A rare case of epidermoid cyst in urinary bladder
Sirisha N Puppala, Ajit Mahale, Sonali UllalIndian Journal of Radiology and Imaging 2019 29(3):324-326 Epidermoid cyst in urinary bladder is a rare pathology with only one known case published prior to this study. In this article, we described imaging findings of epidermoid cyst in the urinary bladder and other parts of urogenital system. Plain CT KUB was performed on Multidetector 16 slice computed tomography scanner-GE Bright speed Elite and plain magnetic resonance imaging on 1.5 T Siemens Magnetom Avanto.

Left atrial isomerism associated with aneurysmal enlargement of right atrial appendage: A case report with literature review
We present a prenatally diagnosed case of heterotaxy syndrome (HS) in which left atrial isomerism (LAI) was associated with an aneurysmal enlargement of the right atrial appendage (RAA). Although LAI is usually associated with complex cardiac and extracardiac anomalies, the association of LAI and right atrial appendage aneurysm (RAAA) is exceptional. Congenital RAAA itself is an idiopathic, very rare cardiac anomaly characterized by the enlargement of the appendage in the absence of any other cardiac or extra-cardiac defect. The prognosis of the heterotaxy is poor with associated major cardiac malformations and even cases ...

A rare case of bleeding duodenal varices from superior mesenteric vein obstruction -treated with transhepatic recanalization and stent placement
Ambarish P Bhat, Ryan M Davis, William D BryanIndian Journal of Radiology and Imaging 2019 29(3):313-317 Ectopic varices are complex and highly variable entities that are not fully understood. Duodenal varices from pancreatitis have rarely been reported. Ectopic varices have much higher bleeding rates than the more common gastro-esophageal varices, and are associated with higher mortality. The ideal management of this difficult problem is not only to ensure prompt hemostasis, but also address the etiology or hemodynamics of the ectopic varices. We discuss the endovascular management of bleeding duodenal varices, which dev...

Bilio-cutaneous fistula obliteration with NBCA
We present the case of a male patient who underwent right hepatectomy with bilio-digestive anastomosis for a cholangiocarcinoma which developed a bilo-cutaneous fistula through the path of a previously inserted percutaneous transhepatic drainage. Sealing of bilo-cutaneous fistula was obtained using N-butil-Cyanoacrylate. This technique has already been reported in some papers as a useful tool for biliary tree obliteration; however, to our knowledge, no cases describing the use of glue to seal a sub-cutaneous route are available in literature.

Artifacts in cranial MRI caused by extracranial foreign bodies and analysis of these foreign bodies
Conclusions: Artifacts caused by extracranial FBs containing metal/metal oxide components are directly associated with their chemical composition and the artifact size are also related to element composition and magnetic susceptibility. (Source: Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging)

Applications of dual energy CT in clinical practice: A pictorial essay
Parang S Sanghavi, Bhavin G JankhariaIndian Journal of Radiology and Imaging 2019 29(3):289-298 In dual-energy CT (DECT), two different x-ray spectra are used to acquire two image datasets of the same region, to allow the analysis of energy-dependent changes in the attenuation of different materials. Each type of material demonstrates a relatively specific change in attenuation between images obtained with a high-energy spectrum and those obtained with a low-energy spectrum. Based on the relatively specific change in attenuation with two different energies, material composition information can be obtained to allow tissue ...

Role of MRI in staging and surgical planning and its clinicopathological correlation in patients with renal cell carcinoma
Conclusion: MRI staging of RCC is an accurate predictor of the surgical and pathological stage and has the potential to become a useful tool for preoperative identification of patients with RCC who can undergo NSS. (Source: Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging)

Solid variant ABC of long tubular bones: A diagnostic conundrum for the radiologist
We describe the distinctive MRI features of sABC of long bones from a series of four cases and briefly review the literature. We hope this review will educate all radiologists about this rare entity increasing their diagnostic confidence while formulating differentials for similar appearing lesions.

MR neurography in Parsonage-Turner syndrome
Conclusion: Most of the patients in this study had unilateral involvement on MRN. The roots were the commonest site of involvement followed by the trunks, cords and terminal branches. C5 was the most commonly involved root. (Source: Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging)

Current review with evolving management strategies in critical limb ischemia
Arun SharmaIndian Journal of Radiology and Imaging 2019 29(3):258-263 Critical limb ischemia represents the end stage of peripheral artery disease, which is associated with impaired quality of life and considerable morbidity and mortality. Economical impact of the disease is huge with a substantial burden on patients, healthcare providers, and resources. Varied therapeutic strategies have been employed in the management of these patients. These patients usually have complex multilevel occlusive arteriopathy with significant comorbidities, rendering surgical interventions undesirable in many cases. Recent therapeutic advan...

Computed tomography guided radio-frequency ablation of osteoid osteomas in atypical locations
Conclusion: RFA has been proven to be an effective and safe option for treatment of OOs in the common locations. It is generally recommended to have a 1 cm safety margin between the RF probe and any critical structures in the vicinity. However, with OOs in atypical locations this may not be always possible and hence additional techniques may be needed to ensure protection of the surrounding sensitive structures and also allow for effective ablation.

Imaging protocols for CT chest: A recommendation
Ashu Seith Bhalla, Abanti Das, Priyanka Naranje, Aparna Irodi, Vimal Raj, Ankur GoyalIndian Journal of Radiology and Imaging 2019 29(3):236-246 Computed Tomography (CT) is the mainstay of diagnostic imaging evaluation of thoracic disorders. However, there are a number of CT protocols ranging from a simple non-contrast CT at one end of the spectrum, and CT perfusion as a complex protocol available only on high-end scanners.With the growing diversity, there is a pressing need for radiologists, and clinicians to have a basic understanding of the recommended CT examinations for individual indications. This brief review aims t...
