Biliary Anastomotic Leakage following Orthotopic Liver Transplant: The Use of Primovist (Gadoxetate Disodium) as an Intravenous MR Cholangiography Contrast Agent for Biliary Leakage
We present a case of postoperative biliary anastomotic leakage demonstrated on intravenous contrast-enhanced MRI performed with Primovist (Gadoxetate Disodium). Primovist has been widely used for its combined extracellular and hepatocyte-specific properties in the characterization of liver lesions. Another recognized, but less widely utilized property of Primovist is its ability to provide morphologic and functional assessment of the biliary system. In our case, Primovist-enhanced MR imaging demonstrated the presence and location of an active biliary leakage which was associated with free spillage into the peritoneum. (Sou...

Unusual Larva in the CSF and Unique MRI Findings in a Case of Eosinophilic Meningitis
Santosh Rai, Deepak Madi, Shivanand Pai, Shrikala BaligaJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2014 4(1):76-76Eosinophilic meningitis may be caused by non-infectious and infectious agents. Angiostrongylus cantonensis is the commonest causative agent of eosinophilic meningitis. Rats are the primary hosts of this parasite. Humans get infected by ingestion of raw or inadequately cooked hosts (snails or monitor lizard) or food contaminated with the infective third-stage larvae. A 16-year-old boy was admitted to our hospital with history of fever, headache, and altered sensorium. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed uniq...

Two Cases of Thyroid Metastasis from Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Detected by FDG-PET/CT
We present two cases of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) metastasizing to the thyroid gland. This is the first report that shows (18) F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) images of tonsillar and supraglottic SCCs invading the thyroid gland. Alcohol and tobacco use are the two most important risk factors for head and neck cancers, but recently human papilloma virus (HPV) infection has become a significant risk factor in the United States. FDG-PET/CT is very useful for SCC staging/restaging and follow-up. (Source: Journal of Clinical Imaging Science)

Blood Pool Contrast-enhanced Magnetic Resonance Angiography with Correlation to Digital Subtraction Angiography: A Pictorial Review
Martha-Grace Knuttinen, Jillian Karow, Winnie Mar, Margaret Golden, Karen L XieJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2014 4(1):63-63Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) provides noninvasive visualization of the vascular supply of soft tissue masses and vascular pathology, without harmful radiation. This is important for planning an endovascular intervention, and helps to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the treatment. MRA with conventional extracellular contrast agents relies on accurate contrast bolus timing, limiting the imaging window to first-pass arterial phase. The recently introduced blood pool contrast ag...

Dedicated Breast CT: Feasibility for Monitoring Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Treatment
Conclusions: This pilot study suggests that dedicated non-contrast bCT has the potential to serve as an expedient imaging tool for monitoring tumor volume changes during NAC. Larger studies are needed in future. (Source: Journal of Clinical Imaging Science)

Imaging of Unilateral Meningo-ophthalmic Artery Anomaly in a Patient with Bilateral Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma
Louise Louw, Johan Steyl, Eugene LoggenbergJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2014 4(1):65-65A 12-year-old boy with epistaxis presented with a rare midline nasopharyngeal angiofibroma that extended lateral into the pterygoid and infratemporal fossae. Pre-operative angiography revealed bilateral prominent feeder arteries and two major anastomotic connections, and a rare left meningo-ophthalmic artery (M-OA) anomaly that was the sole path of supply to the eye. A literature search using Pubmed and Medline was conducted. For imaging, a six-vessel study (i.e. external and internal carotid and vertebral arteries on both sides) ...

A Rare Case of Aneurysm of Arc of Riolan Artery and Gastroduodenal Artery
Athiyappan Kumaresh, Ramachandran Rajoo, Sellappan Rajamanickam Babu, Subramanian IlanchezhianJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2014 4(1):66-66Arc of Riolan is a collateral channel that connects the proximal superior mesenteric artery (SMA) or its middle colic branch and the proximal inferior mesenteric artery or its left colic branch in case of stenosis of either of the arteries. A 65-year-old diabetic female presented with vague abdominal pain. Ultrasonography showed a large aneurysm within the abdomen in the left lumbar region. Computed tomography (CT) angiography done showed severe diffuse atherosclerotic calcificati...

Management of Bleeding Duodenal Varices with Combined TIPS Decompression and Trans-TIPS Transvenous Obliteration Utilizing 3% Sodium Tetradecyl Sulfate Foam Sclerosis
Conclusion: The combination of TIPS decompression and foam sclerosant transvenous obliteration appears to be effective in preventing rebleeding in this limited case series and compares favorably with the existing evidence for either approach [TIPS or balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO)] alone.

Levoatriocardinal Vein: An Unusual Cause of Right-to-Left Shunting
We present a case demonstrating an anomalous vessel connecting the left brachiocephalic vein and the left superior pulmonary vein, found incidentally on computed tomography (CT) imaging. This pulmonary-systemic venous connection, known as a levoatriocardinal vein, is a rare anomaly. In previous descriptions, this vessel has typically been associated with left-to-right shunt. Here, we describe the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and CT findings in a case with right-to-left shunting through the anomalous vessel likely secondary to elevated right cardiac pressure.

Management of Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of the Palate Utilizing 18 F-FDG PET/CT
Sankaran Sudhakar, Raga Geethika Velugubantla, Swathi Erva, Sai kiran ChennojuJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2014 4(2):5-5Salivary gland carcinomas are a clinically diverse group of neoplasms with histological patterns overlapping other tumors, thus complicating their diagnosis. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC), first described by Masson and Berger in 1924, is a well-recognized salivary gland neoplasm, accounting for 5-10% of all salivary gland tumors. MEC frequently involves the major salivary glands and is rarely seen involving the jaws. The biological behavior of MEC is usually more aggressive with higher noda...

Aneurysmal Bone Cyst of the Calcaneus
Veysel Kaplanoglu, Deniz Sozmen Ciliz, Hatice Kaplanoglu, Eda ElvericiJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2014 4(1):60-60Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are benign, non-neoplastic, expansile, vascular, locally destructive lesions. The lesion may arise de novo (65%) or secondarily (35%) in pre-existing benign or malignant lesions (giant cell tumor, osteoblastoma, chondroblastoma, angioma, and others). The calcaneus is a rare localization for ABC, comprising only 1.6% of the cases. In this paper, we present a case of a female patient with a 3-month history of heel pain that got worse and was accompanied by ...

Lesions of the Seminal Vesicles and their MRI Characteristics
This article aims to review the imaging characteristics of common and uncommon, but consequential lesions involving the seminal vesicles (SV), as seen predominantly on MRI. Many of these findings are seen incidentally during imaging of the prostate. Anatomy and embryology of the SV will be described which will help illustrate the associations of abnormalities seen. Congenital, infectious, neoplastic, and tumor mimics will be explored in detail, with discussion on clinical presentation and treatment strategies. (Source: Journal of Clinical Imaging Science)
