Generate impression based on findings. | Female, 81 years old, with a left parotid mass. An ill-defined lesion is evident within the left parotid gland occupying primarily the deep lobe and a small portion of the superficial lobe. The lesion measures at least 21 x 14 mm (image 30 series 701), and does seem to extend slightly through the stylomandibular canal.On T1-weighted images, the lesion is relatively isointense to skeletal muscle. On T2-weighted images, the lesion is very heterogeneous with portions which are hyperintense and other portions which are very hypointense potentially suggesting blood product. The lesion enhances in an ill-defined infiltrative manner with relative hypoenhancement centrally.Please note that microscopy coil images were attempted, but these were technically suboptimal. Spectroscopy of the lesion was also attempted as requested. The resulting spectrum (not shown) was dominated by a lipid peak which probably represents unavoidable inclusion of normal fatty tissue within the voxel. As such, the spectrum provided no additional diagnostic information. Likewise, relative cerebral blood volume mapping is noncontributory.There appear to be small cystic lesions elsewhere within the left parotid gland and within the right parotid gland of uncertain significance. The submandibular glands are unremarkable. The thyroid is only partially visualized.A mildly prominent left jugulodigastric lymph node is seen measuring 13 x 6 mm (image 19 series 701). No pathologic adenopathy is detected in the visualized neck by size criteria.The airway is patent and unremarkable. The osseous structures show normal signal intensity. On limited visualization of the intracranial compartment only minimal nonspecific periventricular T2 hyperintensity is seen. | An infiltrative masslike lesion is identified within the left parotid gland occupying primarily the deep lobe with mild involvement of the superficial lobe. The lesion extends slightly through the stylomandibular canal.The signal characteristics of the lesion are quite heterogeneous, particularly on the T2-weighted images, where there are components which appear to contain blood product. This could reflect intrinsic lesional hemorrhage or the effect of prior biopsy.No definite pathologic adenopathy is seen in the neck, though there is a slightly prominent left jugulodigastric lymph node.The differential diagnosis for this parotid lesion would include a primary parotid tumor. Imaging is not capable of distinguishing between benign and malignant etiologies, but the ill-defined and infiltrative appearance of this lesion is worrisome. |

Generate impression based on findings. | Again seen is an Ommaya catheter with tip in the lateral aspect of the lateral ventricle. Again seen is a CSF signal intensity collection surrounding the catheter which is slightly larger measuring approximately 4.4 x 2.7 cm, previously 3.0 x 2.0 cm, but with near resolution of surrounding vasogenic edema. There is mild interval decrease in size of the ventricular system. Periventricular FLAIR hyperintensity which may have represented transependymal flow has also decreased.There is no discrete intracranial mass, midline shift, or herniation. Partially empty sella is again seen which can be normal variant but appears slightly less prominent than before.No abnormal mass within the orbits is appreciated. There is enhancement surrounding the optic nerve sheaths bilaterally, similar to prior. Distended optic nerve sheaths are again seen, perhaps slightly less prominent the interval. Previously seen bulging at the optic nerve head/papilledema also no longer appreciated. Evidence of left-sided intraocular lens replacement. No signal abnormality within the optic nerves. Left maxillary mucus retention cyst and minimal mucosal thickening in the ethmoid sinuses. There is heterogeneous low T1 marrow signal involving the calvarium including enhancement of the clivus which appears similar to multiple prior studies. No new osseous destruction; the finding may represent posttreatment change.CERVICAL SPINE | 1. There is no evidence of progressive disease in the brain or spine. No new mass or new focus of abnormal parenchymal or meningeal enhancement. 2. There is mild decrease in size of the ventricular system compared to 9/1/2015 and decrease in periventricular FLAIR hyperintensity, findings which are favored to represent improvement in hydrocephalus with decreased transependymal CSF flow. Previously seen papilledema is also no longer evident and the partially empty sella also appears slightly less prominent; these findings are subtle but suggest improvement in intracranial hypotension and can be correlated with clinical findings. 3. CSF signal intensity fluid collection in the right frontal lobe surrounding the Ommaya catheter is slightly larger, but previously seen surrounding vasogenic edema has nearly resolved.4. There is no significant change in abnormal enhancement surrounding the optic nerve sheaths which is nonspecific and may be related to perineuritis, possibly from treatment-related change or possibly related to known leptomeningeal disease. No new nodular enhancement or mass in the orbits is appreciated to definitively suggest this represents lymphomatous involvement.5. Diffuse enhancement involving the cauda equina nerve roots remains unchanged across multiple prior studies and may represent treated leptomeningeal disease. No new nodular enhancement involving the cauda equina nerve roots or elsewhere in the spine to suggest worsening leptomeningeal disease. No epidural tumor.6. Enhancement involving the clivus as well as patchy enhancement involving the bilateral iliac bones are nonspecific but also remain unchanged across multiple prior studies. |

Generate impression based on findings. | 60 year-old female with history of medial joint line tenderness. Evaluation of the proximal tibia is limited due to metal susceptibility artifact from intramedullary rod which is incompletely imaged on this study.MENISCI: There is attenuation of the body and posterior horn of the medial meniscus. In particular, there is very little meniscal tissue identified near the root. In the absence of prior meniscectomy, this represents a radial root tear with additional attritional tearing of the remaining posterior horn and body. Alternatively, these findings may be due to prior meniscectomy. There is linear signal abnormality within the posterior horn of the medial meniscus which extends to the articular surface. In absence of prior surgery, this represent a tear, although this also could simply represent residual degenerative signal from prior partial meniscectomy.ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There are severe degenerative changes of the articular cartilage of the medial tibial-femoral compartment with areas that are devoid of cartilage. There are small foci of signal abnormality in the underlying bone, likely degenerative in etiology. There are a few small foci of signal abnormality within the medial femoral condyle which could conceivably represent tiny regions of avascular necrosis, but this is equivocal. There is near full thickness articular cartilage degeneration of the lateral femoral condyle above the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus. There is also severe osteoarthritis of the patellofemoral joint with areas along the medial facet of the patella which are devoid of cartilage. There are tricompartmental osteophytes.LIGAMENTS: The fibers of the ACL are indistinct. The distal fibers of what may be the ACL extend to a focus of signal abnormality within the anterior aspect of the joint that we believe corresponds to an ossicle seen on recent radiographs. This constellation of findings may represent a chronic ACL avulsion injury from the tibial plateau. The PCL, MCL, and LCL are intact.EXTENSOR MECHANISM: The quadriceps tendon is intact. There is thickening of the medial aspect of the patellar tendon which may reflect tendinosis or scarring from prior surgery.ADDITIONAL | 1.Severe osteoarthritic changes as described above.2.Small foci of signal abnormality within the medial femoral condyle may conceivably represent tiny foci of avascular necrosis, but this is equivocal.3.Postoperative changes as above.4.Medial meniscal abnormalities as described above which may reflect prior partial meniscectomy, but we cannot exclude the possibility of a tear.5.Possible chronic avulsion injury of the ACL off the tibial plateau.6.Thickening of the patellar tendon which may be postoperative or degenerative in etiology. |

Generate impression based on findings. | Clinical question: Evaluate for abscess. Signs and symptoms: Fever status post thoracic procedure. Pre-and post-enhanced thoracic MRI:Examination demonstrates the new small likely postoperative epidural collection measuring approximately 13 times 15 mm in transaxial dimensions. It applied very subtle mass effect on the dorsal aspect of thecal sac and with resultant minimal forward deviation of the cord. Post-enhanced images demonstrate expected enhancement of the soft tissues posterior to the surgical multi-level laminectomy and including tissues surrounding the epidural collection. This appearance is within expected postoperative findings. Possibility of overlapping infection cannot be entirely excluded. There is no detectable abnormal enhancement of the cord or the leptomeninges.Compared to prior exam there is evidence of decreased cord caliber however without change in the extent of T2 hyperintensity of the cord (edema) which extends from T3 inferiorly to approximate the the conus. Decreased cord caliber results in better visualization of subarachnoid space throughout the thoracic spine.Also new since prior exam is a thin linear T2 hypointensity traversing the cord from approximately T8 -- T9 disk level inferiorly and appears to exit the thecal sac posteriorly at T9 -- T10 disk level. Finding is believed to represent a surgically placed device/drain. Correlate with surgical notes. The appropriateness of its placement should be decided by the referring clinical physician. | 1.Small epidural collection posteriorly at T9 and T10 with surrounding soft tissue enhancement is within expected postop change.
