Transarterial embolization for pediatric hepatocellular carcinoma with cardiac cirrhosis.

We describe the case of a 15-year-old boy with a history of Fontan operation and multiple intrahepatic tumors. Computed tomography showed multiple hepatic nodules with arterial enhancement. Because hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was not detected on biopsies and tumor markers were normal, progress was monitored on imaging.

Protective effect of inhalation of hydrogen gas on radiation-induced dermatitis and skin injury in rats.

The effect of inhalation of hydrogen-containing gas (1.3% hydrogen + 20.8% oxygen + 77.

Pneumonia induced by swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) infection: chest computed tomography findings in children.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the features of chest computed tomography (CT) in children with swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus (S-OIV).

Materials And Methods: The study population consisted of 16 children with laboratory-confirmed S-OIV infection (12 boys, 4 girls), with an age range of 5-10 years (mean 6.3 years).

Does supplementation of contrast MR imaging with thallium-201 brain SPECT improve differentiation between benign and malignant ring-like contrast-enhanced cerebral lesions?

Objective: To determine whether thallium-201 ((201)Tl) brain single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) could supplement magnetic resonance (MR) imaging diagnostic information by visual comparison of two separate data sets from patients with ring-like contrast-enhanced cerebral lesions.

Methods: A combination of MR imaging and (201)Tl brain SPECT sets obtained from 13 patients (10 men, 3 women) ranging in age from 26 years to 86 years (mean 61.0 years) were retrospectively reviewed.

Pulmonary spread of laryngeal papillomatosis: radiological findings.

Laryngeal papillomatosis is a rare benign disease seen in children and young adults. The spread of laryngeal papillomas throughout the respiratory tract occurs rarely; and involvement of the distal bronchi, bronchioles, and lung parenchyma is very rare. We report a case of pulmonary spread of laryngeal papillomatosis in a 34-year-old man, focusing on the radiological evidence.
