Papillary Lesions of the Breast: What the Radiologist Should Know
Papillary lesions of the breast encompass a wide spectrum of benign and malignant lesions that arise from the ductal epithelium. These lesions comprise less than 10% of benign breast lesions, less than 2% of breast cancers, and less than 5% of all breast biopsies.1 It may be challenging to diagnose a papillary lesion as benign or malignant prospectively, given the considerable overlap in imaging features. Although imaging features may be similar, each pathologic entity has a unique biologic behavior. This CME activity reviews the common imaging features of papillary lesions of the breast, with emphasis on which imaging fea...

Emergency and Postoperative Gastrointestinal Fluoroscopy: A Lost Art
Emergency and postoperative gastrointestinal (GI) fluoroscopy is an important procedure for problem-solving and patient management. The problem facing diagnostic radiology today is that there are only a few United States Diagnostic Radiology Training Programs that have any active faculty interested in GI fluoroscopy, and the volume of GI fluoroscopy is continuing to decline. Both endoscopy and cross-sectional imaging have continued appropriately to replace many standard GI fluoroscopy procedures. Thus, our current radiology residents are not trained in GI fluoroscopy procedures as they were 20 years ago. Another problem is...

Imaging of Knee Swelling in Children
The knee joint is the largest joint in the body and comprises the tibiofemoral (medial and lateral) and the patellofemoral compartments. The knee joint is a modified hinge joint and relies on several associated muscles, tendons, and ligaments to provide strength and stability during movement and at rest. A limping child with a swollen knee is a common presentation encountered by pediatricians. Although trauma is the most common cause of pediatric knee swelling, a wide variety of pathologies can manifest as a swollen and/or painful knee joint in children, reflecting underlying abnormalities of soft tissue or osseous compone...

Multimodality Imaging of Fat Necrosis of the Breast
Fat necrosis of the breast is a common benign entity with imaging features and clinical findings that can mimic breast cancer, requiring biopsy for diagnosis.1 Fat necrosis initially was described in 1920 as the result of blunt trauma to the breast. With the growing number of reduction mammoplasty procedures, radiation therapy, breast conserving procedures, and reconstructive surgical procedures, fat necrosis now is encountered frequently in daily radiology practice.1 Fat necrosis has widely varied presentations on breast imaging during its many stages of evolution.1 Hence, it is important for radiologists to be familiar w...

CT Evaluation of Postpartum Abdominal Pain: Normal Appearance, Pathology, and Pitfalls
The postpartum period is defined as the 6 to 8 weeks after delivery of the fetus and placenta. Postpartum complications and physiologic changes of a postpartum uterus may overlap, which potentially makes imaging interpretation and diagnosis difficult. On occasion, postsurgical inflammatory changes can extend beyond the reproductive organs and may confound diagnosis of the source of a patient's abdominal pain. Pathology during the postpartum state may be obstetric, gynecologic, or nonobstetric/gynecologic in origin.1 (Source: Contemporary Diagnostic Radiology)

Lytic Lesions of the Posterior Elements of the Spine
This article reviews lesions that classically arise from the posterior elements, mainly aneurysmal bone cyst, osteoid osteoma/osteoblastoma, myeloma, and osteochondroma; hemangioma, and giant cell tumor, which typically arise from the vertebral body but extend into the neural arch.
