Generate impression based on findings. | seizure, R frontal contusions vs AVM vs mass. The CSF spaces are appropriate for the patient's stated age with no midline shift. There is a somewhat lobular appearing mass present centered in the lateral aspect of the left orbital gyrus adjacent to the left inferior frontal gyrus measuring 20 x 12 mm axial dimensions which has a surrounding low signal rim on T2 and FLAIR MRI and blooming on susceptibility weighted imaging. Centrally it is high signal on T1 and T2 and FLAIR. In general has a popcorn-like appearance.No abnormal enhancing mass lesions are appreciated intracranially. No intracranial hemorrhage is identified. No edema is identified within the brain parenchyma.Normal vascular flow voids are present in the distal carotid and vertebral arteries, the basilar artery and the proximal anterior, middle and posterior cerebral arteries as well as the internal cerebral veins and superior sagittal sinus.The visualized portions of the paranasal sinuses demonstrate air-fluid levels in the maxillary sinuses and scattered opacities in the ethmoid air cells with air-fluid levels in the sphenoid sinuses. The visualized portions of the mastoid air cells are clear. The visualized portions of the orbits are intact. | 1.There is a left frontal lobe lesion present which is suspicious for a cerebral cavernous malformation with recent hemorrhage based on its imaging characteristics.2.Opacification of the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity. There is suspicion for acute sinusitis. Please correlate with clinical symptoms and history. |
Generate impression based on findings. | Female, 73 years old, with right hip and low back pain radiating down the posterior right leg. Bone marrow signal intensity is diffusely low on all sequences including T2 and STIR. Superimposed are small areas of bright T2 signal within the left aspect of the L1 and L3 vertebral bodies though this signal does suppress partially on STIR images.A grade 1 anterolisthesis of L4 relative to L5 is seen. Vertebral body alignment is otherwise unremarkable. Vertebral body heights are preserved.The visualized spinal cord, conus and nerve roots of the cauda equina are unremarkable.Loss of disc height and disc T2 signal is seen at L4-5 and L5-S1. Additional level specific findings are as follows:T12-L1: Mild bulging disc. No significant spinal canal or foraminal stenosis.L1-2: Unremarkable. L2-3: Facet hypertrophy. Minimal laterally bulging disc. No significant spinal canal or foraminal stenosis. L3-4: Facet hypertrophy with small facet effusions. Minimal laterally bulging disc. No significant spinal canal or foraminal stenosis. L4-5: Facet hypertrophy and ligamentum flavum thickening. Disc bulging and disc uncovering. Moderate spinal canal narrowing. Mild bilateral foraminal narrowing. L5-S1: Facet hypertrophy. Bulging disc. No significant spinal canal stenosis. Mild right foraminal narrowing. | 1.Diffusely abnormal low marrow signal intensity is seen which would be compatible with anemia, excess iron deposition perhaps from blood transfusions, or other marrow infiltrative processes.2.Focal areas of bright T2 signal which suppresses on STIR images in L1 and L3 probably reflect either hemangiomas or focal fatty sparing.3.Relatively mild degenerative findings are seen. These are most notable at the L4-5 level where spondylolisthesis, disc bulging and posterior element hypertrophy contribute to produce a moderate spinal canal stenosis. |
Generate impression based on findings. | Female, 35 years old, 21 weeks gestational age, with abnormal prenatal ultrasound, neck teratoma suspected. A multiloculated, T2 hyperintense, predominantly cystic-appearing lesion is evident centered on the right parotid and masticator spaces. This lesion measures up to 27 x 23 x 18 mm. The lesion extends up to the floor of the middle cranial fossa but does not invade the intracranial space. There may, however, be some invasion of the temporal bone structures. Inferiorly, the lesion extends into the submandibular space. Medially, the lesion does appear to enter and encroach upon the nasopharynx. It is difficult to determine how much of the nasopharynx may be occupied by the lesion. The trachea is visualized and does not appear to be directly compressed or invaded by the lesion. | A multiloculated, predominantly cystic appearing lesion is evident with the largest component centered on the right parotid and masticator spaces. Smaller lesion components are seen within the submandibular space, and it does appear that the lesion encroaches to some degree on the nasopharynx. It does not appear that the trachea is directly compressed by this lesion, but some degree of obstruction at the level of the pharynx cannot be excluded.Given the predominantly cystic appearance of this lesion, and its trans-spatial distribution, the differential diagnosis would include a lymphatic or veno-lymphatic malformation. Teratoma would also be reasonable consideration, though these typically show more discrete areas of solid tissue. |

Generate impression based on findings. | Diagnosis: Unspecified convulsions Malignant neoplasm of brain, unspecified Unspecified convulsions Malignant neoplasm of brain, unspecified MRI brain:There is a 12 x 23 mm axial dimension mass located at the medial aspect of the right temporal lobe which is homogeneously high signal on T2 and homogeneously low signal on T1. There is no associated contrast enhancement. It displaces the right posterior communicating artery medially and protrudes into the suprasellar cistern along its posterior aspect. It is within a millimeter of the infundibulum of the pituitary gland. It impresses upon the right cerebral peduncle and also displaces the basal vein of Rosenthal superiorly. It drapes over the tentorium. The right optic tract is displaced superiorly. Compared to the previous exam from 8/14/2015 and has not changedNormal vascular flow voids are present in the distal carotid and vertebral arteries, the basilar artery and the proximal anterior, middle and posterior cerebral arteries as well as the internal cerebral veins and superior sagittal sinus.The visualized portions of the paranasal sinuses are clear.

Generate impression based on findings. | Male 39 years old Reason: s/p ACL recon by Dr. Martin Leland. Check for ACL re-tear versus meniscus re-tear. History: knee pain and swelling. MENISCI: Again seen is vertically-oriented increased signal intensity within the peripheral fibers of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus indicating a longitudinal tear. The tear is less prominent on the current study than on the prior study and contains intermediate and low signal intensity suggesting prior repair and partial healing. However, there is a vertically oriented linear focus of higher signal intensity within the inferior aspect of the tear that is suspicious for a focal retear of the undersurface of the meniscus. Additionally, there is a small focus of increased signal intensity more anteriorly along the undersurface of the red/white zone of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, likely representing a new undersurface tear. The anterior horn and body of medial meniscus appear intact.There is mild deformity of the root of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus, likely representing repair of a tear at this location, but we see no findings to suggest retear or new tear of the posterior horn. There is, however, a new partial thickness radial/oblique tear of the anterior horn of lateral meniscus.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is focal loss of cartilage along the posterior aspect of the medial tibial plateau beneath the meniscal tear, with edema type signal in the underlying bone. There is also mild heterogeneity of the articular cartilage of the weight-bearing portion of the medial femoral condyle suggesting mild degeneration with mild edema type signal in the underlying bone. There is increased signal intensity within the articular cartilage of the lateral femoral condyle above the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus, likely representing focal degeneration, with a cyst in the underlying bone that is new when compared with the prior study. There is a full thickness cleft through the articular cartilage of the medial facet of the femoral trochlea, with degeneration of the articular cartilage. This appears slightly more extensive on the current study than on the prior study. There is mild edema within the medial tibial spine; this is nonspecific.LIGAMENTS: Patient is status post ACL reconstruction. The anterior cruciate ligament is heterogeneous in signal, perhaps due to "neo-ligamentization", but fibers can be traced from the femur to the tibia and we see no specific features of a retear. The posterior cruciate ligament is intact. The medial collateral ligament is abnormally thickened, indicating prior injury, but we see no fluid filled tear at this time. The lateral collateral ligament complex is intact. EXTENSOR MECHANISM: There are chronic enthesopathic changes within the distal quadriceps, but otherwise the extensor mechanism is intact.ADDITIONAL | 1.ACL reconstruction as described above, with heterogeneous signal intensity of the graft that is favored to represent "neo-ligamentization" rather than tearing.2.Intermediate to low signal intensity tissue anterior to the graft may represent residual torn ACL fibers, but we cannot exclude the possibility of focal arthrofibrosis ("cyclops lesion").3.New radial tear of the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus.4.Findings suggestive of new and recurrent undersurface tears of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus.5.Cartilage abnormalities and other findings as described above. |

Generate impression based on findings. | 42-year-old male with persistent left knee pain unresponsive to conservative therapy. MENISCI: There is a complex but predominantly horizontal tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus with branching signal abnormality which extends to both the tibial and femoral articular surfaces. The signal within portions of the tear approaches that of fluid, suggesting a relatively large and potentially unstable tear. The body and anterior horn of the medial meniscus appear intact. There is a small undersurface tear of the free edge of the body of the lateral meniscus. Blunting of the undersurface of the free edge of the posterior horn may represent an additional tear.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There is a vertical fracture through the lateral aspect of the patella with clefts in the overlying articular cartilage. There is an additional cleft in the articular cartilage just lateral to the median eminence of the patella as well as superficial fraying of the articular cartilage of the medial facet of the patella.

The peroneal tendons are intact. The extensor tendons are intact. Achilles tendon is normal.LIGAMENTS: Fibers of the anterior talofibular ligament can be traced from the fibula to the talus on T2 axial images. However, on other sequences, the ATFL appears thickened and indistinct, compatible with prior sprain. The calcaneofibular ligament is thickened, compatible with prior sprain. Lack of fluid within the peroneal tendon sheaths argues against complete tear of the calcaneofibular ligament. The posterior talofibular ligament is intact. The distal fibular syndesmotic complex is intact. Loss of the normal striations of the deep deltoid ligament may represent prior injury.ARTICULAR SURFACES AND BONE: The bone marrow signal is normal.

Again seen is a nonenhancing T2 hyperintense mass involving the left thalamus measuring approximately 3.8x2.6x3.0 cm in the AP, transverse, and craniocaudal dimensions. The lesion has not significantly changed in size from prior exams. Also unchanged is T2 hyperintensity and thickening involving the left amygdala and medial temporal lobe which likely represents infiltrative tumor as well. Linear branching enhancement within the left thalamus appears vascular and more apparent perhaps due to treatment change.A few scattered foci of T2 hyperintensity are evident elsewhere in the cerebral white matter which are nonspecific and unchanged. No restricted diffusion is seen. No new lesions are detected. No evidence of intracranial hemorrhage is seen apart from minimal susceptibility along the biopsy tract. No pathologic fluid collections are detected. The ventricular system is stable in size and morphology including minimal effacement of the left lateral and third ventricles secondary to mass effect related to the tumor. | Compared to 11/4/2014 and 8/27/2014, there is no significant interval change in the size of left thalamic tumor. Also unchanged is evidence of tumor extension into the medial aspect of the left anterior temporal lobe.

The lesion measures approximately 35 x 24 mm when measured similarly to the prior examination showing no significant interval change in size. There is a thin rim of surrounding susceptibility effect, but no significant edema in the adjacent parenchyma. The lesion causes local mass effect with perhaps partial effacement the right frontal horn and slight encroachment upon the third ventricle, similar to prior. The ventricular system is otherwise unremarkable. No additional intracranial lesions are seen. No other pathologic enhancement is identified. Scattered punctate foci of FLAIR hyperintensity elsewhere in the cerebral hemispheres are nonspecific and unchanged. | No significant change in size or morphology of a presumed cavernous malformation centered on the right basal ganglia. |

Mildly increased signal intensity is seen in the body of the medial meniscus, without discrete tear. Globular mildly increased signal intensity is seen at the inner fibers of the body of the lateral meniscus, without discrete tear. ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: Small foci of bone marrow edema are present at the anteromedial aspect of the medial femoral condyle. We see no discrete cartilage defects. LIGAMENTS/TENDONS: There is a complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament, likely through its mid substance. There is a complete (or near-complete) tear of the posterior cruciate ligament at its femoral attachment. The superficial band of the MCL is intact. Overlying edema may represent a sprain. The meniscofemoral coronary ligament is not seen, and we cannot exclude the possibility of a tear. Edema in the soft tissues immediately anterior to the MCL may reflect partial disruption of the medial retinaculum; a 7-mm linear focus of low signal intensity along the anteromedial aspect of the medial femoral condyle with mild underlying edema within the bone may represent a medial retinacular/capsular avulsion fracture. The LCL is indistinct, compatible with a full thickness tear. The distal fibers of the biceps femoris tendon are also indistinct, suggestive of at least a high grade partial thickness tear. The IT band is intact. There is extensive edema along the lateral retinaculum beneath the joint line. There is edema between the biceps femoris muscle and underlying femur as well as between the gastrocnemius heads.

Generate impression based on findings. | 41-year-old female with a history of bilateral cerebral peduncle cavernomas and acute bleed seen on MRI examination at an outside hospital. Ill defined hyperdensities are noted within the cerebral peduncles bilaterally, the left lesion being located nearer to the thalamus. These lesions are in identical location to the cavernomas characterized by MRI in 2004, at which time there was edema and larger size of the left-sided lesions suggestive of recent hemorrhage.There is no visible edema surrounding cerebral peduncle lesions, nor is there mass effect in this location or elsewhere in the brain. Findings are therefore most consistent with chronic cavernomas, and it is doubtful that there has been any recent change. If there is a high degree of concern regarding this finding, MRI could be obtained or the outside MRI could be compared with the prior from 2004. Outside of the cerebral peduncle lesions, the appearance of the brain is normal with preserved gray-white matter differentiation and no additional lesions identified. There is no midline shift or basal cistern effacement. Ventricles and sulci have normal size and configuration. No abnormal fluid collections.The calvaria and skull base are radiographically normal. The visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are normally pneumatized.

There is interval reduction size of the left sided lesion since 2004, and there is no convincing evidence of edema or mass effect from either of the lesions based on CT. Therefore, it is felt to be unlikely that there has been recent hemorrhage in this location. MRI examination could be considered for further evaluation if there is a high degree of concern regarding change in symptoms or hemorrhage--it can more sensitively detect edema and would allow same modality comparison with prior study. The outside MRI can be compared to the UC prior if it is available. |

Generate impression based on findings. | 42-year-old female with suspicious palpable right breast mass, presenting for biopsy. Patient is under the Alan Penn protocol, and had an MRI breast performed on the same day. Targeted ultrasound of the right breast at 6:00 position reveals a 2.9 x 1.9 cm irregular shadowing hypoechoic mass with indistinct margins and mild internal vascularity. This was the target for biopsy.On same day breast MRI study, an enhancing focus was identified in the medial right breast around 3:00 position. For this reason, targeted ultrasound evaluation of the medial right breast was performed which revealed a 5 x 2 x 5 mm circumscribed homogenous hypoechoic avascular mass, and benign in appearance. This mass correlates to an enhancing mass on MRI in the medial right breast.PROCEDURE: The procedure and its risks, including bleeding, infection, and failure to diagnose, and expected benefits of ultrasound-guided core biopsy with percutaneous placement of a marking clip and post-procedure unilateral mammogram were discussed with the patient. Questions were answered. Consent was obtained both verbally and in writing. The time-out form was completed to confirm patient identity and side/type of procedure.The right breast was cleansed with chlorhexidine over the target area. Transducer was sterilely sheathed. Local anesthesia was obtained using 2% lidocaine superficially and at depth. A 3 mm incision was made in the skin with a #11 scalpel blade. Using aseptic technique, continuous ultrasound guidance and a mediolateral approach, three 14-gauge core needle (Celero) specimens were obtained of the lesion. Targeting was judged excellent. All specimens sank to the bottom of the prefilled container of 10% formalin. Specimen quality was judged excellent.Specimens were sent to Pathology with an accompanying history sheet. Using continuous ultrasound-guidance a Hydromark clip was placed into the lesion in the usual manner. Pressure was held over the biopsy site until all bleeding subsided.
