Hypoxic, Toxic, and Acquired Metabolic Encephalopathies at the Emergency Room: The Role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Publication date: Available online 12 March 2018 Source:Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI Author(s): Marcos Vieira Godinho, Cíntia Elias Pires, Luiz Celso Hygino da Cruz Our purpose is to describe typical computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings in encephalopathies in the emergency. The focus of this article are the most frequent toxic and acquired metabolic diseases and their preferential sites of involvement, such as hepatic encephalopathy, hypoglicemia, nonketotic hyperglycemia, osmotic demyelination, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, uremia, illegal drug abuse, carbon monoxide pois...

Pediatric Emergencies: Imaging of Pediatric Head Trauma
Publication date: Available online 31 January 2018 Source:Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI Author(s): William T. O’Brien, Marguerite M. Caré, James L. Leach Pediatric head trauma is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children and may be seen in the setting of accidental or abusive injuries. Although many of the patterns of head injury are similar to adults, the imaging manifestations of head injury in children are more complex due to the developing brain and calvarium. Additionally, there are unique considerations for mechanisms of injury in children, to include abusive head trauma and birth-related...

Abdominal Wall Masses: CT Findings and Clues to Differential Diagnosis
Publication date: Available online 31 January 2018 Source:Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI Author(s): Gabriela Gayer, Christian Park The abdominal wall does not comprise a distinct organ, and is often cursorily evaluated on CT. However, it is affected by many different pathological processes. These may be categorized according to their underlying etiology—trauma, infection or inflammation, iatrogenic and neoplastic process—or according to the abdominal wall layer they affect. We chose instead to group these lesions into 6 distinct categories based on their CT characteristic density: solid, infiltrative, hypervasc...
