Management of a Giant Renal Artery Aneurysm in a Patient with Severe Hemophilia A.

BACKGROUND Classical hemophilia, or hemophilia A, is an X-linked recessive genetic disorder characterized by deficiency in clotting factor VIII. Renal artery aneurysms (RAAs) are also rare and are defined as a focal dilatation of the renal artery that exceeds 1.5 cm in diameter.

Accuracy of Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT and multiparametric MRI for the detection of local tumor and lymph node metastases in early biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer.

Anatomical and functional imaging plays a decisive role for detection and staging, of prostate cancer both primarily and post-treatment. While multiparametric MRI offers anatomic imaging with excellent soft tissue contrast, hybrid imaging based on positron emission tomography in combination with computed tomography (PET/CT) contributes functional imaging capacities. Since Ga-PSMA-11 was expected to be more efficient than the prior Choline-based PET radiotracers, it was the aim of the study to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT and multiparametric MRI in patients with recurrent prostate cancer and low PSA levels.

Apparently previously undescribed X-linked dominant syndrome with facial and skeletal anomalies.

We report on a syndrome of widow's peak, ptosis, skeletal abnormalities and other minor anomalies in a large family. The condition appears to be inherited in an X-linked dominant fashion. No similar cases have been found in the literature, suggesting that this is a "new" syndrome.

Current indications for magnetic resonance imaging.

Magnetic resonance is a well-established imaging modality for CNS, but it's utility for visualizing the rest of the body has not been appreciated fully or exploited yet. The authors believe that MRI will become one of the primary imaging modalities for the body during the next several years. Current and future indications for magnetic resonance imaging of the body are discussed.

The choice of radiologic procedures in the diagnosis of breast disease.

We have reviewed the radiologic imaging procedures related to the investigation of breast lesions, particularly carcinoma. We discussed the choice of procedure in certain clinical situations and have made suggestions. Of the imaging methods, x-ray mammography is the most useful.

Solitary cold thyroid nodule: cost-ineffectiveness of ultrasonography.

We reviewed our experience with thyroid sonography of 60 patients with nonfunctioning (cold) solitary thyroid nodules proven by iodine 123 scan. Twenty-two patients had surgery; the remaining 38 had thyroid scan and ultrasound only. In the first group, the echograms did not demonstrate the surgically proven nodules in seven patients (32%).

Ultrasonic diagnosis of renal and retroperitoneal lesions.

The unique ability of ultrasound to detect soft tissue interfaces makes it a prime tool for at least one major diagnostic approach to soft tissue lesions. Systematic ultrasonic examination of suspected masses in the abdomen should be performed early in the course of investigation. It will help direct additional studies and often result in cost savings by making the diagnostic process more efficient.

Demonstration and dimensional analysis of the normal pancreas with gray-scale echography.

For consistent identification of the normal pancreas, preliminary longitudinal scanning at, or near, the mid-line and subsequent oblique scanning in the long axis are necessary prerequisites in delineating the anatomic outline of the pancreas. The range of normal measurements for different anatomical regions of the pancreas was determined, based on the dimensional examinations of this organ in 328 patients free of pancreatic disease. These provide objective guidelines for analysis of the pancreas in abdominal echography.

Ultrasonic imaging of neoplasms.

Reflected ultrasound scanning (echography) is rapidly developing into a prime tool for tumor diagnosis, outlining, and detection. The principles of echographic diagnosis of neoplasms, the accepted uses in detection and diagnosis, as well as some of the principles of internal and contour patterns are discussed. Echography is very helpful in determining the size, location, organ origin, internal characteristics, and course of neoplasms in the abdominal area, neck, and extremities.

Echographic diagnosis of lesions of the abdominal, aorta and lymph nodes.

The development of echographic diagnostic procedures for abdominal aortic aneurysms and enlarged abdominal lymph nodes has been discussed. The echographic method is suitable in several ways for the initial diagnosis, determination of extent, differential diagnosis, as well as follow-up of these abdominal lesions. The criteria for diagnosis and differential diagnosis have been presented and the advantages of the method and its limitations reviewed.

Echographic evaluation of diaphragmatic motion in intra-abdominal diseases.

Movement of the diaphragm can be evaluated with diagnostic ultrasound using B- and M-mode techniques. Ultrasonic scanning is a highly sensitive method of demonstrating generalized or localized abnormalities of diaphragmatic motion and is superior to fluoroscopy in several respects. There is no exposure to ionizing radiations, and a permanent record of the excursion of the diaphragmatic surface is obtained.
