Using the T11 vertebra to minimise the CT-KUB scan field.

Objectives: Computed tomography scans of the kidney, ureters, and bladder (CT-KUB) are crucial in investigating urinary calculi but impart a substantial radiation doses. Radiation can be limited by minimising the scanning field to the necessary area ( from the kidneys to urethra). Before auditing, the superior limit of CT-KUB scans had not been formally clarified at our trust.

Gastrogastric intussusception in adults: a case report with review of the literature.

Intussusception of the gastrointestinal viscera is rarely encountered in adult patients and is frequently associated with a polypoidal lead point, which is often malignant. We would like to present the case of a 68-year-old male with a history of decompensated liver disease and multiple medical comorbidities, who was discovered to have an incidental gastrogastric intussusception on CT. No polypoidal lead point was seen and we believe this to be the first case of its kind to be described.

Ewing's sarcoma of the inferior vena cava.

Ewing's sarcoma most commonly arises from bone but may also arise from soft tissues. Sarcoma of the inferior vena cava is a rare entity that requires multimodal therapy including surgical resection and vascular reconstruction. We describe the first reported case of Ewing's sarcoma of the inferior vena cava.
