Recognizing the Ultrasound Patterns of Mesenteric Panniculitis.

Mesenteric panniculitis (MP) is a rare, benign, and nonspecific chronic fibrosing inflammation of the mesenteric adipose tissue. Abdominal pain is the most frequent presentation.The objective was to recognize ultrasound (US) features in MP.

[Correlation in radiological bone age determination using the Greulich and Pyle method versus automated evaluation using BoneXpert software].

Objective: To determine the degree of correlation in the radiological bone age assessment using the Greulich and Pyle method versus automated assessment through BoneXpert® software between 2013 and 2016.

Material And Method: Correlation study of diagnostic techniques of 1500 carpal X-rays to assess bone age in patients under 16 years of age from Clínica Alemana de Santiago. X-rays with bone age assessment using the Atlas of Greulich and Pyle (GP) by 1 out of 7 pediatric radiologists, were analyzed using the BoneXpert (BE) software for automated bone age assessment.

[Gastric intramural pseudocyst in a heterotopic pancreas causing gastric outlet obstruction. Report of one case].

Heterotopic pancreas is a silent gastrointestinal malformation that may become clinically evident when complicated by inflammation and pseudocyst formation. We report a 26 year-old male presenting with vomiting, pain and abdominal distention. An abdominal CT scan showed an important gastric distention secondary to a 4-cm cystic lesion located in the antrum wall.

Computed tomography imaging of complications of acute cholecystitis.

Acute cholecystitis (AC) is a frequent complication of biliary cholelithiasis. Although ultrasound is the first diagnostic imaging procedure, frequently the initial imaging modality is computed tomography (CT). Therefore, familiarization of CT findings in AC and potential related complications are extremely important.
