discharged with oral analgesics. Following the third episode, the patient presented to our emergency department where was admitted to the Hospital Neurology Service. Upon admission, vital signs and laboratory studies were grossly unremarkable. MR angiography of the head revealed multiple foci of segmental vasoconstriction of the anterior and posterior circulation suggestive of RCVS. The patient was treated with oral calcium channel blockers and discharged home with a mild persistent

Coronary angiography is an essential method for the quantification of CAD plaque burden in clinical practice [11] and Gensini score is one of the most widely used angiographic scoring system, which is strongly correlated to the atherosclerotic plaque burden [12]. Although coronary angiography is the gold standard for CAD diagnosis, it has several limitations [13]. Therefore, it has become an urgent

Damadian was a strong Christian and gave all the glory to God. MRI machines can detect “tumors, cancers, traumatic brain injuries, developmental anomalies, multiple sclerosis, stroke, dementia, infection, and causes of a headache.” (MRI and MR Angiography). According to Mayfield Clinic “An MRI scan works by using a powerful magnet, radio waves, and a computer to create detailed images. Your body is made up of millions of hydrogen atoms (the human body is 80% water), which are

test may show confirm that bile stream is generally blocked as well as different irregularities. A doctor will regularly request imaging test, for example, Computed tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Ultrasound, and Computerized tomography angiography, or CT output is a scanner that takes various X-beam pictures and a machine remakes them into itemized pictures of within the mid-region. It helps the specialists make pancreatic growth judgment. Attractive echo imaging (MRI) utilizes attractive

Introduction An aneurysm is a weakening or dilation of the blood vessel wall. If the aneurysm burst it is considered a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Aneurysms occur most commonly along the aorta or in the brain. For the purpose of this paper, brain aneurysms will be the main focus. Aneurysms are life threatening, especially in the case of a rupture. Therefore it is important that healthcare workers have an understanding of the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic test, and the therapeutic

evolution, but of limited role in proper assessment of adjacent soft tissue and osseous structure and depend on diagnostician’s experience [22]. Multislice CT has improved temporal resolution and spatial resolution in the scanning direction for CT angiography [23]. However, CTA examinations are high-radiation dose studies and it is not always possible to clearly differentiate between the lesion and adjacent tissues [24, 25]. DSA is the standard examination in assessment of AVMs, but it is an invasive

Thrombolytic therapy Definitions: Thrombolytic therapy is a treatment to dissolve dangerous clots in the blood vessels, to improve blood flow and prevent damage to tissue and organs. Thrombolytic therapy can also be said as, Thrombolysis. Thrombolysis may involve the injection of clot-busting drugs through an intravenous (IV) line or through a long catheter that delivers drugs directly to the site of the blockage. It also may involve the use of a long catheter with a mechanical device attached

The summer of July 2014 my family got devastating news that my grandfather was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Prior diagnose of pancreatic cancer his weight had dropped drastically, couldn’t keep any of his food down, and pigmentation had changed. When he came into the hospital his intestines were wrapped around his kidneys and they found a tumor in his pancreas. By August 2, 2014 my grandfather had lost the battle of pancreatic cancer. His death was slow and painful surrounded by nothing but

presented with acute epigastric pain, near syncope and hypotension. Laboratory tests revealed acute anemia with normal platelet count and coagulation studies. Abdominal computed tomography angiography detected hemoperitoneum and hematoma within the gastrohepatic ligament with active extravasation. Abdominal angiography was suggestive of left gastric aneurysms. Transcatheter arterial embolization was successfully performed on the proximal left gastric artery to stop the bleeding. Conclusion: An

The initial signs of acute stroke on nonenhanced CT are subtle but signs that may be visible would include: loss of distinction between white and grey mater, hypodensities in the brain parenchyma, loss of appearance of sulcal markings on surface of the brain and obscured delineation of basel ganglia. The presence of hyerdensity in a main artery may imply thrombus in a main cerebral artery. In the absence of contrast this sign has a high specificity but a low sensitivity for middle cerebral artery
