Radio Flashcards
pathology of sickle cell disease
abnormal hemoglobin s
kidney uts results for scd
renal pyramids appear bright
skeletal findings in scd
expansion of medullary spaces
femoral flattening = avascular necrosis
axial ct findings in scd
auto-splenectomy
vertebral xray in scd
scalloping or concave deformity of the endplates (can also be seen in ct)
vertebral ct in scd
h shaped appearance of vertebra
what is sickle cell dactylitis
severe inflammation of finger and toe joints from infarcts of bone marrow and cortical bone
occur in first two years of life, little/no residual damage
pathology in thalassemia
reduction in the rate of globin chain synthesis = abnormal hemoglobin molecules
skeletal findings in thalassemia
- expansion of medulla
- thinning of cortical bone
- resorption of cancellous bone
skull: hair on end appearance
facial bones: rodent facies
rib within a rib appearance (anteior ribs is larger or more bulbous, posterior is smaller)
extra-medullary hematopoiesis
gi findings in thalassemia
cholelithiasis
hemosiderosis
coronal ct of knee in thalassemia
marrow changes = area of interspersed hypointense signals
hand xray in thalassemia
marrow proliferation = carpals and phalanges appear extended and lucent
scalloping of metacarpals, looking flattened or squared
characteristics of fanconi anemia
progressive bone marrow failure
congenital abnormalities
predisposition to malignancies
most common type of inherited marrow failure syndrome
radiologic findings in fanconi anemia
horseshoe kidney
radial ray anomalies (no thumb and radius; extra digits)
triphalangeal thumb
types of hemophilia
