Intracranial lipomas are described as a rare finding. In this small retrospective analysis of 50 cases undergoing brain CT for various reasons small intracranial lipomas where found in nine patients. In contrast to previous reports lipomas may be a frequent finding on CT imaging of the brain. In particular, these small lipomas seem to be incidental findings lacking clinical relevance. Radiologists should be aware of intracranial lipomas to establish proper differential diagnosis.

Brain Ct

This is the first documented case of time-resolved (4D) intra-aortic whole-brain CTA reported in the literature for a newly diagnosed AVM. This was performed simultaneously as part of a catheter cerebral angiography with both planar and CT imaging, in the hybrid interventional radiology/CT suite. The described technique is unique in that intra-aortic injection of diluted contrast was utilized to obtain the time-resolved CTA image of the whole brain.

ObjectiveTo evaluate procedure utilization patterns for vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty in the US Medicare population from 2004 to 2014.MethodsThe analysis was performed using the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services database of specialty utilization files for the fee for service (FFS) Medicare population.ResultsThe FFS Medicare population increased by 28% with an annual increase of 2.5% from 2004 to 2014. Utilization of vertebroplasty procedures decreased by 63% with an average annual decrease of 9.5% from 2004 to 2014 per 100 000 FFS Medicare beneficiaries. During the same time period, kyphoplasty procedures decreased by a total of 10%, with an average annual decrease of 1.3%. For augmentation generally (combined vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty data) there was thus an overall decrease in the rate per 100 000 Medicare population of 32% from 2004 to 2014, with an average annual decrease of 4.8%. The majority of vertebroplasty procedures were performed by radiologists whereas the majority of kyphoplasties were performed by orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons.ConclusionsThere has been a significant decline in vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty procedures in the FFS Medicare population between 2004 and 2014.
