CT and MRI of Adrenal Masses
The adrenal glands are common sites of disease in the human body1 and are well visualized on abdominal CT scans and MR images. With the increased use of cross-sectional imaging, there has been increased detection of adrenal masses.2 The incidence of adrenal masses in patients with no history of malignancy is reported in 5% of all abdominal CT examinations3,4 and in 9% to 13% of patients imaged for a known malignancy.3 (Source: Contemporary Diagnostic Radiology)

The “ABCDE” Approach to the Systematic Assessment of Lumbar Spine MR Examination
Low back pain is one of the most common health problems in the United States and a leading cause of disability for patients younger than 45 years of age. MRI is the examination of choice for patients with complicated or chronic low back pain that has failed conservative therapy. The purpose of this article is to provide a systematic approach to interpretation of lumbar spine MR images, which can be remembered by the acronym “ABCDE”, in an effort to improve diagnostic accuracy and reporting efficiency. A stands for anatomy and alignment; B, bone integrity and marrow; C, cord location and signal; D, disc degeneration and...

Noncoronary Cardiac Calcifications: Direct and Indirect Clinical Implications
Noncoronary cardiac calcifications often are seen on imaging, particularly on CT. These calcifications are characterized by their location in the heart. Intracavitary calcifications are found in chronic thrombus, myxoma, or papillary muscles, and these calcifications are distinguished by their typical location. Myocardial calcifications are commonly a sequela from prior myocardial infarction, but diffuse involvement may be due to metastatic calcification. Pericardial calcifications are commonly incidental; however, inspection of the heart for signs of constrictive pericarditis is essential. Valvular calcifications usually ...

Diagnostic Role of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis
Since its introduction in 2011, digital breast tomosynthesis has been adopted rapidly worldwide for screening mammography. Digital breast tomosynthesis is a new technology that acquires a series of low-dose images of the compressed breast from different angles while the x-ray tube moves along an overhead arc.1 This projection image dataset is then used to reconstruct 1-mm thin-section images in standard mammographic views. Displaying the breast tissue in 1-mm-thin slices results in decreased tissue overlap, improved lesion visibility, better delineation of lesion margins, and more accurate characterization of lesion archit...

Imaging of Cat Scratch Disease
This article presents the common and rare imaging features of regional and multiorgan cat scratch disease using a multimodality imaging approach. We highlight key characteristics so that they may become more recognizable to the radiologist. (Source: Contemporary Diagnostic Radiology)

Imaging of Cardiac Aneurysms
Cardiac aneurysms are uncommon, encompass a wide variety of pathologies, and can occur in several locations in the heart. Cardiac aneurysms are of varying clinical concern, with some warranting prompt attention and many others with no clinical significance. Cardiac aneurysms may be identified on electrocardiogram-gated CT or MRI and incidentally on nongated imaging examinations. As CT and MRI are requested increasingly to evaluate anatomic cardiac pathology, radiologists should become familiar with the imaging appearances, clinical significance, and management options of cardiac aneurysms.
