Renal Medulla Carcinoma in a White Adolescent

American journal of Roentgenology (1997)

Renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) is a rare neoplasm of the kidney that has been recently described. It is almost exclusive to young patients of African descent and associated with sickle cell hemoglobinopathy, mainly sickle cell trait and hemoglobin sickle cell disease. The prognosis of RMC is very poor because of the highly aggressive behavior of this neoplasm and its resistance to conventional chemotherapy. Metastatic disease is almost universal at the time of presentation, and the malignancy is minimally responsive to a variety of regimens and/or modalities, including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and biological immune-modulation therapy. We report the seventh case of a left RMC occurring in a white child with sickle cell trait, but with a localization of the tumor in the left kidney, considered a non-predominant side for this type of tumor.

Dental Implants and Dental CT Software Programs

Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI (1995)

Dental implants are titanium cylinders that are surgically implanted into the jaw to allow fixation of a permanent dental prosthesis. These have provided an attractive alternative to standard removable dentures and have become quite popular. To assess these patients preoperatively, CT software programs were developed that display multiple axial, cross-sectional, and panoramic images of the jaw. As a result, new dialogues and interactions were created between radiologists and dentists, and this in turn brought new territories and unfamiliar diseases to the radiologists’ view. The purpose of this article is to familiarize the radiologist with dental implants, the surgical procedure, dental CT software programs, and related dental pathology. To know more, do read.

Kommerell’s Diverticulum and Stenosis of an Aberrant Left Subclavian Artery

Abstract Left aortic arch with an aberrant right subclavian artery is the most common anomaly of the aortic arch. Other rare anomalies include the occurrence of a right aortic arch with an aberrant left subclavian artery that has a diverticulum at its site of origin, known as Kommerell’s diverticulum. Right-sided aortic arch with an aberrant

Giant aneurysm of aortopulmonary collateral.

Introduction We present an unusual case of a giant aneurysm of an aortopulmonary collateral, in a patient of Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia on long-term conservative treatment. Aneurysm of aortopulmonary collateral is an extremely rare finding. Only a few similar cases have been reported in literature.

Contrast Material Extravasation:Appearances on Helical Computed Tomography

Abstract Contrast material extravasation on a computed tomography image invariably indicates disruption ofvascular structures, bowel, or the urinary tract. The pattern of contrast material extravasation often allowsexact anatomic localisation of the site of haemorrhage or perforation and contributes to effective intervention.In this pictorial essay, the helical computed tomography appearances of contrast material extravasation arehighlighted with

Magnetic resonance imaging diagnosis of Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome

Abstract Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the mainstay in the imaging evaluation of Mullerian agenesis, but is not routinely being utilized, particularly in India. Though sagittal MRI clearly demonstrates the absence or hypoplasia of the uterus and the axial images demonstrate the normal ovaries, it is the ability to identify and objectively evaluate other associated

Multi- attribute Non-initializing Texture Reconstruction based ASM (MANTRA)

Abstract In this paper we present MANTRA (Multi-Attribute, Non-Initializing, Texture Reconstruction Based Active Shape Model) which incorporates a number of features that improve on the the popular Active Shape Model (ASM) algorithm. MANTRA has the following advantages over the traditional ASM model. (1) It does not rely on image intensity information alone, as it incorporates

An Integrated magnetic- modal Prostate Segmentation Scheme by Combining Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Active Shape Models

Abstract Segmentation of the prostate boundary on clinical images is useful in a large number of applications including calculatingprostate volume during biopsy, tumor estimation, and treatment planning. Manual segmentation of the prostate boundaryis, however, time consuming and subject to inter- and intra-reader variability. Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging (MRI)and MR Spectroscopy (MRS) have recently emerged as

Images: Malignant right coronary artery – 64-slice CTA

An asymptomatic 48-year-old man came to our institute for routine cardiac evaluation. Electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, and treadmill exercise testing were within normal limits. The patient opted for a CT angiogram (CTA) of the coronary arteries and was subsequently referred to our department. The angiogram was performed on a Light speed VCT (Wipro GE, Bangalore) using a
