| Diagnosis | Gastric trichobezoar | |
| History | A 28 year old woman presented with chronic right upper quadrant and epiGastric addominal pain, decreased appetite, and a palpable epiGastric mass for five months. | |
| Findings | A right upper quadrant ultrasound was performed. Evaluation of the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and right kidney was normal. Ultrasound of the area of palpable abnormality inferior to the liver revealed an echogenic image with curvilinear dense hyperechogenic surface and dense posterior shadowing. A CT of the abdomen and pelvis with oral and intravenous contrast reveals a markedly enlarged stomach distended by a round intraluminal mass of hypointense heterogeneous material. Retained air is visualized in the interstices. A thin rim of hyperintense material is seen lining the stomach wall representing displaced oral contrast. | |

| Diagnosis | BORDERLINE NORMAL Gastric EMPTYING | |
| History | 43 year-old male status post laparoscopic cholecystectomy with a bloated feeling. Please perform Gastric emptying study to evaluate Gastric transit. UGI series performed 2 years prior notable only for a small hiatal hernia with a moderate gastroesophageal reflux. | |
| Findings | The stomach appears usual in shape and orientation (anterior images are displayed only). Following a lag phase of 10 minutes, the stomach empties progressively at a constant rate with a calculated one-half Gastric emptying time of 89 minutes (normal is 45 to 90 minutes), which corresponds with the visual estimate. No gastroesophageal reflux is observed throughout the study, and anterograde movement of radiolabelled meal throughout the intestine appears normal. Following intravenous injection of metoclopramide (Reglan), Gastric emptying accelerates with a calculated one-half Gastric emptying time of 7 minutes. | |

| Diagnosis | Adenocarcinoma of Gastric Antrum | |
| History | 54yo caucasian male with 3 month history of progressive early satiety, post prandial vomiting and anorexia. Patient reported weight loss in excess of 15 pounds during previous 1 month. Patient has an 80 pack year history of smoking and 25 year history of heavy alcohol ingestion. | |
| Findings | An abdominal CT with contrast was obtained. A. Although this is an abdominal CT with contrast, note the sequestration of contrast material in the stomach secondary to complete Gastric outlet obstruction. There is a 2 cm mass posterior to the stomach in the vicinity of the antrum. There is a cleavage plane between the mass and the head of the pancreas which suggests a Gastric etiology. There is a large infarct in the right lobe of the liver, most likely secondary to right portal vein thrombosis. B. 2cm Gastric mass can be seen. Omental caking is indicative of carcinomatosis is seen anterior to the liver. Significant ascites is noted throughout the abdomen. There are multiple hypodensities in both kidneys which appear consistent with a cystic etiology. Adenopathy is present in the periaortic and parapancreatic regions. C. More evidence of omental caking, ascites, renal cysts and marked adenopathy. | |

There is no adjacent mass. Crater cavity changes shape from film to film. | |

| Diagnosis | Dieulafoy's lesion: An angiographic finding of a Gastric AVM | |
| History | A 53 y.o. female with upper GI bleeding refractory to endoscopic band ligation and electrocoagulation was refered to the interventional radiologist for a TIPS procedure. The interventional radiologist, after review of the patient's RUQ ultrasound and laboratory values, elected to perform a mesenteric angiogram rather than a TIPS procedure. Subsequently, she was found to be an extremely poor candidate for surgical or interventional therapy and was followed on a medical basis. | |
| Findings | Abdominal ultrasound demonstrated normal hepatopedal flow in the portal vein and patent hepatic veins. (No images) A three vessel mesenteric angiographic study revealed abnormal small arteries arising from the short Gastric arteries. These abnormal arteries had multiple direct connections to the Gastric venous plexus. Innumberable abnormal ectatic and aneurysmal submucosal veins were identified in the region of the fundus of the stomach, confirming the endoscopic findings. | |

| Diagnosis | Bilateral pleural effusions, bilateral pelvic hematomas, fracture/tract of left iliac, Left 5th rib fracture, thickening of Gastric wall - non-specific changes, and post surgical changes to left upper quadrent status post splenectomy. | |
| History | 25 y/o man with 3 GSW to chest, abdomen, and Left buttock. Pt was resuscitated and had an ex-lap performed before transfer to WRAMC. | |
| Findings | Chest film: Blunting of CP angles especially on left. Air bronchograms and atelectatic lungs. Positive spine sign. CT: Bilateral pleural effusions with compressive attelectasis L>R. Multiple prominent axillary lymph nodes are identified meeting pathologic criteria in number but not in size. A hypodense band is seen in the upper pole of the left kidney representing laceration. Post surgical changes are noted in the L upper abdomen with 2 metallic clips seen and an absent spleen. Clip is in the L hemidiaphragm status post diaphragmatic rupture. Colostomy is seen on left with descending colon attached. The stomach reveals a thickened and irregular wall with out evidence of a filling defect or focal mass. Two fluid collections are seen in the pelvis, one in the left hemipelvis anterior to the iliac and the second in the right hemipelvis consistent with hematomas. Air can be seen in the left gluteus maximus and in the left lateral wall representing bullet tract. In the bony structures there is a complete fracture through the wing of the left ilia with several bone fragments in the pelvis consistent with the ballistic tract. A fracture is also noted in the middle portion of the left 5th rib from another bullet. | |
