Primum Non Nocere

I do not own the rights of these photos. Have fun studying!.. =)

radiologysigns:

Pancoast tumour - a primary lung cancer that arises in the lung apex and invades soft tissues such as the brachial plexus. Although classically these tumours present with Pancoast syndrome (shoulder pain, C8 to T1 radiculopathy, Horner’s syndrome) this only occurs in approximately 25% of cases. The lung apex is an important check area on chest radiographs. Any density difference between the left and right is suspicious. CT in this case confirms a lung mass invading adjacent soft tissues and destroying the second rib.

This is infective endocarditis. The aortic valve demonstrates a large, irregular, reddish tan vegetation.Virulent organisms, such as Staphylococcus aureus, produce an “acute” bacterial endocarditis, while some organisms such as Streptococcus viridans produce a “subacute” bacterial endocarditis.

Hepatojugular reflux

when you press the pt’s abdomen (over the liver), jugular venous distension greater than 3 cm is observed. 

the conditions include ; 

  • right-sided heart failure
  • Tricuspid Regurgitation
  • Tricuspid stenosis
  • Constrictive pericarditis
Acute myocardial infarction. Two-chamber T2W STIR image (A) in a 34-year-old male with acute chest pain, elevated cardiac enzymes, and ST segment elevation, shows high signal in the mid and apical anterior segments of the left ventricle (arrows) consistent with myocardial edema. Two-chamber phase-sensitive inversion-recovery (PSIR) image (B) in the same patient shows subendocardial scar in the mid and apical anterior segments (arrows). Note that the scarred area is less than the edematous area and this difference is the “area at risk/salvageable myocardium”
