The colon is well distended. Mild retained fluid and particulate matter within the colon is well tagged. There is severe muscular hypertrophy and diverticulosis throughout the sigmoid colon. There is persistent narrowing of a segment of sigmoid colon, corresponding to site of prior diverticulitis identified on CT 03/08/11. This is consistent with a low-grade stricture, likely benign given the presence of diverticula in this region. No polyps > 6 mm or colonic masses are identified. Scattered colonic diverticula are identified in the left colon and sigmoid colon. Note: CT colonography is not intended for the detection of diminutive colonic polyps (i.e., tiny polyps < 5 mm), the presence or absence of which will not change management of the patient.EXTRACOLONIC

42 year old female who has a complaint of palpable left breast mass. Family history of breast carcinoma in her maternal grandmother. MAMMOGRAM: Three standard views of both breasts, and two spot compression views of the left breast were performed digitally and reviewed with the aid of R2 CAD 9.3. The breast parenchyma is heterogeneously dense, which may obscure small masses. A triangular marker has been placed on an area of palpable concern overlying the lower slightly inner left breast. No discrete underlying mammographic abnormality is identified. No dominant mass, suspicious microcalcifications or areas of architectural distortion in either breast. ULTRASOUND: On physical examination, there is a soft, oval, mobile mass at the approximated 7 o'clock position of the left breast, 5 cm from the nipple. A targeted left ultrasound was performed for the palpable area of concern. A prominent fat lobule is noted at the site of palpable concern, and likely accounts for the finding on physical examination. There is no solid or cystic mass identified.
No mammographic or sonographic evidence of malignancy. As long as the patient's physical examination remains normal, bilateral screening mammogram is recommended annually. Results and recommendation were discussed with the patient.BIRADS: 1 - Negative.RECOMMENDATION: NS - Screening Mammogram.

Neck GSW status post exploration. The entrance wound was in the left submandibular area, and the bullet remained in the neck on the left side. The exam limited by beam hardening artifact, which limits assessment of the inferior portions of the major cervical vessels, but the superior portions of the major cervical vessels appear to be patent. There are postoperative findings related to neck exploration with a drain positioned in the superficial portion of the anterior neck and diffuse subcutaneous fat stranding. A bullet fragment that measures approximately up to 10 mm is lodged in the right paraspinous muscles lateral to the cervical spine at the C5 level. Another metallic foreign body that measures up to 7 mm is present in the right paratracheal space adjacent to the right common carotid artery. A punctate focus of hyperattenuation in the left upper mediastinum likely represents reflux of contrast into a vein. There is a comminuted and mildly displaced fracture of the anterior C4 vertebral body. There is scattered foci of emphysema in the neck and extensive areas of hyperattenuation and swelling in multiple compartments of the neck, including a retropharyngeal hematoma measuring up to 22 mm in thickness that extends into the upper mediastinum and results in mild airway narrowing at the inferior aspect of the endotracheal tube. There is scattered sinonasal opacification. There is also fluid surrounding the endotracheal tube in the pharynx.

42 year old female who has a complaint of non-focal left breast pain. No family history of breast cancer. Three standard views of both breasts were performed digitally and reviewed with the aid of R2 CAD 9.3. The breast parenchyma is composed of scattered fibroglandular density, unchanged in pattern and distribution. No dominant mass, suspicious microcalcifications or areas of architectural distortion in either breast. Benign appearing lymph nodes are projected over both axillae.
No mammographic evidence of malignancy. As long as the patient's physical examination remains normal, bilateral screening mammogram is recommended annually. If her left breast pain continues, the patient should return to her primary care physician for management of her symptoms. Results and recommendation were discussed with the patient.BIRADS: 1 - Negative.RECOMMENDATION: NS - Screening Mammogram.

Female 55 years old Reason: Pt is a 55 yo female with chronic abdominal pain, and nausea after meals. Diagnosed with SMA in the past s/p SMA surgical relief with duodenojejunostomy. need to be assess under fluoroscopy and assess for anastomotic site stenosis. History: abdominal pain, nausea Limited evaluation of the esophagus was without mucosal or mural abnormality.The stomach was mildly patulous. There was persistent narrowing of the pyloric channel, measuring 1.0 cm during maximal distention, a nonspecific finding, but possibly reflecting sequelae of gastritis. The stomach was initially aperistaltic; however, shortly after administration of contrast, normal peristalsis was evident. Postsurgical changes related to a side-to-side duodenojejunostomy are present. Contrast progressed promptly from the first portion of the duodenum to the mid to distal jejunum, without evidence of fixed narrowing to suggest stenosis. The duodenojejunostomy anastomosis was widely patent.TOTAL FLUOROSCOPY TIME: 5:05 minutes
1.Post surgical changes related to duodenojejunostomy, with a widely patent anastomosis and no fixed narrowings to suggest stenosis.2.Nonspecific narrowing of the pyloric channel, measuring up to 1 cm during maximal distention, which may reflect sequelae of gastritis. Correlation with direct visualization is recommended as clinically indicated.

Female 65 years old Reason: Areas of uptake, please quantify any distant metastases History: Thyroid cancer metastatic to lung and adrenal s/p surgery, withdrawn for thyroid hormone There is expected I-131 activity in the salivary glands, stomach, colon, and urinary bladder. Functioning thyroid tissue in the thyroid bed is noted most likely representing remnant. Small focus in the midline anteriorly superior to the thyroid bed may represent thyroglossal duct remnant tissue over metastasis, although the latter is conceivable. No other evidence of iodine avid tumor.SPECT CT: Subcentimeter nodule in the right lung may be still present but not clearly visualized which may be due to slice selection or patient breathing motion artifact. No iodine avid lesion was seen in this vicinity.Probe uptake of the neck is 0.66%.
Residual thyroid tissue in the thyroid bed, and in probable thyroglossal duct remnant. No conclusive iodine avid disease elsewhere.
