Society of Interventional Radiology’s Post

This week's case of the week features a rare diagnosis! A 34-year-old weightlifter presented to the emergency department this week with right shoulder pain. The emergency clinician ordered an x-ray of the patient's right shoulder and a CT of the right shoulder. Our diagnostic radiology attending physician, Dr. Nisha Mani, assisted by R1/PGY-2 radiology resident, Dr. Daniel Rapado Barreto, reviewed the images of this case. They diagnosed the patient with post-traumatic distal clavicle osteolysis due to repetitive weightlifting. Distal clavicle osteolysis is the painful development of bony erosions and resorption of the distal clavicle caused by repetitive trauma to the acromioclavicular (AC) joint. It is an uncommon diagnosis as it is most often seen in young, male weightlifters. A combination of activity modification, rest, anti-inflammatory medications, steroid injections into the joint, and/or physical therapy will typically resolve pain due to bone resorption. #weightlifting #radiology #shoulderpain #shouldertrauma

Something is going on at the field of perioperative myocardial infarction. Take the time to go through the survey, the findings will probably affect our everyday practice in cardiac surgery. #cardiacsurgery #myocardialinfarction #infarction #heart #cabg #eacts

🩺 The diagnosis of perioperative myocardial infarction (PMI) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a much debated issue following the results of recent randomised trials. 💡 In collaboration with expert surgeons, (non-)interventional cardiologists, biochemists, radiologists, intensive care physicians and EACTS,Samuel Heuts, Brian S. and Can Gollmann-Tepeköylü, have developed a survey where you can express your opinion. ⏱️ The survey has been designed to determine current practice and give you the opportunity to influence this highly important topic. It takes less than 10 minutes to complete. Complete the survey👇 https://lnkd.in/eQKeWeDB

An X-ray is a widely utilised imaging test that allows your doctor to view the internal structures of your body without invasive procedures. This invaluable tool aids in diagnosing, monitoring, and treating a variety of medical conditions. Different types of X-rays serve specific purposes. For instance, a mammogram examines breast tissue, while an X-ray with a barium enema offers detailed insights into the gastrointestinal tract. While there are some risks associated with X-rays, the benefits for most individuals far outweigh these concerns. Consult your doctor to determine the best options for your healthcare needs. 📞 Call us today to schedule your appointment and ensure your health is in expert hands! - 011 593 4499 #Radiology #Healthcare #MedicalImaging #XRay #PatientCare #Johannesburg #MDRadiology #JohannesburgSurgicalHospital #radiology #MDradiology #diagnosticimaging #xrays #mmr #catscan #radiologysouthafrica #radiologyjohannesburg #joburgsurgicalhospital

A Successful Parathyroid Ablation Case 📢 As an expert clinic in this field, I would like to share a successful parathyroid ablation case we performed last week. The total procedure time was only 5 minutes, and the ablation time was just 30 seconds. We successfully completed the treatment of our patient in this short period. 🎯 What is Parathyroid Ablation? Parathyroid ablation is the method of destroying abnormal tissue in the parathyroid glands using high heat. This technique is minimally invasive and has several advantages over surgical treatment. ✅ Advantages of Parathyroid Ablation over Surgical Treatment: Shorter Procedure Time: Literature indicates a success rate of over 90%. Less Pain: Provides a quick and effective treatment without the need for surgical intervention. Faster Recovery Process: Patients can typically return to their daily lives shortly after the procedure. Minimally Invasive Technique, Less Scarring: Minimally invasive, leaving less scarring. Lower Risk of Complications: The complication rate is very low. Shorter Hospital Stay: Patients can typically be discharged sooner. 🔬 Our Experience: As an interventional radiology clinic with extensive experience in treating parathyroid adenomas, we successfully utilize microwave ablation to treat our patients. We have successfully treated over 500 patients, significantly improving their quality of life. We are proud to offer the best service to our patients with our expert team.

Hello. A patient presented with fever, positive blood cultures, and lumbar pain. To further investigate, a PET/CT study was performed. Educational Insight: During the analysis of this case, I will review the anatomical structures of the heart as seen on PET. Challenge: Of the structures identified, only one does not belong to the physiological cardiac distribution and is visible due to the pathology present in the patient. Can anyone tell which structure it is? Thank you for your attention. Your comments and answers are welcome! #CardiacPET #MedicalImaging #CardiacAnatomy #NuclearMedicine #HealthTech #Cardiology #MedicalEducation #PETCT #HeartHealth #ImagingTechnology #ClinicalPractice #MedicalResearch #AdvancedDiagnostics #HealthcareInnovation
