"NASCI case of the month: left ventricular apical hypoplasia".

Left ventricular apical hypoplasia is a rare congenital condition. It can cause nonspecific symptoms and can be accompanied by cardiac conduction system alterations such as bundle branch block, atrial flutter (AF) or atrial fibrillation. The diagnosis mostly is made by imaging.

RSNA-STR-ACR Consensus Statement for COVID-19 CT Patterns: Interreader Agreement in 240 Consecutive Patients and Association With RT-PCR Status.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to study interreader agreement of the RSNA-STR-ACR (Radiological Society of North America/Society of Thoracic Radiology/American College of Radiology) consensus statement on reporting chest computed tomography (CT) findings related to COVID-19 on a sample of consecutive patients confirmed with reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.

Materials And Methods: This institutional review board-approved retrospective study included 240 cases with a mean age of 47.6 ± 15.

Epipericardial Fat Necrosis: Sonographic Findings and Their Correlation With Computed Tomography.

Epipericardial fat necrosis is a rare cause of chest pain. It presents as pleuritic pain in an otherwise healthy patient. Computed tomography has proved to be the most effective diagnostic imaging technique because of its ability to reveal typical alterations in the cardiophrenic space.

Crossing the barrier: when the diaphragm is not a limit.

Objective: The purpose of this article is to depict the anatomic pathways along which transphrenic spread of diseases and entities can disseminate.

Conclusion: The abdomen and thorax form a continuum on which the diaphragm is an important but incomplete barrier to disease migration.
