HISTORY: ___ s/p L laminectomy & fusion with fever, back pain, redness @ incision. Total laminectomy of L2, L3, L4 and L5. Fusion and instrumentation L3-5. Autograft. TECHNIQUE: Multi planar multisequence MR images of the lumbar and thoracic spine were obtained the without the administration of intravenous contrast. Contrast was not administered due to patient request for exam termination, rendering suboptimal evaluation. COMPARISON: MRI L-spine ___. FINDINGS: Patient motion artifact degrades image quality rendering suboptimal evaluation. Within these confines: MR thoracic spine: Review of the osseous structures demonstrates normal vertebral alignment. Bone marrow signal is mildly heterogeneous without focal suspicious signal abnormality. At T8-T9 and T10-T11, there is disc protrusion partially effacing the ventral thecal sac causing mild spinal canal narrowing in conjunction with ligamentum flavum thickening, as well as mild left-greater-than-right neural foraminal narrowing. The remaining intervertebral disc spaces appear to be within normal limits without disk herniation, or significant spinal canal or neural foraminal narrowing. The visualized portion of the spinal cord has normal contours and signal characteristics. MR lumbar spine: Axial images through the lumbar spine were not obtained due to early termination of the examination per patient request. The patient is status post L2-L5 laminectomy with fusion of L3-L5. There is a 9.8 SI x 5.1 AP cm fluid collection within the laminectomy sites causing moderate to severe mass effect upon the thecal sac with anterior displacement and at least moderate compression of the nerve roots. No definite tract is identified to the thecal sac. There is a another 17.8 x 5.2 cm fluid collection within the dorsal subcutaneous tissues posterior to the laminectomy site extending from the level of T12-S2. There appears to be a possible connecting channel between the 2 fluid collections just beneath the L1 spinous process. Edematous changes are noted within the paraspinal soft tissues, which may be postsurgical in nature ; however, superimposed infection cannot exclude. Again noted is grade 1 anterolisthesis of L3 over L4 and L4 over L5 with uncovering of disk space posteriorly. The visualized portion of the lower thoracic cord and conus are within normal limits. The conus is at the level of L1. IMPRESSION: Markedly limited examination secondary to patient motion artifact, patient request for early termination and preclusion of intravenous contrast administration. Status post L2-L5 laminectomy and fusion of L3-L5 with fluid collection within the laminectomy sites causing moderate to severe mass effect upon the thecal sac and compression of nerve roots anteriorly. Second fluid collection within the dorsal subcutaneous tissues posterior to the laminectomy site with a possible connecting channel just beneath L1 spinous process. Findings may be related to postoperative seroma, hematoma, pseudomeningocele, or abscess. Thoracolumbar spondylosis as described above.

HISTORY: Worsening confusion and hand weakness, status post carotid endarterectomy. COMPARISON: MR from ___ and CT from ___. TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar MR images are acquired through the head without intravenous contrast. FINDINGS: Ventricles and sulci are mildly enlarged, reflecting parenchymal volume loss. There are multiple foci of abnormally slow diffusion consistent with infarction. Those that were present on the MR from ___ now appear larger, with a reference focus seen in the splenium of the corpus callosum. In addition however there are multiple new foci of abnormally slow to diffusion. Specifically, this includes a confluent area of abnormal slow diffusion in the left frontal lobe (series 8, image 19) as well as areas in the paramedian parietal lobes bilaterally. A small amount of susceptibility artifact within the confluent area of new slow diffusion in the left frontal lobe (series 5, image 19) suggests the interval appearance of a small amount of blood products. IMPRESSION: Multiple, predominantly left infarctions as above, with interval increase in the size of infarctions seen previously, as well as multiple new foci of infarction, including a right paramedian focus. A small amount of interval susceptibility artifact in the confluent left frontal infarction suggests minimal interval intracranial blood.

HISTORY: ___ female with bacteremia needing PICC for antibiotics. COMPARISON: Multiple prior exams, most recently chest radiograph of ___. OPERATORS: Dr. ___ (attending), Dr. ___ (fellow), Dr. ___ (resident). The attending was present and supervised throughout the procedure. FINDINGS: The procedure was explained to the patient. A time-out was performed per ___ protocol. Using sterile technique and local anesthesia, the patent right basilic vein was punctured under direct ultrasound guidance using a micropuncture set. Ultrasound images were obtained before and immediately after establishing intravenous access. The guidewire was unable to be passed into the right subclavian vein. A brief venogram was performed, which demonstrated non-opacification of the right subclavian vein and multiple moderately developed collaterals along the right chest wall. The guidewire was unable to be passed through the area of occlusion. The patent right brachial vein was then punctured under direct ultrasound guidance and again images were saved on PACS. A subsequent venogram demonstrated similar central occlusion with multiple collaterals. The patent left brachial vein was then punctured under sterile conditions using ultrasound guidance.Ultrasound images were stored before and after obtaining venous access. A needle venogram was performed of the left upper extremity veins, which demonstrated central stenosis of the left basilic vein but patency of the left brachial vein. After discussion with Dr ___, a resident of the primary surgical team, the decision was made to not place left brachial vein PICC given history of left mastectomy with lymph node dissection. No central catheter was placed. A total of approximately 20 cc of IV Optiray contrast was administered during the procedure. IMPRESSION: 1. No central catheter was placed. 2. Right upper extremity venogram demonstrating occlusion of the right subclavian vein, which is new since ___ when a right PICC was in position and likely represents thrombus. 3. Left upper extremity venogram via a 21G needle demonstrates stenosis of the left basilic vein and patency of the left brachial vein. This access would be suitable for central PICC placement if required in the future. Findings were communicated via phone call by Dr. ___ to Dr. ___ ___ on ___ at 18:40.

TECHNIQUE: MDCT-acquired axial images from the lung bases to the pubic symphysis were displayed with 5-mm slice thickness with oral and 130 mL Omnipaque intravenous contrast. Coronal and sagittal relations are displayed with 5-mm slice thickness. CT ABDOMEN: The visualized lung bases demonstrate bibasilar subsegmental atelectasis, slightly increased from ___. There is no pleural or pericardial effusion. The liver is unremarkable. There is no intra- or extra-hepatic bile duct dilation. The gallbladder is normal. A subtle peripheral wedge-shaped hypodensity in the inferior spleen is new compared to ___ and raises concern for a splenic infarction (601b:33). The pancreas enhances homogenously. Again seen are four well-positioned double-J transgastrostomy stents, unchanged in position from ___. There has been interval removal of the nasogastric tube. A fluid collection at the splenic hilum is 2.0 x 1.7 cm, previously 3.0 x 1.9 cm, smaller but with a new focus of air (2:22). No oral contrast is seen within it, but adjacent inflammatory change abuts the stomach and a small fistulous connection cannot be excluded. Just inferior to this, a peripancreatic collection is 3.7 x 1.8 cm, previously 4.8 x 2.2 cm, smaller, with similar tethering of adjacent bowel. A right posterolateral fluid collection has decreased, now measuring 4.1 x 1.3 cm, previously 6.0 x 2.1 cm. There has been interval removal of the drain within it. A hyperdensity within the subcutaneous tract of the drain is noted (2:47, 48). Gastric wall thickening along the lesser curvature is slightly increased compared to ___, nonspecific and may relate to distention. No new peripancreatic fluid collection is identified. The bilateral adrenal glands are normal, although the left adrenal gland abuts some inflammatory change. The kidneys enhance symmetrically and excrete contrast without hydronephrosis. There is no bowel obstruction. The patient is status post colostomy in the left lower quadrant. Diverticula are seen in the large bowel.

Interval decrease in size of peripancreatic fluid collections compared to ___. Superinfection of the collections cannot be excluded. The collection at the splenic hilum contains a new small focus of air. Although there is no oral contrast within it, a fistula to stomach or bowel cannot be excluded. 2. No new peripancreatic fluid collection. Homogenous enhancement of the pancreas. 3. Subtle wedge shaped hypodensity in the inferior spleen raises concern for a new splenic infarct. 4. High density in the subcutaneous tissues of the right posterolateral drain tract. Correlate with physical exam for retained catheter fragment. 5. Destructive appearing right iliac lucency, possibly with cortical breakthrough. Given the history of breast cancer, this is concerning for a metastatic focus.

HISTORY: ___ female with new hypoxia, evaluate for pulmonary embolus. COMPARISON: Portable chest performed ___ and ___. TECHNIQUE: Helical CT images were acquired of the chest before and after the administration of contrast, and reformatted into coronal, sagittal, and oblique planes. FINDINGS: Peribronchovascular ground-glass opacity is most pronounced centrally in the upper lungs, inferior to upper lobe regions with engorged lymphatics. Consolidation at both lung bases is more severe on the left. Trace non-serous bilateral pleural effusions are not accompanied by appreciable pleural enhancement. The airways are patent, but there is mild generalized wall thickening or peribronchial cuffing. There is no airway debris to suggest recent aspiration. The heart is normal in size and configuration. There is no pericardial effusion. The aorta is notable for a two-vessel configuration to the arch and atherosclerotic calcification of the arch. There is no evidence of aortic injury. The pulmonary arteries are well opacified, and patent to the subsegmental level. The mediastinal fat is diffusely infiltrated, with either high attenuation edema or edematous lymphadenopathy, and the esophageal is thickened in a similar fashion. There is no extraluminal gas or fluid collection to suggest esophageal perforation. While this exam is not tailored for the evaluation of infradiaphragmatic structures, no abnormality is seen. IMPRESSION: 1. No PE. 2. Mild pulmonary edema. 3. Upper lobe peribronchovascular airspace filling could be edema or a manifestation of more severe airspace abnormality in the lower lungs, mostly consolidation, partially atelectasis, due to aspiration, multifocal pneumonia, or less likely hemorrhage. In the setting of a recent transfusions, transfusion reaction may be contributory. 4. Esophageal wall thickening, with diffuse infiltration of the mediastinal fat which may reflect inflammatory change or confluent lymphadenopathy, though the progression from normal mediastinal contours on ___ favors a rapidly evolving inflammatory process. There is no finding to suggest esophageal perforation. Findings were discussed with Dr. ___ at 10:30am by phone.

INDICATION: ___ year-old woman with T12 lytic lesion extending to the spinal canal. Assess for the degree of spinal canal stenosis and/or cord compression. The patient is status post intracranial aneurysmal clip, which is incompatible with MRI. PROCEDURE: Lumbar spinal myelography, followed by CT thoracic and lumbar myelography (dictated separately). CLINICIANS: Dr. ___ (attending), Dr. ___ (neuroradiology fellow). ANESTHESIA: Local anesthesia was achieved using 1% lidocaine. PROCEDURAL DETAILS: Prior to the procedure, written informed consent was obtained from the patient's healthcare proxy ___, patient's son), and both the patient and the healthcare proxy showed good understanding of the indications, risks, benefits and alternatives. A pre-procedural timeout was performed upon arrival in the angiography suite, using name, date of birth and medical record number as identifiers. The patient was placed in a prone position on the angiography table and his lower back was prepped and draped in the typical sterile fashion. The skin was anesthetized using 1% lidocaine. The patient had severe multilevel lumbar stenosis, and there were not good window for the placement of the spinal needle from L2-3 to the remainder lower lumbar spine. Thereafter, a 20-gauge spinal needle was advanced into the spinal canal at the L1-2 level, under careful fluoroscopic observation. CSF flow flashback was noted through the spinal needle. 12 cc of Isovue-M 200 iodinated contrast was then carefully hand-injected into the spinal canal. After injection of the contrast, the spinal needle stylet was replaced, and then removed in conjunction with the spinal access needle. The patient was then imaged fluoroscopically, as the contrast bolus disseminated superiorly and inferiorly from the lumbar intrathecal space to the thoracic and upper sacral intrathecal spaces. AP, lateral oblique fluoroscopic spot images were captured and saved. The patient was transferred from the angiography suite to the CT scanner. Overall, there were no complications and the patient tolerated this procedure well. FINDINGS: Spot fluoroscopic images taken in frontal, lateral and oblique projections of the lumbar spine following the instillation of contrast. The old L1 anterior wedge compression fracture is noted. IMPRESSION: Uncomplicated lumbar myelogram, with intrathecal injection of 12 cc of Isovue-M 200 iodinated contrast at L1-2. The patient tolerated the procedure well without immediate complications. Please refer to the separately dictated report of the CT thoracic and lumbar myelogram.

HISTORY: ___ woman, with back pain and lower extremity weakness. Outside CT shows progression of a lytic lesion at T12, with significant encroachment of the spinal canal. Assess for the severity of cord compression. TECHNIQUE: The patient received intrathecal iodinated contrast via a fluoroscopic-guided L1-2 level injection in the angiographic suite. The patient was subsequently transferred to the CT scanner. MDCT images were acquired through the thoracic and lumbar spine without IV administration of contrast. Multiplanar reformatted images were obtained for evaluation. COMPARISON: Outside CT lumbar spine on ___. CT abdomen and pelvis on ___. FINDINGS: CT THORACIC SPINE: At T12, there is a large lytic lesion predominantly involving the right aspect of the vertebral body, with significant bony destruction extending to the right pedicle. The left pedicle and bilateral lamina appear intact. There is extensive posterior soft tissue extension into the bony spinal canal, compressing and displacing the spinal cord to the left. At T12, the deformed spinal cord measures 7 mm TV x 3 mm AP, compared to 9 mm x 8 mm at the upper L1 level, and 7 mm x 6 mm at the T11 level. A thin rim of intrathecal contrast remains at the most severely stenotic point at T12. There is severe right T12-L1 neural foraminal narrowing, but no significant left T12-L1 neural foraminal narrowing. Despite the severe spinal canal stenosis at T12, intrathecal contrast has reached the upper thoracic spinal canal up to the cervicothoracic junction. At the remaining levels of the thoracic spine, there are multilevel small-to-moderate disc bulges, most significantly affecting T8-9, T9-10, T10-11 levels with mild indentation the anterior thecal sac and in contact with the anterior spinal cord, but without significant cord deformity. There is no evidence of acute thoracic spinal alignment. CT LUMBAR SPINE: There is intrathecal contrast throughout the lumbar spinal canal, with the contrast reaching the sacral spinal canal. There is an old L1 anterior wedge deformity, with approximately 40% of vertebral height loss, unchanged from the prior CT abdomen pelvis study on ___. There is no evidence of acute vertebral height loss in the lumbar spine. Small fat-containing foci are again noted scattered in the vertebral bodies, with the most prominent one at the lower L1 vertebral body, unchanged from the CT abdomen and pelvis, and likely representing focal fat depositions. No acute lumbar malalignment is noted. The conus medullaris terminates at L1-2. At L1-2, there is a diffuse disc bulge with extension into neural foramina, resulting in mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing but no significant spinal canal stenosis. At L2-3, there is a diffuse disc bulge with extension into neural foramina. In combination with ligamentum flavum thickening and bilateral facet arthropathy, there is moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing, mild-to-moderate bilateral subarticular zone narrowing, and mild spinal canal narrowing. At L3-4, there is a diffuse disc bulge with extension into neural foramina. In combination with ligamentum flavum thickening and facet arthropathy, there is moderate spinal canal stenosis and mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. At L4-5, there is a diffuse disc bulge with ligamentum flavum thickening and facet arthropathy, resulting in moderate spinal canal stenosis and mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. At L5-S1, there is a small disc protrusion, but no significant spinal canal or neural foraminal narrowing. Significant atherosclerotic disease is noted at the distending aorta and its major branches. The patient is status post a VP shunt with the tip terminating in the intra-abdominal cavity. IMPRESSION: 1. Large expansile lytic lesion at the right aspect of the T12 vertebral body and extending the right pedicle. Significant soft tissue extension into the right-sided spinal canal, resulting in severe spinal canal stenosis, compression and deformity of the T12 spinal cord.

HISTORY: Multiple myeloma status post T12 corpectomy and T10-L2 fusion now with increasing pain and hematocrit drop. TECHNIQUE: Sagittal imaging was performed with T2, T1, and T2 weighted ideal technique. Axial T1 and T2 weighted imaging was performed through select levels. Ten cc of Gadavist intravenous contrast were administered. Sagittal and post contrast T1 weighted imaging also was performed. COMPARISON: No prior MR examinations are available for comparison. Comparison to a myelogram and CT myelogram ___. FINDINGS: Again seen is distortion of the thecal sac with leftward displacement of the sac at the T12 level. The patient is now status post laminectomy with posterior fusion from T10-L2, and interbody fusion after corpectomy T11-L1. The material posterior and right lateral to the thecal sac appears to be a fluid collection. There is no enhancement of the substance of this material after contrast administration. There is no enhancement of the periphery. Alignment of the spine appears normal. There is markedly heterogeneous signal intensity of the vertebral bodies at every level of spine. This may reflect diffuse involvement by myeloma. There are no findings to suggest neoplastic encroachment on the spinal canal. There are changes of degenerative disc disease in the cervical and lumbar spines that encroach on the spinal canal and thecal sac. In the cervical spine, this is most prominent at C5-6 where intervertebral osteophytes slightly flattening the anterior surface of the spinal cord. In the lumbar spine bulging of the intervertebral disc, thickening of the ligamentum flavum, and facet osteophytes produce moderate to severe spinal stenosis at L3-4 and L4-5. Disc bulging into the neural foramina also produces bilateral foraminal narrowing at both levels. Mild bulging of the L5-S1 intervertebral disc does not encroach on the thecal sac. There is mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. IMPRESSION: Status post T12 corpectomy and T10-L2 fusion. Posterior and right-sided intraspinal fluid collection communicates through the laminectomy defect and causes anterior and left lateral displacement of the thecal sac. This leads to severe encroachment on the distal spinal cord. There are no findings to suggest tumor in this location. The signal intensity characteristics are typical of simple fluid, rather than hemorrhage. These findings were discussed by telephone by Dr. ___ with Dr. ___ at 9:30 am, ___.
