        Secondary Tumors of the Urinary System: An Imaging Conundrum

        Ali Devrim Karaosmanoglu,Mehmet Ruhi Onur,Musturay Karcaaltincaba,Deniz Akata,Mustafa Nasuh Ozmen 대한영상의학회 2018 Korean Journal of Radiology Vol.19 No.4

        Imaging features of metastases to the urinary system may closely mimic primary urinary tract tumors, and differential diagnosis by imaging alone may be problematic or even impossible in some cases. The main purpose of this article was to amiliarize radiologists with imaging findings of metastasis to the urinary system on cross-sectional imaging, with an emphasis on abdominal and pelvic computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. In addition, we review the clinical importance and implications of metastases to the urinary tract and provide information on diagnostic work-ups.

        The Impact of Warmed Intravenous Contrast Material on the Bolus Geometry of Coronary CT Angiography Applications

        Tuncay Hazirolan,Baris Turkbey,Erhan Akpinar,Murat Canyigit,Musturay Karcaaltincaba,Bora Peynircioglu,Z. Dicle Balkanci,Deniz Akata,Ferhun Balkanci 대한영상의학회 2009 Korean Journal of Radiology Vol.10 No.2

        Objective: This study was designed to investigate the effect of administration of warmed contrast material (CM) on the bolus geometry and enhancement as depicted on coronary CT angiography. Materials and Methods: A total of 64 patients (42 men, 22 women; mean age, 56 years) were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 included 32 patients administered CM (Omnipaque [Iohexol] 350 mg I/ mL; Nycomed, Princeton, NJ) saline solutions kept in an incubator at a constant temperature (37℃). Group 2 included 32 patients administered the CM saline solutions kept at constant room temperature (24℃). Cardiac CT scans were performed with a dual source computed tomography (DSCT) scanner. For each group, region of interest curves were plotted inside the ascending aorta, main pulmonary artery and descending aorta on test bolus images. Using enhancement values, time/enhancement diagrams were produced for each vessel. On diagrams, basal Hounsfield unit (HU) values were subtracted from sequentially obtained values. A value of 100 HU was accepted as a cut-off value for the beginning of opacification. The time to peak, the time required to reach 100 HU opacification, maximum enhancement and duration of enhancement above 100 HU were noted. DSCT angiography studies were evaluated for coronary vessel enhancement. Results: Maximum enhancement values in the ascending aorta, descending aorta and main pulmonary artery were significantly higher in group 1 subjects. In the ascending aorta, the median time required to reach 100 HU opacification during the test bolus analysis was significantly shorter for group 2 subjects than for group 1 subjects. In the ascending aorta, the descending aorta and main pulmonary artery, for group 1 subjects, the bolus geometry curve shifted to the left and upwards as compared with the bolus geometry curve for group 2 subjects. Conclusion: The use of warmed CM yields higher enhancement values and a shorter time to reach maximum enhancement duration, resulting in a shift of the bolus geometry curve to the left that may provide optimized image quality.
