Hepatic tuberculosis: a multimodality imaging review
OBJECTIVES We aim to illustrate the multimodal imaging spectrum of hepatic involvement in tuberculosis (TB). Whilst disseminated tuberculosis on imaging typically manifests as multiple small nodular lesions scattered in the liver parenchyma, isolated hepatic tuberculosis remains a rare and intriguing entity. METHODS Indubitably, imaging is the mainstay for detection of tubercular hepatic lesi...
متن کاملEarly and late onset complications of gynaecologic surgery: a multimodality imaging approach
The role of imaging after surgery is pivotal to drive clinical management of early and/or late onset complications. Most frequently used imaging technique after pelvic surgery is Ultrasound (US), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT). While Ultrasound is a standard procedure, using grey scale and/or colour Doppler evaluation, MRI and CT scan protocols should be derived o...
متن کاملHepatic alveolar echinococcosis.
Alveolar hydatid disease is a highly malignant form of echinococcosis caused by the larvae of the cestode echinococcus multilocularis. Alveolar hydatid disease always affects the liver and can metastasise to the lung and brain. Early diagnosis and precise evaluation of the localization as well as the extent of lesions are essential for treatment. In this report, we present ultrasound and compu...
متن کاملPolycystic liver disease: multimodality imaging for complications and transplant evaluation.
Polycystic liver disease (PLD) is usually associated with polycystic kidney disease but may also occur as an isolated finding in a rarer genetically distinct disease. In either case, the cyst burden will progress over time and, in rare cases, may affect liver function or become symptomatic due to massive hepatomegaly. The character, distribution, location, and size of hepatic cysts are importan...
متن کاملImaging the posterior mediastinum: a multimodality approach.
The posterior mediastinum contains several structures that can produce a wide variety of pathologic conditions. Descending thoracic aorta, esophagus, azygos and hemiazygos veins, thoracic duct, lymph nodes, adipose tissue, and nerves are all located in this anatomical region and can produce diverse abnormalities. Although chest radiography may detect many of these pathologic conditions, compute...
