Generate impression based on medical findings. | The risks (including, but not limited to, those of bleeding, infection, allergic reaction, temporary nerve block, pain, and inability to access the joint) and benefits of the procedure were explained to the patient, and informed written consent was obtained. A pre-procedural “time-out” form was completed.The patient was placed supine on the fluoroscopy table. The left shoulder was localized fluoroscopically, and a spot radiograph was obtained. The skin was cleansed and covered with a sterile drape. The skin and subcutaneous tissues were anesthetized with 1% lidocaine using 25-gauge and 22-gauge needles.Under fluoroscopic guidance, a 21-gauge needle was advanced into the joint. Attempted aspiration yielded no fluid. Next, 10 ml of a 50/50 mixture of Omnipaque 240 (to confirm the intra-articular position of the needle) and dilute Multihance (0.1 cc in a 10 cc vial of saline, for subsequent MR imaging) were injected into the joint. Contrast opacified the joint in the expected manner. A spot radiograph was obtained for documentation. The needle was withdrawn. Blood loss was negligible (<1cc), and patient tolerated the procedure well without immediate complication. An adhesive bandage was placed on the patient’s skin. Routine post procedure instructions were communicated to the patient. The patient was escorted to the MRI suite for further imaging in stable condition. Please refer to the subsequent MRI report for further information.Exposure time: 55 seconds | Successful left shoulder arthrogram. |

Generate impression based on medical findings. | Female 38 years old; Reason: Achilles tear? Ankle instability. History: Ankle instability. Pain and swelling of achilles TENDONS: The anterior fibers of the distal Achilles tendon appear minimally convex with minimal streaky increased signal, which may represent minimal tendinosis, however this is equivocal and appears similar to that seen on the prior study. No Achilles tendon tear is seen. There is mild edema in the pre-Achilles fat which may reflect mild inflammation or bursitis, though this also appears similar to the prior study. There is mild edema in the superior aspect of the posterior calcaneus, which is likely reactive and related to the aforementioned soft tissue inflammation. There is perhaps a minimal Haglund deformity of the calcaneus. The remaining tendons are within normal limits. LIGAMENTS: The anterior talofibular ligament is attenuated, perhaps reflecting prior injury though appearing similar to the prior study. The calcaneofibular and posterior talofibular ligaments are intact. The distal tibiofibular syndesmosis is intact. Loss of the normal fatty striations of the deltoid ligament may reflect prior injury, however this appears similar to the prior study. ARTICULAR SURFACES AND BONE: Again seen is the small focus of increased T2 signal in the medial aspect of the talar dome, which may represent a degenerative cyst or old osteochondral defect and appears similar to that seen on the prior study. Other than the aforementioned calcaneal edema, no additional bone abnormality is seen.ADDITIONAL | 1. Mild inflammatory changes in the pre-Achilles fat in the approximate location of the retrocalcaneal bursa, with mild reactive edema in the underlying calcaneus. There is perhaps minimal tendinosis of the distal Achilles tendon, however this is equivocal and is unchanged from the prior study.2. Other findings as described above, appearing similar to the prior study. |

Generate impression based on medical findings. | Male, 47 years old, with history of L3-4 diskitis osteomyelitis with MRSA bacteremia. The L3-4 intervertebral disk demonstrates abnormal increased T2 signal with irregularity and patchy T2 hyperintensity of the adjacent end plates. Moderate ill-defined T2 hyperintensity is seen within the adjacent paraspinal soft tissues, including the psoas musculature. No discrete epidural or paraspinal fluid collections are seen. A few scattered mildly prominent para-aortic and aortocaval lymph nodes are seen.Mild T2 hyperintensity is seen within the T11-12 disk space. There are small Schmorl's nodes along the adjacent end plates as well as increased T2 signal along the T12 superior endplate.

No significant spinal canal or neuroforaminal stenosis. | Constellation of findings at L3-4 including abnormal disk signal intensity, irregularity and abnormal signal intensity of the adjacent endplates, and edema/inflammation of the adjacent paraspinal soft tissues, compatible with diskitis osteomyelitis. No definite discrete or drainable epidural or paraspinal collections are seen, though sensitivity for this is somewhat reduced without IV contrast. Peri-facet edema at L3-4, and to a lesser extent at L4-5, may be degenerative in nature, but the possibility exists that the posterior elements are also involved with infection.Mild abnormal signal of the T11-12 disk with some evidence of endplate edema at T12 could be degenerative, but the possibility of osteomyelitis diskitis must be considered at this level as well.Degenerative disk disease and posterior element hypertrophy result in a moderate generalized spinal canal stenosis and significant right neuroforaminal narrowing at L2-3. Abnormalities of the disk and posterior elements at L3-4 contribute to a moderate generalized spinal canal stenosis and significant neuroforaminal narrowing. |

There are also calcified globular lesions in the left temporal lobe and left basal ganglia, measuring up. In addition, there are patchy susceptibility effect and T1 hyperintensity diffusely within the bilateral lenticular nuclei. Furthermore, there are gyriform calcifications in the right temporal lobe. There are also scattered foci of susceptibility effect in the bilateral cerebral hemispheres. There are postoperative findings related to frontal craniotomy with encephalomalacia in the bilateral anterior frontal lobe with ex vacuo dilatation of the frontal horns of the bilateral lateral ventricles. There is also volume loss of the bilateral prechiasmatic optic nerves. There is diffuse cerebellar volume loss. There is a right frontal linear T2 high signal tracking to the right lateral ventricle related to a previous ventriculostomy tract. There is no evidence of acute infarction. There are no enhancing intracranial lesions. | 1. Apparent postoperative findings related to remote frontal craniotomy with encephalomalacia and susceptibility effect corresponding to calcifications in the bilateral anterior frontal lobes, as well as atrophy of the bilateral optic nerves. 2. Densely calcified extra-axial lesions along the planum sphenoidale and sella, as well as along the left petrous apex, may represent dystrophic calcifications from prior hemorrhage or radiation therapy if this were indeed administered, versus calcifying pseudotumors of the neuraxis or related to treated neoplasm, perhaps originally a craniopharyngioma, for example. 3. Densely calcified globular lesions in the left temporal lobe and left basal ganglia, as well as multiple punctate scattered foci of susceptibility effect in the bilateral cerebral hemispheres may represent treated tumors, chronic hemorrhages, and/or cavernous malformations. 4. Patchy mineralization present diffusely within the bilateral lenticular nuclei may represent dystrophic calcifications related to treatment effects, such as mineralizing microangiopathy, or an underlying metabolic disorder.5. Gyriform calcifications in the right temporal lobe with underlying white matter hypoattenuation may represent sequela of prior trauma or infarction. 6. Diffuse cerebellar volume loss is likely related to anti-epileptic use. |

Generate impression based on medical findings. | 82 -year-old woman with history of non-small cell lung cancer and lesion noted on recent CT. There is a rim-enhancing 12 x 11 mm lesion in the left inferior frontal lobe (series 1401, image 17) with an adjacent, 4 mm enhancing nodule immediately anterior. The left inferior frontal lobe lesion demonstrates increased central T2 signal, likely related to cystic degeneration or necrosis. There is vasogenic edema within the surrounding white matter of the left frontal lobe with increased T2 signal extending to the left frontal horn of the left lateral ventricle. There is minimal associated mass effect with effacement of the overlying left frontal sulci.There is no abnormal leptomeningeal enhancement, although 3D T1 postcontrast images are slightly limited by artifact. The major intracranial vessels appear patent.Extensive, bilateral scattered areas of increased T2 signal in the periventricular and subcortical white matter are nonspecific but most suggestive of chronic small vessel ischemic disease.No abnormality on diffusion-weighted images to suggest acute ischemia. No abnormality on susceptibility weighted images to suggest intracranial hemorrhage. | 1.Rim-enhancing lesion in the inferior left frontal lobe with enhancing small satellite nodule. Associated vasogenic edema with mild sulcal effacement but no significant mass effect. Given the history, this is most compatible with metastasis.2.No additional enhancing lesions identified. |
Generate impression based on medical findings. | Right wrist/hand pain, decreased range of motion. Bone marrow signal intensity is normal. Note is made of congenital coalition of the lunate and triquetrum, a normal variant. There is perhaps mild synovitis dorsal to the proximal carpal row, but this is equivocal. The metacarpophalangeal joints appear normal. This study was not protocoled for detailed evaluation of the ligaments, but I see no gross abnormalities. Subjectively, there appears to be slight dorsal subluxation of the ulna relative to the sigmoid notch of the radius; however, using the modified radioulnar method of measurement as well as the epicenter method of measurement, distal radioulnar joint alignment is within normal limits. The visualized portions of the tendons of the hand and wrist appear normal. I see no definite abnormalities of the triangular fibrocartilage complex; apparent increase in signal intensity along the volar aspect of the volar radioulnar ligament likely simply represents interface with the ulnolunate and ulnotriquetral ligaments. The remaining soft tissue structures appear normal. | There is perhaps mild synovitis dorsal to the proximal carpal row, but I otherwise see no definite findings to account for the patient's pain. Although subjectively there appears to be slight dorsal subluxation of the distal ulna relative to the sigmoid notch of the radius, measurements do not support a true subluxation. If there is clinical concern for distal radioulnar joint instability then bilateral wrist CT with neutral, supination, and pronation positioning may be considered. |

Again seen are foci of deformity of the posteroinferior aspect of the cerebellum, with tenting towards the overlying dura and unchanged. There is a retroflexed dens with associated narrowing of the column of cerebrospinal fluid flow across the anterior neo-foramen magnum. Biphasic flow anteriorly at the foramen magnum is otherwise preserved. There is diminished CSF flow and diminished CSF space dorsal to the cervical cord, not significantly changed since 2/11/2016, allowing for slight differences in technique. Biphasic flow at the foramen Magendie appears preserved.There appears to be slight further decrease in size of the thoracic syrinx with minimal residual prominence of the central canal measuring 1 to 2 mm seen at T5-T6 and in the mid to lower thoracic cord more inferiorly. Previous seen tiny syrinx which is less visible on the current study is likely partly related to motion degradation on the current study. No new cord signal abnormality. Vertebral body heights and alignment are grossly unremarkable aside from mild straightening. Conus is in normal position at the upper L2 level. No spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis is evident. | Postoperative findings related to Chiari decompression again seen. Compared to 2/11/2016, there is no significant change in the appearance of the posterior fossa including retroflexed dens with associated narrowing of the anterior column of CSF flow as well as tenting of cerebellar tissue towards the overlying dura posteriorly, which may represent an adhesion.

Generate impression based on medical findings. | 71 years Male (DOB: 5/7/1945)Reason: spontaneous muscle movement History: muscle twitchingPROVIDER NAME: RIMAS V. LUKAS RIMAS V. LUKAS MRI brain:The CSF spaces are appropriate for the patient's stated age with no midline shift. No abnormal mass lesions are appreciated intracranially. No intracranial hemorrhage is identified. No edema is identified within the brain parenchyma.There is a mild degree of periventricular and subcortical punctate hyperintense white matter lesions present identified on the FLAIR and T2 images.Normal vascular flow voids are present in the distal carotid and vertebral arteries, the basilar artery and the proximal anterior, middle and posterior cerebral arteries as well as the internal cerebral veins and superior sagittal sinus.The visualized portions of the paranasal sinuses demonstrate some mild mucosal thickening.. The visualized portions of the mastoid air cells are clear. The visualized portions of the orbits are intact.MRI cervical spine:Examination is degraded by patient motion. This obscures adequate visualization of the neural foramina and spinal canal.The cervical vertebral bodies are appropriate in overall alignment and height. The cervical spinal cord has normal signal characteristics and overall morphology. No abnormal enhancing lesions are identified in the cervical spine.At C2-3 there is no significant compromise to the spinal canal. The left neural foramen appears to be narrowed. There appears to be facet hypertrophy in the left side at this level and left uncovertebral osteophyte formation and to a lesser degree right uncovertebral osteophyte formation..At C3-4 there is loss of disc space height, disc desiccation and diffuse disc bulge. There are endplate uncovertebral osteophytes present at this level. There are some effacement of spinal fluid ventral and posterior the spinal cord at this level. Overall there is mild to moderate spinal stenosis. There is narrowing of the neural foramina bilaterally at this level. There appears be facet hypertrophy at this level.At C4-5 there is loss of disc space height, desiccation, disc bulge and endplate and uncovertebral osteophytes with some partial effacement of spinal fluid ventral but not posterior the spinal cord. There is facet hypertrophy and narrowing of the neural foramina bilaterally at this level with suspected encroachment of exiting nerve roots.At C5-6 there is loss of disc space height, disc desiccation and a mild disc bulge associated with endplate and uncovertebral osteophytes. Some degree of narrowing of the neural foramina is present. There is mild narrowing of the spinal canal at this level.At C6-7 there is loss of disc space height, disc desiccation and a mild disc bulge associated with endplate and uncovertebral osteophytes. Some degree of narrowing of the neural foramina is present. There is mild narrowing of the spinal canal at this level.At C7-T1 there is loss of disc space height, disc desiccation and a mild disc bulge associated with endplate and uncovertebral osteophytes. Some degree of narrowing of the neural foramina is present.The vertebral artery flow voids appear to be intact. | 1.Examination of the cervical spine is degraded to patient motion artifact which will obscure more subtle abnormalities. There are multilevel degenerative changes present in the cervical spine with findings suspicious for neural foraminal encroachment at multiple levels and findings suspicious for mild to moderate spinal stenosis at the C3-4 level.2.Periventricular and subcortical white matter lesions of a mild degree are nonspecific. At this age they are most likely vascular related. 3.Examination of the brain is also degraded due to patient motion which may also obscure more subtle abnormalities. |

Generate impression based on medical findings. | 19 years, Male, examination post tumor resection. History of ganglioglioma. Interval postsurgical changes of resection of recurrent tumor in the posterior fossa are seen. There is restricted diffusion involving the left cerebellar hemisphere along the posterior margin of the resection cavity related to blood products and/or cytotoxic edema. There is T1 shortening and susceptibility in the right paramedian region dorsal to the fourth ventricle related to blood products. There is no definite evidence of residual enhancing tumor. Expected postsurgical changes include small amount of pneumocephalus as well as extra-axial blood products in the posterior fossa. Air as well as blood products within the ventricular system are also noted. There is slight decrease in size of the ventricular system when compared to 1/12/2016.No midline shift or herniation. Again seen is a prominent CSF space/arachnoid cyst involving the right aspect of the pineal cistern with blood products indicative of communication with the ventricular system. Pronounced volume loss and areas of gliosis involving the right cerebellar hemisphere and right middle cerebellar peduncle related to prior treatment changes again noted. Major flow-voids are preserved. | Interval postsurgical changes related to resection of recurrent posterior fossa tumor as described above. No definite evidence of residual tumor is appreciated although blood products in the surgical bed limit evaluation for small residual lesions.

Generate impression based on medical findings. | History of renal carcinoma and vertebral compression fractures. Thoracic spine: The expansile, lobulated metastatic lesion involving the left side of the T3 vertebra is overall slightly smaller, with almost complete resolution of the mass-effect on the thecal sac. In the axial plane, the mass along with its left paraspinal component measures 5.7 cm x 5.4 cm compared to 6.7 cm x 6.0 cm, previously. Obliteration of the left T2-T3 and T3-T4 neural foramina persists. The T7-L3 posterior fixation hardware, which is composed of bilateral transpedicular screws at T7, T8, T11, T12, L2 and L3 and dual posterior rods remain grossly unchanged. The metastatic, expansile lesion involving T9 and the smaller T10 vertebral body lesion are also improved with almost complete resolution of the mass-effect on the thecal sac at T9. The mild right T9 vertebral body compression fracture is unchanged or minimally increased. Vertebral body heights across the fused segment also remain preserved. The thoracic spinal cord shows normal signal and shape.Lumbar spine: There is an expandible cage in the right corpectomy defect at L1. Epidural extension of tumor at this level has virtually resolved. There is no significant change in a subcentimeter enhancing lesion in the inferior L5 vertebral body. There is no significant spinal canal stenosis at any of the lumbar spine levels. The L2 through L5 vertebral body heights are preserved. The metastatic, expansile lesions involving the right sacral ala are slightly smaller with less impingement on the epidural fat and nerve sleeves of the right first and second sacral nerves. Another lesion involving the left iliac crest is better defined and perhaps slightly larger and now contains foci of central T2-hyperintensity and peripheral T2-hypointensity. There are changes of previous left nephrectomy. The right adrenal mass is not completely imaged, while the left adrenal mass is not significantly changed in size, but shows central T2-hyperintensity, which may reflect necrosis. | 1.The expansile metastatic lesions at T3 and T9 are overall smaller with almost complete resolution of the mass-effect on thecal sac. Also, the smaller T10 vertebral body lesion has regressed since January 2016. Mild right sided T9 vertebral body compression fracture is unchanged or minimally increased.2.The minimally expanded metastatic lesion at L1 vertebral body is slightly improved, with no significant impingement upon the lumbar spinal canal.3.A metastatic lesion involving the right sacral ala is also slightly smaller, with less impingement on the sacral neural foramina, while the left iliac crest metastatic lesion appears to be slightly larger, but may also feature treatment effects. 4.The left adrenal mass now demonstrates necrosis, while the right adrenal lesion is not completely imaged. |
