REPORT
HILLCREST |
TECHNIQUE:
Continuous axial
8 mm sections were obtained through the throax both pre and
post intravenous administration of 92 cc Omnipaque 300.
A total of 100 images was obtained.

FINDINGS:
This study was compared to the
prior study of 2/23/00.
Since the prior study, there has
been insertion of an infusion catheter, with the reservoir in the anterior soft
tissues of the left upper chest. There is loculated pleural effusion on the
patient's right, unchanged since the piror study, and there is consolidation in
the right lower lobe. The previously described irregularly-shaped pleural-based
mass in the right upper lobe is unchanged in size and configuration and appears
to have a small peripheral area of calcification. There are calcified pre and
peritrachaeal lymph nodes, the largest measuring 13 mm in diameter. The
infusion catheter tip is in the superior vena cava. No new masses are present
in the right lung. The left lung is free of any masses. Atherosclerotic
calcifications are present in the aortic arch. No osteoblastic or osteolytic
lesions are identified.

IMPRESSION:
1. Internal insertion of an infusion
catheter, with the reservoir in the soft tissues of the left uper chest, with
the tip in the superior vena cava.
2. Calcified pre and pretrachael lymph
nodes on the right, the largest measuring 13 mm in diameter.
3. Loculated right pleural effusion-based
mass in unchanged in size since the prior study of 2/23/00
4. The
previously suspected pleural-based mass is unchanged in size since the prior
study and may represent extensive pleural thickening rather than neoplams.
It is unchaned since the piror study.
