Metastatic Liver

AbstractTransabdominal ultrasonography, contrast-enhanced computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the common diagnostic tests for the detection of hepatic lesions. Use of enhanced and advanced MRI technique, that is, diffusion weighted MRI and hepatocyte-specific contrast agents, has further improved the accuracy of detection of metastatic liver lesions ≤10 mm in diameter. However, even with these advanced imaging modalities sensitivity is low for lesions smaller than 10 mm when compared with standard intraoperative ultrasound. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is an emerging imaging modality with resolution sufficient to detect and sample lesions as small as 5 mm in diameter. In this news and views, we have discussed the role of standard and enhanced EUS for the detection of metastatic liver lesions.

Abstract New research has addressed many of the early concerns of Computed Tomographic colonography (CTC) and these studies are now beginning to shape clinical practices. A review of the literature demonstrates that the sensitivity of CTC in screening for large polyps (≥ 1cm) or cancers in the large intestine is as high as that of conventional optical colonoscopy, however, the sensitivity decreases with the diameter of the polyp. Despite this, CTC is well tolerated, more acceptable to patients than optical colonoscopy and therefore may improve colorectal cancer screening compliance. This review not only describes the diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity of CTC, and the evolving role of CTC as a primary colon cancer screening option, but also the recent studies that have demonstrated the additional value of CTC utilization for practicing clinicians.

Radiographic documentation of the rapid development of an aortic infection has not previously been reported. We report the case of a 68-year-old woman who presented with back pain. A computed tomographic(CT) scan documented a nondisplaced L1 compression fracture as well as an atherosclerotic but nonaneurysmal aorta. Two weeks after discharge, she developed left lower lobe pneumonia and was readmitted. A second CT scan was obtained because of continuous complaints of back pain. A contained rupture of the visceral aorta was now clearly visible. Emergent operation successfully repaired her aorta. The microorganisms responsible for aortic infection have changed since the widespread use of antibiotics. Patterns of aortic involvement have also evolved. The difficulty in making these diagnoses, the role of current antibiotic therapy, and the surgical options for these infections will be discussed.
