Q

Kidneys:
* What type of organ?
* What do you see on IVU?
* What is the modality of choice in most GU imaging?

A
  • Kidneys are retroperitoneal
  • Normal IVU (intravenous urogram) on KUB excretory phase and horseshoe kidney on CT
  • CT with contrast is the diagnostic modality of choice in most GU imaging.

Renal Parenchymal Disease:
* What does it involve?
* Could start with what imaging? BUT what is the study of study?

A
  • Involves Cortex and Medulla

Q

Hematuria:
* What does the patient ned?
* What are the pre-renal, renal and post renal cause?
* What do you need to consider and why?

A
  • Patients with gross or microscopic hematuria need thorough workup.
  • Identify typical pre-renal, renal and post-renal causes
    – Pre-renal: Vascular trauma, septicemia, purpura hemorrhagica, hemophilia
    – Renal: Acute GN, renal infarct/embolism, ATN, RCC and pyelonephritis (RARA P)
    – Post-renal: cystitis, urolithiasis, malignancy, fistula (F CUM)
  • Always consider smoking history because it will increase bladder cancer

Ultrasound of scrotum and testes

57
Q

Mammography:

* Mammography can detect what?
* Mammography cannot rule out what though?

A
  • Breast cancer is the leading cause of non-preventable cancer death in women
  • Mammography can detect the presence of early breast cancer at the non-palpable stage
  • Mammography cannot rule out breast cancer in a patient with a palpable mass or other abnormality on clinical
    examination (mammography can rule in cancer, but it cannot rule it out)
58
Q

Mammography:
* Screening mammograph is performed when?
* Diagnostic mammography (problem- solving mammography) is performed when?
* When should mammogram?

A
  • Screening mammography is performed on asymptomatic women to detect unsuspecting cancer at an early age
  • Diagnostic mammography (problem-solving mammography) is performedtoevaluate abnormal clinicalfindings
  • There is general agreement that all women over the age of 50 should have bi-annual screening mammograms(some sources sayover 40).
59
Q
  • Mammography is the modality of choice in who?
  • Ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice for who?
  • Women aged 30-39 could what?
A
60
Q
  • What is negative predictive value?
  • What is the sensitivy and specificity for breast cancer detection? What is the percentage of pos and neg predictive vaule?
A
  • Negative predictive value of combined mammography and sonographyin patients with focal/ diffuse breast pain but without highly suspicious exam findings is nearly 100%.
  • sensitivity for breast cancer detection was 92.0% and the specificity 97.7%. A positive predictive value of 68.0%, a negative predictive value of 99.6%.
61
Q

A
69
Q

BIRADS: (Breast Imaging Reporting andData System)defines five type of margins, what are they ⭐️

A
  • Circumscribed: Circumscribed margins are well defined and sharply demarcated with an abrupt transition between the lesion and the surrounding tissue.
  • Obscured: Obscured margins are hidden by superimposed or adjacent normal tissue
  • Micro-lobulated: Microlobulatedmargins have small undulating circles along the edge of the mass
  • Ill-defined: Ill-defined margins are poorly defined and scattered.
  • Spiculate: Spiculatedmargins are marked by radiating thin lines.
70
Q

A
71
Q

What does this show?

A

A spiculated, dense mass especially when not palpated is
almost always carcinoma.

Q

Value of Ultrasound when you are seeing a middle aged female with breat pain? What can be the diagnosis?

A
73
Q

What is this?

A

Skin Calcifications
* Skin calcifications have a typical lucent center and polygonal shape. Although skin calcifications are not in the breast parenchyma, they may project as such on a mammogram.

74
Q

What is this?

A

Vascular Calcifications
* Vascular calcifications can be seen as parallel tracks or linear tubular calcifications that run along a blood vessel.

75
Q

What is this? What disease is it found in?

Coarse or Popcorn-like Calcifications
* These calcifications are typically found in involuting
fibroadenomas
. Fibroadenomas usually regress with menopause and microcalcifications will develop into coarse macrocacifications.
