Reporting Nasogastric Tube ‘in the Stomach’ Is Not Enough: Full Intragastric Positioning Matters

Thalinne Schueremans, Nico Hustings

Even when the nasogastric tube (NGT) tip appears intragastric on chest radiography, malposition of proximal side holes above the gastro-oesophageal junction may result in clinically significant aspiration.

Atypical MRI Presentation of High-Grade Chondrosarcoma in the Proximal Femur

Nico Hustings, Valerie Van Ballaer, Geert Vanderschueren

Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a considerable role in the detection and differentiation of chondrosarcoma (e.g., by cortical breakthrough, peritumoral soft tissue edema, and extra-osseous extension), it is important to be aware of atypical features of common bone tumors.

Cardiac MRI after Sudden Cardiac Arrest in a Young Woman Prompts Diagnosis of Familial Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Nico Hustings, Valerie Van Ballaer, Leticia Barrios

Familial dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) predisposes to malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has important diagnostic value in demonstrating non-ischemic patterns of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE).

PURSUING OPTIMAL RADIATION DOSE IN PEDIATRIC CARDIAC CT: A REPORT FROM UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL LEUVEN

Nico Hustings, Hilde Bosmans, Steven Dymarkowski

BACKGROUND: Computed tomography (CT) balances between high resolution and low radiation dose. Given the greater radiosensitivity of children, it is appropriate to use child-friendly CT-protocols that reduce radiation dose at acceptable image quality.This article states the radiation dose in pediatric cardiac CT-examinations …

Extramedullary Acute Myeloid Leukemia Tumor Presenting in the Radial Nerve

Nico Hustings, Veerle Goosens, Geert Vanderschueren

Extramedullary acute myeloid leukemia tumor belongs to the differential diagnosis when a tumor develops in a patient with a history of leukemia, and magnetic resonance imaging is of diagnostic value by demonstrating iso-intensity and hyperintensity compared to skeletal muscle respectively on T1- …

Insidious Onset of Pulmonary Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis During Oncological Follow-Up

Nico Hustings, Eveline Slachmuylders, Adriana Dubbeldam

Pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (PLCH) has to be included in the differential diagnosis of cystic pulmonary lesions on chest computed tomography (CT). CT has important diagnostic value by demonstrating initial centrilobular nodules that in time cavitate and transform into cysts, typically sparing …

Granulomatous Lymphocytic Interstitial Lung Disease (GLILD) in Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID)

Nico Hustings, Adriana Dubbeldam, Birgit Weynand

Granulomatous lymphocytic interstitial lung disease is a non-infectious complication of common variable immunodeficiency. Computed tomography (CT) has an important diagnostic value by demonstrating pulmonary nodules, ground glass opacities, bronchiectasis, subpleural reticulations, lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly.

MRI of Wallerian Degeneration in the Brainstem: A Pictorial Essay

Nico Hustings, Marc Lemmerling

Wallerian degeneration of the cerebral peduncle is a common MRI finding after cerebral injury. The degree of peduncular atrophy reflects the extent of damage in the corticospinal tract. The acute phase of Wallerian degeneration is visible with Diffusion-Weighted-Imaging. New investigation with Diffusion-Tensor-Imaging …
