Generate impression based on findings. | Medullary thyroid carcinoma on clinical trial, history of pneumothorax, follow up examination for assessment of response CHEST:LUNGS AND PLEURA: There are persistent, widespread bilateral pulmonary micronodules, predominantly confluent. The reference conglomerate identified from the prior study has not significantly changed, measuring 35 x 25 mm on coronal image 28/57 ( 28 x 36 mm previous).The left pneumothorax has slightly increased, appearing to have further retracted from the chest wall.MEDIASTINUM AND HILA: The reference right paratracheal node currently measures 8 x 13 mm on image 34/153 (14 x 9 mm on previous). The right thyroid lesion (6/153) and right jugular lymphadenopathy (5/153) are unchanged.Stable calcified left hilar nodes.

This extends beyond the hepatic contour and is concerning for metastasis rather than hemangioma. The previous described low density, ill-defined lesion is again noted in the posterior hepatic lobe (81/153), also suspicious for metastasis.SPLEEN: No significant abnormality notedKIDNEYS, URETERS: No significant abnormality notedADRENAL GLANDS: No significant abnormality notedPANCREAS: There is prominence of the pancreatic head which currently measures 34 mm in AP dimension on image 124/153.

Further evaluation of this and of the hepatic lesions may be obtained with a dedicated MRI or triphasic CT abdomen.No intraperitoneal ascites appreciated.BOWEL, MESENTERY: No significant abnormality noted. | 1. Metastatic thyroid carcinoma, predominantly stable.2. Arterially enhancing lesion in posterior hepatic lobe. Enlarging soft tissue density in the region of the pancreatic head.

Generate impression based on findings. | 77-year-old female. Right shoulder pain. ROTATOR CUFF: Thickening and increased signal intensity of the supraspinatus tendon indicating moderate tendinosis. The articular surface fibers are slightly indistinct, which may reflect undersurface fraying. Fluid signal intensity within the anterior aspect of the tendon at its insertion on the greater tuberosity indicates an interstitial tear that involves the majority of the thickness of the tendon and is under just 1 cm in AP dimension. We suspect that this is a concealed tear, but a small amount of fluid in the adjacent subdeltoid bursa raises the possibility of a small tear of the adjacent bursal surface fibers. The supraspinatus muscle appears normal. The tendinosis extends posteriorly to involve the anterior fibers of the infraspinatus, but we see no definite infraspinatus tendon tear. The infraspinatus muscle is intact. The muscle and tendon of the teres minor and subscapularis are intact.SUPRASPINATUS OUTLET: Moderate osteoarthritis affects the acromioclavicular joint with spurring of the anterior aspect of the acromion. There is a small amount of fluid in the subacromial/subdeltoid bursa. A lobulated collection of fluid signal intensity along the posterolateral aspect of the humeral head at the infraspinatus insertion may reflect a loculated fluid in the subdeltoid bursa or a small cyst.GLENOHUMERAL JOINT AND GLENOID LABRUM: Small glenohumeral joint effusion. Alignment of the glenohumeral joint is anatomic. There is increased signal intensity within the anterior labrum suggestive of degeneration; the labrum otherwise appears normal considering the patient's age. Small cysts in the greater tuberosity anteriorly likely reflect overlying rotator cuff pathology. Small cysts posteriorly in the humeral head may not be of any clinical significance.BICEPS TENDON: Increased signal intensity within the long head of the biceps tendon suggests mild tendinosis. Fluid within the biceps tendon sheath may simply reflect extension of fluid from the glenohumeral joint.ADDITIONAL | Moderate tendinosis of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus with partial thickness insertional tearing of the anterior fibers of the supraspinatus tendon and other findings, as described above. |

Generate impression based on findings. | Malignant neoplasm of pelvis [C76.3] / Personal history of antineoplastic chemotherapy [Z92.21], Reason for Study: ^Reason: history of sacral teratoma (recurrent), treated with resection, chemotherapy and radiation. History: worsening back pain Subtle enhancing areas of the soft tissue at the level of lower sacral area indicating postoperative scar changes which are not completely included with current scan. In addition, comparing to outside MRI scan performed on July 2, 2016, the low signal intensity lesion around the left obturator foramen is not covered either.Therefore, this scan needs to be repeated without additional charge for complete evaluation of the postoperative status of sacrococcygeal lesion (known as teratoma).For the purpose of this dictation, the vertebral body demonstrates costochondral junction is labeled T12. Inhomogeneous MR signal intensities of sacrum and bilateral iliac bones may represent post radiation changes. There is no evidence of associated soft tissue mass. There is normal lumbar lordosis. The spine alignment is anatomic. The vertebral body height is preserved. The signal of the visualized cord is normal.

The major vascular intracranial flow voids are preserved at the skull base, compatible with gross patency. The paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are grossly clear.MRA neck: Postcontrast MRA images are nondiagnostic due to patient motion and difficulty with bolus delivery. A noncontrast time-of-flight MRA sequence was attempted. This, however, is also corrected by artifact and not reliable for interpretation. | 1. Findings compatible with acute infarcts in the bilateral frontal lobes and left anterior parietal lobe. Suggestion of petechial hemorrhage or cortical laminar necrosis in the right frontal infarct region without gross hemorrhagic conversion. 2. Large chronic infarcts in the right cerebral hemisphere and multiple small infarcts in the right cerebellar hemisphere and pons are redemonstrated.3. Nondiagnostic MRA of the neck.I personally reviewed the Images and/or procedure with the Resident/Fellow and agree with this report. |

Cystic encephalomalacia is present in the left frontal lobe.3.Subdural fluid collections are present along the right lateral temporal lobe and along the right cerebral hemisphere. Blood product is seen layering along the cerebellar hemispheres adjacent to the transverse sinuses.

However, the possibility of sinus thrombosis or occlusion cannot be excluded.4.A germinal matrix hemorrhage is demonstrated on the left with intraventricular extension. Blood product is seen within the left frontal horn, and at the foramen of Magendie. Blood product and/or purulent material may also be present layering within the occipital horns. 5.Most or all of the above findings can be accounted for by a combination of prematurity and intracranial infection.
