“Step & Shoot” Cardiac Gated Ct For Detection Of Pulmonary Embolism: Technique And Advantages, Dinesh K. Sharma, Md

Department of Radiology Posters

Introduction

Pulmonary Embolism (PE) is a common condition with significant morbidity and mortality. Prompt recognition, diagnosis and management is important, as untreated PE complications are high; also treatment with long term anticoagulation has serious complications.

Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Presenting As Li-Rads 5 "Hcc", Raja K. Dhanekula, Md, Donald Mitchell, Md, John Farber, Md, Ashwin R. Sama, Md, Jesse M. Civan, Md

Background

• Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), if within Milan Criteria, is an indication for liver transplantation.

• In contrast, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCC) is a contra-indication to liver transplantation due to high rates of recurrence.

• LI-RADS 5 classification (synonymous with OPTN-5) carries a near 100% positive predictive value for HCC, allowing prioritization of patients for liver transplantation without histological confirmation.

• The “LI-RADS M” classification indicates the presence of malignancy not meeting diagnostic criteria for HCC. In theory, IHCC lesions should be identified as LI-RADS M and not LI-RADS 5.

Development Of A Temperature Sensitive Face Mask For Identification And Triage Of Febrile Patients, Annemarie Daecher, Flemming Forsberg, John R. Eisenbrey

Department of Radiology Posters

Abstract:

Many infectious diseases are most transmittable when the carrier is presenting with fever. We propose a disposable face mask that changes color as an indicator of fever to provide hospitals with a quick and inexpensive method for triaging infected patients while limiting exposure to others. Two blue thermochromatic dyes which transition to white at 89°F and 92°F were mixed with white paint and applied to 5 types of disposable face masks. During trials, a wearer either sat at rest or ran on a treadmill for 20 minutes and images were obtained every 5 minutes with a thermal camera to …
