The pain occurred at rest and was not associated with exertion. She denied any nausea, vomiting, diaphoresis, palpitations, shortness of breath or lightheadedness. She took a baby aspirin but the pain persisted so she presented to the ___ emergency department. At the ___, exam was notable for left chostochondral junction tenderness. CTA was done which was originally read as no pulmonary embolus and no dissection. She was placed in observation status for 2 sets of cardiac biomarkers and was going to be discharged, but radiology reread the CTA as possible small focal type B dissection. She was transferred to ___ ___ for further monitoring and workup. At ___, she received ASA 324 mg, morphine, and Zofran 5 mg. In the ___ ___, initial vitals were T 98.6 HR 96 BP 123/64 RR 18 SaO2 98% on RA. Labs were notable for a normal troponin, CK and CK-MB. EKG showed sinus rhythmn with left axis deviation and left ventricular hypertrophy. Vascular surgery was consulted regarding the possible aortic dissection. After their review of the images, they felt a dissection was not present and recommended admission to medicine to complete the biomarker series to exclude myocardial infarction, BP control, and repeat aortic imaging. Patient was given morphine 2 mg and Dilaudid 1 mg IV for pain control and admitted to cardiology. On review of systems, she denies any prior history of stroke, TIA, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, bleeding at the time of surgery, myalgias, joint pains, cough, hemoptysis, black stools or red stools. She denies recent fevers, chills or rigors. She denies exertional buttock or calf pain. All of the other review of systems were negative. Cardiac review of systems is notable for absence of dyspnea on exertion, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, orthopnea, ankle edema, palpitations, syncope or presyncope. On arrival to the floor, patient stated that she feels well and that her pain is well controlled. On further questioning, patient reports that she exercises regularly and is active in water aerobics.

He was last in his normal state of health ten days ago when he awoke. As he was driving to work, he noticed a sensation that things were "cloudy and in slow motion." When he got to work he felt that his walking was not quite right, and that there was a "skip in the step." There were ___ other associated symptoms and he brushed it off. His symptoms were similar the next day, but on ___ (eight days ago) he woke up with significantly worsened gait. He went to work, where he was "staggering around" so much that they drove him home. The main symptom seems to have been unsteadiness at this time. He does not recall feeling any sensation of vertigo. He denies diplopia, dysarthria, incoordination, weakness or numbness. He saw his PCP briefly on ___, who prescribed him meclizine and prednisone. He took these faithfully over the next week without improvement or clear worsening in his symptoms. He was in communication with his PCP throughout and when he did not improve with this treatment, his PCP recommended that he come to the ED for evaluation and MRI. Regarding his history of L ICA aneurysm, he initially presented to an OSH is ___ with transient symptoms of dizziness. He had an MRI brain which was concerning for aneurysm, and a CTA head confirmed this. As a result, he underwent open clipping with Dr. ___ in ___. The procedure was complicated by L ICA occlusion. During his hospitalization he had transient right pronator drift which resolved prior to discharge. One week after discharge he presented to OSH ED with a sensation of fullness after sneezing; at that point a CT head was done. Per my review this showed a new small left parietooccipital junction infarct (watershed vs distal MCA). He subsequently complained of persistent diplopia and blurry vision and was evaluated in ___ clinic. That examination was notable for "Left relative afferent pupillary defect was present. Confrontation fields were full in the right eye. In the left eye, he was able to count fingers in the upper quadrants, but could only see hand movements in the inferotemporal quadrant and could not see hand movements in the inferonasal quadrant." This was thought to be most likely due to a branch retinal artery occlusion, and ___ further intervention was performed. One year after the initial procedure he underwent removal of the microplate and screw which was protruding. Then, in ___ presented with month-long headache (he tells me it was midline and deep). MRI/MRA was performed at OSH and was concerning for recanalization of aneurysm. CTA head was repeated here and appeared consistent with recanalization. He reports that he spoke with neurosurgery and was told that this was likely an artifact. Several years ago he had the acute onset of right vocal cord paralysis which was worked up at ___ and ___ etiology was found. He underwent a surgical procedure to medialize the vocal cord and since that time has had persistent but stable hoarseness. On neuro ROS, the pt reports since the aneurysm clipping he has intermittent "thunderclap headache," which improves with ibuprofen and rest, chronically blurred vision in the left eye, diplopia initially which subsequently resolved. He denies dysarthria, dysphagia, lightheadedness, vertigo, tinnitus or hearing difficulty. Denies difficulties producing or comprehending speech. Denies focal weakness, numbness, parasthesiae. ___ bowel or bladder incontinence or retention. On general review of systems, he endorses fatigue; he has been napping during the day for the past week which is unusual for him. Otherwise, the pt denies recent fever or chills. ___ night sweats or recent weight loss or gain. Denies cough, shortness of breath. Denies chest pain or tightness, palpitations. Denies nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation or abdominal pain. ___ recent change in bowel or bladder habits. ___ dysuria. Denies arthralgias or myalgias. Denies rash.

The left mastoid air cells and middle ear cavities are clear. Orbits are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: 1. No acute intracranial abnormality. 2. Opacification of the right mastoid air cells may represent mastoiditis or eustachian tube dysfunction. There is no evidence of bony remodeling. NOTE ADDED IN ATTENDING REVIEW: The fluid-opacification of many of the right mastoid air cells is not significantly changed from the non-enhanced MR study of ___, when there was no definite corresponding slow diffusion. This is unlikely to reflect eustachian tube dysfunction, as the ipsilateral middle ear cavity is completely clear. Correlate with clinical signs of mastoiditis. Radiology Report MRI BRAIN WITH AND WITHOUT CONTRAST, ___ INDICATION: ___ man with severe headache, question of trigeminal neuralgia. Evaluate for compression of trigeminal nerves. COMPARISON: Non-contrast head CT performed earlier on the same day, and ___ brain MRI. TECHNIQUE: Sagittal T1-weighted, and axial diffusion-weighted and FLAIR images of the brain were obtained. High-resolution axial T2-weighted gradient echo three-dimensional images through the cranial nerves were obtained with coronal reformations. Following intravenous gadolinium administration, axial MP-RAGE images of the brain with multiplanar reformations, axial T1-weighted images of the brain, and coronal high-resolution T1-weighted images through the cranial nerves, were obtained. FINDINGS: Artifacts at the vertex are noted on the current MRI as well as on the ___ MRI. These are likely related to the patient's dreadlocks, which are seen on the CT scan earlier today, and which were also noted in the MR technologist notes in ___. There is no evidence for a mass or abnormal contrast enhancement along the trigeminal nerves. Trigeminal nerves appear symmetric in size and signal intensity. There is a vein crossing the trigeminal nerve root entry zone on each side. There is no evidence of signal abnormalities in the brainstem or elsewhere in the brain parenchyma on diffusion-weighted, FLAIR, or post-contrast images. Ventricles, sulci, and basal cisterns are normal in size for age. There is mild mucosal thickening in bilateral ethmoidal air cells. There is opacification of right mastoid air cells with a T1 and T2 hyperintense material, indicating viscous material rather than simple fluid. The preceding CT demonstrates no evidence for osseous erosion. Bilateral middle ear cavities and left mastoid air cells are clear. IMPRESSION: 1. There is a vein crossing the trigeminal nerve root entry zones on each side. Similar findings may be associated with trigeminal neuralgia, but may also be seen in asymptomatic patients, and clinical correlation is needed. 2. Chronic opacification of right mastoid air cells with apparent viscous material, without evidence for osseous destruction on the preceding CT scan, and without middle ear cavity involvement. Please correlate clinically with any signs of chronic infection.

Dear Mr. ___, You were admitted for severe worsening headache. You underwent a Head CT which was normal as well as an MRI of your brain which was also normal. We trialed different medications for your headache including Depakote and Steroids which did not improve your headache. You were restarted on your home Gabapentin and on three days of Indomethacin as well as continued on home Oxycodone for pain. You were also started on Flexeril for muscle spasms. Given persistent headache, we increased your oxycodone after discussion with the Pain team here and your Primary Care Provider, Dr. ___. You also underwent occipital nerve blocks twice during your hospitalization and preaurical nerve block once with some relief of symptoms. You also received Toradol and Magnesium to aid in headache relief. Your headache improved during your hospital stay. Please keep your Neurology clinic, Pain center, and Primary Care provider appointments as listed below. Please also follow-up with your Psychiatrist following discharge. If you develop worsening of headache and would like for Dr. ___ to perform another nerve block, please call his office ___ to schedule. It was a pleasure taking care of you.

He apparently experienced an unwitnessed fall, but may have had a syncopal episode. When he was found on the floor, he was conscious and mentating well. The story is not clear given underlying dementia. CT Neck revealed a cervical spine fracture. He was hospitalized in ___ for urinary retention with a urinary tract infection with indwelling foley catheter since that time. Patient lives in assisted-living, has help with ADLs/AIDLs. He does not use any assistive devices except glasses. Patient has fallen once in the past in setting of illness about ___ years ago. He states that he remembered the whole episode this morning. He denies any associated chest pain/discomfort, shortness of breath, "black outs," warmness, seizure activity. He states that he was looking for something and "went to the ground." He denies loss of consciousness and remembers the entire event. He states that someone found him on the floor. His main concern is right posterior shoulder pain. In the ED, initial VS: 16:17 T 97.8 HR 80 BP 143/74 RR 18 pOx 98% Exam was significant for non-focal neurological exam, normal rectal tone, and t-spine tenderness. Imaging showing CT chest and CT abdomen showed no definite acute findings. There was trace right pleural effusion with widespread osseous changes with expansion of medullary spaces and cystic and sclerotic change consistent with fibrous dysplasia. Several vertebral bodies that demonstrate these changes, have wedge compression deformities which are age indeterminate. There are however no retropulsion of fragments or hematoma identified. ___ hospital imaging reports were not available for review in the chart sent to the floor.

The bladder is collapsed around a Foley catheter. There is, however, the appearance of circumferential wall thickening of the bladder. An oblong calcification measuring 9 x 3 mm near the left inferior margin of the bladder (2:103) could represent a bladder stone. The distal ureters are not dilated. The prostate gland is enlarged measuring up to 5.2 cm in diameter. The aorta is tortuous with ectasia of the infrarenal portion; however, no aneurysmal dilation. Calcifications are seen throughout the abdominal aorta extending into the iliac arteries. There is a fat-containing left inguinal hernia. No pelvic free air, free fluid, or lymphadenopathy is identified. At the inferior margin of the imaging volume, note is made of fluid-filled tubular structures along the perineum and extending into the base of the pemis, of unclear etiology (2:18). Bone windows demonstrate Pagetoid changes with thickened expanded cortex, thickened disordered trabeculation of multiple bones including the scapulae, T8, T10, T11, L1, and L4 vertebral bodies. Similar findings are seen in the sacrum, the pelvis, and multiple bilateral ribs. Note is made of compression deformities in the involved vertebral bodies, greatest at the T11 level where the is acute kyphosis. No acute fracture is identified. No retropulsion of fragments is seen. There are multiple remote bilateral rib fractures. IMPRESSION: 1. No definite acute traumatic findings. 2. Pagetoid disease of bone as detailed without acute fracture. Compression deformities in the spine appear chronic. 3. Trace right pleural effusion. Mild cardiomegaly. 4. Partially imaged fluid-filled distended corpora cavernosa of unclear etiology or significance. Clinical correlation and, if indicated, correlation with ultrasound recommended. 5.

Comparison is made to the imaged portion of the right shoulder from a prior CT torso of ___. FINDINGS: The patient was unable to cooperate with standard radiographic positioning due to pain and difficulty understanding instructions from the technologist. With this limitation in mind, no definite acute fracture or dislocation is identified. Degenerative changes are present at the acromioclavicular joint. Note is also made of findings suggestive of Paget's disease including bony expansion and coarsened trabeculation involving portions of the right scapula with a relatively similar appearance demonstrated on recent CT torso of 1 day earlier. This is most marked in the region of the acromion and coracoid processes as well as the glenoid. IMPRESSION: 1. Limited radiograph demonstrating no gross evidence of fracture or dislocation. If symptoms persist, repeat radiographs with standard positioning would be recommended when the patient's condition permits. 2. Findings suggestive of Paget's disease.

Dear Mr. ___, It was our pleasure to care for you at ___. You were admitted from an outside hospital for a fall and new fracture in your C5 vertebrea. We found that you had fallen as a result of not drinking enough fluid to keep your blood pressure high enough to bring blood to your brain (orthostasis). We trated you with IV fluids and holding some medications which will make your blood pressure lower. We also found that you have atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response. We controlled this with a new medication, metoprolol. You should talk with your doctor about starting anticoagulation. We made the following changes to your medications: Please STOP flomax Please STOP KCL Please STOP bumetanide Please DECREASE simvastatin to 40mg daily Please START metoprolol succinate 25mg daily Please START tylenol Please START a lidocaine patch Please START tramadol as needed.

TECHNIQUE: Sagittal imaging was performed with T2, T1, and STIR technique. Axial T2 imaging was performed. COMPARISON: CT whole spine ___. FINDINGS: CERVICAL: The moderate to severe C7 vertebral body compression fracture is unchanged. There is no retropulsion, however disc protrusion remains unchanged causing anterior thecal sac deformity, there is no evidence of lesion or abnormal signal within the spinal cord at this level. C2-C3: Posterior disc bulge and ligamentum flavum thickening causing mild spinal canal narrowing. No neural foraminal stenosis. C3-C4: Posterior disc bulge and ligamentum flavum thickening causing mild spinal canal narrowing. Mild right neural foraminal narrowing. C4-C5: Posterior disc bulge and ligamentum flavum thickening causing moderate spinal canal narrowing. Mild right neural foraminal narrowing. C5-6: Posterior disc bulge and ligamentum with thickening within mild spinal canal narrowing and moderate right neural foraminal narrowing. C6-C7: Posterior disc bulge not causing spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis. C7-T1: Posterior disc bulge indenting the thecal sac, not causing significant spinal canal or neural foraminal narrowing. Alignment is normal. There is mild loss of intervertebral disc height at C5-C6. Vertebral body and intervertebral disc signal intensity otherwise appear normal.The spinal cord appears normal in caliber and configuration. There is a fluid collection posterior to the posterior elements of C4 and C5, in the left side of the neck, measuring 23 mm (SI) x 6.7 mm (AP) x 23 mm (TV).

The common bile duct measures 5 mm. The distal common bile duct is not well visualized, however there is no evidence of distal obstructing stones. 2. Mild splenomegaly measuring up to 15.1 cm, was not well demonstrated on prior exam however this is likely secondary to differences in technique. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT ABD AND PELVIS WITH CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ with recent lap chole p/w abdominal pain and shoulder pain. Evaluate for subphrenic hematoma or other pathology to explain abdominal pain. TECHNIQUE: Single phase split bolus contrast: MDCT axial images were acquired through the abdomen and pelvis following intravenous contrast administration with split bolus technique. Oral contrast was not administered. Coronal and sagittal reformations were performed and reviewed on PACS. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Stationary Acquisition 3.0 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 14.4 mGy (Body) DLP = 7.2 mGy-cm. 2) Spiral Acquisition 7.0 s, 55.1 cm; CTDIvol = 20.2 mGy (Body) DLP = 1,112.2 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Body) = 1,119 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: Abdominal ultrasound from earlier on the same date. FINDINGS: LOWER CHEST: There is trace right pleural effusion with adjacent compressive atelectasis. Mild left basilar atelectasis. No pericardial effusion. ABDOMEN: HEPATOBILIARY: The liver demonstrates homogenous attenuation throughout. There is no evidence of focal lesions. There is mild intrahepatic biliary dilatation in the setting of prior cholecystectomy. Notably, a smaller 6 mm rounded density adjacent to the surgical clips in the gallbladder fossa may represent the remnant cystic duct. There is moderate perihepatic and perisplenic fluid, of simple internal attenuation, tracking down the bilateral paracolic gutters, into the pelvis. PANCREAS: The pancreas has normal attenuation throughout, without evidence of focal lesions or pancreatic ductal dilatation. There is no peripancreatic stranding. SPLEEN: The spleen shows normal size and attenuation throughout, without evidence of focal lesions. ADRENALS: The right and left adrenal glands are normal in size and shape. URINARY: The kidneys are of normal and symmetric size with normal nephrogram. There is no evidence of focal renal lesions or hydronephrosis. There is no perinephric abnormality. GASTROINTESTINAL: The stomach is unremarkable. Small bowel loops demonstrate normal caliber, wall thickness, and enhancement throughout. The colon and rectum are within normal limits. The appendix is normal. PELVIS: The urinary bladder and distal ureters are unremarkable. There is a small to moderate amount of free pelvic fluid. REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS: The uterus is unremarkable. LYMPH NODES: There is no retroperitoneal or mesenteric lymphadenopathy. There is no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. VASCULAR: There is no abdominal aortic aneurysm. No significant atherosclerotic disease is noted. BONES: There is no evidence of worrisome osseous lesions or acute fracture. SOFT TISSUES: The abdominal and pelvic wall is within normal limits. IMPRESSION: 1. Post cholecystectomy, with mild intrahepatic biliary dilatation and a moderate amount of gallbladder fossa, perihepatic, and perisplenic fluid tracking down the bilateral gutters and into the pelvis. In the setting of prior surgery, biliary leak is not excluded on the basis of this CT. 2. Trace right pleural effusion. NOTIFICATION: The above findings were communicated in person by Dr. ___ to Dr. ___ at 15:45 on ___, 2 minutes after discovery. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MRCP INDICATION: ___ year old woman ___ s/p cholecystectomy, with abdominal pain and free fluid on CT, concern for biliary leak. Needs MRCP WITH EOVIST to further evaluate for bile leak.// ___ year old woman ___ s/p cholecystectomy, with abdominal pain and free fluid on CT, concern for biliary leak. Needs MRCP WITH EOVIST to further evaluate for bile leak. TECHNIQUE: T1- and T2-weighted multiplanar images of the abdomen were acquired in a 1.5 T magnet. Intravenous contrast: 8 mL Eovist. Oral contrast: None was administered COMPARISON: ___ abdomen and pelvis CT FINDINGS: Redemonstrated is large volume ascites. The patient is post cholecystectomy. Mild prominence of the intra and extrahepatic bile duct is unchanged compared prior imaging. The common bile duct tapers normally to the ampulla without filling defect to suggest choledocholithiasis. There is a prominent fluid collection at the porta hepatis which extends to the region of the cystic duct stump, also seen on the prior CT. Post Eovist 20 minute delayed images demonstrate appropriate opacification of the intrahepatic bile ducts and left and right hepatic ducts to their confluence/very proximal portion of the common bile duct (series 20, image 30). The remainder of the common bile duct is not opacified. However, there is extraluminal pooling of excreted biliary contrast in the gallbladder fossa where a prominent fluid collection was present previously, consistent with biliary leakage (20:25). Although the exact site of biliary leakage is not identified, it is likely somewhere between confluence of the right and left hepatic ducts and the region of the cystic duct stump. There are no focal liver lesions. The spleen, pancreas, adrenal glands, bilateral kidneys are within normal limits. The stomach and visualized loops of bowel are unremarkable. There are vascular abnormalities. There is no lymphadenopathy. A small right pleural effusion is noted. IMPRESSION: 1. Biliary leakage status post cholecystectomy as evidenced by pooling of biliary excreted contrast within the gallbladder fossa. The exact site of leakage is not identified but likely lies between the confluence of the right and left hepatic ducts and the cystic duct insertion. 2. Large volume ascites in the setting of active biliary leakage, overall similar to most recent prior CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis. NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed with ___, M.D. by ___ ___, M.D. on the telephone on ___ at 7:50 pm, 2 minutes after discovery of the findings. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: US INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURE INDICATION: ___ s/p laparoscopic cholecystectomy ___ with persistent abdominal pain, imaging showing bile leak with biloma: please drain biloma, send for fluid cultures and please leave drain// please drain biloma, send for fluid cultures and please leave drain TECHNIQUE: Limited gray scale ultrasound images were obtained of the liver. COMPARISON: Ultrasound dated ___ FINDINGS: Limited preprocedure evaluation of the gallbladder fossa demonstrated a small residual fluid pocket measuring 6 mm in short axis. This has significantly decreased in size compared to ultrasound from 1 day prior where it measured 2.5 cm in short axis. IMPRESSION: Decrease in size of the fluid collection in the gallbladder fossa. No drainable collection identified on today's examination. If clinically warranted, interval follow-up ultrasound or CT may be considered if clinically warranted to assess for fluid reaccumulation.

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

Preexisting left lower lobe cavity is obscured by this large consolidation. In addition, diffuse ground-glass opacities without septal thickening in both lungs (left side more than right), are also new since ___. Keeping with clinical history, these are highly suggestive of multifocal pulmonary hemorrhage, most pronounced in the left lower lobe. Thin rim of hyperdensity along the posterior pleural space in the left lower lobe is probably due to the dissection of the blood from the consolidation. MEDIASTINUM: Thyroid gland is normal. Endotracheal tube tip lies 3 cm above the carina. There are no pathologically enlarged, mediastinal, supraclavicular or axillary lymph nodes. Heart is normal size, and thin rim of pericardial fluid is likely reactive. Coronary artery calcification is minimal.

IMPRESSION: No evidence of DVT within the lower extremities bilaterally. . ___ TTE Conclusions The left atrium is normal in size. There is mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size and regional/global systolic function (LVEF>55%). Right ventricular chamber size is normal. with normal free wall contractility. The aortic valve leaflets (3) appear structurally normal with good leaflet excursion and no aortic stenosis or aortic regurgitation. The mitral valve leaflets are elongated. There is no mitral valve prolapse. An eccentric, posteriorly directed jet of Moderate (2+) mitral regurgitation is seen. There is a trivial/physiologic pericardial effusion. IMPRESSION: Poor image quality (patient difficult to position and unable to cooperate). Preserved regional and global left ventricular systolic function. Based on limited views, right ventricular cavity size and function are probably normal. Pulmonary pressures were undetermined. Compared with the prior study dated ___ (images reviewed), left ventricular function is more vigorous. Other findings are probably similar although current suboptimal image quality precludes definite comparison.

Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ woman with history of lupus and end-stage renal disease with hemoptysis, and worsening opacities of the left suggestive of left bronchial artery source. Additionally, she had a temporary right IJ line placed which is malpositioned with tip in the axillary vein. PHYSICIAN: Dr. ___, the attending radiologist, was present and performed the procedure. Dr. ___, fellow. PROCEDURE: 1. Fluoroscopic guided repositioning/replacement of non-tunneled right IJ triple-lumen central venous catheter. 2. Fluoroscopic-guided right common femoral artery access. 3. Aortogram and selective left bronchial angiogram. 4. Embolization of left bronchial artery (300-500 micron Embospheres). 5. Post-embolization angiogram. MEDICATIONS: The procedure was performed with general anesthesia. 135 cc Optiray was used. PROCEDURE: Prior to initiation of procedure, written informed consent was obtained and a preprocedure timeout was performed. Patient was brought to the angiographic suite and placed supine on the angiographic table. Patient underwent endotracheal intubation. Following this, the right groin and right neck were prepped and draped in sterile manner. Initially, a fluoroscopic image demonstrated the tip of the central venous catheter was positioned in the axillary vein. A ___ wire was advanced through this catheter which was removed, and a new catheter was placed via the existing right internal jugular vein access such that the tip was in the distal SVC. All three ports were flushed and aspirated and the catheter was secured to the skin with suture and dressed in the requisite manner. Next, under fluoroscopic and manual palpation, right common femoral artery access was obtained using a micropuncture set, followed by placement of a 5 ___ sheath. ___ catheter was formed over ___ wire over the arch, this was used to look for the left brachial artery origin. This was identified in the upper aorta, and contrast injection was performed in multiple projections demonstrating this. Next, attempts to access this with a STC microcatheter and a Headliner and Double-Ended guidewire were made. During these attempts, the microcatheter was advanced over the wire and contrast injection demonstrated some contrast extravasation out of the proximal portion of the left bronchial artery, into the mediastinum. The microcatheter was removed and the ___ was changed for a 5 ___ pigtail catheter. An angiogram was performed in multiple projections, and demonstrating no aortic extravasation or dissection. Next, the ___ was replaced and used to re-select the left bronchial artery origin. Brisk forward flow was seen so particle embolization was performed with 300-500 micron Embospheres to slow flow. Post-embolization contrast injection demonstrated good angiographic result. The ___ catheter was removed over ___ wire, the 5 ___ sheath was removed and manual pressure was applied to hemostasis. The patient tolerated the procedure well, and was returned to the ICU. FINDINGS: 1. Existing right IJ temporary triple-lumen catheter was seen with the tip in the axillary vein. This was successfully repositioned/replaced with the new catheter tip positioned in the distal SVC. 2. Angiography demonstrated dilated tortuous left bronchial artery, supplying the left lung and specifically, the left lower lobe. Some filling of an adjacent pulmonary artery was seen at the end of the angiography suggesting microvascular shunting. 3. No contributor was identified from the left bronchial artery anywhere in its course to an anterior spinal artery. 4. During selective microcatheterization of the left bronchial artery, a small amount of contrast extravasation was noted in the mediastinum from the proximal portion of the artery. Subsequent aortic angiography demonstrated no contrast extravasation from the aorta or evidence of aortic dissection. 5. Following this, 5 ___ ___ was again used to select the ostium of the left bronchial artery. From this location, particle embolization with 300-500 micron Embospheres was performed to good slowing of flow and angiographic result. IMPRESSION: 1. Successful particle embolization in the left bronchial artery, as described above. 2. Successful replacement and repositioning of non-tunneled right internal jugular vein triple lumen catheter, with the tip now in distal SVC. The line is ready to use. Radiology Report CLINICAL HISTORY: ___ woman with hemoptysis. Change in clips and change in pulmonary hemorrhage. COMPARISON: ___. FINDINGS: Left lung has progressed to complete complete opacification consistent with collapse. Trachea is deviated to the left consistent with volume loss. The left bronchus also appears to have secretions within it, likely clot causing this atelectasis. ET tube is approximately 5 cm from the carina. Right IJ terminates likely in the low SVC. The right lung is essentially clear. IMPRESSION: Collpase of the left lung probably from bronchial plugging/clot. Size of the hemorrhage is difficult to evaluate. These findings were discussed with Dr ___ by Dr ___ telephone at 11 AM. Radiology Report HISTORY: For ET tube placement. FINDINGS: In comparison with study of ___, there is little change. Again there is a complete collapse of the left lung presumably from bronchial plugging with mucus impaction or clot. Shift of the mediastinum to the left as well as the trachea is consistent with the volume loss. The right lung is essentially clear.

OPERATORS: Dr. ___ (fellow), Dr. ___ (resident), and Dr. ___, (attending physician). Dr. ___ was present and supervised throughout the procedure. ANESTHESIA: Moderate sedation was provided via divided doses of fentanyl 75 mcg and Versed 1.5 mg administered throughout the total intraservice time of 40 minutes during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored. PROCEDURE AND FINDINGS: After explaining the risks, benefits and alternatives to the patient's designated proxy (husband), informed consent was obtained. The patient was brought to the angiographic suite and placed supine on the table. The right groin was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. A timeout and huddle were performed per ___ protocol. Under ultrasound guidance, the right femoral vein was accessed at the level of the mid femoral head with a 19-gauge micropuncture needle through which a ___ wire was advanced. The needle was removed and a ___ Omniflush catheter was placed and positioned to the contralateral common iliac vein. A venogram was performed from the left common iliac vein demonstrating no evidence of duplication, patent single IVC without evidence of thrombus and IVC diameter of 20 mm. The level of the renal veins was noted at approximately the L2 level, with left renal vein slightly inferior to the right. Based on these diagnostic findings, a retrievable Option IVC filter was placed via the right femoral vein just below the level of the inferior margin of the left renal vein via the 6.5 ___ provided sheath. The sheath was then removed and pressure applied for 5 minutes to achieve hemostasis. A sterile dressing was applied. There were no immediate complications. IMPRESSION: 1. Diagnostic venogram demonstrating single patent IVC. 2. Successful placement of infra-renal potentially retrievable Option IVC filter.

Dear Mr. ___, It was a pleasure taking care of you at the ___ ___! WHY WAS I IN THE HOSPITAL? ========================== - You were admitted because you had many episodes of bloody vomiting WHAT HAPPENED IN THE HOSPITAL? ============================== - We gave you fluid through your IV to replenish the fluid you lost from vomiting and bleeding. This made you feel much better. - We monitored your lab values to check for ongoing bleed. Your labs were stable, so we felt your bleed had improved and was minimal at discharge. - We recommended performing a study called an EGD, where a scope is used to look at your stomach. You did not want an EGD while inpatient. We explained the benefits of this procedure, including: - Identifying a source of bleeding - Identifying ongoing bleed which would require more IV fluids, possible blood transfusions, and/or ablation with the scope to stop the bleeding WHAT SHOULD I DO WHEN I GO HOME? ================================ - Be sure to take all your medications as listed below - Please schedule follow up with your primary care doctor and with the gastroenterologists to have your bloody vomiting evaluated. This is important to make sure you don't have any more episodes of bleeding. - If you have any difficulty breathing, lightheadedness, continued vomiting of blood, please go to the emergency room urgently. We wish you the best! Sincerely, Your ___ Team

Chief Complaint: Shortness of breath Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: None History of Present Illness: The patient is a ___ year old male with a history of asthma presenting with SOB at rest and with exertion. For the past few weeks, he has had some rhinitis, congestion with a productive cough and a mild sore throat. He notes that for the past week he has developed increasing SOB with exertion, and more recently at rest as well. He has also had associated nasal congestion and cough. He denies fevers, chills, nausea, vomiting, abd pain, dysuria, diarrhea. He reports that he has had asthma exacerbations in the past, but has never been hospitalized before. Typically his asthma exacerbations are managed as an outpatient occasionally requiring PO steroids. He also takes Flovent, but only when he has an exacerbation. His only routine asthma medication is albuterol rescue inhaler. He says that when he is feeling at his baseline he usually uses his rescue inhaler ___ per day. He does not have night time awakenings with shortness of breath or cough. He also has seasonal allergies and will take fluticasone nasal spray when needed. In the ED, the patient was noted to be tachycardic with a HR of 113, but was satting 96% on room air. He was noted to be diffusely wheezing in all lung fields, and was given albuterol and ipratropium nebs, as well as IV solumedrol 125mg, and IV magnesium sulfate 2g.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W/ CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ year old man with new right cerebellar lesion. // Pre-operative planning. Pt to OR with Dr. ___ on ___. Please perform in early AM ___. TECHNIQUE: After administration of Gadavist intravenous contrast, axial imaging was performed with MPRAGE and T1 technique. MPRAGE images were re-formatted in sagittal and coronal orientations. COMPARISON: Prior MRI of the brain dated ___. FINDINGS: There has been no significant interval change in solitary enhancing right cerebellar lesion. Effacement of the fourth ventricle appears similar to prior study. The lateral and third ventricles are stable in size and configuration. There is no shift of midline. No new enhancing lesions are identified. There is no extra-axial collection. IMPRESSION: No significant interval change in enhancing right cerebellar lesion. No new enhancing lesions. Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ year old man with preop craniotomy . COMPARISON: None Available. TECHNIQUE Frontal and lateral view of the chest. FINDINGS: The cardiomediastinal silhouette is normal. There is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. There is no focal lung consolidation. Degenerative changes are noted in the mid thoracic spine with anterior osteophytes. IMPRESSION: No acute cardiopulmonary process. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W AND W/O CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ year old man with R tentorial lesion s/p resection // evaluate for post-operative change TECHNIQUE: MRI of the head without and with IV contrast COMPARISON: MRA of the head ___ FINDINGS: Status post resection of the previously noted right tentorial dural-based mass lesion. Postsurgical changes are noted adjacent with small amount of gas and fluid and blood products. Small foci of negative susceptibility are noted in the in the right cerebellar hemisphere, related to blood products. Increased DWI signal intensity medially in the right cerebellar hemisphere, can relate to blood products or ischemic/infarction changes. Limited assessment on diffusion sequences for ischemic changes due to the confounding effects of blood products. There is surrounding edema and mass effect on the right side of the fourth ventricle, similar to the prior CT study. Linear, slightly irregular enhancement in the right cerebellar hemisphere and tentorium, can relate to postoperative changes. No obvious nodular component of enhancement to suggest obvious residual tumor. Assessment can be limited due to the postoperative changes. Postsurgical changes are noted in the overlying soft tissues of the right occipital and upper cervical regions. Increased signal intensity in the left more than right parietal and temporal subcutaneous soft tissues of the scalp with swelling with a focal area of heterogeneous enhancement, can be correlated clinically. (se 11, im 14; se 13, im 16). This can relate to edema or inflammation with focal contusion/hematoma. The lateral and third ventricles and the extra-axial CSF spaces in the cerebral sulci are unremarkable, without significant change compared to the preoperative study. A few small FLAIR hyperintense foci are noted in the cerebral white matter, nonspecific in appearance. No abnormal enhancement is noted in these foci. The major intracranial arterial flow voids are noted on the T2 sequence, left vertebral artery is diminutive. The venous sinuses are unremarkable on the routine study. Near total empty sella. Tiny cystis focus in the pineal gland. The craniocervical junction region is otherwise unremarkable. Mild ethmoidal mucosal thickening. Small amount of fluid in the mastoid air cells on both sides. Sphenoid sinus major septation inserts on the left carotid groove. IMPRESSION: 1. Postsurgical changes, with interval resection of the previously noted right tentorial dural-based lesion. Foci of negative susceptibility in the right cerebellar hemisphere can relate to blood products. Surrounding edema and mass effect on the fourth ventricle, as before. Foci of increased DWI signal intensity in the medial aspect of the right cerebellar hemisphere can relate to blood products or ischemic/infarction related changes. Limited assessment on diffusion sequences for ischemic changes due to the confounding effects of blood products. Attention on close followup 2. Linear, slightly irregular enhancement in the right cerebellar hemisphere and tentorium, can relate to postoperative changes. No obvious nodular component of enhancement to suggest obvious residual tumor. Assessment can be limited due to the postoperative changes. 3. Postsurgical changes are noted in the overlying soft tissues of the right occipital and upper cervical regions. Increased signal intensity in the left more than right parietal and temporal subcutaneous soft tissues of the scalp with swelling with a focal area of heterogeneous enhancement, can be correlated clinically. (se 11, im 14; se 13, im 16). This can relate to edema or inflammation with focal contusion/hematoma. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST INDICATION: Right tentorial lesion resection. Evaluate for interval change. TECHNIQUE: Routine unenhanced head CT was performed and viewed in brain, intermediate and bone windows. DOSE: DLP: 897.12 mGy-cm CTDI: 55.04 mGy COMPARISON: MRI ___, outside hospital MR head ___. FINDINGS: Status post right suboccipital craniotomy with resection of previously noted right tentorial mass. Expected trace fluid and small pneumocephalus, within expected limits.

Dear Mr. ___, You came to the hospital because you were not feeling well. You had a chest x-ray that may have showed pneumonia, though this was hard to tell because of your plaques. You finished a course of treatment for pneumonia with antibiotics and started to feel a lot better. You also got treatment for COPD exacerbation with steroids, which really helped you. When you go home, please work with a physical therapist. Please talk to your cardiologist and primary care doctor about the pain and fatigue in your legs because this may require further testing and treatment. Your lasix (water pill) amount was decreased. Please weigh yourself every morning, call MD if weight goes up more than 3 lbs in one day or 5 lbs in one week. It was a pleasure caring for you and we wish you the best! Your ___ Care Team

Five non-rib-bearing vertebral bodies are identified. No fracture is present and vertebral body heights are preserved. Multilevel lumbar spine degenerative changes are present, most severe at L4-5 and L5-S1, with moderate-to-severe facet arthrosis. No alignment abnormality. No focal lytic or sclerotic lesion. Chain sutures are present in the right lower quadrant. IMPRESSION: Multilevel degenerative change, worst in lower lumbar spine. ___ MRI Lumbar Spine: IMPRESSION: Underlying dextroscoliosis with associated alignment abnormalities, as well as congenitally abnormal spinal canal geometry and prominent epidural lipomatosis, result in: 1. L4-L5: Most severe spinal canal and left more than right subarticular zone stenosis with traversing L5 neural impingement; bilateral neural foraminal stenosis with exiting L4 neural impingement. 2. L3-L4: Multifactorial moderate canal stenosis with central crowding of the traversing nerve roots; right more than left neural foraminal stenosis with possible impingement upon the exiting right L3 nerve root. 3. L5-S1: Grade 1 anterolisthesis, likely spondylolytic, with bilateral neural foraminal narrowing and possible exiting L5 neural impingement, left more than right. 4. T11-T12: Disc degeneration with right paracentral/proximal foraminal protrusion which may impinge upon the exiting right T11 nerve root, incompletely imaged. COMMENT: Given the numerous findings, close correlation should be made with the nature, level and side of the patient's symptoms.

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ male with lower back pain and radiculopathy. Evaluate for compression fracture. COMPARISONS: None. FINDINGS: Frontal and lateral views of the lumbar spine were obtained. Five non-rib-bearing vertebral bodies are identified. No fracture is present and vertebral body heights are preserved. Multilevel lumbar spine degenerative changes are present, most severe at L4-5 and L5-S1, with moderate-to-severe facet arthrosis. No alignment abnormality. No focal lytic or sclerotic lesion. Chain sutures are present in the right lower quadrant. IMPRESSION: Multilevel degenerative change, worst in lower lumbar spine. Radiology Report MR EXAMINATION OF LUMBAR SPINE WITHOUT CONTRAST, ___ HISTORY: ___ male with severe left back pain and radicular symptoms "down the left leg," and "MRI (six months ago) with herniated discs and stenosis, of unknown degree"; now with acute worsening (symptoms). TECHNIQUE: Routine ___ non-enhanced MR examination with supplemental sagittal STIR FSE sequence. FINDINGS: The reported OSH MR examination has not been obtained and uploaded to ___ for comparison. The sagittal STIR sequence is essentially unremarkable, with no finding to suggest acute vertebral compression injury. Other than a small right parapelvic cyst, the included paraspinal soft tissues are grossly unremarkable. Note that there is no significant fatty atrophy of the paraspinal musculature. The distal spinal cord is normal in caliber and intrinsic signal intensity, as is the conus medullaris, which is normal in morphology and terminates at the mid-S1 level. As on the recent radiographs of ___, there is a slight lumbar dextroscoliosis with associated minimal retrolisthesis of L3 on L4 and L4 on L5. The lumbar vertebrae are normal in height and demonstrate somewhat heterogeneous T1- and T2-hypointensity. There is multilevel degenerative disc, endplate and facet joint disease, as follows: There is degeneration of the T11-T12 disc, with a small right paracentral/proximal foraminal protrusion which may impinge upon the exiting right T11 nerve root; this is incompletely imaged, only in the sagittal plane. The T12-L1 and L1-L2 discs are preserved in height and signal intensity with normal intranuclear clefts and no significant bulge or focal herniation. The L2-L3 disc is also preserved in height and signal intensity with mild bulging, but no significant canal or foraminal compromise. There is more marked degeneration of the L3-L4 disc with vacuum phenomenon and mild-moderate bulging, eccentric to the right. There is a superimposed anular tear with accompanying protrusion. In combination with facet arthropathy and prominent dorsal epidural fat, and superimposed on congenitally short pedicles, this results in relative central crowding of the traversing nerve roots with loss of the normal CSF-signal within the thecal sac (2:11, 5:12). There is also caudal narrowing of the neural foramina, right more than left, with likely impingement upon the exiting right L3 nerve root. There is marked degeneration of the L4-L5 disc with ___ type 2 change in the adjacent vertebral endplates. There is moderately severe bulging with a superimposed broad-based central/left paracentral disc protrusion measuring roughly 11 mm (AP). In combination with the above factors, as well as congenitally narrow intralaminal angle, this again results in relatively severe canal stenosis and impingement upon the traversing L5 nerve roots in the subarticular zones. There is also severe bilateral neural foraminal narrowing with likely impingement upon the exiting L4 nerve roots. There is grade 1 anterolisthesis of L5 on S1, which appears related to bilateral spondylolysis, with expected relative widening of the AP dimension of the spinal canal. However, the redundant anulus and "rolled disc," in addition to L5 inferior endplate spondylosis, produces expected narrowing of both neural foramina with possible impingement upon the exiting L5 nerve roots, left more than right. There is also contact with the traversing S1 nerve roots in the subarticular zones. IMPRESSION: Underlying dextroscoliosis with associated alignment abnormalities, as well as congenitally abnormal spinal canal geometry and prominent epidural lipomatosis, result in: 1. L4-L5: Most severe spinal canal and left more than right subarticular zone stenosis with traversing L5 neural impingement; bilateral neural foraminal stenosis with exiting L4 neural impingement. 2. L3-L4: Multifactorial moderate canal stenosis with central crowding of the traversing nerve roots; right more than left neural foraminal stenosis with possible impingement upon the exiting right L3 nerve root. 3. L5-S1: Grade 1 anterolisthesis, likely spondylolytic, with bilateral neural foraminal narrowing and possible exiting L5 neural impingement, left more than right. 4. T11-T12: Disc degeneration with right paracentral/proximal foraminal protrusion which may impinge upon the exiting right T11 nerve root, incompletely imaged. COMMENT: Given the numerous findings, close correlation should be made with the nature, level and side of the patient's symptoms.

Name: ___ Unit No: ___ Admission Date: ___ Discharge Date: ___ Date of Birth: ___ Sex: M Service: NEUROLOGY Allergies: amino acids Attending: ___. Chief Complaint: admission for expedited stroke workup Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: None History of Present Illness: Mr. ___ is a ___ right-handed man with past medical history significant for Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosed in ___ with recurrences later that year in ___ and ___. He is status post full body radiation in ___ and a bone marrow transplant in ___ followed by another round of radiation. He then developed squamous cell carcinoma of the left mandible requiring modified radical neck dissection with resection of the left posterior mandible followed by a third radiation treatment. He presented to neurology clinic last week after CT earlier this year showed evidence of a frontal stroke. Earlier today, Mr ___ called the clinic to report several concerning episodes over the weekend. On ___, around noon he had 30- 60min of right hand numbness. He has had this sensation before (maybe ~6x in his life). Occasionally, it has been associated with weakness where he is unable to keep the hand lifted up. This time, it was associated with numbness of all the fingers as well as the palm but no weakness. He also reports a frontal headache around this time that he treated with Tylenol. At 3pm, he developed dysarthric speech. He knew what he wanted to say but the words coming out did not sound like the words he was trying to say. His wife was unable to understand what he was trying to say until he repeated it several times. This completely resolved within an hour. It was not associated with any other weakness, numbness, visual problems, or vertigo. Yesterday, he had a additional episode of right hand numbness (no weakness) lasting ___ minutes. He reports that he is currently back to his baseline. He denies any recent illnesses, infections, intoxications that could explain his symptoms. He had a full stoke workup ordered as an outpatient (scheduled to get MRI/MRA head and neck, carotid ultrasounds next ___, a week from today) but because of these recent episodes, he was instructed to come to the ED for admission and expedited workup. The patient had a long and complicated medical history since his diagnosis of Hodgkin's when he was ___ most significant for bone marrow transplant and whole body radiation x 3. mmediately after the bone marrow transplant, secondary to immunosuppression medications, he developed chronic kidney disease. This progressed into fulminant renal failure earlier this year (the exact cause unknown) requiring the placement of a peritoneal dialysis catheter in ___. During the time of his kidney failure, he developed severe generalized sharp headaches focused behind his eyes that would last approximately four hours a day but were relatively well treated with Tylenol and Percocet. Those headaches have since resolved as his metabolic and electrolyte disturbances have normalized with the use of the PD catheter. Earlier this year, in order to workup the severe headaches, he underwent a CT scan which showed a hypodensity in the left frontal region. On further questioning, he remembers having a facial droop in ___ that lasted about a month. In addition, he and his wife describe an episode of an abnormal heart rhythm during his hospitalization in ___ as SVT) which was associated with negative CE and unchanged EKG. During that hospitalization, he had CT Head which did not show the lesion leading us to believe that it occurred some time in the last ___ years although we are unable to determine a more exact date. He comes to clinic today for recommendations for further workup of this finding as well as secondary prevention recommendations. Review of Systems: Positive for headaches earlier this year which have almost entirely resolved, generalized numbness and weakness which has since resolved; chronic muscle cramps; easy fatigability; vertigo/nausea with any abrupt changes in his PD catheter which has since resolved; chronic speaking and swallowing difficulties related to his radical neck dissection; chronic insomnia; difficulty with maintaining his weight since his initial diagnosis. He denies loss of vision, blurred vision, diplopia, hearing difficulty. He reports difficulty of gait secondary to his gout. On general review of systems, he denies recent fever or chills. No night sweats. Denies cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, tightness, palpitations. Had intermittent nausea and vomiting with his headaches and when his PD catheter malfunctions, but otherwise this seems to have resolved. Chronic myalgias since his bone marrow transplant.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report INDICATION: ___ year old man with history of Hodgkins lymphoma diagnosed in ___ with recurrence in ___, status post fall body radiation in ___ and bone marrow transplant with additional radiation in ___. Also history of squamous cell carcinoma of the left mandible status post modified radical neck dissection in ___ and radiation. Now the patient demonstrates a left frontal hypodensity on head CT and TIA-like events, including slurred speech and right arm numbness which brought the patient to the emergency department on ___. Please evaluate for vessel stenosis or cutoff. Please evaluate for infarct. TECHNIQUE: Sagittal T1 weighted, and axial T2 weighted, FLAIR, gradient echo, and diffusion-weighted images of the brain were obtained. 3D time-of-flight MRA of the brain was obtained with multiplanar maximum intensity projection angiographic reformatted images. 2D time-of-flight MRA of the neck was obtained with multiplanar maximal intensity projection angiographic reformatted images. This report is based on interpretation of all of the above images. COMPARISON: Noncontrast head CT ___. FINDINGS: BRAIN MRI: There is a small cortical focus of slow diffusion in the inferior left parietal lobe extending to the parieto-occipital sulcus, images 13 and 14 of series 404 and 402. There is corresponding high signal on FLAIR images. There is no evidence for associated blood products on gradient echo images. In the centrum semiovale of bilateral posterior frontal lobes, there are linear foci of mildly high signal on the diffusion tracer sequence, more conspicuous on the right than left, without corresponding signal abnormality on the ADC map. FLAIR and T2 weighted images demonstrate confluent high signal in the centrum semiovale, corona radiata, other deep white matter, and periventricular white matter of the cerebral hemispheres, nonspecific but compatible with sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease, prior medication toxicity or prior brain radiation. In the setting, the mild signal abnormalities in the centrum semiovale on the diffusion tracer sequence are most likely related to T2 shine through, and less likely subacute infarcts. In the left middle frontal gyrus bordering the superior frontal gyrus, there is a small area of encephalomalacia with adjacent gliosis, which demonstrates extensive low signal on gradient echo images. There are several adjacent prominent superficial veins with preserved flow voids. Diagnostic considerations include prior hemorrhage which may be secondary to amyloid angiopathy or an underlying vascular malformation. No clear evidence for an underlying cavernous malformation is seen. Prior ischemic infarction with hemorrhagic transformation is less likely. There is mild parenchymal volume loss with associated prominence of the ventricles and sulci. There is mild partial bilateral mastoid air cell opacification. There is evidence of left lens replacement. NECK MRA: The aortic arch is not included on the 2D time-of-flight images. 2D time-of-flight technique limits evaluation of minimal stenoses due to stepping artifact. There are filling defects at the origins of bilateral internal carotid arteries, left greater than right, without evidence for flow-limiting stenosis by NASCET criteria. Visualized portions of bilateral vertebral arteries appear patent. Left vertebral artery is dominant. BRAIN MRA: There is ___ termination of the non dominant right vertebral artery without evidence for flow-limiting stenosis. Left vertebral artery, basilar artery, internal carotid arteries, and their major branches appear patent without evidence for flow-limiting stenosis. Cavernous right internal carotid artery demonstrates fusiform dilatation measuring 7 mm. There is no evidence for a saccular aneurysm. The area of prior hematoma in the superior left frontal lobe is not included in the field of view of the MRA. IMPRESSION: 1. Small cortical acute to early subacute infarction in the inferior left parietal lobe extending to the parieto-occipital sulcus. 2. Confluent elevated T2 signal in the deep and periventricular white matter of the cerebral hemispheres is compatible with sequela of chronic small vessel ischemic disease, prior medication toxicity, or prior brain radiation. 3. Linear foci of mildly high signal on the diffusion tracer sequence in the posterior frontal centrum semiovale, more conspicuous on the right than left, without associated signal abnormality on the ADC map, most likely represent T2 shine through, and less likely subacute infarcts. 4. Small area of encephalomalacia and gliosis in the superior left frontal lobe at the site of a prior hematoma, with several prominent adjacent superficial veins. Diagnostic considerations include prior hemorrhage which may be secondary to amyloid angiopathy or an underlying vascular malformation. No clear evidence for an underlying cavernous malformation is seen. This area is not included in the field of view of the MRA. 5. Left greater than right internal carotid artery origin atherosclerosis without evidence for flow-limiting stenosis by NASCET criteria. 6. No evidence for occlusion or flow-limiting stenosis of the major intracranial arteries. 7. 7 mm fusiform dilatation of the cavernous right internal carotid artery.

Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CTA HEAD AND CTA NECK PQ147 CT HEADNECK INDICATION: ___ year old male status post radiation with episodes of hand numbness concerning stroke. Evaluate for infarct. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous MDCT axial images were obtained through the brain without contrast material. Subsequently, helically acquired rapid axial imaging was performed from the aortic arch through the brain during the infusion of 70 mL of Omnipaque350 intravenous contrast material. Three-dimensional angiographic volume rendered, curved reformatted and segmented images were generated on a dedicated workstation. This report is based on interpretation of all of these images. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) CT Localizer Radiograph 2) CT Localizer Radiograph 3) Sequenced Acquisition 6.4 s, 16.0 cm; CTDIvol = 56.1 mGy (Head) DLP = 897.1 mGy-cm. 4) Stationary Acquisition 5.5 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 59.9 mGy (Head) DLP = 30.0 mGy-cm. 5) Spiral Acquisition 5.2 s, 41.2 cm; CTDIvol = 32.1 mGy (Head) DLP = 1,321.7 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Head) = 2,249 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: CT head from ___ and CT chest from ___. FINDINGS: CT HEAD WITHOUT CONTRAST: No intra or extra-axial hemorrhage, mass effect, or shift of normally midline structures. Small the moderate chronic infarct in the left frontal lobe. Small focus of low attenuation beneath the left basal ganglia likely represents a prominent perivascular space versus chronic lacunar infarct. Mild low attenuation in the periventricular white matter is nonspecific, but likely relates to chronic microangiopathic ischemia. No CT evidence for acute, major vascular territorial infarction. Mild prominence of the ventricles, sulci, and cisterns appears proportional. Left lens replacement. Dental implants with partial erosion of the mandibular condyles. \ CTA HEAD: Fusiform aneurysm arise involving the right ICA cavernous segment, measuring up to 8 mm, compared with 5 mm in the proximal petrous segment. Mild fusiform dilatation of the left ICA cavernous segment measuring up to 6 mm, compared with 5 mm more proximally. Otherwise, bilateral intracranial internal carotid arteries, middle cerebral arteries, and anterior cerebral arteries enhance normally. The anterior communicating artery is patent. Small right posterior communicating artery. Left posterior communicating artery is either absent or hypoplastic. Left vertebral artery is dominant. Right vertebral artery largely terminates as the right posterior inferior cerebellar artery. Basilar artery, visualized cerebellar arteries, and posterior cerebral arteries enhance normally. CTA NECK: Mild to moderate calcified atherosclerotic plaque surrounds the right carotid bifurcation. The right common, internal, and external carotid arteries otherwise enhance normally. Moderate calcified atherosclerotic plaque surrounds the left carotid bifurcation. Mild narrowing of the left ICA origin. The left common, internal, and external carotid arteries otherwise enhance normally. The vertebral arteries enhance normally. The left vertebral artery is dominant. 3 vessel arch configuration.

Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAMINATION: SHOULDER ___ VIEWS NON TRAUMA LEFT INDICATION: ___ year old woman with significant left shoulder pain// ?fraction TECHNIQUE: Three views of the left shoulder COMPARISON: No priors for comparison FINDINGS: The bones are demineralized. There is no acute displaced fracture or dislocation involving the glenohumeral or AC joint. Moderate degenerative changes are noted within the glenohumeral joint. There is moderate joint space narrowing of the glenohumeral joint. Mild AC joint degenerative changes. No suspicious lytic or sclerotic lesions are identified. No periarticular calcification or radio-opaque foreign body is seen. Thoracic posterior fusion hardware is partially visualized. IMPRESSION: Moderate left glenohumeral joint degenerative changes and joint space narrowing. Mild AC joint degenerative changes. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: US EXTREMITY LIMITED SOFT TISSUE LEFT INDICATION: ___ year old woman with spinal abscess, now with severe shoulder pain// evaluate for effusion TECHNIQUE: Grayscale ultrasound images were obtained of the superficial tissues of the left shoulder. COMPARISON: None FINDINGS: Transverse and sagittal images were obtained of the superficial tissues of the left shoulder. There is no evidence of fluid collection or joint effusion. IMPRESSION: No evidence of fluid collection within the left shoulder. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: SECOND OPINION MR NEURO PSO4 MR INDICATION: ___ year old woman ___ year old female with PMH of MRSA infections (notably left knee PJI, T6-T7 discitis requiring T4-T9 fusion in ___, also hx of L3-L5 fusion laminectomy in ___, IDDM, HTN, CKD, hypothyroidism who is coming in for evaluation and treatment of suspected spinal abscess.// second opinion on back abscess second opinion on back abscess TECHNIQUE: Second opinion read on MRI ___ with and without contrast performed at outside institution. COMPARISON: MR ___ dated ___. FINDINGS: Study is degraded by motion and spinal fusion hardware artifact. For the purposes of numbering, the lowest rib bearing vertebral body was designated the T12 level. There is minimal anterolisthesis of L4 on L5, unchanged, as well as levoscoliosis of the lumbar spine. The patient is status post L3-5 laminectomy and posterior transpedicular fusion, with disc spacers noted at L3-4 and L4-5. T1 and T2 hypointensity along the inferior endplate of L2 and the superior endplate of L3 is also similar to prior, suggestive of degenerative sclerosis. Question STIR hyperintensity of the vertebral bodies of L2 and L3 versus hardware artifact. The visualized portion of the spinal cord is grossly preserved in signal and caliber, with the conus medullaris terminating at L1-2. There is loss of intervertebral disc space and loss of disc signal intensity at T12-L1 and L5-S1. STIR hyperintensity within the L2-3 and L3-4 disc spaces is similar to slightly decreased from most recent prior. Within the right lateral recess at L2, there is a 5 mm T2 hyperintense, rim enhancing focus (08:13, 2:9, 9:7) with questioned extension from the L2-3 intervertebral disc. Posterior disc bulge at L2-3 and uncovertebral hypertrophy contribute to moderate spinal canal narrowing and moderate right and mild left neural foraminal narrowing. Multilevel facet joint hypertrophy is noted throughout the lumbar spine. There is no definite vertebral canal narrowing or neural foraminal narrowing at T12-L1 or L1-L2. Evaluation of the neural foramen at L3-4, L4-5 and L5-S1 is limited due to hardware artifact. OTHER: Nonspecific L3 through sacrum paraspinal soft tissue probable edema is again seen, minimally decreased from prior exam. Nonspecific probable dependent edema is noted in the dorsal lumbar soft tissues. The partially imaged abdomen is notable for a right renal lesion which is at least partially cystic, though incompletely imaged, measuring at least 1.0 cm. IMPRESSION: 1. Study is degraded by motion and spinal fusion hardware artifact. 2. Postsurgical changes from L3-5 laminectomy and posterior fusion. 3. Approximately 5 mm T2 hyperintense, rim enhancing lesion in the right lateral recess at L2. While findings suggestive of suggestive of a discal cyst, differential considerations of infectious or inflammatory etiologies are not excluded on the basis examination. Recommend follow-up imaging to resolution. 4. Nonspecific paraspinal soft tissue edema centered at L4-5 persists, though is decreased from prior. 5. Multilevel lumbar spondylosis as described, most pronounced at L2-3, where there is moderate vertebral canal, mild left and moderate right neural foraminal narrowing. 6. Limited imaging of the kidneys demonstrate right at least partially cystic structures, incompletely characterized. RECOMMENDATION(S): Approximately 5 mm T2 hyperintense, rim enhancing lesion in the right lateral recess at L2.

Dear Mr. ___, It was our pleasure participating in your care here at ___. You were admitted on ___ with back pain and found to have damage to your heart based on your lab work, despite not having any chest pain. You underwent testing called a stress test that showed you would not likely benefit from another cardiac catheterization. You also had imaging of your chest and abdomen. This imaging showed you had nodules in your lungs and kidney as well as a mass in your chest that may be a cancer. You will have follow-up with thoracic surgery and may need to have a biopsy. You will also likely need to have further imaging as an outpatient. Your main concern was back pain. You had a special study called a bone scan that showed you had a fracture in one of your vertebrae. If you have worsening back pain, you may benefit from wearing a special brace when you walk. If you have chest pain, worsening back pain, shortness of breath, or any other concerning symptoms, please let your doctor know right away. Again, it was our pleasure participating in your care. We wish you the very best, -- Your ___ Medicine Team --

Intravenous contrast: Gadavist. Oral contrast: 1 cc of Gadavist mixed with 50 cc of water was administered for oral contrast. COMPARISON: Prior CT abdomen done ___ FINDINGS: Lower Thorax: Trace left-sided pleural effusion. No pericardial effusion. No confluent airspace consolidation. Bilateral breast prostheses in situ. Liver: Severe hepatic steatosis with a fat fraction of 25%. No focal suspicious hepatic lesions. No intrahepatic bile duct dilatation. Biliary: The CBD is mildly dilated measuring 9 mm diameter. It tapers smoothly towards the ampulla. No gallstones. No CBD stones. Pancreas: Decreased T1 signal intensity of the body and tail of the pancreas in keeping with acute edematous pancreatitis. No nonenhancing areas seen to suggest pancreatic parenchymal necrosis. Again noted are complex rim enhancing, multiloculated fluid collection which encases the pancreatic tail, contacts the splenic flexure of the colon anterolaterally, extends inferiorly along the anterior pararenal fascia and lateral conal fascia. It also extends medially along the anterior body of the pancreas tracking along the transverse mesocolon. The collection is also seen superior to the tail of the pancreas extending medial to the spleen tracking inferiorly via the posterior pararenal space. Spleen: No focal splenic lesions. Small accessory spleen. Adrenal Glands: The adrenals appear normal. Kidneys: The kidneys appear normal. No hydronephrosis. Gastrointestinal Tract: Post surgical anatomy after gastric bypass. Edematous appearance of the splenic flexure is most likely secondary to adjacent inflammation from the pancreas. The patient is status post Roux-en-Y gastric bypass without evidence of obstruction. Lymph Nodes: A couple of small reactive mesenteric lymph nodes. Vasculature: The major peripancreatic vessels are patent. Osseous and Soft Tissue Structures: No suspicious bony lesions. Small foci of susceptibility in the anterior abdomen is non specific, likely from prior surgery. IMPRESSION: 1. Findings in keeping with acute pancreatitis involving the body and tail of the pancreas. No pancreas non enhancement to suggest pancreatic necrosis. 2. Extensive peripancreatic fluid collections as described above. Appearing well circumscribed, they may represent acute necrotizing collections vs walled-off necrosis, the former more likely given the reported ___ weeks of symptoms. 3.

DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Spiral Acquisition 6.0 s, 26.1 cm; CTDIvol = 30.6 mGy (Body) DLP = 777.2 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Body) = 777 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: Chest CT from ___. Right shoulder radiograph from ___. FINDINGS: There is fluid seen extending into the subscapularis recess and subscapularis muscle measuring 3.9 x 4.9 cm. This is likely contiguous with the glenohumeral joints with fluid tracking into the subscapularis recess of the joint space. Peripheral enhancement is noted. There is additional rim enhancing fluid seen within the subacromial subdeltoid bursa. This is also likely contiguous with the glenohumeral joint the a probable full-thickness rotator cuff tear of the supraspinatus tendon (09:38). This not be could be better evaluated with an MRI of the shoulder. There are tiny locules of air seen within the subacromial subdeltoid bursa (03:21) and in the subcoracoid recess (03:38) presumed to be related to prior intervention/aspiration. There are moderate severe degenerative changes at the glenohumeral joint. No osteolysis or periostitis to suggest osteomyelitis. There is nonvisualization of the distal portion of the long head of the biceps tendon in the intertubercular groove, suspicious for a tear. There is fluid seen close to the myotendinous junction of the long head of biceps (4:61) measuring 3.3 x 1.4 x 2.3 cm, likely tracking from the glenohumeral joint space. Moderate degenerative changes at the acromioclavicular joint with fragmented osteophytes seen along superior joint margin. There is no acute fracture or dislocation. There is moderate fatty atrophy of the supraspinatus muscle. There is scattered replacement of the fatty marrow in the humerus with soft tissue density material, this is nonspecific in appearance on CT imaging and could reflect red marrow or a neoplastic process. This could be better evaluated with MRI. Multiple foci of sclerosis are noted, including involving the distal clavicle, T2 vertebral body, T4, T6 and T7 suspicious for metastatic lesions. An area sclerosis is also seen in the right fifth rib (9:71) as well as the right third rib (9:95). Fusion hardware is seen in the low cervical spine. In the visualized portions of the right lung there are multiple small nodules seen. A right middle lobe nodule measures 6 mm (6:99), unchanged compared to the prior study. A cluster of 3 small nodules each measuring 4 mm (6:96) and a perifissural nodule measuring 4 mm (6:91) are noted. Allowing for differences in imaging technique these are likely unchanged when compared to the prior study but continued attention on follow-up CT chest is recommended. There is a new enlarged right paratracheal node measuring 1.4 cm in short axis (6:81). IMPRESSION: 1. Fluid collection with peripheral hyper enhancement in the right subscapularis muscle is likely tracking from the joint space into the subscapularis recess consistent with a moderately large effusion. Similar appearing fluid in the subacromial subdeltoid bursa is likely tracking volar via a full-thickness rotator cuff tear however this would be better evaluated with an MRI of the shoulder. Tiny locules of air within the fluid collection are presumed related to prior intervention. 2. Moderate degenerative changes at the right glenohumeral joint. 3. Multiple sclerotic foci involving the right distal clavicle, several vertebral bodies, and second right rib. Appearances are highly concerning for metastatic disease, given the patient's history of prostate cancer, recommend further evaluation with bone scan if it will alter clinical management.. 4. Replacement of the normal fatty marrow in the right humerus is nonspecific in appearance on CT imaging and could reflect red marrow reconversion, particularly in a patient receiving chemotherapy. This could also be better evaluated with a shoulder MRI. 5. Nonvisualization of the proximal portion of the long head of the biceps tendon and fluid within at the level of the myotendinous junction suspicious for a tear. 6. New enlarged right paratracheal lymph node, recommend dedicated chest imaging to better evaluate. 7. Multiple small pulmonary nodules, likely unchanged when compared to the prior study allowing for slight differences in imaging technique. Continued attention on followup recommended. RECOMMENDATION(S): 1. Evaluation of the fluid around the right shoulder region could be better performed with an MRI of the right shoulder, including assessment of any full-thickness rotator cuff tear and the biceps tendon. NOTIFICATION: Findings and recommendations discussed with Dr. ___ by telephone at 18:20 on ___ by Dr. ___, approximately 6 hours after discovery of the findings Radiology Report EXAMINATION: INJ/ASP MAJOR JT W/FLUORO INDICATION: ___ PMH of AFib, OA, metastatic Prostate cancer (c/bbone mets) who admitted for w/u of acute R. shoulder pain + lightheadedness with T101.1F on ___, no longer febrile, not on Abx.// Seen by Ortho, recommendation for ___ R. shoulder joint tap with Gram stain, Cx, crystals, cell count to R/O septic joint.

COMPARISON: Right shoulder CT with contrast ___ PROCEDURE: The risks, benefits, and alternatives were explained to the patient and written informed consent obtained. A pre-procedure timeout confirmed three patient identifiers. Under fluoroscopic guidance, an appropriate spot was marked. The area was prepared and draped in standard sterile fashion. 5 cc of 1% Lidocaine was used to achieve local anesthesia. Under intermittent fluoroscopic guidance, a 18-gauge spinal needle was advanced into the right glenohumeral joint. No fluid could be aspirated with initial aspiration attempt. The needle was repositioned 3 times without aspiration of fluid. Appropriate position within the joint space was confirmed by injection of intra-articular contrast. Contrast was seen to track into the subscapularis recess. Attempted aspiration at this point still did not yield any fluid therefore 10 cc of normal saline was injected into the joint and 15 cc of opaque yellow fluid was the re-aspirated. Samples were sent for culture and sensitivity, cell count and crystal analysis as requested. The needle was removed, hemostasis achieved, and a sterile bandage applied. The patient tolerated the procedure well and left the department in good condition. There were no immediate complications or complaints. FINDINGS: Degenerative changes are noted in the acromioclavicular joint and glenohumeral joint. Injection of iodinated contrast opacified the joint space with tracking into the subscapularis recess, presumed to correspond to the fluid collection seen on the prior CT. IMPRESSION: 1. Imaging Findings- as above. 2. Procedure - Technically successful reaspiration of right glenohumeral joint.

She was recently discharged from rehab and in her usual state of health until approximately ___ days prior to admission when she started having difficulty standing and using her walker due to unsteadiness and weakness in her legs. She fell off the commode a week ago but denies head strike or LOC. She states that she just sat back down whenever she experienced the unsteadiness and that she did not experience any other falls. She has not experienced any lightheadedness or palpations when standing up. She denies any headache, chest pain, SOB, N&V, abdominal pain, worsening of her back pain, urinary retention, bladder/bowel incontinence, saddle anesthesia, or other complaints. No dysuria, urgency, or frequency. No blood in urine or stool. No f/c. No recent weight loss. She lives at home with her daughter and uses a walker at baseline. Her daughter is assisting her with her medications. She states that she would be open to going to a rehab facility, but that she would want to go back home after. In the ED, initial vitals: T 97.9 HR 67 BP 114/51 RR 18 O2 sat 99% RA General - thin, no acute distress HEENT - head NC/AT, bilateral cataracts Cardiovascular - RRR, 2+ DP pulses bilaterally Respiratory - CTA bilaterally, no wheezing GI - abdomen soft, nontender, no rebound or guarding Neuro - bilateral grip strength ___, bilateral UE strength ___, bilateral ___ strength ___, sensation intact, down-going Babinski Musculoskeletal - no spinal midline tenderness, mild left lumbosacral paraspinal tenderness Skin - warm and dry Labs notable for normal CBC, chemistry, negative troponin, negative serum and utox, and UA with 14 WBC and small leuks. CXR showed no acute cardiopulmonary abnormality, and CT head showed no acute process. CT T and L spine showed no acute fracture or malalignment with chronic L1 compression fracture. Neurology was consulted, and felt that the patient's neuro exam was at baseline, and that MRI L spine would be of little utility given low suspicion for cord compression and that patient would not surgery. Medicine admission was pursued for case management input for placement, as well as treatment of possible UTI. On arrival to the floor, the patient denies any new symptoms. Of note, per her neurologist's note from ___, on ___ she was brought to ___ for difficulty standing up and feeling very weak. UA was negative for UTI. Also had some chronic low back pain. CT L spine was done showing a severe L1 compression fracture of unknown chronicity. She was discharged to rehab, where she has done very well with physical therapy. During the clinic visit on ___, it was noted that since her admission to ___ she had noticed that she has had a lot of urinary incontinence. She could not feel the need to urinate, happened every ___ hours but was reportedly slowly getting better. In the setting of back pain, ___ weakness, and urinary incontinence, the risk of cord compression was discussed during this clinic visit. Given that the solution would have been spinal surgery should severe compression be found on MRI, the patient and her family both said that she would not want any surgery. Because of this, MRI was deferred. Per her PCP's note from ___, the patient was recently hospitalized for another fall: The pt was ambulating around her house with a walker, let go off the walker, and fell into a radiator and hit her left knee upon the radiator causing second-degree burn and then also hit her right knee on the floor. Patient was admitted to ___ for a period of two days and then was discharged to rehab, and she was discharged from rehab to home on ___. She currently lives at home with her daughter, ___, who does her pills and manages her medication. She was discharged from rehab to home with ___ services, Occupational and Physical Therapy at home.

CLINICAL INFORMATION: Chest pain, question mediastinal pathology, free air. COMPARISON: None. TECHNIQUE: Frontal and lateral views of the chest. FINDINGS: Evidence of free air is seen beneath the diaphragms, right greater than left. There are relatively low lung volumes and minimal bibasilar atelectasis. No pleural effusion or pneumothorax is seen. The cardiac and mediastinal silhouettes are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: Evidence of pneumoperitoneum raising concern for bowel perforation. Dr. ___, was paged at 3:40 p.m. at the time of discovery. Through ED dashboard, the ED team is aware of free air under the diaphragms. Dr. ___ this at 3:45pm. Radiology Report HISTORY: Abdominal pain and free air under chest radiograph in a patient status post sigmoidoscopy. TECHNIQUE: MDCT acquired axial images were obtained from the lung bases to the pubic symphysis after administration of 130 cc Omnipaque intravenous contrast material as well as 400 cc of Optiray water soluble contrast per rectum. Coronal and sagittal reformats reviewed. COMPARISON: CT from ___. FINDINGS: The lower chest is unremarkable. The liver enhances homogeneously, without focal lesion. Gallbladder and biliary tree are normal. The spleen, adrenal glands, pancreas are normal. The kidneys enhance normally and excrete contrast symmetrically. There is a duplicated left collecting system. There are multiple small simple cysts in the bilateral kidneys. One complex cyst in the lower pole of the right kidney (2:52) appears unchanged with two possible inferior foci of enhancement, measuring 14-mm. The abdominal aorta is normal caliber with patent main branches. The portal, splenic, mesenteric veins are patent. The stomach and small bowel appear normal. The patient is status post sigmoidectomy. The colon is distended with gas. The descending colon again demonstrates wall thickening to the level of the anastamosis with surrounding stranding and adenopathy. The proximal extent of colonic wall thickening has progressed to the transverse colon compared to the prior study. The distal colon demonstrates circumferential wall thickening and extensive surrounding fat stranding. There is active extravasation of rectal contrast and air in the distal colon, just proximal to the anastomosis, best seen on series 2, image 70. There is fluid and fat stranding but no organized collection. There is large volume pneumoperitoneum as seen on the chest radiograph. The bladder, prostate, and seminal vesicles appear normal. There are no lytic or sclerotic osseous lesions concerning for malignancy. IMPRESSION: 1. Distal colonic perforation just proximal to the site of the anastomosis with leakage of air and rectal contrast into the peritoneum. There is no organized fluid collection. 2. Worsening descending colonic thickening and inflammatory changes, when compared to the prior study, compatible with colitis, possibly ischemic, infectious or inflammatory in etiology, 3. 14-mm complex right renal cyst could be further characterized by ultrasound. Radiology Report REASON FOR EXAMINATION: Evaluation of the patient with perforated colon during sigmoidoscopy with stricture dilatation. AP radiograph of the chest was reviewed, focusing on the lower chest, upper abdomen. The NG tube tip is in the proximal stomach and should be advanced. The stomach remains distended. There is interval decrease in intraperitoneal air. The lung bases are essentially clear. Due to different projection of the radiograph, it's difficult to assess the cardiomediastinal silhouette that appears to be artificially enlarged. Radiology Report REASON FOR EXAMINATION: Perforated diverticulitis after sigmoidectomy with anastomosis and now with tachycardia, assessment of the central venous line. AP radiograph of the chest was compared to ___. The right subclavian line has a somewhat tortuous course with the tip terminating in the mid SVC at the level of the carina. Correlation with the output of the line is recommended since it is unlikely to follow the usual course and potentially can be in one of the chest wall veins. Also, there is slight interval increase of amount of pleural fluid on the right that should be also further assessed to exclude the possibility of intrapleural position of the central venous line. Radiology Report REASON FOR EXAMINATION: Evaluation of the patient with bowel perforation, intubated. AP radiograph of the chest was reviewed in comparison to ___. The ET tube tip is 4.7 cm above the carina. NG tube tip is in the stomach. The central venous line tip is at the level of mid SVC. There is interval additional increase in pleural effusion and currently interval development of left lower lobe atelectasis. Patient is in interstitial pulmonary edema. Radiology Report REASON FOR EXAMINATION: Evaluation of the patient with bowel perforation, intubated, followup. AP radiograph of the chest was compared to prior study obtained the same day earlier. The ET tube tip is 6 cm above the carina. Right subclavian line tip is in the mid SVC. NG tube tip is in the stomach. Bilateral pleural effusions and bibasilar areas of atelectasis are demonstrated, but there is improvement of the left lower lobe atelectasis on the current study. No evidence of pneumothorax. Radiology Report CHEST RADIOGRAPH INDICATION: Perforated bowel, evaluation for endotracheal tube position. COMPARISON: ___, 11:14 a.m. FINDINGS: As compared to the previous radiograph, the position of the endotracheal tube is not substantially changed. The tube projects 5 cm above the carina. Also unchanged is the course of the nasogastric tube, the position of the right subclavian vein catheter. The patient continues to display bilateral pleural effusions and areas of bilateral basal atelectasis. Mild pulmonary edema might also be present. However, there is no evidence for a newly occurred parenchymal opacity suggesting pneumonia. No pneumothorax. Radiology Report INDICATION: History of perforated bowel status post repair. Patient requiring fluid resuscitation. Please evaluate for fluid status. COMPARISONS: Chest radiographs dating back to ___. TECHNIQUE: Single AP portable exam of the chest. FINDINGS: The ET tube terminates approximately 5.3 cm above the carina. There is a right-sided subclavian catheter which terminates in the mid SVC. The lung volumes are low resulting in crowding of the bronchovascular structures; however, there appears to be mild pulmonary vascular congestion. The patient continues to display small bilateral pleural effusions and mild areas of bilateral basilar atelectasis. There may be mild pulmonary edema, overall unchanged compared to the prior exam. There is no evidence of a pneumothorax. The heart size is normal. The hilar and mediastinal contours are normal. IMPRESSION: Stable mild bibasilar atelectasis. Mild pulmonary vascular congestion with mild bilateral pulmonary edema. Radiology Report HISTORY: Possible ARDS. FINDINGS: In comparison with the study of ___, the endotracheal tube is somewhat further above the clavicles, though only about 6 cm above the carina. Other monitoring and support devices are unchanged. Continued pulmonary vascular congestion with hazy opacification at the bases, silhouetting the hemidiaphragms, consistent with layering pleural effusions and compressive atelectasis at the bases. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ man status post ex-lap and washout, ileostomy, mucus fistula, with ? ARDS. Evaluate for interval change. TECHNIQUE: Portable AP semi-erect chest radiograph was obtained. COMPARISON: Chest radiograph from ___. FINDINGS: Continued mild pulmonary edema is seen, and opacification at bilateral bases is seen, consistent with pleural effusions and associated compressive atelectasis. The heart size is normal. The right central venous line ends at the mid-lower SVC, and the gastric tube curls in the stomach. ET tube is positioned high in the trachea, above the level of the clavicles. IMPRESSION: Continued pulmonary edema and bibasilar pleural effusions and compressive atelectasis. Recommend advancement of ET tube. Initial findings were conveyed to ___ of the surgical team on ___ at 10:15 immediately following review by Dr. ___. Radiology Report HISTORY: Abdominal closure. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: Supine views of the chest and abdomen were provided. Enteric tube is seen with tip in the gastric fundus. 2 surgical drains project over the pelvis as well as skin staples. There is no radiopaque foreign body identified. Nonspecific nonobstructive bowel gas pattern is seen. Extremely low lung volumes identified. IMPRESSION: No radiopaque foreign body besides drains and tubes as above. Findings were discussed with Dr. ___ the phone at time of interpretation at 21:40 on ___. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ man status post bowel perforation repair, section. Evaluate volume status. TECHNIQUE: Portable AP semi-erect chest radiograph was obtained. COMPARISON: Chest radiograph from ___. FINDINGS: Bilateral basilar opacification is seen with no focal consolidation or pneumothorax.

Right subclavian line ends in the lower SVC in appropriate position. IMPRESSION: Unchanged bilateral pleural effusions and bibasilar atelectasis. Mild cardiomegaly with mild vascular congestion. Radiology Report AP CHEST, 10:55 A.M., ___ HISTORY: ___ male with abdominal sepsis and desaturation. IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to ___ at 5:07 a.m.: Moderate bilateral pleural effusions and mild pulmonary edema have both improved since earlier in the day. Tip of the endotracheal tube at the upper margin of the clavicles, is no less than 5 cm from the carina. Heart size normal. No pneumothorax. Upper enteric drainage tube is curled in the gastric fundus. Right subclavian line ends in the mid-to-low SVC. No pneumothorax. Radiology Report AP CHEST, 3:54 A.M., ___ HISTORY: A ___ man with an anastomotic leak. IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to ___: Previous mild pulmonary edema continues to clear since ___. Substantial right pleural effusion and bibasilar atelectasis remain. The heart size is normal. Azygous distention suggests elevated central venous pressure. The tip of the endotracheal tube just below the upper margin of the clavicles with the chin down, is 4.5 cm above the carina, 2 cm above optimal placement for the chin in neutral position. The right subclavian line ends low in the SVC. No pneumothorax. Radiology Report AP CHEST, 12:39 P.M., ___ HISTORY: ___ man with bowel perforation and new left subclavian line placed. Evaluate possible pneumothorax. IMPRESSION: AP chest compared to ___, 3:54 a.m.: The tip of the new left subclavian line lies alongside the right line in the mid-to-low SVC. There is no pneumothorax or mediastinal widening. Moderate right pleural effusion has been present for several days, as has bibasilar atelectasis. Heart size normal. No pneumothorax. The tip of the endotracheal tube above the upper margin of the clavicles, nearly 6 cm from the carina is 2 cm above standard positioning, as before. Radiology Report CLINICAL HISTORY: Fluid overload. Evaluate for pulmonary edema or effusions. CHEST AP: ___. The position of the various lines and tubes is unchanged since the prior chest x-ray. The left lung shows some atelectasis, but is otherwise clear. A right effusion is present, decreased in size since the prior chest x-ray. IMPRESSION: Right effusion is somewhat smaller. Radiology Report CLINICAL HISTORY: Nasogastric tube repositioned, check position. CHEST: On the prior ultrasound the nasogastric tube is curled up within the fundus of the stomach. It has been withdrawn and the tip now lies within the stomach and is no longer curled. Elsewhere, the lung changes are unaltered. Radiology Report PORTABLE CHEST X-RAY, ___ COMPARISON: Chest x-ray one day earlier. FINDINGS: Indwelling support and monitoring devices are in standard position, and cardiomediastinal contours are stable in appearance. Slight improvement in small right pleural effusion with adjacent right lower lobe opacity which probably reflects atelectasis. Left lung is grossly clear except for minimal linear atelectasis at the left base. Radiology Report INDICATION: Bowel perforation after dilation of an anastomotic stricture from prior sigmoid colectomy. Now septic following diverting ileostomy, multiple washouts, with interstitial pulmonary edema. The last washout was on ___, followed by closure on ___. TECHNIQUE: MDCT-acquired axial images of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis were obtained following the uneventful administration of 130 cc of Omnipaque intravenous contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations were performed at 5 mm slice thickness. CT OF THE CHEST WITH IV CONTRAST: Included views of the thyroid are within normal limits. A left subclavian central venous catheter terminates at the lower SVC (2:23). The heart size is normal. There is a small pericardial effusion (2:38). An endotracheal tube terminates at the lower trachea (2:7). Small amount of mucous secretion lies just above the carina (2:12). The airways are otherwise patent to the subsegmental levels. There are small bilateral pleural effusions, larger on the right, with adjacent moderate compressive atelectasis of the bilateral lower lobes (2:31, 35). There are no pulmonary nodules or masses. There is no mediastinal or hilar lymphadenopathy. The great vessels are patent and normal in caliber. No large pulmonary embolus is detected to the segmental levels. CT OF THE ABDOMEN WITH IV CONTRAST: There is a left lower quadrant colostomy and right lower quadrant ileostomy (2:94, 73). Intra-abdominal loops of small and large bowel are normal in caliber. A nasogastric tube terminates in the stomach lumen (2:54). Mild ascites is within post-surgical limits. Tiny pockets of fluid track along both paracolic gutters (2:64, 78) and along the anterior abdomen (2:83), accompanied by mild neighboring peritoneal wall and fascial enhancement. Trace pneumoperitoneum is within post-surgical limits (2:52). The liver, pancreas, spleen, adrenal glands, and kidneys appear normal. Subcentimeter hypodense lesions throughout both kidneys (2:67, 85, 68) are unchanged in comparison to the reference CT examination from ___, and are statistically likely benign cysts. There is no mesenteric or retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. CT OF THE PELVIS WITH IV CONTRAST: A left lower approach surgical drain loops across the central pelvis (2:104). A small amount of intrapelvic ascites is seen. No discrete intrapelvic collection is present. A sigmoid anastomosis appears intact (2:106). The prostate and bladder are normal. A Foley catheter resides within the bladder, which contains a moderate amount of gas (2:115). There is no intrapelvic lymphadenopathy. OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: There is no acute fracture. There are no bony lesions concerning for malignancy or infection. IMPRESSION: 1. Mild intra-abdominal and intrapelvic ascites within post-surgical limits. Tiny pockets of fluid along the anterior abdomen and paracolic gutters are accompanied by mild peritoneal and fascial enhancement, reflecting inflammatory changes but indistingushable from infection. This is accessible to US or CT guided aspiration, if warranted. 3. Non-obstructed ileostomy and colostomy. 4. Subcentimeter hypodense renal lesions are statistically likely cysts, but are too small for further characterization on this single phase study. 5. Small pericardial effusion. Radiology Report HISTORY: Postoperative respiratory difficulties. FINDINGS: In comparison with the study of ___, there are lower lung volumes. Poor definition of the hemidiaphragms, especially on the right, suggests atelectatic change with possible effusions. There is an area of increased opacification just above the minor fissure, which could reflect either fluid in the fissure or possible developing consolidation in the upper lobe.

___ were admitted to the hospital after a perforated colon, for which ___ underwent numerous operations, including the creation of a diverting loop ileostomy and abdomen with a VAC. ___ have recovered from these operations and hospital course well and ___ are now ready to return home. ___ have tolerated a regular diet, passing gas/stool in your ostomy and your pain is controlled with pain medications by mouth. ___ may return home to finish your recovery. ___ will get ___ and physical therapy at home (set up by the hospital). ___ have a new ileostomy. The most common complication from a new ileostomy placement is dehydration. The output from the stoma is stool from the small intestine and the water content is very high. The stool is no longer passing through the large intestine which is where the water from the stool is reabsorbed into the body and the stool becomes formed. ___ must measure your ileostomy output for the next few weeks. The output from the stoma should not be more than 1200cc or less than 500cc. If ___ find that your output has become too much or too little, please call the office for advice. The office nurse or nurse practitioner can recommend medications to increase or slow the ileostomy output. Keep yourself well hydrated, if ___ notice your ileostomy output increasing, take in more electrolyte drink such as Gatorade. Please monitor yourself for signs and symptoms of dehydration including: dizziness (especially upon standing), weakness, dry mouth, headache, or fatigue. If ___ notice these symptoms please call the office or return to the emergency room for evaluation if these symptoms are severe. ___ may eat a regular diet with your new ileostomy. However it is a good idea to avoid fatty or spicy foods and follow diet suggestions made to ___ by the ostomy nurses. Please monitor the appearance of the ostomy and stoma and care for it as instructed by the wound/ostomy nurses. ___ stoma (intestine that protrudes outside of your abdomen) should be beefy red or pink, it may ooze small amounts of blood at times when touched and this should subside with time. The skin around the ostomy site should be kept clean and intact. Monitor the skin around the stoma for bulging or signs of infection listed above. Please care for the ostomy as ___ have been instructed by the wound/ostomy nurses. ___ will be able to make an appointment with the ostomy nurse in the clinic 7 days after surgery. ___ will have a visiting nurse at home for the next few weeks helping to monitor your ostomy until ___ are comfortable caring for it on your own. If ___ have any of the following symptoms please call the office for advice or go to the emergency room if severe: increasing abdominal distension, increasing abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, inability to tolerate food or liquids, prolonged loose stool, or extended constipation. In addition, continue eating small, frequent meals throughout the day to maintain your nutritional status. Your goal caloric intake is approximately 2800 calories/day, but do not eat so much that ___ feel nauseated or vomit. ___ have a long vertical incision on your abdomen. The skin is left open. ___ had a VAC on it while in the hospital. When ___ go home, ___ will go home with wet to dry dressings and the visiting nurses ___ replace the VAC. Please monitor the incision for signs and symptoms of infection including: increasing redness at the incision, increased pain at the incision line, draining of white/green/yellow/foul smelling drainage, or if ___ develop a fever. Please call the office if ___ develop these symptoms or go to the emergency room if the symptoms are severe. ___ may shower, let the warm water run over the incision line and pat the area dry with a towel, do not rub. No heavy lifting for at least 6 weeks after surgery unless instructed otherwise by Dr. ___ may gradually increase your activity as tolerated but clear heavy exercise with Dr. ___. ___ will be prescribed a small amount of the pain medication oxycodone. Please take this medication exactly as prescribed. ___ may take Tylenol as recommended for pain. Please do not take more than 4000mg of Tylenol daily.

Name: ___ Unit No: ___ Admission Date: ___ Discharge Date: ___ Date of Birth: ___ Sex: F Service: MEDICINE Allergies: No Known Allergies / Adverse Drug Reactions Attending: ___. Chief Complaint: Shortness of breath Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: None History of Present Illness: Ms. ___ is a ___ woman with hypothyroidism, obesity, T2DM, recent diagnosis of tracheomalacia, presenting with worsening shortness of breath. She reports having shortness of breath with exertion and at rest for at least the past year. About one year ago she could walk about one block before having to stop and catch her breath. Her shortness of breath has since progressed. She was hospitalized several months ago at ___ for these symptoms and was treated with steroids. At that time a chest CT was performed and demonstrated evidence of tracheobronchialmalacia with evidence of dynamic collapse at distal trachea and bilateral mainstem. In addition to prednisone, she has had trials of several different inhaled medications, without significant improvement. Currently she uses albuterol nebulizers with partial relief (up to q4hr when she is symptomatic, several times per week). She becomes SOB after walking only several feet. She has also had a chronic nonproductive cough. Describing her shortness of breath, at times she feels like she cannot get air in or out and also hears squeaks when she breaths. There are no apparent associated exacerbating or alleviating factors. She has had negative allergy testing, although does have rhinorrhea. She has had additional diagnostic studies for evaluation of shortness of breath including cardiac cath and multiple CT scans. Cath reportedly showed one area of 50% stenosis but no other abnormalities. Additionally, she has had intermittent swelling in her lower legs for at least the past several months, especially involving the right leg. This swelling is generally worse at the end of the day. She has had negative ___ ultrasounds during prior hospitalizations for shortness of breath in the past and has never had leg pain. Several days prior to the current presentation she had a severe episode of right ankle/foot swelling for which she kept her leg elevated with gradual improvement in this symptom. Ms. ___ was recently hospitalized at ___ with this SOB and right leg swelling as described above; she was discharged ___ for outpatient management. She was hoping to be evaluated by a thoracic surgeon, could not get an appointment until ___, and therefore presented to the ED for evaluation. On ROS, it is unclear if she has had PND, although she sleeps with 2 pillows. She has not had hemoptysis, fever, chills, night sweats, chest pain, or palpitations. She has not recent illnesses or travel. She does not smoke.

Dear Ms. ___, It was a pleasure to take care of you at ___ ___. WHY YOU WERE HERE: - You came into the hospital because you had left-sided abdominal pain and some shortness of breath, likely representing a sickle cell event. WHAT WE DID FOR YOU: - We did imaging of your abdomen and found that you had an enlarged spleen with impaired blood flow likely from sickling of blood cells. This was most likely causing your abdominal pain. There was no need for surgery for this. - You were also seen by the hematology (blood) team. - We gave you blood transfusions, IV fluid, oxygen and worked on controlled your pain. - You were also found on imaging to have imparied blood flow to your hip joints (called "avascular necrosis of the femoral head"): we contacted orthopedic surgery, and they decided that there was no intervention at this point because you had no symptoms. You have an appointment with them scheduled below. - Of note, we also found you have gallstones. This can happen in sickle cell disease. Please talk to your primary care doctor about this. There is nothing to do for it right now. WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU LEAVE THE HOSPITAL: - Please follow up with your doctors as ___ below. - Please be sure to take the hydroxyurea, as this can help prevent sickle cell events. - Please have your labs re-checked next ___ before you see your primary care doctor, we have given you a lab slip. - Please make sure you take senna and miralax while you are taking pain medication, this will prevent constipation! - We noticed your blood pressures are high. Please have your primary care doctor check this and discuss if you need further evaluation or treatment. - Please do not take oxycodone and drive, and do not take oxycodone and drink alcohol. Please do not take it with lorazepam (also called Ativan) as this can cause dangerous sedation and respiratory depression. PLEASE CALL OR VISIT YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU DEVELOP: - Worsening abdominal pain. - Worsening shortness of breath. - Fevers, chills, lightheadedness. - Any symptoms that concern you. We wish you all the best! Sincerely, Your Care Team

Severe atherosclerotic calcification causing severe stenosis at the proximal left subclavian artery, with unremarkable distal run-off. 2. Heavy atherosclerotic calcification of the origin of the left vertebral artery from the left subclavian artery V2 segment of the left vertebral artery demonstrates lack of opacification/heavily diminished opacification with reconstitution at the level of V3, likely due to retrograde collateral flow from the patent right vertebral artery. 3. Given the stenosis at the origin of the left subclavian artery with differential upper extremity blood pressures, it is possible that the lack of opacification of the left vertebral artery is secondary to steal syndrome. Although, occlusion of the left vertebral artery is more likely due to atherosclerotic disease, and the left vertebral artery itself would be expected to be opacified in the setting of subclavian steal. This can be further evaluated with ultrasound of the left vertebral artery. 4. The circle of ___ and its principal intracranial branches are patent. MRI ___ 1. No acute intracranial abnormality on noncontrast MRI head. Specifically no acute infarct. 2. There is lack of flow related signal of the left vertebral artery beginning at the distal V1 segment to the V4 segment. Contrast opacification seen in the V3 segment on earlier CTA is likely secondary to retrograde flow. There is no evidence of intramural thrombus or luminal thrombus on T1 fat saturated sequences with apparent preserved flow voids the left vertebral artery. Overall, in conjunction with evidence of high-grade stenosis of the proximal left subclavian artery with preserved flow related signal distally, the constellation of findings would suggest subclavian steal. Retrograde flow in the left vertebral artery can be definitively evaluated with ultrasound. 3. Allowing for mild atherosclerotic disease, unremarkable MRI brain. TTE ___ The left atrium and right atrium are normal in cavity size. With maneuvers, there is early appearance of agitated saline/microbubbles in the left atrium/left ventricle most consistent with a patent foramen ovale. The estimated right atrial pressure is ___ mmHg. Mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal cavity size, and regional/global systolic function (biplane LVEF = 66 %). Tissue Doppler imaging suggests an increased left ventricular filling pressure (PCWP>18mmHg). There is no ventricular septal defect. Right ventricular chamber size is normal with mild global free wall hypokinesis. The diameters of aorta at the sinus, ascending and arch levels are normal. Increased velocity consistent with a significant gradient/coarctation (peak 36 mmHg) at the distal aortic arch. The aortic valve leaflets are mildly thickened (?#). No aortic regurgitation is seen. The mitral valve leaflets are structurally normal. An eccentric, jet of mild to moderate (___) mitral regurgitation is seen. The estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure is high normal. There is no pericardial effusion. IMPRESSION: Likely patent foramen ovale. Likely aortic coarctation. Mild symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with preserved regional and global biventricular systolic function. Mild-moderate mitral regurgitation. Likely aortic coarctation. Increased PCWP.

Neuro: nonfocal Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CTA HEAD AND CTA NECK Q16 CT NECK INDICATION: ___ with dizziness diplopita and differential BPS in arms (30 point difference), weval for evidence of cva, arterial occlusion, or dissection. 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 Omnipaque350 intravenous contrast material. Three-dimensional angiographic volume rendered, curved reformatted and segmented images were generated on a dedicated workstation. This report is based on interpretation of all of these images. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Sequenced Acquisition 16.0 s, 16.0 cm; CTDIvol = 50.2 mGy (Head) DLP = 802.7 mGy-cm. 2) Stationary Acquisition 4.5 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 49.0 mGy (Head) DLP = 24.5 mGy-cm. 3) Spiral Acquisition 5.5 s, 43.2 cm; CTDIvol = 31.1 mGy (Head) DLP = 1,344.0 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Head) = 2,171 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: CT HEAD WITHOUT CONTRAST: There is no evidence of no evidence of infarction, hemorrhage, edema, or mass. The ventricles and sulci are prominent, compatible with involutional change. The visualized portion of the paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are clear. The visualized portion of the orbits are unremarkable. CTA HEAD: The vessels of the circle of ___ and their principal intracranial branches appear normal without stenosis, occlusion, or aneurysm formation. The dural venous sinuses are patent. Incidental note is made of a fetal type origin of the right posterior cerebral artery. A millimetric infundibulum arises from the supraclinoid portion of the left carotid artery (3:79). CTA NECK: There is severe atherosclerotic calcification causing stenosis at the proximal left subclavian artery (3:79), with distal opacification. The left vertebral artery origin is also heavily calcified (3:111), and the V2 segment of the left vertebral artery is demonstrate lack of contrast opacification or severely diminished opacification, and reconstitutes at the level of V3, likely due to retrograde collateral flow from the patent right vertebral artery. Atherosclerotic calcification of the bilateral carotid bifurcations does not result in stenosis of the cervical internal carotid arteries by NASCET criteria. Arteries unremarkable. OTHER: The visualized portion of the lungs are clear. The visualized portion of the thyroid gland is within normal limits. There is no lymphadenopathy by CT size criteria. IMPRESSION: 1. Severe atherosclerotic calcification causing severe stenosis at the proximal left subclavian artery, with unremarkable distal run-off. 2. Heavy atherosclerotic calcification of the origin of the left vertebral artery from the left subclavian artery V2 segment of the left vertebral artery demonstrates lack of opacification/heavily diminished opacification with reconstitution at the level of V3, likely due to retrograde collateral flow from the patent right vertebral artery. 3. Given the stenosis at the origin of the left subclavian artery with differential upper extremity blood pressures, it is possible that the lack of opacification of the left vertebral artery is secondary to steal syndrome. Although, occlusion of the left vertebral artery is more likely due to atherosclerotic disease, and the left vertebral artery itself would be expected to be opacified in the setting of subclavian steal. This can be further evaluated with ultrasound of the left vertebral artery. 4. The circle of ___ and its principal intracranial branches are patent. RECOMMENDATION(S): Further evaluation of impression 2 and 3 with ultrasound is recommended. NOTIFICATION: The above findings and recommendation were communicated via telephone by Dr. ___ to Dr. ___ at 13:50 on ___, 5 minutes after discovery. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: MRI AND MRA BRAIN AND MRA NECK PT11 MR ___ INDICATION: ___ year old man with triplicate vision x 10 mins// stroke TECHNIQUE: Three dimensional time of flight MR arteriography was performed through the brain with maximum intensity projection reconstructions. 2D time of flight MR angiography of the neck was performed. Axial T1 fat saturated sequences through the neck performed. Brain imaging was performed with sagittal T1 and axial FLAIR, T2, gradient echo and diffusion technique. Three dimensional maximum intensity projection and segmented images were generated. This report is based on interpretation of all of these images. The examination was performed using a 1.5T MRI. COMPARISON: CTA head and neck of ___ FINDINGS: MRI Brain: There is no intra or extra-axial mass, acute hemorrhage or infarct. The sulci, ventricles and cisterns are within expected limits for the patient's age. The major intracranial flow voids are preserved. There is mild mucosal thickening of the ethmoid air cells. Trace fluid signal is seen in the bilateral mastoid tips. The orbits are unremarkable. MRA brain: Mild numeral irregularity of the bilateral internal carotid arteries is compatible with mild atherosclerotic calcification. The intracranial vertebral and internal carotid arteries and their major branches otherwise appear normal without evidence of high-grade stenosis, occlusion, or aneurysm formation. MRA neck: Within confines of 2 dimensional time-of-flight MRA technique and motion artifact at the neck base, re-identified is lack of flow related signal of the left vertebral artery beginning at the distal V1 segment to the V4 segment. Contrast opacification seen in the V3 segment on earlier CTA is likely secondary to retrograde flow. There is no stenosis of the cervical internal carotid arteries by NASCET criteria. Within confines of technique, the visualize common carotid and right vertebral arteries are unremarkable. Re-identified is severe stenosis of the left subclavian artery near its origin. There is no evidence of T1 hyperintense signal within the lumen of the left vertebral artery or crescentic T1 hyperintense signal along the vessel wall to suggest thrombus or dissection. Of note, there appears to be uninterrupted flow voids through the left vertebral artery on the T1 fat saturated sequences. IMPRESSION: 1. No acute intracranial abnormality on noncontrast MRI head. Specifically no acute infarct. 2. There is lack of flow related signal of the left vertebral artery beginning at the distal V1 segment to the V4 segment. Contrast opacification seen in the V3 segment on earlier CTA is likely secondary to retrograde flow. There is no evidence of intramural thrombus or luminal thrombus on T1 fat saturated sequences with apparent preserved flow voids the left vertebral artery. Overall, in conjunction with evidence of high-grade stenosis of the proximal left subclavian artery with preserved flow related signal distally, the constellation of findings would suggest subclavian steal. Retrograde flow in the left vertebral artery can be definitively evaluated with ultrasound. 3. Allowing for mild atherosclerotic disease, unremarkable MRI brain. RECOMMENDATION(S): Further evaluation of impression 2 with ultrasound. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: Carotid Doppler Ultrasound INDICATION: ___ year old man with ?left subclavian steal syndrome// specifically, interested in flow direction on left vertebral artery TECHNIQUE: Real-time grayscale, color, and spectral Doppler ultrasound imaging of the carotid arteries was obtained.

The peak systolic velocity in the right common carotid artery is 59 cm/sec. The peak systolic velocities in the proximal, mid, and distal right internal carotid artery are 71, 75, and 114 cm/sec, respectively. The peak end diastolic velocity in the right internal carotid artery is 30 cm/sec. The ICA/CCA ratio is 1.9. The external carotid artery has peak systolic velocity of 87 cm/sec. The vertebral artery is patent with antegrade flow. LEFT: The left carotid vasculature has mild degree of heterogeneous atherosclerotic plaque. The peak systolic velocity in the left common carotid artery is 73 cm/sec. The peak systolic velocities in the proximal, mid, and distal left internal carotid artery are 44, 82, and 70 cm/sec, respectively. The peak end diastolic velocity in the left internal carotid artery is 23 cm/sec. The ICA/CCA ratio is 1.1. The external carotid artery has peak systolic velocity of 103 cm/sec. The vertebral artery is patent with retrograde flow suggestive of subclavian steal. IMPRESSION: 1. Moderate calcified atherosclerotic plaque yielding a 40-59% degree stenosis 2. Mild calcified atherosclerotic plaques yielding a less than 40 degree percent stenosis. 3. Retrograde flow in the left vertebral artery suggestive of subclavian steal RECOMMENDATION(S): The ultrasound findings confirm the diagnosis from the prior CTA of the head that the patient has subclavian steal syndrome related to an occluded left subclavian artery ostium. The left vertebral artery is patent but has retrograde flow. An interventional radiology consult is recommended for subclavian artery stenting.

Dear Mr. ___, You were admitted for sudden onset lightheadedness, blurry vision, and triplicate vision that was concerning for a stroke in the setting of having a subtherapeutic INR. You had an MRI of your brain done, and thankfully, it did not show a stroke. Nevertheless, you likely had a TIA (transient ischemic attack) given your symptoms and your risk factors. A TIA is a condition where a blood vessel providing oxygen and nutrients to the brain is blocked by a clot transiently. The brain is the part of your body that controls and directs all the other parts of your body, so damage to the brain from being deprived of its blood supply can result in a variety of symptoms. Stroke can have many different causes, so we assessed you for medical conditions that might raise your risk of having stroke. In order to prevent future strokes, we plan to modify those risk factors. Your risk factors are: Lupus anticoagulant positive High cholesterol Sleep apnea Diabetes Hypertension We are changing your medications as follows: Coumadin 4mg Please take your other medications as prescribed. Please follow up with Neurology and your primary care physician as listed below. If you experience any of the symptoms below, please seek emergency medical attention by calling Emergency Medical Services (dialing 911). In particular, since stroke can recur, please pay attention to the sudden onset and persistence of these symptoms: - Sudden partial or complete loss of vision - Sudden loss of the ability to speak words from your mouth - Sudden loss of the ability to understand others speaking to you - Sudden weakness of one side of the body - Sudden drooping of one side of the face - Sudden loss of sensation of one side of the body Sincerely, Your ___ Neurology Team

CTDIvol (mGy): 55.8. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: There is no intracranial hemorrhage, edema, mass effect, or acute vascular territorial infarction. The ventricles and sulci are prominent, in keeping with age related global atrophy. Periventricular and subcortical white matter hypodensities reflect the sequelae of chronic small vessel ischemic disease. Right parietal encephalomalacia may be from prior infarct. There is no shift of the normally midline structures.The basal cisterns appear patent and there is preservation of the gray-white matter differentiation. A small left occipital laceration is present, closed with skin staples (2b:20). No underlying fractures identified.The included paranasal sinuses, right mastoid air cells, and middle ear cavities are clear. Partial opacification of the left mastoids is noted. The orbits are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: No acute intracranial abnormality. Small left occipital scan laceration, closed with staples. No evidence of underlying fracture. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT C-SPINE WITHOUT CONTRAST. INDICATION: ___ s/p fall, hypotensive // Eval for injury TECHNIQUE: Axial helical MDCT images were obtained of the cervical spine. Reformatted coronal and sagittal images were also reviewed. DOSE: DLP: 946.6 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: The study is read in conjunction with concurrently obtained CT of the head and CT of the torso. FINDINGS: Nondisplaced fractures are noted through the bilateral C6 lamina (02:54), with an adjacent obliquely oriented fracture of the right C7 articular pillar/superior articular facet (2:56,58; 602:24), with extension into the right C7 transverse process (02:57). Nondisplaced fractures through the left fifth and sixth transverse processes and possibly the left third transverse process are also noted, with no evidence of extension into the transversarium foramen at those levels. The overall cervical lordosis is preserved, with no evidence of spondylolisthesis. The vertebral body heights and disc spaces are maintained. No critical spinal canal stenosis is identified.

NOTIFICATION: The changes in the above impression from the original wet read were communicated to Dr. ___ by Dr. ___ in person at 20:45, at the time of attending review. Radiology Report EXAMINATION: CT CHEST, ABDOMEN, AND PELVIS INDICATION: Trauma. TECHNIQUE: Multidetector CT through the chest, abdomen, and pelvis was performed following IV contrast administration with multiplanar reformations provided. COMPARISON: The study is read in comparison with concurrently obtained CT of cervical spine. FINDINGS: CHEST: The thoracic aorta is normal in course and caliber without evidence of focal injury, dissection, or aneurysm. Moderate atherosclerotic calcifications are noted in the coronary arteries, aortic annulus, and aortic arch. There is no mediastinal hematoma. The airways centrally patent. The main pulmonary artery and central branches appear patent. The heart is normal in size and shape. No pleural or pericardial effusion is seen. Severe bilateral apical predominant emphysematous changes are present, with no evidence of pleural effusion or pneumothorax. No concerning nodules or masses are identified. A subcentimeter hypodense nodule in the right thyroid lobe is incidentally noted (2:1). ABDOMEN: The liver and spleen appear intact without focal abnormality, except for a subcentimeter right hepatic lobe hypodensity (2:61), too small to characterize. There is no intra or extrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation, and the portal veins appear patent. The gallbladder, pancreas, and right adrenal gland appear normal. A 1.2 cm nodule seen within the left adrenal gland which is incompletely characterized on this contrast-enhanced exam. Bilateral renal cysts are noted (2:65, 2:68) as well as other hypodensities which are too small to characterize. Otherwise, the kidneys enhance symmetrically and excrete contrast promptly without hydronephrosis or focal lesion of concern. The intra-abdominal aorta contains moderate atherosclerotic calcium burden, with a patent celiac axis, superior mesenteric and inferior mesenteric artery. There is no abdominal aortic aneurysm. There is no retroperitoneal hematoma or lymphadenopathy. No free air or free fluid is seen. The stomach is distended with air and ingested material, and the duodenum and small bowel are moderately distended with air, with no evidence of focal injury or mechanical obstruction. The intra-abdominal loops of large bowel are unremarkable. PELVIS: Loops of small and large bowel demonstrate no signs of obstruction. There is no evidence of mesenteric injury. Foley catheter seen within the decompressed bladder. There is no pelvic free fluid. BONES: Multiple healed left sided rib fractures are seen (2:19, 2:25). Degenerative changes in the lumbar spine include disc height loss at the L4-5 level, with adjacent endplate sclerosis and anterior osteophytosis. Transitional lumbosacral anatomy include a partially sacralized L5 vertebral body on the left (601b:38). Acute left second and first rib fractures are better seen on CT of the cervical spine. IMPRESSION: 1. Left first and second rib fractures are better seen on concurrent CT cervical spine. No other evidence of acute traumatic injury in the chest, abdomen or pelvis. 2. Severe emphysema. 3. Coronary artery atherosclerotic disease. 4. Gastric distention, with mild dilation of small bowel loops, with no evidence of mechanical obstruction, likely ileus. 5. 1.2 cm left adrenal nodule, statistically benign likely an adenoma but incompletely characterized on this single phase exam. 6. Nodular thyroid. NOTIFICATION: The above findings and changes from the original wet read were communicated by Dr. ___ to Dr. ___ telephone at approximately 20:45, at the time of attending review.

You were brought to the hospital on ___ after two unwitnessed falls from standing height. You suffered a head laceration, left medial rib fractures of ribs 1 and 2 and a fracture of bilateral C6 laminae with extension into C6-7 facet and anterolisthesis of C6 on C7 for which you need to wear a collar for 8 weeks. Please call Dr. ___ as seen below if having increased neck pain. Keep the collar on at all times. Be sure to follow up with your XRAYS that are scheduled for you to have in 2 weeks. You are now stable and ready to be discharged from the hospital . Please adhere to the following instructions regarding your discharge. Rib Fractures: * Your injury caused 2 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). Please follow up with Spine and ACS. Your appointments have already been scheduled as seen below.

History of Present Illness: Per Colorectal Surgery Consultation Note: HPI: ___ w one prior episode of uncomplicated sigmoid diverticulitis treated at an OSH approximately 2 months ago, who was admitted to medicine service on ___ w one day of severe lower abdominal pain, found on CT scan to have uncomplicated sigmoid diverticulitis. Patient was placed on IV Unasyn but kept on a regular diet and continues to complain of severe lower abdominal pain with little improvement. Given patient's recent history of diverticulitis and lack of improvement on this hospitalization, colorectal surgery is consulted for further recommendations on management. The patient had his first episode of diverticulitis approximately 2 months ago when he presented to ___ with severe RLQ abdominal pain and CT confirmed uncomplicated sigmoid diverticulitis. He was given a 10 day course of PO cipro/flagyl and discharged from the ED, but returned 6 days later with worsening pain. At this point the CT was repeated and unchanged. He was admitted and treated with IV Unasyn for 6 days, then discharged home on a 2 week course of PO cipro and flagyl. He reports being completely pain and symptom free for approximately 7 weeks. About one week ago, he began experiencing bloating sensation and increased stool frequency, but no diarrhea. Of note, the patient has a history of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth which had been treated with rifaximin, and the symptoms seemed consistent with his prior episodes. However, two days prior to admission, the patient began experiencing severe b/l lower abdominal pain, which prompting him to come to the ED at ___. CT scan here again demonstrated sigmoid diverticulitis without evidence of perforation, abscess, or fluid collection. Patient reportedly had normal colonoscopy in ___ at ___, including no evidence of diverticulosis. He denies fevers, chills, unintentional weight loss, BRBPR or melena.

Dear Ms. ___, You were admitted for abdominal pain and nausea. During your time here you were given several medications to alleviate your pain and control the nausea. Your symptoms on presentation were suggestive of a gastrointestinal disease called GASTROPARESIS (your stomach and gut moves slower). When we treated you with a medication that promotes movement of your gut, you felt better and were able to eat some food and keep it down. We conducted lab tests to evaluate you for other possible autoimmune diseases such as Celiac's and we did not find anything irregular. You had an imaging study (CT Scan of your abdomen and pelvis) that came back with no abnormalities. You also had an endoscopy which did not reveal abnormalities. The GI (stomach and gut) doctors recommended that ___ with them in outpatient clinic. They will determine if a gastric emptying study or other examination such as colonscopy will be needed. Your TSH level was high during admission, so we increased your Levothyroxine dose to 75mcg. Please ___ with your primary care physician for continued maintenance of your hypothyroidism. Please take these NEW medications: - Reglan 10 mg before every meal and bedtime to help your gut and stomach move food better to reduce nausea and vomiting. - Docusate Sodium 100 mg twice a day as needed for constipation.

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Ambulatory - requires assistance or aid (walker or cane). Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report INDICATION: New left-sided weakness. TECHNIQUE: Contiguous axial images were obtained through the brain without IV contrast. Coronal, sagittal, thin-section bone reconstruction algorithm images were acquired. COMPARISON: NECT of the head ___. FINDINGS: There is no hemorrhage, edema, mass effect, or evidence of infarction. Subtle hypodensity in the posterior limb of the right internal capsule may be due to artifact and is not appreciated on NECT of the head of ___. The ventricles and sulci are normal in size and configuration. The basal cisterns are patent. Gray-white matter differentiation is preserved. The calvaria are unremarkable. The visualized paranasal sinuses, mastoid air cells and middle ear cavities are clear. Previously noted polypoidal lesion in nasopharynx is again noted. IMPRESSION: 1. No acute intracranial abnormality. 2. Subtle hypodensity in the posterior limb of the right internal capsule may be due to artifact. Recommend correlating this with neurologic deficits. Radiology Report INDICATION: Weakness. Evaluation for pneumonia. ___. FINDINGS: Portable AP radiograph demonstrates no focal consolidation, pleural effusion, or pneumothorax. Lung volumes are low with mild elevation of the left hemidiaphragm. The cardiomediastinal silhouette is normal. There is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. IMPRESSION: No acute cardiopulmonary process. Radiology Report INDICATION: Question stroke. COMPARISON: CT from ___ and ___. TECHNIQUE: Axial CT images were acquired through the head without intravenous contrast. Thereafter, images were acquired through the head and neck following the uneventful intravenous administration of iodine-based contrast. From these latter images, multiplanar maximum intensity projection reformats, as well as three-dimensional vascular reconstructions, volume-rendered images and curved reformatted images were created. FINDINGS: CT HEAD WITHOUT CONTRAST: There is no intracranial hemorrhage, edema, mass effect or vascular territorial infarction. Ventricles and sulci are normal in size and in configuration. A polypoid lesion sitting within the nasopharynx described on previous CT examinations is redemonstrated (series 2, image 1). There is mild mucosal thickening in the superior aspect of the frontal sinus, as well as posteriorly in the left aspect of the sphenoid sinus. Mastoid air cells are clear. CT ANGIOGRAM OF THE HEAD AND NECK: Images at the upper thorax up to the thoracic inlet are limited to streak artifact, likely secondary to patient habitus. That being said, there is a normal three-vessel branching pattern to the aortic arch. The origin of both common carotids is normal, as is that of the left vertebral artery, though this latter is difficult to evaluate secondary to the technical matters discussed above. In addition, note is made of a markedly diminutive right vertebral artery, the origin of which is not clearly visualized. The aortic bifurcations are clear bilaterally and there is no hemodynamically significant stenosis. The minimum diameter of the right internal carotid artery proximally is 8.8 mm, in comparison to the diameter of 4.1 mm distally. Similar measurements on the left are 9.6 mm proximally and 4.5 mm distally. Intracranial circulation reveals a moderate amount of atherosclerotic calcification along the cavernous portions of the internal carotid arteries bilaterally. Anatomy is conventional in orientation. There are no luminal caliber irregularities to suggest thromboembolic filling defect, dissection or aneurysm. Soft tissue structures of the neck reveal bilateral palatine tonsilliths. There is no space-occupying mass in the neck or lymphadenopathy by size criteria. The thyroid is notable for a posterior nodule extending from the right lobe, the precise margins of which are difficult to measure given the artifact at this level. Imaged portions of the lung apices are clear as are imaged portions of the mediastinum. Degenerative changes are present in the spine, though there is no suspicious sclerotic or lytic lesion. IMPRESSION: 1. No acute intracranial hemorrhage or evidence of vascular territorial infarction. If concern persists, and the patient is able, would consider MRI for further evaluation. 2. No evidence of aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm, dissection or thromboembolic filling defect. Notably, the level of the thoracic inlet is limited due to streak artifact and thus the origin of the diminutive right vertebral artery and normal caliber left vertebral artery is not well evaluated. 3. Right posterior thyroid nodule. Precise margination is difficult given the streak artifact. If not already performed, would recommend comparison to thyroid function tests and thyroid sonography on a non-urgent basis. 4. Soft tissue in the nasopharynx, likely a polyp. If relevant clinically, this could be correlated to direct examination. Radiology Report HISTORY: ___ male with recent possible right-sided stroke, now with new changes in mental status. Assess for hemorrhage given anticoagulation. COMPARISON: Non-contrast head CT from ___. TECHNIQUE: MDCT axial images of the brain were obtained without intravenous contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations were prepared. NON-CONTRAST HEAD CT: There is no evidence of hemorrhage, mass, mass effect, or infarction. Previously described subtle hypodensity in the posterior limb of the right internal capsule is not evident on the current study and likely reflected artifact previously. Gray-white matter differentiation is preserved. Ventricles and sulci are normal in size and configuration. There is no shift of the usually midline structures. Suprasellar and basilar cisterns are widely patent. There is no scalp hematoma or acute skull fracture. A polypoid lesion within the nasopharynx is unchanged from prior examination (2:1). The visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are well aerated. IMPRESSION: No evidence of hemorrhage or infarction.

You presented to the emergency department for diffuse weakness, and a CT of your head was initially concerning for a possible small stroke. You were admitted to the stroke service and received a CT-angiogram, and this was not revealing for a new stroke. Additionally, the final read from the CT you had in the ED returned as negative for stroke as well. Your blood work was overall reassuring, and you are already receiving medications to help prevent future strokes (aspirin and warfarin). Your weakness is thought to be secondary to your underlying medical conditions (HES) and perhaps deconditioning or mild dehydration. We felt your exam improved while in the hospital and you also reported you felt your weakness was improved. We will discharge you back to your rehab facility with the same medications you were on before.

Axial T2 imaging wasperformed. Post-contrast images were obtained. COMPARISON: No prior MRI. Prior x-ray dated ___. FINDINGS: Patient is status post L4-S1 posterior spinal fusion with interbody spacers. Alignment is maintained. There is abnormal T2/STIR signal in the L1 and L2 vertebral bodies with post-contrast enhancement within these vertebral bodies as well as within the intervertebral disc space. There is signal abnormality noted in the L4 through S1 vertebral bodies which is likely postoperative all the infection cannot be entirely excluded. There is a central/left paracentral disc protrusion at L1-L2 without significant spinal canal stenosis. There is disc bulge at L2-L3 without significant spinal canal stenosis. There is no canal compromise in the region of surgery. There is clumping of the nerve roots noted beginning at L4 and extending through to the level of S1 suspicious for arachnoiditis. Postoperative images reveal enhancing tissue in the operative bed and epidural space which is most likely postoperative granulation tissue. There is a superficial collection in the posterior subcutaneous tissues which measures 12.0 cm SI by 5.7 cm TV and is likely postoperative. A right-sided extra renal pelvis is incidentally noted. IMPRESSION: 1. Abnormal T2 signal and enhancement within the L1 and L2 vertebral bodies with post-contrast enhancement also noted within the L1-L2 intervertebral disc space. While these findings could be seen in degenerative disease, infection cannot be excluded. Comparison to prior studies would be useful. 2. Patient is status post L4-S1 posterior spinal fusion. There is no canal compromise in the region of surgery There is mild clumping of the nerve roots in this region suggesting a arachnoiditis. 3. 12.0 cm SI x 5.7 cm TV fluid collection in the posterior subcutaneous tissues likely postoperative Radiology Report EXAMINATION: UNILAT LOWER EXT VEINS LEFT INDICATION: History: ___ with left leg pain.

ANESTHESIA: Intravenous administration of 50 mcg of fentanyl was performed during which the patient's hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored by an independent trained radiology nurse. 1% lidocaine was injected in the skin and subcutaneous tissues overlying the access site. MEDICATIONS: Fentanyl, ortho solution, 1% lidocaine CONTRAST: 10 ml of Optiray contrast. FLUOROSCOPY TIME AND DOSE: 11.1 min, 94 mGy PROCEDURE: PROCEDURE DETAILS: Following the explanation of the risks, benefits and alternatives to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the patient. The patient was then brought to the angiography suite and placed supine on the exam table. A pre-procedure time-out was performed per ___ protocol. The left upper chest was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. Under continuous ultrasound guidance, the patent left internal jugular vein was compressible and accessed using a micropuncture needle. Permanent ultrasound images were obtained before and after intravenous access, which confirmed vein patency. Subsequently a Nitinol wire was passed into the right atrium using fluoroscopic guidance. The needle was exchanged for a micropuncture sheath. The Nitinol wire was removed and a Amplatz wire was advanced however would not passed easily into the IVC. A MPA catheter and Glidewire were used to attempt to get access to the IVC. Due to difficulty, a small contrast injection was performed which demonstrated position within the atrium and the hepatic veins. Ultimately, a hepatic vein was selected and the Amplatz wire was passed into the a hepatic vein. Next, attention was turned towards creation of a tunnel over the upper anterior chest wall. After instilling superficial and deeper local anesthesia using lidocaine mixed with epinephrine, a small skin incision was made at the tunnel entry site. A 23cm tip-to-cuff length catheter was selected. The catheter was tunneled from the entry site towards the venotomy site from where it was brought out using a tunneling device. The venotomy tract was dilated using the introducer of the peel-away sheath supplied. Following this, the peel-away sheath was placed over the Amplatz wire through which the catheter was threaded into the right side of the heart with the tip in the right atrium. The sheath was then peeled away. The catheter was sutured in place with 0 silk sutures. Steri-strips were also used to close the venotomy incision site. Final spot fluoroscopic image demonstrating good alignment of the catheter and no kinking. The tip is in the right atrium. The catheter was flushed and both lumens were capped. Sterile dressings were applied. The patient tolerated the procedure well. FINDINGS: Patent left internal jugular vein.

Level of Consciousness: Alert and interactive. Activity Status: Ambulatory - Independent. Followup Instructions: ___ Radiology Report EXAM: Chest frontal AP portable view. CLINICAL INFORMATION: ___ male with history of shortness of breath and bradycardia. COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: AP portable views of the chest were obtained. No focal consolidation, pleural effusion, or evidence of pneumothorax is seen. The cardiac and mediastinal silhouettes are unremarkable. Calcification of the aorta is likely present. There is no widening of the mediastinum. Degenerative changes are seen at the acromioclavicular joints. IMPRESSION: No acute cardiopulmonary process. Radiology Report INDICATION: History of AAA repair and chest pain. Please evaluate for dissection or AAA leak. COMPARISON: No prior studies available for comparison. TECHNIQUE: Intravenous contrast was administered and arterial phase imaging was acquired. Non-contrast axial images were acquired through the chest. FINDINGS: CTA: The pulmonary vasculature shows no filling defect to suggest pulmonary embolism. Significant arthrosclerotic changes are noted throughout the coronary vessels, particularly the left anterior descending and the left coronary artery. Atherosclerosis is seen throughout the thoracic and abdominal aorta, extending into the bilateral iliacs and femoral arteries. The patient is status post aorto-biiliac endovascular stent with stent positioned immediately inferior to the left renal artery. A 4.5 x 4.8 x 4.4 cm infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm with hyperdensity evident within the aneurysmal sac well inferior to the presumed junction of the aorto and iliac graft junction. Hyperdensity appears to extend from a right lumbar collateral vessel (3:144). No surrounding mesenteric changes to suggest impending rupture of aneurysmal sac. The ostia of the renal, celiac, and superior mesenteric arteries appears widely patent. CT CHEST: No focal pulmonary opacifications or nodules evident. Diffuse predominantly upper lobe centrilobular and paraseptal emphysematous changes noticed with bullous emphysema noted anteriorly bilaterally. Minimal dependent atelectatic changes are noted in the posterior aspect of the lungs. The heart size is normal without pericardial effusion. There is a small hiatal hernia. CT ABDOMEN: Although this exam is not tailored for evaluation of the intra-abdominal parenchyma, there is no discrete lesion identified within the liver. There is no intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation. The gallbladder is unremarkable. The pancreas and spleen are normal. The bilateral adrenal glands are normal. The bilateral kidneys are normal in size and excrete contrast symmetrically. Multiple simple renal cysts are identified in both kidneys. No stones are evident. There is no hydronephrosis or hydroureter identified. The stomach, small and large bowel are unremarkable. There is no retroperitoneal, mesenteric, or portacaval lymphadenopathy evident. CT PELVIS: The appendix is visualized and is unremarkable. The rectum and sigmoid colon are unremarkable. The bladder wall appears somewhat thickened. This may reflect collapse around an inserted Foley catheter or hypertrophy due to chronic outlet obstruction due to an enlarged prostate measuring 6 cm in its greatest dimension. The seminal vesicles are unremarkable. There is no pelvic sidewall or inguinal lymphadenopathy evident. There is no free fluid in the pelvis. OSSEOUS STRUCTURES: There are no suspicious lytic or blastic lesions evident. A well-corticated linear lucency is noted in the left first rib anteriorly, likely represents a remote fracture(3:2). In addition, there is a linear lucency with cortical stepoff noted within the left posterior bridge of S1 with no evidence of bony healing and may represent a more recent trauma. Please correlate clinically. IMPRESSION: 1. No pulmonary embolism. Infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm with evidence of endoleak, likely type II from a right-sided lumbar artery. No evidence of impending hemorrhage. 2. Linear lucency in the left first rib appears to be well-corticated and may represent remote fracture. 3. A linear lucency in the left S1 with no evidence of cortication may represent a more recent traumatic fracture. Please correlate with clinical history. 4. Thickened bladder wall likely represents combination of collapse and hypertrophy from chronic outlet obstruction due to enlarged prostate, but cannot exclude infectious process. Please correlate with urine analysis. Radiology Report CLINICAL HISTORY: Pacemaker placed. Check position.

INDICATION: ___ year old man with HIV, poorly controlled, fevers, lumbar back pain // ? abscess. TECHNIQUE: Sagittal imaging was performed with T2, T1, and STIR technique, followed by axial T2 imaging. This was followed by sagittal and axial T1 images obtained after the uneventful intravenous administration of 6 mL of Gadavist contrast agent. COMPARISON: Lumbar spine radiographs ___. FINDINGS: Limited examination secondary to patient motion artifact. There is minimal grade 1 retrolisthesis of L5 on S1. As seen on prior lumbar radiograph, there is demonstration of endplate scalloping of the L1, L2, L4 and L5 vertebral bodies. There is loss of intervertebral disc height at the L5-S1 level, with associated T1 hypointense and T2/STIR hyperintense signal of the endplates at this level, likely reflecting type ___ ___ changes. Vertebral body and intervertebral disc signal intensity appear otherwise normal. The spinal cord appears normal in caliber and configuration. There is no evidence of infection or neoplasm. At the T12-L1, L1-L2, and L2-L3, there is no significant spinal canal stenosis or neural foraminal narrowing. At the L3-L4 level, there is mild facet hypertrophy causing mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. There is no spinal canal stenosis. At the L4-L5 level, there is minimal disc bulge and facet hypertrophy resulting in mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. There is no spinal canal stenosis. At the L5-S1 level, there is central disc protrusion which contacts the traversing nerve roots bilaterally and results in mild anterior thecal sac deformity. There is narrowing of the right and left lateral recesses with moderate to severe bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. The sacroiliac joints and the visualized paravertebral structures are unremarkable. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence for abscess formation. 2.

Radiology Report EXAMINATION: LUMBO-SACRAL SPINE (AP AND LAT) INDICATION: ___ year old man with HIV p/w n/v/d and low back pain ___ years with TTP over L4-L5 spinous process // evaluate for fracture COMPARISON: Lumbar spine films dated ___ FINDINGS: There are 5 non-rib-bearing vertebral bodies. Mild superior endplate scalloping at multiple vertebral body levels is noted. This appears to involve T12, L1, L2, and L4 and possibly L3 and L5. Loss of vertebral body height is most pronounced at L1 and L2, where it represents approximately 33% loss of vertebral body height. No obvious retropulsion. There is mild disc space narrowing and minimal spurring and suspected grade 1 retrolisthesis at L5/S1. As before, the L3/4 and L4/5 disc spaces appear widened, though this could be artifact due to changes in surrounding vertebral bodies. Disc heights are otherwise preserved without other levels of spondylolisthesis. Mild moderate facet arthrosis is seen from L3 through S1. Previously suggested spondylolysis at L5 is not clearly identified on this exam, but could be obscured by overlapping bony structures. The spinous processes, including L4 and L5, are grossly unremarkable. Small amounts of scattered aortic calcification are noted. Mild degenerative changes about both SI joints again noted. IMPRESSION: Superior endplate scalloping involving T12, L1, L2, and L4 and probably also to a lesser degree at L3 and L5, compatible with multiple, subtle, nonacute vertebral body fractures. In retrospect, the appearances are similar to ___, including discogenic and facet degenerative changes and retrolisthesis at L5/S1. If clinically indicated, MRI could help for further assessment. Mild degenerative changes about both SI joints, similar to prior. Faint aortic calcification, an unusual finding in someone of this age. Is the patient a diabetic or do they have vasculopathy?

You were admitted to the hospital for a small bowel obstruction. You were given bowel rest and intravenous fluids and a nasogastric tube was placed in your stomach to decompress your bowels. You then underwent an operation to relieve your bowel obstruction and it has now resolved. You have tolerated a regular diet, are passing gas and your pain is controlled with pain medications by mouth. You may return home to finish your recovery. Please monitor your bowel function closely. You may or may not have had a bowel movement prior to your discharge which is acceptable, however it is important that you have a bowel movement in the next ___ days. After anesthesia it is not uncommon for patient’s to have some decrease in bowel function but you should not have prolonged constipation. Some loose stool and passing of small amounts of dark, old appearing blood are expected. However, if you notice that you are passing bright red blood with bowel movements or having loose stool without improvement please call the office or go to the emergency room if the symptoms are severe. If you are taking narcotic pain medications there is a risk that you will have some constipation. Please take an over the counter stool softener such as Colace, and if the symptoms do not improve call the office. If you have any of the following symptoms please call the office for advice or go to the emergency room if severe: increasing abdominal distension, increasing abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, inability to tolerate food or liquids, prolonged loose stool, or extended constipation. You have a long vertical incision on your abdomen that is closed with staples. This incision can be left open to air or covered with a dry sterile gauze dressing if the staples become irritated from clothing. The staples will stay in place until your first post-operative visit at which time they can be removed in the clinic, most likely by the office nurse. Please monitor the incision for signs and symptoms of infection including: increasing redness at the incision, opening of the incision, increased pain at the incision line, draining of white/green/yellow/foul smelling drainage, or if you develop a fever. Please call the office if you develop these symptoms or go to the emergency room if the symptoms are severe. You may shower, let the warm water run over the incision line and pat the area dry with a towel, do not rub. No heavy lifting for at least 6 weeks after surgery unless instructed otherwise by Dr. ___ Dr. ___. You may gradually increase your activity as tolerated but clear heavy exercise should be avoided. You will be prescribed a small amount of the pain medication oxycodone. Please take this medication exactly as prescribed. You may take Tylenol as recommended for pain. Please do not take more than 4000mg of Tylenol daily. Do not drink alcohol while taking narcotic pain medication or Tylenol. Please do not drive a car while taking narcotic pain medication. Thank you for allowing us to participate in your care! Our hope is that you will have a quick return to your life and usual activities. Good luck!
