GIT Flashcards
2 view by uss to appendix
Describe normal appendix
Longitudinal view
Axial view
Homogenous non inflammed fat
Thin walled
Normal lumen
Acute appendicitis
Uss
Longitudinal view
Axial view
Longitudinal view : enlarged appendix , thick walled with hyperechoic thick fat
** check for stone
Hyperechoic mass with posterior acoustic shaddow “ calcified fecolith “
Axial view
“ Target sign “.
Simple liver cyst on CT
Describe :
CT abdomen axial with IV contrast
Non enhanced well defined density of cystic mass of the liver
Liver abscess
Uss :
CT:
Well defined hypoechoic mass with posterior acoustic enhancement & small bubbles
Single non enhanced hypodense hepatic mass with double target sign
Or - Single non enhanced hypodense mass with thick irregular wall
CT axial abdomen with IV contrast
Multiple hypodense hepatic mass with cluster sign
Dx :
No cluster sign : Dx = multiple simple liver cysts
Multiple liver abscesses
Multiple non communicating well defined anechoic masses
In liver by uss
Dx :
By CT describe :
Multiple simple hepatic cysts
CT abdomen axial with IV contrast
Multiple non enhanced hypodense density of cystic masses in the liver
Liver metastasis by CT
Describe :
Multiple nonenhanced hypodense masses with irregular hepatic margin
Metastasis of liver
Uss describe :
Dx : single metastasis usually from ……..
Bull’s eye or target sign
Bronchogenic carcinoma
Ddxof multiple non enhanced lesions :
- cluster sign “ multiple abscesses” + fever
- multiple simple cysts ( well defined , same density with bile )
- liver metastasis “ irregular hepatic margin”
Single anechoic hepatic lesion germinal membrane
Sx :
Hepatic hydatid cyst
Hydatid cyst
- 76 % in
-………. is the second most common
In liver
Lung
Single anechoic hepatic mass with lobulated daughters
Dx :
Hepatic Hydatid cyst
Hepatic hydatid cyst
CT
Describe :
CT axial abdomen with IV contrast single large non enhanced hypodense mass with calcified wall & contains daughters“”!!!
CT abdomen axial with IV contrast
Single mass with peripheral nodular enhancement in the RT lobe of the liver
Dx :
If start to be centrally enhanced & dot at periphery ; this phenomena called :
Hepatic hemangioma
Iris phenomena
Focal nodular hyperplasia
Modality
Describe
MRI T2 axial abdomen with oral contrast
MRI T1 axial abdomen with IV contrast
Well defined mass in RT lobe of the liver with Central scar
