Imaging in gestational trophoblastic disease
Publication date: Available online 5 March 2019Source: Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRIAuthor(s): Lawrence Hsu Lin, Rodrigo Polizio, Koji Fushida, Rossana Pulcineli Vieira FranciscoAbstractGestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is a spectrum of disorders characterized by abnormal trophoblastic proliferation. GTD includes benign conditions such as hydatidiform moles and malignant diseases that are referred as gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN). Ultrasound plays a central role in the diagnosis of patients with hydatidiform mole. Other imaging modalities are useful in molar pregnancy, mainly for evaluating pulmonary...

The mesenteric organ: new anatomical concepts and an imaging-based review on its diseases
Publication date: Available online 28 February 2019Source: Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRIAuthor(s): Hanna R.F. Dalla Pria, Ulysses S. Torres, Fernanda Velloni, Rafael A. Santiago, Marina S. Zacarias, Luis F.D. Silva, Fernando Tamamoto, Dara Walsh, Augusto C. von Atzingen, John C. Coffey, Giuseppe D'IppolitoAbstractThe proposal of reclassifying the mesentery as an organ prompts clinicians and radiologists to reappraise their approach to it and to mesenteric diseases (mesenteropathies). Recent updates in mesenteric anatomy and the better comprehension of its structure constitute a basis to push forward the process of dis...

Chew on This: Emergency Imaging of the Oral Cavity and Salivary Glands—What the Clinician Really Needs to Know
Publication date: Available online 27 November 2018Source: Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRIAuthor(s): Dean T. Jeffery, Caroline C. Jeffery, Hillary R. KellyNontraumatic emergencies of the oral cavity, sublingual and submandibular spaces, and salivary glands are common and those requiring imaging will most often be infectious in nature.1, 2 However, noninfectious pathologies such as sialolithiasis, autoimmune sialoadenitis, and soft tissue swelling due to angioedema or hemorrhage are also important conditions that radiologists must be familiar with in order to inform the clinician of critical imaging findings that can hav...

Pulmonary Sarcoidosis: A Pictorial Review
Publication date: Available online 4 January 2019Source: Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRIAuthor(s): Arya M. Iranmanesh, Lacey WashingtonAbstractSarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous process that most commonly involves the lungs. Radiographic findings consistent with sarcoidosis are important to the diagnosis of this disease, as no specific diagnostic test for sarcoidosis exists. The classic imaging manifestations of sarcoidosis are related to granulomatous involvement along the lymphatic pathways within the lungs, granulomatous involvement of lymph nodes, and fibrosis at the sites of previous inflammation. These fin...

Approach to Peribronchovascular Disease on CT
Publication date: Available online 20 December 2018Source: Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRIAuthor(s): Jane P. Ko, Francis Girvin, William Moore, David NaidichAbstractDiseases that are predominantly peribronchovascular in distribution on computed tomography (CT) by definition involve the bronchi, adjacent vasculature, and associated lymphatics involving the central or axial lung interstitium. An understanding of diseases that can present with focal peribronchovascular findings is useful for establishing diagnoses and guiding patient management. This review will cover clinical and imaging features that may assist in differ...

Pharyngeal Emergencies
Publication date: Available online 28 October 2018Source: Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRIAuthor(s): Moaz M. Choudhary, Rashmi S. Thakkar, Ann K. JayPharyngeal emergencies, which can be subdivided into traumatic versus nontraumatic, are a common cause of Emergency Department visits. Patients often present to Emergency Department with a wide variety of pharyngeal symptoms, for which computed tomography imaging has become the first line imaging modality. Familiarity with these conditions enables a radiologist to make a prompt diagnosis, assess the extent of disease, and evaluate for potential complications.In this chapter,...

Smoking-related Lung Disease
Publication date: Available online 30 November 2018Source: Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRIAuthor(s): Brett M. Elicker, Kimberly G. Kallianos, Kirk D. Jones, Travis S. HenryAbstractSmoke from cigarettes and other sources may induce a variety of patterns of lung injury. While smoking related lung diseases, in general, have a better prognosis than many other diffuse lung diseases, they may be a cause of significant symptoms and, in some cases, may even require lung transplantation. On histology the manifestations of these patterns range from reversible inflammation to irreversible emphysema or fibrosis. High-resolution che...

CT signs in the lungs
Publication date: Available online 30 November 2018Source: Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRIAuthor(s): Girish S. Shroff, Edith M. Marom, Myrna C.B. Godoy, Mylene T. Truong, Caroline ChilesAbstractRadiologic signs are often based on items or patterns that are encountered in everyday life. They are especially useful because their observation allows the differential diagnosis to be narrowed, and in some cases, enables a diagnosis to be made. In this review, several classic and newer CT signs in the lungs are discussed. (Source: Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI)
