Stroke Mimics: The Quest for Leptomeningeal Anastomoses and Isolated Diffusion-Weigthed Mr Signal
Publication date: Available online 6 June 2018Source: Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRIAuthor(s): Humberto Morales, Marshall KongAbstractStroke is caused by occlusion of a medium or large sized vessel in the brain. The treatment with either IV or IA thrombolysis is based on an accurate and time-sensitive diagnosis. On clinical and imaging grounds a number of entities – seizures, toxic-metabolic, infectious or demyelinating diseases - can mimic stroke. Identifying them is paramount as the treatment differs significantly. Prior imaging reviews have focused on the non-territorial distribution of these mimics. However, some...

Point-of-Care Ultrasound in Trauma
Publication date: Available online 29 March 2018 Source:Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI Author(s): Timothy Gleeson, David Blehar The use of point-of-care ultrasound in trauma is widespread. Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma examination is a prototypical bedside examination used by the treating provider to quickly determine need for intervention and appropriate patient disposition. The role of bedside ultrasound in trauma, however, has expanded beyond the Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma examination. Advancements in diagnostics include contrast-enhanced ultrasound, thoracic, and musculoskelet...

Imaging of Spine Fractures With Emphasis on the Craniocervical Junction
Publication date: Available online 16 April 2018 Source:Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI Author(s): Gabriela Santos-Nunez, Hao S. Lo, Hemang Kotecha, Joe Jose, Aly Abayazeed Spinal cord injury often times is a catastrophic result of trauma. Delay in diagnosis may result in increased morbidity and mortality. Cross-sectional imaging is now increasingly used as a first-line diagnostic modality in the setting of trauma for recognition of spine fractures and ligamentous injuries that might be missed on routine radiographs. The learning objectives of this article are to review the anatomy of the spine and understand the...

Soft Tissue Injuries of the Finger and Thumb
Publication date: Available online 16 April 2018 Source:Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI Author(s): Juliann Giese, Christopher Cerniglia Soft tissue digital injury of the hand is a common presenting complaint in the emergency setting. Although initial work-up requires physical examination and radiographs, many of these entities may be radiographically occult and solely appreciated on ultrasound (US) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). If undiagnosed, these conditions may lead to sequela of untreated disease including early osteoarthritis, pain, permanent deformity, and immobility. Soft tissue finger injuries that ma...

Point of Care Ultrasound in Trauma
Publication date: Available online 29 March 2018 Source:Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI Author(s): Timothy Gleeson, David Blehar The use of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) in trauma is widespread. Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) exam is a prototypical bedside exam used by the treating provider to quickly determine need for intervention and appropriate patient disposition. The role of bedside ultrasound in trauma, however, has expanded beyond the FAST exam. Advancements in diagnostics include contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), thoracic, and musculoskeletal applications. Ultrasound is also an i...

Imaging and Management of Thoracic Trauma
Publication date: Available online 26 March 2018 Source:Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI Author(s): Alex Newbury, Jon D. Dorfman, Hao S. Lo Thoracic injury results from penetrating and blunt trauma and is a major contributor to overall trauma morbidity and mortality in the United States. Modern imaging algorithms utilize ultrasound, CXR, and CT with intravenous contrast to accurately diagnose and effectively treat patients with acute thoracic trauma. This review focuses on the etiologies, signs and symptoms, imaging, and management of several life-threatening thoracic injuries including tracheobronchial rupture, pul...

Multidetector CT Imaging of Bowel and Mesenteric Injury: Review of Key Signs
Publication date: Available online 23 March 2018 Source:Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI Author(s): Andrew E. Bennett, Robin B. Levenson, Jon D. Dorfman In contemporary practice, multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) plays a critical role in the diagnostic evaluation of patients with suspected acute mesenteric and bowel trauma. Although less common than solid organ injuries, it may be seen in up to 5% of blunt trauma patients. Evaluation with CT remains challenging even with improvements in technology. The major imaging signs of mesenteric and bowel trauma and what is known about their applicability in clinical p...

Pediatric Elbow Injuries
This article seeks to improve diagnostic accuracy of these elbow injuries by reviewing the secondary ossification centers in the elbow in the pediatric population, followed by a discussion of commonly encountered acute and chronic fractures and dislocations. While many elbow injuries are diagnosed with radiographs, there are situations where imaging with computed tomography (CT), ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are essential in the diagnosis of these injuries.

Postoperative Imaging and Complications in Resection of Lung Cancer
Publication date: Available online 1 March 2018 Source:Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI Author(s): Patricia M. de Groot, Mylene T. Truong, Myrna C.B. Godoy Surgical resection offers the best hope of cure for patients with operable early-stage lung cancer. Wedge resection, segmentectomy, lobectomy, or pneumonectomy may be performed depending on the size and location of the tumor. Radiologists must be familiar with the types of surgical resection utilized in the treatment of lung carcinoma and with their normal and abnormal postsurgical appearance on imaging studies. Prompt identification of postoperative complication...
