Imaging SBAs unit 1 Flashcards
Obese pt, large epicardial fat pad on CXR
Mediastinal Lipomatosis
Recurrent lymphoma vs Thymic hyperplasia
In/out of phase MRI. Thymic hyperplasia will demonstrate fat
Important consideration for angioplasty site of access
Needs sufficient distance between puncture site and target
Hilum overlay sign
Hilar vessels still visible through mediastinal mass, proving mass is not in middle mediastinum
Aplastic anaemia most commonly caused by
Thymoma
Pericardial calcifications often caused by
Constrictive pericarditis
Pulmonary nodule follow up <8mm
High risk –> PET
Low risk –> CT 1 year
Post procedure thrombosis of arterial graft, Rx
Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator, 15mg bolus + 2mg/hr infusion
Fluoro appearance of successful canalisation of portal vein in TIPS
Contrast flows via large vessels to liver periphery
Bilateral, subpleural and lower zone patchy ground glass and centrilobular nodules.
Associated with connective tissue disorders and transplant
Bronchiolitis Obliterans
General tips for injection rates/volumes for angiography
Larger vessels need higher rates and volumes of contrast.
Distal lower limb needs more volume but somewhat limited rate due to pain
Centrilobular, poorly defined peribronchiolar nodules, sparing the bases. Normal intervening lung
Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis
Aortic sinuses of valsalva - location
2cm above the coronary vessels
Widened upper mediastinum, high density material adjacent to aorta with preserved fat plane between them
Ligamentum arteriosum (developmental remnant)
IR wire - Cobra
Reverse facing curve, good for general use and visceral angiography
