Abdominal involvement in tuberculosis.

Rising incidence of disseminated and extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB), especially in immunocompromised hosts and patients with multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis, has resulted in an increase of unusual clinical and radiographic presentations of TB. With CT being a common part of emergency room (ER) evaluation of abdominal pain, it is imperative that radiologists be able to recognize abdominal presentations of TB. We discuss and illustrate typical and less common CT manifestations of tuberculosis in the abdomen to help ER radiologists in this task.

Cross-sectional imaging of amyloidosis: an organ system-based approach.

Systemic amyloidosis--whether primary or secondary--can involve any organ or organ system and imparts significant morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, imaging findings are only rarely specific, manifesting in a variety of ways (e.g., mass-like lesions, micronodular or diffusely infiltrative process). Sensitivity can be improved by being familiar with these varied image manifestations of amyloidosis and aware of the patient's medical history, because there is a significant association between this and other systemic diseases.

Hemodialysis fistula occlusion: demonstration with 64-slice CT angiography.

The speed and resolution of 64-slice CT have resulted in new applications for CT angiography (CTA) owing to rapid data acquisition during the arterial phase, improved visualization of small vessels, and lengthened anatomic coverage. Extremity CT angiography is one such region. This case report shows the utility of multislice CTA for the evaluation of hemodialysis graft dysfunction.

Amyloidosis: review and CT manifestations.

Amyloidosis is a collection of disease entities that produce considerable morbidity and mortality and are increasing in prevalence. The imaging findings are problematically nonspecific and diverse. This lack of specificity is compounded by the fact that amyloidosis is strongly associated with and frequently coexists with many other chronic disease states that have their own imaging findings. Amyloidosis can involve any organ singly or in conjunction with other organs and can do so in the form of a focal, tumorlike lesion or an infiltrative process. In the proper clinical setting, that is, in a patient with chronic inflammatory disease and especially in a patient with multiple myeloma, amyloidosis should be considered as a possible cause of worsening or new symptoms or imaging findings. Occasionally, the radiologic findings may precede the clinical findings, thus providing the radiologist with the opportunity to contribute to the patient's care. However, to make a difference in patient care, the radiologist must be familiar with the diverse imaging findings of amyloidosis as well as the patient's clinical history, which could raise the suspicion of amyloidosis.
