Ultrasonographic Findings in a Large Series of Patients with Knee Pain
Conclusions: MSKUS has the potential for revealing huge spectrum of abnormalities. In nearly 90% of the positive studies, degenerative/mechanical abnormalities were reported, with MMT, BC, and osteoarthritic changes being the most common. (Source: Journal of Clinical Imaging Science)

Importance of Presurgical Breast MRI in Patients 60 Years of Age and Older
Conclusions: Among the patients aged 60 years and above who had presurgical bilateral breast MRI, we found additional cancers in 9.0% (n = 114/1268) and atypia in 2.4% (n = 31/1268). A change in management as a result of the MRI-detected lesion occurred in 8.8% (n = 111/1268). These results demonstrate that performing presurgical bilateral breast MRI is of value in women 60 years of age and above. (Source: Journal of Clinical Imaging Science)

A Rare Case of Primary Malignant Pericardial Mesothelioma
Rajoo Ramachandran, Prabhu Radhan, Roy Santosham, Swaminathan RajendiranJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2014 4(1):47-47Primary malignant pericardial mesothelioma (PMPM) is a rare tumor of the pericardium. The cause of this tumor is unknown and it has a very poor prognosis. Exposure to asbestos is correlated with the onset of pleural and peritoneal mesothelioma; however, the role of asbestos in pericardial mesothelioma is unclear. Here we highlight the radiological features of this rare tumor and its correlative pathological confirmation with the help of new immunohistochemical (IHC) markers.

Revisiting Ectopic Pregnancy: A Pictorial Essay
Artemis Petrides, Cheryl Dinglas, Martin Chavez, Sharon Taylor, Sabrina MahboobJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2014 4(1):37-37Ectopic pregnancies occur in approximately 1.4% of all pregnancies and account for 15% of pregnancy-related deaths. Considering the high degree of mortality, recognizing an ectopic pregnancy is important. Signs and symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy are nonspecific and include pain, vaginal bleeding, and an adnexal mass. Therefore, imaging can play a critical role in diagnosis. There are different types of ectopic pregnancies, which are tubal, cornual, cesarean scar, cervical, hetero...

Implications of Ambient Glucose Variation on the Target-to-Background Ratio of Hepatic Tumors By 18 FDG-PET Imaging
Conclusion: The tumor FDG uptake is much more sensitive to ambient glucose level variation than the background liver. Therefore, correction by the glucose sensitivity factor will result in more accurate SUV measurements and make semi-quantitative analysis of 18 FDG PET scans more reliable.

Imaging of Dual Ophthalmic Arteries: Identification of the Central Retinal Artery
Louise Louw, Johan Steyl, Eugene LoggenbergJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2014 4(1):40-40Identification of the origin of the central retinal artery (CRA) is imperative in tailoring angiographic studies to resolve a given clinical problem. A case with dual ophthalmic arteries (OAs), characterized by different origins and distinct branching patterns, is documented for training purposes. Pre-clinical diagnosis of a 9-year-old child who presented with a sharp wire in the left-side eyeball was primarily corneal laceration. For imaging, a selected six-vessel angiographic study with the transfemoral approach was performed. E...

Severe Aortic Coarctation in an Adult Patient with Normal Brachial Blood Pressure
Tina H Leetmaa, Bjarne L Nørgaard, Henning Mølgaard, Jesper M JensenJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2014 4(1):41-41The present case shows that a normal brachial blood pressure (BP) does not exclude severe coarctation and should be considered in normotensive patients presenting with a systolic murmur and/or unexplained severe left ventricular hypertrophy. Congenital coarctation of the aorta is a narrowing of the descending aorta, usually located distal to the origin of the subclavian artery, causing hypertension in the upper part of the body. This condition may be undiagnosed until adult life...

Juxtaglomerular Cell Tumor: A Distinct Mesenchymal Tumor of Kidney
Hafsa Elouazzani, Ahmed Jahid, Zakiya Bernoussi, Najat MahassiniJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2014 4(1):33-33Juxtaglomerular cell tumor (JGCT) is an unusual mesenchymal entity of the kidney. It is a benign renin-secreting tumor causing hypertension and hypokalemia due to secondary hyperaldosteronism. It is curable if it is discovered early and surgically removed, but may cause a fatal outcome usually due to complications of associated hypertension. (Source: Journal of Clinical Imaging Science)

Malignant Pleural and Peritoneal Mesothelioma Consequential to Brief Indirect Asbestos Exposure
This report highlights that pleural and peritoneal mesothelioma can occur without direct asbestos exposure as was seen in our young patient. The patient had indirect exposure for as short as 3 months as a child, 15 years earlier, when she was residing with her miner father in the district of Jharia, Jharkhand, which is an asbestos-rich mining area in eastern India. The patient presented with chest pain and breathlessness. Chest X-ray showed opaque right hemithorax. Typical contrast- computed tomography (CECT) enhanced radiological features included nodular, soft-tissue attenuation and homogenously enhancing rind-like mass ...

Imaging Spectrum of Hemangioma and Vascular Malformations of the Head and Neck in Children and Adolescents
Venkatraman Bhat, Paul C Salins, Varun BhatJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2014 4(1):31-31Vascular lesions of the head and neck region in children constitute an interesting group of lesions that benefit immensely from imaging techniques. Imaging is essential for identification, characterization, and delineation of the extent of lesion and subsequent follow-up. Infantile hemangiomas, which are vascular tumors with a specific evolution pattern, constitute a large majority of these lesions. On the other hand, there are vascular malformations, which are anomalies of the vascular system, consisting of a range of vascular ti...
