Images are slightly limited by patient motion. The lumbar spine is in normal alignment, with a normal lumbar lordosis. There is mild narrowing with forming Schmorl's node at L1-L2, with interval distal degeneration. There is also mild narrowing of the L5-S1 disk although this is stable and may be developmental. The vertebral body and disk heights are otherwise well-maintained. No worrisome focal marrow signal abnormality is appreciated.The distal spinal cord and conus are within normal limits with the conus terminating at the L1-L2 level, similar to prior. From L2-L3 through lower L3, there is minimal linear intrinsic T1 hyperintensity along the dorsal aspect of the thecal sac. In addition, there is trace linear intrinsic T1 hyperintensity extending from the mid L5 level down to the distal end of the thecal sac. This likely represents a thin fatty filum which has been cut during tethered cord repair, previously noted to be continuous thin fat signal. Postoperative changes are suggested at the L3-L4 level in the subcutaneous soft tissues. Prone images demonstrate definite significant ventral motion of the distal cord and conus as well as cauda equina nerve roots within the distal thecal sac.There is no significant disk bulge, herniation, spinal canal or foraminal stenosis within the lumbar spine.
1. Interval postoperative changes from tethered cord release with retracted ends of fatty filum, with stable level of conus termination at L1-L2.

LUNGS AND PLEURA: Scattered calcified and noncalcified micronodules nonspecific and too small to accurately characterize.No pleural fluid or pneumothorax. Mild dependent atelectasis resolves upon prone positioning of the patient.Mosaic attenuation of the lung parenchyma, accentuated on the expiration sequence, consistent with small airways disease.No areas of consolidation are appreciated. Mild scarring at the lung bases, but no specific signs of pulmonary fibrosis or bronchiectasis.Subtle approximately 1 cm focus of groundglass opacity in the anterior left upper lobe, series 4 image 105, coronal image 55, difficult to characterize due to streak artifact through the area.MEDIASTINUM AND HILA: Severe cardiomegaly with marked enlargement of the left atrium and left ventricle. Left subclavian ICD/pacemaker is present with leads in the right atrial appendage, right ventricle anteriorly, coronary sinus and pulmonary outflow tract. No pericardial fluid. No visible coronary artery calcifications on this non-cardiac gated study. The main pulmonary artery is difficult to accurately measure on this unenhanced exam but measures at least 32 mm in transverse dimension, consistent with pulmonary hypertension.Hiatal hernia. No visible lymphadenopathy.Segmental level and airways are attenuated, presumably related to compression from adjacent enlarged pulmonary arteries.CHEST WALL: Left chest wall pacemaker generator.UPPER ABDOMEN: Absence of IV and enteric contrast material limits sensitivity for abdominal pathology. Limited scanning range. 18 millimeter cystlike hypoattenuating lesion in the left hepatic lobe incompletely characterized. Similar 9 mm lesion at the hepatic dome.
1. No conclusive radiographic evidence of pulmonary fibrosis or septal thickening to suggest Amiodarone pulmonary toxicity.2. Single area of ground glass opacity in the anterior left upper lobe could potentially represent focal acute interstitial pneumonitis related to pulmonary toxicity but is too subtle to accurately characterize, suggest conservative imaging follow up if the patient remains symptomatic.3. Mosaic attenuation of the lung parenchyma in a pattern suggesting small airways disease. In addition, the proximal segmental airways are focally narrowed by adjacent enlarged central pulmonary vasculature.4. Severe enlargement of the left cardiac chambers. One of the ICD weld is positioned in the pulmonary outflow tract just below the level of the pulmonic valve.5. Pulmonary micronodules are too small to characterize but probably benign. These may be followed by CT in one year if the patient is in a high risk category.6. Signs of pulmonary hypertension.

Heel wound. Rule out "osteo". There is a soft tissue defect along the posterior aspect of the heel presumably representing the known wound. Overall, the bones appear demineralized, suggesting osteopenia/osteoporosis, but I see no focal osteolysis to confirm osteomyelitis. Moderate to severe osteoarthritis affects the first metatarsophalangeal joint. There is poorly defined bandlike sclerosis traversing the proximal diaphysis of the fifth metatarsal with adjacent periosteal reaction suggestive of a healing fracture (perhaps a stress fracture). Mild deformity of the fourth metatarsal head and neck is of uncertain etiology, but of doubtful current clinical significance. Arterial calcifications are noted in the soft tissues.
1.Heel wound without radiographic evidence of underlying osteomyelitis. If there is strong clinical concern for osteomyelitis, MRI may be considered.2.Findings suggestive of a healing (stress) fracture of the fifth metatarsal.

Motion artifact somewhat limits sensitivity. There are foci of restricted diffusion bilaterally in the centrum semiovale, the posterior body of the corpus callosum, the subinsular white matter on the left, and the deep white matter of the bilateral frontal lobes, compatible with small acute infarctions. There is scattered increased T2 signal corresponding to some of the areas of restricted diffusion. Other areas of patchy T2/FLAIR hyperintensity in the periventricular white matter are consistent with chronic small vessel ischemic disease. Foci of T2 hyperintensity are also noted in the anterior right insula, the right basal ganglia, and the central pons, without corresponding restricted diffusion, consistent with chronic lacunar infarctions. The ventricles and sulci are within normal limits. The basal cisterns remain patent. There is no midline shift or mass effect. No extra-axial fluid collection is identified. Normal flow-voids are demonstrated in the major intracranial vascular structures. The midline structures and craniocervical junction are within normal limits.

77-year-old female with known OA, persistent fungemia and left knee pain, concern for septic joint Right knee: There is relatively poor visualization of the soft tissues due to technical factors. Given these limitations, we see no erosions or radiographic features of septic arthritis. Moderate osteoarthritis affects the knee. A small lobulated focus of calcification within the distal femur likely represents an enchondroma. Left knee: There is relatively poor visualization of the soft tissues due to technical factors. There is a large joint effusion and we cannot exclude septic arthritis. No erosions are evident. Severe osteoarthritis affects the knee.
Large left knee joint effusion which is nonspecific, but we cannot exclude septic arthritis. Severe osteoarthritis without erosions.

The ventricles and sulci are within normal limits for age. There is no midline shift or mass effect. There is no intracranial hemorrhage. There are scattered punctate and confluent areas of abnormal low density in the periventricular and subcortical white matter, consistent with stable mild chronic small vessel ischemic changes. A known area of acute infarct in the right dorsal medulla demonstrated on subsequent MRI is not well appreciated on this CT exam. There are no areas of pathological enhancement. There is no extraaxial fluid collection, although the extra-axial space along the left greater frontal lobes is somewhat focally prominent although unchanged. The visualized portions of the paranasal sinuses and mastoids/middle ears are grossly clear. Calcification within the basal ganglia and dentate nuclei bilaterally is unchanged and may be age-related.

Evaluation is limited secondary to lack of IV contrast. The right eye appears proptotic. There is mild enlargement and a slightly heterogeneous appearance of the right inferior rectus muscle, with somewhat ill-defined margins and surrounding fat stranding, which is suggestive of acute myositis/postseptal orbital cellulitis. There is questionable mild inflammatory changes lateral to the right lacrimal gland. No focal retro-orbital mass/abscess is identified.Patient is status post enucleation of the left globe, which has been replaced by a spherical high-density foreign body. Ill-defined, nodular soft tissue density is present in the posterior and lateral portions of the left orbit, which causes mild mass effect on the left optic nerve, and may be postsurgical in nature given relative lack of associated inflammatory findings. There is relative asymmetric prominence of the left extraocular muscles, which may be secondary to postsurgical muscle retraction. There is a chronic-appearing defect of the right lamina papyracea, with extraconal fat projecting into the right superior ethmoid air cells. There is pansinus mucosal thickening, most significant in the maxillary sinuses where there is maxillary sinus wall thickening consistent with chronic sinusitis. Additionally, there are air-fluid levels in the left sphenoid, left frontal sinus, and bilateral maxillary sinuses, including complete opacification of the bilateral ostiomeatal units, concerning for acute sinusitis. Although there is significant opacification of the bilateral ethmoid air cells, there does not appear to be direct extension of inflammation into the medial right orbit. The right globe is proptotic.There is multifocal thinning of the nasal septum. There is moderate septal deviation to the right with a rightward projecting bone spur that contacts the right middle turbinate. There is bony irregularity of the anterior nasal bone as well as the nasal turbinates, most significantly the right middle turbinate. The left mastoid air cells are mildly under-pneumatized. Debris is present in the right external auditory canal.
1. Focal inflammation of the right inferior rectus is concerning for acute myositis/postseptal orbital cellulitis. The resultant mild mass effect is likely contributing to right proptosis. 2. Questionable additional inflammation in the right orbit lateral to the lacrimal gland.3. Chronic appearing bilateral maxillary sinusitis, with superimposed scattered other paranasal sinus opacification with air-fluid levels, for which clinical correlation for acute sinusitis is recommended.4. Chronic right lamina papyracea fracture.5. Ill-defined soft tissue density and prominent extraocular muscles in the left orbit are likely postsurgical in nature; comparison to prior studies is recommended if available.6. Multifocal thinning of the nasal septum and bony irregularity of the nasal turbinates. Findings conveyed to Dr. Aelaf Worku, MD by Dr. Purakal, via telephone on 1/31/15 at 12:10pm.
