Congenital pulmonary artery anomalies: A review and approach to classification
Leslie E Hirsig, Priya G Sharma, Nupur Verma, Dhanashree A RajderkarJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2018 8(1):29-29 Congenital pulmonary artery anomalies are infrequent but given improved prenatal diagnosis and care, and neonatal surgical advances, over the past two decades are not uncommonly encountered by cardiothoracic imagers. An understanding of their etiology, classifications, associated anomalies, and surgical management can be helpful to avoid under or overdiagnosis. Timely diagnosis assisted by familiarity with imaging findings across modalities and recognition of surgical findings allows for medical manageme...

Linear atelectasis around the hilum on chest radiography: A novel sign of early lung cancer
Conclusion: Thick perihilar linear atelectasis is a new diagnostic roentgen sign that suggests subsegmental bronchial obstruction. In this patient subgroup, who are otherwise asymptomatic, a persistent linear atelectasis can be due to primary lung cancer. (Source: Journal of Clinical Imaging Science)

Normalized subtraction of serial brain magnetic resonance images and fludeoxyglucose-Positron emission tomography images for tumor treatment monitoring: Case report and method description
Nghi C Nguyen, Medhat M OsmanJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2018 8(1):25-25 A 60-year-old Caucasian male with a long history of cigarette smoking was diagnosed with epidermal growth factor receptor-mutation negative lung adenocarcinoma. The single cerebral metastasis in the right frontal lobe was treated with stereotactic radiosurgery and systemic chemotherapies. Normalized subtraction (NS) method was used to evaluate the serial brain magnetic resonance (MR) and fludeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) findings retrospectively, and the potential benefit of concurrent NS of serial MR images (MRIs) and PE...

Large vallecular masses; Differential diagnosis and imaging features
We present a series of five cases which includes two rare presentations: a case of low-grade cribriform adenocarcinoma of the base of tongue and a vallecular lipoma. The other three cases presented for differential diagnosis including benign vallecular cysts and two cases to show that malignant masses arising from neighboring anatomical sites such as tongue base or supraglottic larynx can exhibit significant vallecular component.

Assessment of the inferior petrosal sinus on T1-Weighted contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging
Conclusions: Our analysis indicates that routine thin-slice contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MRI can provide sufficient anatomic detail to identify typical drainage pattern of the IPS in a majority of cases. In cases where routine drainage was not identified, spatial resolution was not sufficient to further delineate complex drainage anatomy. No correlation was observed between the TS/SS dominance and patency of the ipsilateral IPS. (Source: Journal of Clinical Imaging Science)

Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging manifestations of spinal monostotic fibrous dysplasia
Conclusions: The CT and MRI manifestations of spinal MFD have the following characteristics: expansile lesion, GGO, sclerotic rim, and no obvious soft-tissue mass. The combined use of CT and MRI examinations is necessary for patients with suspected spinal MFD. (Source: Journal of Clinical Imaging Science)

A rare cause of obstructive jaundice: Cecal herniation through the foramen of winslow
Ivan Welaratne, Afshin NasoodiJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2018 8(1):24-24 Internal abdominal hernias are rarely reported in the literature and have a very low rate of preoperative diagnosis. It is even rarer that they present with jaundice. A 59-year-old Caucasian female presented with a short history of jaundice, dark urine, epigastric pain, vomiting, and obstipation. Her liver biochemistry profile revealed a mixed cholestatic/hepatocellular pattern with significantly elevated bilirubin. She urgently underwent abdominal imaging which provided a preoperative diagnosis of internal herniation of the cecum within the...

Benign Sclerosing and Fibrosing Conditions of the Abdomen and Their Potential Mimics
Joseph H Mullineux, Catalin V Ivan, Jay Pancholi, Ratan Verma, Arumugam Rajesh, Sadhna Verma, James A StephensonJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2018 8(1):21-21 The process of abnormal reparative or reactive processes in the abdominal cavity, can lead to sclerosis and fibrous deposition. The relatively recent discovery of an IgG4 subgroup of immune mediated sclerosing disease 1,2 has thrown some light on the pathophysiology of these conditions. Firstly, our pictorial review aims to describe imaging findings to enhance the general radiologist's recognition and interpretation of this varied group of benign scl...

Osteolipoma in the Forearm
Natalie Siu Kwan Ip, Hon Wai Lau, Wai Yu Wong, Ming Keung YuenJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2018 8(1):20-20 A case of left distal forearm and wrist osteolipoma in a 56 year old female is reported. The patient presented with a 3 year history of nontender left wrist mass. Radiographs demonstrated a lobulated mass of mixed low density and calcifications, not adjacent to and with no connection to underlying bone. Ultrasound showed a spheroid hyperechoic lesion with internal heterogeneity and rim of calcifications. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a lesion with predominantly fat characteristics on T1 weighted and T2 w...

Role of noninvasive imaging of cerebral arterial system in ischemic stroke: Comparison of transcranial color-coded doppler sonography with magnetic resonance angiography
Conclusion: Intracranial atherosclerosis was found to be the predominant distribution of cerebral atherosclerosis. TCCS is a safe method for evaluation of proximal basal cerebral arteries in the intracranial circulation with relatively better sensitivity in the anterior circulation.

Calcified Triticeous Cartilage Detected on Digital Panoramic Radiographs in a Sample of Lebanese Population
Conclusion: CTC can be detected on panoramic radiographs taken in daily dental practice; its identification is essential to avoid misdiagnosis with other calcifications in the neck region closely related to life-threatening risks such as CAC. (Source: Journal of Clinical Imaging Science)

Herniation of Packing Material into a Bronchopleural Fistula after Right Pneumonectomy and Clagett Window
Iclal Ocak, Gideon Bollino, Diane StrolloJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2018 8(1):17-17 Diagnosis of a bronchopleural fistula (BPF) can be challenging in patients after pneumonectomy and Clagett window. Herein, we present a case of pneumonectomy for advanced lung cancer complicated by a BPF. Herniation of packing material from the open-chest cavity into the fistula and airways on computed tomography was an important clue to making the diagnosis.

Renal Granulomatosis Post Intravesical Bacillus Calmette & #8211;Guerin Therapy for Non-muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer
We present a rare case of a 49-year-old male that presented with fever and chills after 3 weeks of intravesical BCG therapy post transurethral resection of bladder tumor. New renal lesions were present on contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan which was histologically proven to be necrotizing renal granulomatosis. (Source: Journal of Clinical Imaging Science)

Cross-sectional imaging of parotid gland nodules: A brief practical guide
Giuseppe Cicero, Tommaso D'angelo, Sergio Racchiusa, Ignazio Salamone, Carmela Visalli, Antonio Bottari, Alfredo Blandino, Silvio MazziottiJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2018 8(1):14-14 Clinical evaluation and ultrasound examination are the first steps in the evaluation of a patient with a swelling of the parotid region. After the detection of a nodular lesion, cytological or histological confirmation is usually performed to achieve the diagnosis, while the choice of cross-sectional imaging (computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging) may significantly vary from one physician to another, on th...
