Revise Radiology Cardiology Flashcards
Cardiomegaly, pulmonary plethora, wide mediastinum
Truncus arteriosus or TAPVR
Aneurysm with thrombus vs thrombosed dissection
Thrombus in aneurysm will be on inner side of calcifications
Atrial myxoma MRI
Darker than myocardium on T1, brighter on T2, heterogenous enhancement
Drug toxicity post transplant
2 weeks post transplant, scattered ground glass and reticular changes
Melanoma mets on MRI
T1 and T2 bright
Peri-infarct ischaemia
Reduced perfusion adjacent to old infarct at rest, increased perfusion with stress
Transposition CXR appearance
Egg on string
Chest findings associated with NF1
Lower zone fibrosis
Left atrial appendage thrombus
Low density in non-dependent part of left atrial appendage
Pericardial effusion with known MI
Aortic dissection (extending into coronary arteries)
Eisenmenger age distribution
Usually develops before puberty
Invasive aspergillosis post transplant
2-3 weeks post transplant.
Multiple groundglass nodules with some cavitating and peribronchiolar consolidation
TAVR protocol CT
ECG gated retrospective cardiac CT.
Non gated pre and post contrast angiogram of aorta and iliofemoral vessels
Boorhave vs Mallory Weiss
Mallory Weiss is at the OG junction, no contrast outside the oesophagus
Commonest cause of figure of 8 on CXR
TAPVR type 1
Gold standard Ix to assess left atrial appendage thrombus
Transoesophageal Echo
Best sequence (MRI) to assess neck tumour and neurovascular involvement
Axial T1
Malignant origin of coronary arteries
Interarterial (between aorta and pulmonary arteries).
Bicuspid valve associated with
Coarctation, aortic stenosis, aortic regurg, ascending aneurysms
Right sided arch with mirror branching most associated with
Tetralogy of fallot
Smooth stenoses of abdominal aorta and it’s branches
Mid aortic syndrome
Associated with best outcome in uterine fibroid embolisation
Submucosal location
Thickening of the interatrial septum >6mm
Amyloid
Sjogren syndrome chest CT
Bilateral lower lobe bronchiectasis
