Noncon iso arterial hyper pv iso, t2 hyper, t1 variable, drop out due to fat

> 5cm resect as bleed and cancer
Dont take up primovist, characteristically sulphur colloid cold (23% prob hot)

15% primary hepatic
65 m>f asians

Psc (UC), oriental cholangitis, caroli, hiv, hepatitis, cirrhosis

High ca199 (panc) and cea (crc)

Bile duct epithelial. Fibrosis is prominent - t2/t1 dark, capsular retraction, late enhancement, ductsl dialtstion

Q

Psc

A

Strong association with UC so seen in 30-40y0 men
Progressive bd inflammation with intra and extrahepatic strictures
Beaded, pruned tree, caudate pseudotumour, risk cholangiocarc9noma

Different ials - aids cholangiopathy - exrrahepatic strictures are >2cm, cd4<100
Igg4 related

Pbc in women 40-50. Vanishing bile ducts. Intrahepatic only. Lace like fibrosis between regenerating nodules in cirrhosis, risk hcc

Q

Tondani

A 
1-extra
2-divertic
3-choledococoele
4-intra and extra
5-caroli disease + fibrosis =syndrome

Caroli is ar. Associated -pckd and msk
Get cirrhosis and cholangiocarcinoma, stones and cholangitis

If see dilated ducts with stones thing recurrent pyogenic cholangitis

Q

Shadowing gb differential

A

Full of stones, porcelain, emphysematous cholecystitis

Air-dirty shadow
Wall echo shado complex - stones

Porcelain risk ca. ?dystrophic vs supersat vs haemorrhage

16
Q

Gb polyp

A

Benign - <5mm, almost always cholesterol polyps with comet tail, multiple pedunculated
Malignant- <1cm, solitary, sessile, flow on doppler or enhance on mri>wall

17
Q

Doppler angle

A

<60deg

18
Q

Stenosis spectral dopple

A

Upstream - increased ri
Stenosis - increased psv, spectral broadening
Downstream, tardis parvus (acceleration time >70ms)

19
Q

Hep vein, portal vein

A

Hep- predominantly anterograde can have retrofrage a wave. Asvd. Increased pulsatility in tcr and rhf, decr in cirrhosis or hep vein obstruction

Pv - normal <13mm, 20-40cms hepatopetal constant flow some undulation
Pulsatile with rhf, tcr, cirrhosis with av shunting
Velocity <15cms in portal htn. Pre - pv thrombosis, hepatic - cirrhosis, post - rhf, tcr, bud chiari

20
Q

Pancreatitis grading and collections

A

Grading balthazar
A. Normal, b. Large c. Inflammation d. 1 collection e. 2+ collections
Ctsi is balthazar + % necrosis

Collections
Acute interstitial pancreatitis (95%) forms acute peripancreatic collections (<4/52) then psudocysts
Necrotising pancreatitis forms acute necrotic collections then walled off necrosis

Complications include splenic vein thrombosis and splenic/GDa pseudoaneurysm
Infection is the killer - look for gas in collections

21
Q

Cystic pancreatic lesions

A

Serous cystadenoma - old women, multiloculated (>6, <2) central scar/calcification, benign, pancreatic head, vhl
Mucinous cystic neoplasm (premalignant) mid age woman, Unilocular <6, >2, peripheral calc. Body and tail
SPEN -young asian woman, solid or mixed, calcification, haemorrhage, tail, capsule

Ipmn- old man, mucin producing, side br typically dont enlarge duct (can), <3cm benign, main branch dilate duct considered malignant. Any enhancing or sold nodules =malignant. In continuity with duct. Main br often has calcs so differential for chronic pancreatitis

Pseudocyst is most common - cant differentiate on imaging alone
Simple cyst - vhl, pckd

22
Q

Pancreatic solid

A

Ductal carcinoma - old man smoker, head, hypovascular and t1 dark with double duct. Dismal prognosis. 20% 5y if operable. Inoperable if >180d sma/coeliac/pv/smv/hep artery or mets. Raised ca199. Seen in hnpcc, brca, peutz jager

Net - hypervascular. Functional or non. Vhl and men1
Insulinoma most common. <2cm, 90% benign
Gastrinoma 2nd, 60% cancer, zollinger elison, most common type in men1
Non functional 3rd, 80% cancer

Intrapancreatic spleen - t2 bright, tiger stripes on cect, take up rbcs and sulphur colloid

23
Q

Gamna gandy

A 
Splenic siderosis
Portal htn
Sickel cell
Haemolytic anaemias
Leukaemia lymphoma
24
Q

Splenic lesions

A

Histioplasmosis, tb give multiple calcs
Sarcoid gives splenomegally or multiple lesions, can calcify
Most common cyst is pseudocyst post trauma/infection etc, epidermoid/true cysts are congenital, echinococcal cysts show floating membranes
Enhancing likely haemangioma or hamartoma
Most common malignancy is lymphoma, mets are rare (think melanoma), amgiosarcoma most common primary malignancy large, aggressive, heterogenous, necrosis, rupture t1/2 dark
