IV contrast: ProHance, 12 ml, per protocol. FINDINGS: No abnormal restricted diffusion. No significant abnormal T2 or FLAIR signal. The ventricles are normal in size without midline shift. Basal cisterns are maintained. Expected vascular flow voids are unremarkable. The midline structures are unremarkable. No tonsillar ectopia or other herniation. No abnormal susceptibility signal dropout. Within the extra-axial space along the superior/anterior right frontal lobe a prominent cystic structure is noted which follows CSF signal on all sequences. No associated peripheral or internal enhancement. There is mild associated mass effect on the underlying parenchyma of the right frontal lobe. No abnormal marrow signal. The middle ears, mastoid air cells, and paranasal sinuses are clear. The orbits and globes are unremarkable. No significant soft tissue abnormality. CONCLUSION: Arachnoid cyst overlying the right frontal lobe with mild associated mass effect on the underlying parenchyma. Otherwise no acute intracranial process is identified. As the attending physician, I have personally reviewed the images, interpreted and/or supervised the study or procedure, and agree with the wording of the above report.

TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar, multisequence MR images of the lumbar spine were obtained without the administration of intravenous contrast. FINDINGS: The lumbar spine is normal in alignment. Again seen are Modic type II degenerative endplate changes at the superior and inferior endplates of the L5 vertebral body. There is progressive Schmorl's node formation noted at T12 and L1. Vertebral osseous hemangiomas are again seen at T12 and L1 in addition to T10. The conus appears normal terminating at the level T12-L1. Additional findings are given on a segmental basis: T12-L1: Mild facet arthropathy. No spinal canal stenosis or neural foraminal narrowing. L1-L2: No spinal canal stenosis or neural foraminal narrowing appreciated. L2-L3: There is a broad-based posterior disc bulge which results in mild narrowing of the thecal sac without appreciable nerve root compression. Bilateral facet arthropathy is noted, though there is no significant neural foraminal narrowing. L3-L4: There is a broad-based posterior disc bulge resulting in moderate spinal canal stenosis which is slightly worsened at this level compared to the prior examination, and is contributed to by bilateral facet arthropathy and ligamentum flavum hypertrophy additionally, there is mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. L4-L5: There is a broad-based posterior disc bulge at this level which results in mild to moderate spinal canal stenosis, contributed to by bilateral facet arthropathy and ligamentum flavum hypertrophy. These changes also result in mild bilateral neural foraminal stenosis. There is a left subarticular focal disc extrusion impinging left L5 nerve root. L5-S1: There is a broad-based posterior disc bulge which does not significantly narrow the thecal sac. Bilateral facet arthropathy is present resulting in mild right neural foraminal narrowing. Limited evaluation of the intra-abdominal structures shows a simple appearing right renal cyst, otherwise unremarkable. The paraspinal musculature is within normal limits. CONCLUSION: 1. Progressive degenerative changes of the lumbar spine with slight interval worsening of moderate spinal canal stenosis seen at L3-L4 and relatively unchanged mild to moderate spinal canal stenosis at L4-L5. 2. Left subarticular focal disc extrusion at L4-L5 impinging left L5 nerve root. As the attending physician, I have personally reviewed the images, interpreted and/or supervised the study or procedure, and agree with the wording of the above report.

MR Lumbar Spine wo+w contrast 1/28/2022 6:00 PM CLINICAL INFORMATION: Bone neoplasm, LS-spine, recurrence suspected, M51.26 Other intervertebral disc displacement, lumbar region, C67.9 Malignant neoplasm of bladder, unspecified COMPARISON: Prior MR lumbar spine 3/18/2005. TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar, multisequence MR images of the lumbar spine were obtained before and after the administration of intravenous contrast. Patient weight: 255 lbs. IV contrast injection rate: 0.50 ml per sec. FINDINGS: There is mild anterolisthesis of L3 over L4 and mild retrolisthesis of L5 over S1. These findings are new since the prior examination. Vertebral body heights are maintained. There is severe disc height loss at L5-S1. There are mixed Modic type III and Modic type I degenerative endplate changes at the level of L4-L5 mostly along the anterior and right lateral aspect, where there is a broad-based anterior disc bulge which is significantly progressed since the prior examination. This region also demonstrates enhancement along both vertebral endplates in a somewhat peripheral distribution, with some enhancement along the anterior longitudinal ligament. No other abnormal enhancing region is identified. No definite enhancement of the intervertebral disc. The conus is unremarkable, terminating at the level of L1. Additional findings given on a segmental basis as below: T12-L1: There is a broad-based posterior disc bulge, ligamentum flavum hypertrophy, and facet arthropathy which do not result in significant spinal canal stenosis at this level. No neural foraminal narrowing. L1-L2: There is a broad-based posterior disc bulge which preferentially narrows the left lateral recess. There is mild facet arthropathy, and these findings contribute to mild spinal canal stenosis at this level. Additionally, there is mild left neural foraminal narrowing. L2-L3: There is a broad-based posterior disc bulge, ligamentum flavum hypertrophy, and facet arthropathy which results in mild to moderate spinal canal stenosis. These findings also contribute to mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. L3-L4: Mild anterolisthesis of L3 over L4 is noted with a broad-based posterior disc bulge, ligamentum flavum hypertrophy, and facet arthropathy which results in moderate spinal canal stenosis at this level. Additionally, there is moderate neural foraminal narrowing bilaterally. L4-L5: There is a broad-based posterior disc bulge, facet arthropathy, and ligamenta flavum hypertrophy tilting and mild spinal canal stenosis. However, there is a severe right and moderate left neural foraminal narrowing secondary to these changes. L5-S1: Mild retrolisthesis of L5 over S1 is noted. However, there is no spinal canal stenosis at this level. Mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing is noted. Limited evaluation of the intra-abdominal structures shows no significant abnormality. The paraspinal musculature is mildly atrophied. CONCLUSION: 1. Advanced degenerative changes of the lumbar spine most pronounced at L4-L5 where there is anterior disc bulging, mixed Modic type I and type III degenerative endplate changes, and associated enhancement near the vertebral endplates. Enhancement is most likely related to an acute degenerative process, and much less likely a neoplastic or infective process. 2. Moderate spinal canal stenosis at L3-L4, with additional areas of mild spinal canal narrowing as above. 3. Multilevel neural foraminal narrowing with severe right neural foraminal stenosis noted at L4-L5, likely contacting the exiting L4 nerve root. As the attending physician, I have personally reviewed the images, interpreted and/or supervised the study or procedure, and agree with the wording of the above report.

Patient weight: 152 lbs. IV contrast: ProHance, 7 ml, per protocol. IV contrast injection rate: 3 ml per sec. Findings: There is a large abscess in the right frontal lobe measuring 4.8 x 5.1 x 4.1 cm which shows restricted diffusion and peripheral enhancement. This abscess is contiguous with the abscess in the right frontal sinus. There is restricted diffusion throughout the paranasal sinuses. There is significant vasogenic edema and mass effect resulting in effacement of the frontal horns of both lateral ventricles with subfalcine herniation and extension of edema into the left frontal lobe across the corpus callosum. Susceptibility is noted along the periphery of the abscess in the inferior frontal region. Postcontrast images also demonstrate enhancement of the right frontotemporal dura with subperiosteal abscess along the posterior wall of the right frontal sinus. There is small amount of extra-axial fluid along the right frontal and temporal convexities which does not show restricted diffusion. Diffuse peripheral mucosal enhancement is seen throughout the paranasal sinuses with exception of the left posterior ethmoid air cells and the left sphenoid sinus. Perfusion images have not been processed at the time of dictation. There are findings of increased intracranial pressure with prominence of optic nerve sheaths bilaterally and flattening of the posterior globes as well as bulging of optic discs. There is increased FLAIR signal adjacent to the occipital horns of both lateral ventricles. Both orbits appear normal no abnormal enhancement within the orbits. Impression: 1. Large abscess within the right frontal lobe with significant associated mass effect and midline shift and features of elevated intracranial pressure. Abscess is contiguous with the right frontal sinus. Associated small subperiosteal abscess along the posterior wall of the right frontal sinus and dural enhancement in the right frontal and temporal regions. No evidence of brain tumor. 2.

EXAM: Outside CT Image Interpretation CLINICAL INFORMATION: History of adenocarcinoma, likely of bile duct origin. COMPARISON: None. TECHNIQUE: Outside CT images of the abdomen and pelvis with contrast with coronal and sagittal reformats dated 12/28/2021 were submitted for interpretation. The CT acquisition was performed outside of UAB protocol, monitoring and oversight. Interpretation may have reduced accuracy, which should be considered prior to implementation of clinical decisions. FINDINGS: IMAGE QUALITY: Satisfactory, although this is a delayed study with suboptimal enhancement, particularly in the liver. STRUCTURED REPORT: CT Abdomen Pelvis LOWER CHEST: LUNG BASES / PLEURA: Mild bibasilar subsegmental atelectasis. DISTAL ESOPHAGUS: Normal. HEART / VESSELS: Coronary artery stent versus calcifications noted. Otherwise, within normal limits. ABDOMEN and PELVIS: LIVER: Diffusely abnormal. There are innumerable small areas of nodular hypodensity involving the entirety of the liver, greatest in the right lobe. Within this are scattered larger focal lesions, not well defined because of the delayed timing of the study. The largest focus of hypodensity measures approximately 4.0 x 3.6 cm, located within segment four (series 2 image 82). BILIARY TRACT: No obvious intra or extrahepatic biliary ductal dilation. No biliary tract mass identified. GALLBLADDER: No abnormality. PANCREAS: Diffuse fatty atrophy. Otherwise, normal. SPLEEN: Normal. ADRENALS: Normal. KIDNEYS: Left greater than right renal atrophy noted. LYMPH NODES: There are multiple shotty nodes throughout the retroperitoneum. Additionally, some of these are borderline enlarged. STOMACH / SMALL BOWEL: No abnormality. COLON / APPENDIX: No abnormality. The appendix is within normal limits. PERITONEUM / MESENTERY: Small amount of ascites, mostly accumulating within the right and left subphrenic spaces and left pericolic gutter. RETROPERITONEUM: Normal. VESSELS: Mild atherosclerosis involving the abdominal aorta and its branching vessels. URINARY BLADDER: Normal. REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS: Prostatomegaly. BODY WALL: No significant abnormality. MUSCULOSKELETAL: No acute or aggressive osseous abnormality. There are moderate to severe degenerative changes involving the thoracolumbar spine, most severe at the L5-S1 level. There are several bridging anterior osteophytes within the visualized thoracic spine. Right hip prosthetic is visualized and appears within normal limits. There are advanced degenerative changes involving the left hip joint. CONCLUSION: 1. Diffusely abnormal liver, likely secondary to diffuse metastatic disease, although a primary is not identified. Another possibility is cholangiocarcinoma. Sometimes hepatic steatosis can appear like this, although this is thought less likely but difficult to confirm because of contrast timing on this study. Increased in number of retroperitoneal lymph nodes, indeterminate. 2. Multilevel bridging anterior osteophytes within the visualized thoracic spine, consistent with DISH. 3. Advanced degenerative changes involving the left hip joint. Right hip joint prosthesis is within normal limits. 3. Other incidental findings as outlined above. As the attending physician, I have personally reviewed the images, interpreted and/or supervised the study or procedure, and agree with the wording of the above report.

EXAM: Outside CT Image Interpretation CLINICAL INFORMATION: 78-year-old female with hematuria COMPARISON: Renal ultrasound 10/21/2021 TECHNIQUE: Outside CT images from Grandview dated 12/23/2021 were submitted for interpretation. The CT acquisition was performed outside of UAB protocol, monitoring and oversight. Interpretation may have reduced accuracy, which should be considered prior to implementation of clinical decisions. FINDINGS: IMAGE QUALITY: Satisfactory. STRUCTURED REPORT: CT Abdomen Pelvis LOWER CHEST: LUNG BASES / PLEURA: Septal thickening throughout the bilateral lower lobes. There is a nodule measuring up to 8 mm along the right oblique fissure. Rounded focus near the lung base on series 3 image 25 of the small peripheral hyperdensity and is difficult to delineate whether this is a pleural-based nodule or projecting from the posterior liver. DISTAL ESOPHAGUS: Normal. HEART / VESSELS: No significant abnormality. ABDOMEN and PELVIS: LIVER: Simple cyst measuring up to 1.7 cm within the anterior liver. BILIARY TRACT: Normal. GALLBLADDER: No abnormality. PANCREAS: Normal. SPLEEN: Normal. ADRENALS: Normal. KIDNEYS: Left inferior pole simple cyst measuring up to 1.9 cm (series 4 image 23). Right kidney is low-lying. Subcentimeter right renal hypodensity is too small to characterize, likely a simple cyst. No renal calculi or hydronephrosis. LYMPH NODES: None enlarged. STOMACH / SMALL BOWEL: No abnormality. COLON / APPENDIX: Scattered diverticulosis without evidence of acute diverticulitis. The appendix is not well visualized. Diffuse fecal material throughout the colon. PERITONEUM / MESENTERY: Normal. RETROPERITONEUM: Normal. VESSELS: Scattered atherosclerotic calcifications of the abdominal aorta. URINARY BLADDER: Partially collapsed. REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS: Left adnexal cyst measuring 1.6 x 1.6 cm (series 3 image 98). BODY WALL: Small fat-containing umbilical hernia. MUSCULOSKELETAL: No destructive lesions. Degenerative changes in the spine. CONCLUSION: 1. No evidence of renal calculi or hydronephrosis. Bilateral simple renal cysts. 2. Right lower lobe lung nodule measuring up to 8 mm. Follow-up CT in 6-12 months is recommended. Additionally, there is a questionable rounded focus at the junction of the right lung base/diaphragm, difficult to tell if this arises from the pleura or subdiaphragmatic/from the liver given its location. Contrast-enhanced exam may better delineate the origin of this lesion. 3. Additional chronic and incidental findings as described above. As the attending physician, I have personally reviewed the images, interpreted and/or supervised the study or procedure, and agree with the wording of the above report.

There is intrinsic T1 hyperintensity within the lesion suggesting presence of proteinaceous and/or hemorrhagic material. Papillary appearing projections along the inferior wall of the cystic lesion enhance on postcontrast imaging (series 61 image 47) There is mass effect on the uterus and urinary bladder inferior to this cystic lesion. The left ovary is visualized and appears normal. The right ovary is not well visualized due to mass effect. There is mass effect on the adjacent uterus. Endometrium appears prominent with multiple tiny T2 hyperintense cystic structures, measuring about 1.1 cm. BODY WALL: No significant abnormality. MUSCULOSKELETAL: Small right hip effusion with increased synovial enhancement relative to the left hip. CONCLUSION: 1. Large pelvic lesion as described with appearance concerning for ovarian cystic neoplasm. No pelvic adenopathy or evidence of metastatic disease in the pelvis. 2. Prominent endometrium as described above. In a postmenopausal patient, this degree of endometrial thickness is abnormal. Recommend clinical correlation. 3.

EXAM: Outside MR Image Interpretation CLINICAL INFORMATION: History of pleomorphic liposarcoma of the left lower back and buttock treated with resection and radiation therapy 2002. In 2019, he had resection of multiple cystic nodules with pathology revealing sarcoma with tumor histology from original tumor, likely radiation induced. COMPARISON: Radiographs dated 6/3/2021 TECHNIQUE: Outside MR images of the pelvis without and with intravenous contrast dated 12/27/2021 were submitted for interpretation. The MRI acquisition was performed outside of UAB protocol, monitoring and oversight. Interpretation may have reduced accuracy, which should be considered prior to implementation of clinical decisions. FINDINGS: Within the subcutaneous soft tissues of the left gluteal/flank region, there is a heterogeneous, T1 and T2 hyperintense mass with heterogeneous postcontrast enhancement. The mass measures approximately 4.5 x 3.2 x 3.1 cm (image 16, series 10; image 26, series 9). Edema and enhancement from the mass abuts the underlying tensor fascia, concerning for early local spread. There is more faint diffuse, nonfocal edema and enhancement within the gluteus medius muscle. There is a large fluid collection overlying the left gluteus maximus muscle with internal debris. The collection measures 14.6 x 3.0 cm. The wall of the collection is thickened and demonstrates hyperintense signal on all sequences consistent with mineralization seen on prior PET/CT. This is likely a postoperative fluid collection has been present since 2004. There are additional smaller peripherally enhancing cystic structures tracking inferior and lateral along the more posterior gluteus maximus and tensor fascia lata, also similar to multiple prior PET/CTs which showed low level activity associated with these areas. The visualized osseous structures are unremarkable without evidence of acute fracture or aggressive osseous lesion. Increased fatty marrow replacement involving the left sacrum and left ilium, likely sequela of prior radiation therapy. Sigmoid diverticulosis. The prostate is enlarged. Multiple urinary bladder diverticula are noted. CONCLUSION: 1. Heterogeneously enhancing mass abutting the left gluteus medius and tensor fascia lata most consistent with residual/recurrent sarcoma. Edema and enhancement associated with the mass extends to the tensor fascia lata, concerning for early local invasion. 2. Postoperative fluid collection and surrounding this overlying the left gluteus maximus muscle. Smaller peripheral enhancing cystic lesions tracking inferiorly along the more posterior tensor fascia lata, with low level activity on PET/CTs. Again, may also reflect postoperative change/seroma, continued attention at follow-up is recommended to exclude recurrence. 3. Please see above for other incidental and more detailed findings. As the attending physician, I have personally reviewed the images, interpreted and/or supervised the study or procedure, and agree with the wording of the above report.

There is more faint diffuse, nonfocal edema and enhancement within the gluteus medius muscle. There is a large fluid collection overlying the left gluteus maximus muscle with internal debris. The collection measures 14.6 x 3.0 cm. The wall of the collection is thickened and demonstrates hyperintense signal on all sequences consistent with mineralization seen on prior PET/CT. This is likely a postoperative fluid collection has been present since 2004. There are additional smaller peripherally enhancing cystic structures tracking inferior and lateral along the more posterior gluteus maximus and tensor fascia lata, also similar to multiple prior PET/CTs which showed low level activity associated with these areas. The visualized osseous structures are unremarkable without evidence of acute fracture or aggressive osseous lesion. Increased fatty marrow replacement involving the left sacrum and left ilium, likely sequela of prior radiation therapy. Sigmoid diverticulosis. The prostate is enlarged. Multiple urinary bladder diverticula are noted.

FINDINGS: Stable postsurgical changes of the lateral mid right thigh from prior tumor resection. There is redemonstration of a linear soft tissue band extending from the skin surface to the underlying superficial fascia. The previously mentioned area of bandlike soft tissue thickening is similar appearance compared to prior exams, though evaluation is limited due to noncontrast technique. No new masslike soft tissue thickening in the surgical bed or elsewhere within the right thigh. No lymphadenopathy. No acute fracture or aggressive osseous destruction. Again noted is an intramuscular lipoma involving the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle. Diverticulosis without acute diverticulitis.

EXAM: Outside MR Image Interpretation CLINICAL INFORMATION: Right shoulder mass. Patient has a history of rotator cuff repair biceps tenotomy and extensive glenohumeral debridement performed on 4/22/2021. COMPARISON: Outside CT and ultrasound performed prior to the MRI not available for comparison. TECHNIQUE: Outside MR images of the right shoulder without and with intravenous contrast dated 12/10/2021 were submitted for interpretation. The MRI acquisition was performed outside of UAB protocol, monitoring and oversight. Interpretation may have reduced accuracy, which should be considered prior to implementation of clinical decisions. FINDINGS: Incomplete exam due to patient's inability to complete the study (per outside report), motion artifact also present which limits assessment. Previous outside imaging not available for comparison, although reports were available. Postsurgical changes of the greater tuberosity consistent with prior rotator cuff repair. Additionally, there is a large Hill-Sachs impaction fracture along superior lateral humeral head. Marrow edema is noted diffusely within the humeral head, extending into the proximal humerus, likely reactive. More mild patchy edema present within the glenoid. Along the posterior/medial proximal humeral metadiaphysis, there is an irregular-appearing area of ossific exostosis measuring 3.2 x 1.4 cm (image 12, series 2301), that is confluent with the adjacent cortex. It is difficult to determine enhancement within this lesion given lack of precontrast sequences through this region. The biceps is torn with similar-appearing areas of ossification along the proximal and distal course of the long head biceps tendon (series 2401 image 13 and 14). The largest is along the course of the more caudal biceps measuring 2.4 x 1.8 cm (image 14, series 2401). Additional areas of heterogeneous lobulated signal irregularity are also present along the posterior joint capsule, within the subscapular recess along the anterior scapula, and anterior to the base of the coracoid. Complete tear of the inferior glenohumeral ligament. The rotator cuff tendons are incompletely evaluated on this limited study but appear to be performed on the motion limited coronal T2 sequence. There is a large glenohumeral joint effusion with synovitis. Additionally, there is significant pericapsular edema and enhancement, extending into the adjacent musculature. Multiple enlarged axillary lymph nodes, incompletely evaluated, may be reactive given the extensive posttraumatic and postsurgical changes described above. CONCLUSION: 1. Partially calcified and ossified areas along the proximal posterior humeral cortex, the course of the biceps tendon, and around the shoulder. Although neoplasm was raised as a differential consideration, suspect this may reflect heterotopic ossification associated with shoulder dislocations and biceps tendon rupture/tenotomy. Recommend a CT for further evaluation, as this will likely help further characterize and delineate. 2. Findings of prior anterior shoulder dislocation with large Hill-Sachs deformity and extensive reactive edema in the proximal humerus. 3. Postsurgical changes consistent with prior rotator cuff repair with complete glenohumeral ligament and rotator cuff tears, incompletely evaluated. 4. Multiple enlarged axillary lymph nodes, incompletely evaluated, may be reactive given the extensive posttraumatic and postsurgical changes described above. These too can be further characterized on subsequent CT. As the attending physician, I have personally reviewed the images, interpreted and/or supervised the study or procedure, and agree with the wording of the above report.

EXAM: Outside MR Image Interpretation CLINICAL INFORMATION: Tibial lesion COMPARISON: 12/9/2021 TECHNIQUE: Outside MR images of the left tibia/fibula without with intravenous contrast dated 12/22/2021 were submitted for interpretation. The MRI acquisition was performed outside of UAB protocol, monitoring and oversight. Interpretation may have reduced accuracy, which should be considered prior to implementation of clinical decisions. FINDINGS: There is a linear vertical defect in the posterior cortex of the mid tibial diaphysis that measures approximately 10 cm in length (series 101 110, images 20-30), with corresponding low T1 signal intensity extending into the medullary cavity, suggesting a nondisplaced fracture. There is enhancement within the fracture site, as well as in the adjacent medullary cavity, with periosteal reaction and cortical thickening circumferentially around the tibia through this area, but most pronounced along the medial and posterior cortex. Due to the orientation, this is more difficult to appreciate on the coronal and sagittal images, but is also seen on the coronal STIR sequence (series 9 image 13). There is heterogeneous edema within the medullary cavity adjacent mid tibial diaphysis, no frank marrow replacement on the nonfat saturated T1 sequences. Postcontrast images demonstrate patchy enhancement within the medullary cavity and of the periosteum. No additional fracture is appreciated. Mild edema seen within the flexor digitorum longus, posterior tibialis and anterior tibialis muscles. Fatty atrophic changes of the medial head of the gastrocnemius. The remaining muscles and tendons are intact and unremarkable. The subcutaneous soft tissues are unremarkable. CONCLUSION: 1. Findings favoring nondisplaced stress fracture along the posterior cortex of the mid tibial diaphysis with reactive periosteal reaction. Infection is felt less likely, however, correlation with patient's history, symptoms, serology, and inflammatory markers is recommended. Recommend a follow-up CT for further characterization. 2. Location location of the stress fracture is atypical, atypical stress reactions and fractures can be seen with bisphosphonate therapy. Please correlate clinically. As the attending physician, I have personally reviewed the images, interpreted and/or supervised the study or procedure, and agree with the wording of the above report.

EXAM: Outside MR Image Interpretation CLINICAL INFORMATION: Right knee mass COMPARISON: 12/2/2021 TECHNIQUE: Outside MR images of the right knee without and with intravenous contrast dated 12/3/2021 were submitted for interpretation. The MRI acquisition was performed outside of UAB protocol, monitoring and oversight. Interpretation may have reduced accuracy, which should be considered prior to implementation of clinical decisions. FINDINGS: Within the posterior aspect of the medial femoral condyle and medial aspect of the medial tibial plateau, there is extremely hypointense signal intensity on all sequences compatible with the dense sclerosis seen on the radiographs. There is also mild cortical thickening and irregularity extending along the distal medial femoral metaphysis, that is also seen on accompanying radiographs. There is no enhancement following contrast, pattern and appearance favors melorheostosis. Smaller scattered punctate areas of low signal intensity seen elsewhere within the distal femur and tibia consistent with small focal areas of enostosis. Small focal area of increased T2 signal along the central medial femoral condyle is most consistent with subchondral cystlike change, with focal area of irregular overlying chondromalacia. Similar but more subtle finding seen in the lateral patellar facet. There is diffuse marked thickening of the distal semimembranosus, extending to its insertion along the posterior medial tibial plateau, at the site of melorheostosis. Accompanying radiograph demonstrate punctate calcifications through this area, which may be reactive/heterotopic ossification. Small amount of tracks along the distal semimembranosus, likely reactive. This tracks caudal and deep to the pes anserine tendons, however, pes anserine tendons unremarkable. Trace edema is superficial to the posterior MCL, also felt to be reactive. The MCL is intact. The medial and lateral menisci are intact and unremarkable. The ACL and PCL are intact. The lateral collateral ligament and posterolateral corner structures are intact and unremarkable. The articular cartilage of the patellofemoral and femorotibial compartments is unremarkable. No large joint effusion. CONCLUSION: 1. Dense nonaggressive sclerosis and cortical thickening of the medial femoral metaphysis, medial femoral condyle, and medial tibia, most consistent with melorheostosis. 2. Marked distal semimembranosus tendinosis with adjacent reactive fluid and punctate calcifications. Semimembranosus inserts at the melorheostosis along the medial tibia, which may be contributing to the tendinosis and calcification. 3. Edema along the posterior distal MCL and deep to the pes anserine felt to be related to the semimembranosus tendinosis. MCL and pes anserine tendons otherwise unremarkable. 4. Please see above for other incidental and more detailed findings. As the attending physician, I have personally reviewed the images, interpreted and/or supervised the study or procedure, and agree with the wording of the above report. Given the distal semimembranosus insertion at the site of proximal tibial melorheostosis, the marked distal semimembranosus thickening, punctate calcifications, and reactive surrounding fluid may reflect sequela of partial avulsion injury. No findings to suggest a complete tear.

EXAM: Outside MR Image Interpretation CLINICAL INFORMATION: RCL injury COMPARISON: 12/6/2021 TECHNIQUE: Outside MR images of the left hand without intravenous contrast dated 12/29/2021 were submitted for interpretation. The MRI acquisition was performed outside of UAB protocol, monitoring and oversight. Interpretation may have reduced accuracy, which should be considered prior to implementation of clinical decisions. FINDINGS: Osseous structures: Slight volar subluxation of the thumb proximal phalanx, at the MCP joint, with associated degenerative changes. Marrow spaces are normal. There is no evidence of acute fracture or dislocation. Articular surfaces: Other than moderate degenerative changes at the thumb MCP joint and mild degenerative changes at the index finger MCP joint, the remaining MCPs, PIPs and DIPs are within normal limits. No large joint effusion is present. Tendons/ligaments: Within limits of study, the flexor tendons are normal in course, contour and signal. Slice thickness on the axial sequences limits assessment of the pulleys and tendons. There is reactive edema centered around the little finger MCP joint, extending to the base of the proximal phalanx. There is no significant tendinopathy or tenosynovitis. There is a a complete versus near complete tear of the little finger MCP joint radial collateral ligament. On the coronal PD sequence, there is suggestion of a tiny remnant anterior radial collateral ligament attachment (series 5 image 6). The remaining collateral ligaments of the hand are intact and unremarkable, specifically the radial collateral ligament of the little finger is unremarkable. Musculature: Visualized musculature is well-developed. There is no atrophy, edema or mass. Soft tissues: Stable well-defined T2 hyperintense lesion overlying the extensor pollicis longus tendon at the proximal aspect of the proximal thumb phalanx measuring approximately 0.8 x 0.6 cm (image 11, series 4). Assessment limited due to technique and slice thickness. CONCLUSION: 1. Complete versus near complete tear of little finger MCP joint radial collateral ligament. 2. Suspected small ganglion cyst adjacent to the extensor pollicis longus tendon, assessment limited due to technique and slice thickness. 3. Please see above for other incidental and more detailed findings. As the attending physician, I have personally reviewed the images, interpreted and/or supervised the study or procedure, and agree with the wording of the above report.

The CT acquisition was performed outside of UAB protocol, monitoring and oversight. Interpretation may have reduced accuracy, which should be considered prior to implementation of clinical decisions. FINDINGS: IMAGE QUALITY: Satisfactory. STRUCTURED REPORT: CTA Abdomen Pelvis VASCULATURE: DISTAL DESCENDING THORACIC AORTA: No significant abnormality. ABDOMINAL AORTA: No significant abnormality. CELIAC AXIS: No significant abnormality. SMA: No significant abnormality. RIGHT RENAL: No significant abnormality. LEFT RENAL: No significant abnormality. IMA: No significant abnormality. RIGHT ILIAC / PROXIMAL FEMORAL ARTERIES: No significant abnormality. LEFT ILIAC / PROXIMAL FEMORAL ARTERIES: No significant abnormality. ------------------------------------------------------------- LOWER CHEST: LUNG BASES / PLEURA: There is a sclerotic lesion associated with the posterior lateral left eighth rib that measures approximately 6.1 x 2.3 cm (series 2 image 5). Per chart review, this lesion has been previously biopsied with benign findings. Additionally, there is a small calcified granuloma within the right middle lobe. No suspicious lung nodule or mass identified. Bilateral lung base subsegmental atelectasis. DISTAL ESOPHAGUS: Small type I hiatal hernia. HEART / VESSELS: No significant abnormality. ABDOMEN and PELVIS: LIVER: There are scattered well-circumscribed hypodense lesions within the liver that measures near fluid density, likely representing simple hepatic cysts. Noncirrhotic morphology. BILIARY TRACT: Normal. GALLBLADDER: No abnormality. PANCREAS: Normal. SPLEEN: There are small subcentimeter hypodense lesions over the dome of the spleen, too small to accurately characterize. ADRENALS: Normal. KIDNEYS: Bilateral large exophytic simple renal cysts. A 3.0 cm hyperenhancing cortical lesion in the lateral right interpolar cortex (on series 2/image 59). Otherwise, both kidneys are unremarkable. LYMPH NODES: There are several scattered intraperitoneal calcified lymph nodes. No enlarged lymph nodes visualized. STOMACH / SMALL BOWEL: No abnormality. COLON / APPENDIX: Scattered diverticula without surrounding inflammation. The appendix is normal. PERITONEUM / MESENTERY: Calcified lymphadenopathy as above. Otherwise, normal. RETROPERITONEUM: Normal. OTHER VESSELS: No significant abnormality. URINARY BLADDER: Normal. REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS: Prostatomegaly. BODY WALL: Small fat-containing umbilical hernia. MUSCULOSKELETAL: Lytic, slightly expansile lesion involving the right iliac wing is again visualized and has been previously characterized as fibrous dysplasia on prior MRI. No acute or aggressive osseous abnormality. Mild to moderate degenerative changes involving lumbar spine. There is a small lucent lesion involving the posterior aspect of the T12 vertebral body, also likely represent hemangioma or fibrous dysplasia. CONCLUSION: 1. No evidence of metastatic disease within the visualized chest/abdomen/pelvis. 2. Expansile osseous lesion in the right iliac bone likely represent fibrous dysplasia rather than metastasis. Similar osseous lesions in the T12 vertebral body and the left eighth rib as described above. 3. Scattered intraperitoneal calcified lymph nodes, likely sequela of prior granulomatous infection. Other incidental findings as outlined above. As the attending physician, I have personally reviewed the images, interpreted and/or supervised the study or procedure, and agree with the wording of the above report.

Interpretation of Outside Films CT Chest CLINICAL INFORMATION: 78-year-old female with history of ovarian cancer, Spec Inst: CT CHEST 121521 REC 010522 ELMORE COMMUNITY TECHNIQUE: Please note the examination was performed outside of UAB protocol, monitoring and oversight. There are associated diagnostic limitations which should be considered prior to implementation of clinical decisions. Scout images, as well as contrast enhanced Axial, sagittal and Coronal reformatted images through the chest were provided and reviewed. COMPARISON: Prior chest CT dated 5/19/2021. FINDINGS: Scouts: No additional findings. Lower neck, Mediastinum and Lymph nodes: The right Port-A-Cath tip terminates within the right atrium. Thyroid gland is unremarkable. No evidence of focal esophageal wall abnormalities. There is interval new inferior mediastinal soft tissue nodule, measuring up to 14 x 18 mm (series 2, image 41). No otherwise new pathologically enlarged supraclavicular, mediastinal, hilar or axillary lymph nodes. Heart and great arteries: Cardiac chambers are normal in size. No pericardial effusion. Mediastinal great arteries are normal in caliber. No evidence of large central pulmonary thromboembolic disease. Airways: The trachea and central bronchi are patent and clear. Lungs : Few scattered tiny subcentimeter pulmonary nodules are unchanged from prior, for example along the right minor fissure (series 2, image 26), within the left lung apex (series 2, image 12), and within the superior segment of the left lower lobe (series 2, image 27), within the lingula (series 2, image 39) are unchanged when compared to prior. Redemonstrated calcified the right middle lobe granuloma. No new suspicious pulmonary nodules or masses. Pleura: No pleural effusion or pneumothorax. Upper abdomen: The CT of the abdomen and pelvis will be reported separately. Bones and soft tissues: Calcified right breast lesion is unchanged. The visualized chest wall soft tissues are otherwise unremarkable. Degenerative bony changes are again noted, without evidence of aggressive or destructive intrathoracic osseous lesions. CONCLUSION: 1. Interval new development of inferior mediastinal, right paraesophageal, soft tissue nodule measuring up to 14 x 18 mm, which could represent mediastinal soft tissue metastasis or lymph node metastasis. Recommend attention on follow-up scans versus further evaluation with PET/CT if clinically warranted. 2. Stable tiny noncalcified pulmonary nodules are unchanged without convincing CT evidence of new suspicious pulmonary nodules or masses or evidence of other intrathoracic metastatic disease. 3. Other incidental findings as described.

Findings: CT head without and with contrast: No intracranial mass, mass effect, edema, hemorrhage, hydrocephalus, or evidence of acute infarction. No abnormal enhancement seen. Small left frontal sinus osteoma, remaining visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are clear. No acute osseous or soft tissue abnormality is seen. Chronic hyperattenuation is noted along the right suboccipital scalp soft tissues and to a lesser extent the left parietal scalp which is suggestive of sequelae of prior trauma. CTA head: Mild atherosclerotic disease of the carotid siphons. Hypoplasia of the left P1 segment of the PCA. The remaining intracranial arterial vasculature demonstrates no aneurysm, dissection, flow-limiting stenosis or occlusion. No vascular malformation seen. CTA Neck: Interval worsening of moderate atherosclerotic disease seen throughout the aortic arch and mediastinal great vessel origins. Common origin of brachiocephalic and left common carotid arteries is present. Focal noncalcified atherosclerotic plaque is present within the left distal common carotid artery causing less than 50% luminal narrowing which has slightly worsened in the interim. Calcified and noncalcified atherosclerotic disease is present at both carotid bulbs with grossly stable extent of narrowing of the bilateral internal carotid arteries, approximately 50%. Moderate atherosclerotic disease is present at the origin of the right vertebral artery causing now high-grade narrowing which has worsened in the interim. Occlusion of the nondominant left vertebral artery is redemonstrated with limited retrograde filling. The visualized images of the chest, prevertebral and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.

EXAM: Outside CT Image Interpretation CLINICAL INFORMATION: Right flank and right lower quadrant abdominal pain. Recently diagnosed with metastatic back cancer. COMPARISON: None. TECHNIQUE: Outside CT images of the abdomen and pelvis with contrast and coronal and sagittal reformats dated 12/10/2021 were submitted for interpretation. The CT acquisition was performed outside of UAB protocol, monitoring and oversight. Interpretation may have reduced accuracy, which should be considered prior to implementation of clinical decisions. FINDINGS: IMAGE QUALITY: Satisfactory. STRUCTURED REPORT: CT Abdomen Pelvis LOWER CHEST: LUNG BASES / PLEURA: There is a solid mass with spiculated borders within the base of the left upper lobe that measures approximately 3.0 x 1.6 cm (series 5 image 1). There are smaller nodules adjacent to the bilateral posterior pleural surfaces, the largest of which is seen within the left lung base and measures approximately 1.4 x 1.0 cm cyst (series 5 image 19). No focal consolidation or effusion is seen. DISTAL ESOPHAGUS: Normal. HEART / VESSELS: No significant abnormality. ABDOMEN and PELVIS: LIVER: There is surface nodularity of the liver without significant hepatic atrophy. No surrounding ascites. There are two small hypoattenuating peripheral enhancing lesions within the right hepatic lobe, largest of them measures about 1.9 x 1.8 cm (series 5/image 10). BILIARY TRACT: Normal. GALLBLADDER: No abnormality. PANCREAS: Normal size/enhancement of the pancreas. No suspicious mass lesion or abnormal pancreatic ductal dilatation. There is diffuse peripancreatic inflammatory stranding around the body and proximal tail. No discrete peripancreatic fluid collection. SPLEEN: There are scattered hypoenhancing lesions, the largest which measures 1.2 x 0.9 cm (series 5 image 32). No splenomegaly. Small splenule along the anterior edge of the spleen. ADRENALS: Hypoenhancing right adrenal nodule, measures about 4 x 1.5 cm (series 6/image 104). Additionally, there are small hypoenhancing left adrenal nodules, that measures approximately 2.2 x 1.7 cm (series 6 image 101. The absolute washout of this lesion measures 24.6% in the relative washout measures 15.6%. KIDNEYS: There is a small simple renal cyst within the left upper pole. There is large wedge-shaped well-defined area of hyperenhancement in the right renal parenchyma. No mass effect. No obstructing mass or stone. No hydroureteronephrosis. A subcentimeter left renal cortical lesion probably a simple cyst. No hydronephrosis. LYMPH NODES: There are several scattered retroperitoneal lymph nodes along the aorta and the IVC, the largest of which measures 1.2 cm (series 5 image 55). Additionally, there are bilateral shotty inguinal lymph nodes with fatty hila and do not appear to be pathologically enlarged. STOMACH / SMALL BOWEL: No abnormality. COLON / APPENDIX: Scattered colonic diverticula without surrounding inflammation. PERITONEUM / MESENTERY: There is a nodule adjacent to the right lateral peritoneum and measures 0.8 cm (series 5 image 46). RETROPERITONEUM: Tiny scattered retroperitoneal lymph nodes. No discrete retroperitoneal fluid collection. VESSELS: Mild calcified atherosclerosis involving the descending aorta and its branching vessels. URINARY BLADDER: Normal. REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS: Prostatic calcifications. BODY WALL: Small fat-containing umbilical hernia. MUSCULOSKELETAL: No acute or aggressive osseous abnormality. Mild degenerative changes involving the lumbar spine. No aggressive soft tissue lesion or abnormality identified. CONCLUSION: 1. Small hepatic lesions, bilateral adrenal nodules and retroperitoneal adenopathy as described above is concerning for metastatic disease. Probable primary lung cancer is suspected. 2. Large wedge-shaped right renal cortical hypoenhancement suggestive of renal infarct. 3. Surface nodularity of the liver, consistent with cirrhosis. Hypoenhancing hepatic lesion, concerning for metastatic disease rather than HCC. 4. Nonspecific stranding around the pancreas which may represent mild edematous interstitial pancreatitis. Correlate with serum enzymes levels. 5. Other incidental findings as outlined above. Left lung spiculated nodule, better visualized on the dedicated to recent chest CT. As the attending physician, I have personally reviewed the images, interpreted and/or supervised the study or procedure, and agree with the wording of the above report.

Interpretation of Outside Films CT Chest Clinical Information: 60-year-old female with provided history of osteosarcoma Spec Inst: Osteosarcoma - CT Chest from Anderson Regional done 12-28-21 rec 1-5-22 Study reviewed: CT of chest with contrast performed at Anderson Regional Medical Center on December 28, 2021, The images are available in PACS. Findings: Compared with the prior UAB chest CT dated November 15, 2021. There is a significant respiratory motion artifact on current scan. Index lesions are measured in series 2. The ill-defined irregular ossified mass in the right middle lobe in image 77 measures 74 x 53 mm, it was 76 x 66 mm before. The left lower lobe minimally calcified soft tissue mass in image 73 is 40 x 33 mm, it was 35 x 31 mm. There are several other variable size mostly ossified nodules scattered in both lungs with one such nonindex nodule in the left upper lobe in image 33-38 has slightly larger noncalcified component. A large new left pleural effusion has developed which is causing compressive atelectasis of the entire left lower and partial upper lobe atelectasis. Minimal pleural thickening is also noted and fluid appears to be partly loculated along the mediastinal pleura. No enlarged mediastinal or axillary nodes are seen. Several ossified left intercostal nodes persist as before. There is no focal lytic or sclerotic bone lesion. Conclusion: Although the larger right middle lobe ossified metastatic mass appears slightly smaller various other nonindex metastasis have slightly increased with new large left pleural effusion which likely is malignant.
