Pediatric dose reduction in computed tomography.

30 Oct 2008 An appropriate balance between risk (radiation dose) and benefit (based on image quality) for computed tomography (CT) in children is essential. This balance comes through an understanding of CT dose, why we do pediatric CT, and how we do pediatric ... Read more...

Use of a percutaneous septal occlusion device to exclude a juxta-renal pseudoaneurysm of the abdominal aorta.

30 Oct 2008 Abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon, but challenging condition. The most common etiologies are either trauma or iatrogenic repair via open surgery, endovascular aortic cuff, and exclusion via placement of coils has been described. We ... Read more...

Pulmonary artery sarcoma mimicking a pulmonary artery aneurysm.

29 Sep 2008 Pulmonary artery sarcoma is an uncommon neoplasm, and its clinical and radiological presentation usually simulates chronic thromboembolic disease. We present the case of a 77-year-old woman admitted with dyspnea, chest pain, and hemoptysis. A chest ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Aneurysm, False'

Definition: Not an aneurysm but a well-defined collection of blood and CONNECTIVE TISSUE outside the wall of a blood vessel or the heart. It is the containment of a ruptured blood vessel or heart, such as sealing a rupture of the left ventricle. False aneurysm is formed by organized THROMBUS and HEMATOMA in surrounding tissue.
