BACKGROUND: Discomfort characterized by pain and warmth are common adverse effects associated with the use of intra-arterial iodinated contrast media (CM). The objective of this review was to pool patient-reported outcomes available from head-to-head randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and to compare the discomfort rates associated with iso-osmolar contrast media (IOCM; i.e., iodixanol) to those reported with various low-osmolar contrast media (LOCM).

METHODS: A review of the literature published between 1990 and 2009 available through Medline, Medline Preprints, Embase, Biological Abstracts, BioBase, Cab Abstracts, International Pharmaceutical Abstracts, Life Sciences Collection, Inside Conferences, Energy Database, Engineering Index and Technology Collection was performed …

We present the clinical presentation, sonography, CT, and MR imaging as well as correlative intra-operative and gross pathological findings of ovarian torsion in a 14-year-old girl. Our findings are discussed in the context of prior imaging studies performed for the evaluation of ovarian torsion. Ovarian torsion is not an uncommon cause of acute abdominal pain in children and teenage girls. Diagnosis of this entity can be difficult based on clinical presentation or on imaging appearance alone.
