Revise Radiology GI Flashcards
Rosary bead or corkscrew appearance on barium swallow
Diffuse oesophageal spasm
Median arcuate ligament stenosis
Focal stenosis of coeliac trunk due to indentation at superior surface by the median arcuate ligament
Incidental solitary bone lesion on CT Colon
Likely clinically unimportant, further follow up may be warranted
Double target sign in liver
Pyogenic abscess
Superficial spreading oesophageal carcinoma
Small plaque like nodularities which resemble pseudodiverticula
Pancreatic tumours: Islet cell vs carcinoid
Carcinoid tumours are hypovascular
Exophytic, heterogenously enhancing stomach mass
GIST
Specific to venous gut ischamia
Mesenteric fat stranding and ascites
Liver mass, non enhancing scar, normal AFP
Fibrolamellar HCC
FNH has delayed scar enhancement
Aspirin before liver biopsy
Stop for 7-10 days
Cholangiocarcinoma classification
Bismuth 1: Involves common hepatic duct
Bismuth 2: Confluence of right and left hepatic duct
Bismuth 3a: right hepatic duct
Bismuth 3b: left hepatic duct
Bismuth 4: Multifocal, right and left hepatic ducts
Bismuth 5: Junction of CBD and cystic duct.
1 and 2 are resectable
> 3cm circumscribed area of fat stranding in mesentery with swirling vessels
Omental infarct
Pancreatic tumoural growth into the GDA, prognosis
Can still be resected
Gasless abdomen TOF
Can happen in type A and B
Localised oesophageal pseudodiverticulosis
Can suggest peptic strictures or oesophageal cancer
Tapering and nodularity of distal oesophagus
Oesophageal cancer
C-rads scoring for ct colonoscopy
C0: Inadequate study
C1: Normal
C2: Indeterminate polyp 6-9mm, <3 in number. CTC in <3 years
C3: >10mm or >3 6-9mm or C2 gotten worse.
C4: >30mm mass likely malignant
Killian Jamieson vs Zenker
Zenker are usually larger and more often symptomatic
large, multilocular cystic lesion in pancreas with peripheral calcifications
Mucinous cystadenoma
Non propulsive disorganised contractions in the oesophagus
Tertiary contractions
Soft tissue mass around aorta, pushing aorta forwards
Lymphoma
Decreased perfusion and contractility at rest, increased FDG uptake, redistribution of thallium
Hibernating myocardium
Intense peripherally washout of liver lesion
Most specific for mets
Cystic lesion, not arising from bowel
Lymphangioma
Grade 3 splenic lac, not actively bleeding
Observation and conservative Rx
Posterior vaginal wall involvement of rectal cancer
Not considered high risk
Soft tissue mass arising from small bowel mesentery, mass effect on bowel
Mesenteric fibromatosis
Spongiform lesion with peripheral enhancement and gas locules 1 month post surgery with dense linear structures
Gossypiboma
High T1 signal within ablation zone (HCC)
Successful ablation
Caecal vs sigmoid volvulus
Caecal volvulus has haustral markings
Serous vs mucinous cystadenoma of pancreas
Serous consists of many smaller cysts with central stellate scar
Mucinous of fewer bigger cysts
