A Cases Series of Discrepancies in Lung Shunt Fraction Calculation Between 2D Planar and 3D Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography Imaging for Y-90 Radioembolization in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients with Ascites

Paula Gamero Kubota, MD, Robert Wagner, MD, Christopher Molvar, MD, James Halama, PhD and Judy R. James, PhD

Accurate Lung Shunt Fraction (LSF) is essential for safe Yttrium-90 (Y90) radioembolization (TARE) treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) in patients with ascites. However, traditional 2D imaging might be inaccurate for LSF calculation in this population.

Skipped Ossification Center

Donna Mohseni Mofidi, Lubna Siddiqi and Ian Ross

There are six secondary ossification centers in the elbow that regularly ossify in a predictable order. The mnemonic CRITOE is used to identify the order of ossification. CRITOE stands for: Capitellum, radial head, internal epicondyle, trochlea, olecranon and external epicondyle.

Fibroblast Activation Protein Identifies Progressive Bladder Cancer and Allows Peritoneal Metastasis Detection by 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT Imaging – A Case Report

Bastiaan J. Viergever, Esther Strating, Marnix Lam, Onno Kranenburg and Richard P. Meijer

Currently, FDG-PET/CT scans are used in advanced bladder cancer patients to identify metastatic lesions. Unfortunately, FDG-PET/CT displays relatively low sensitivity in detecting metastatic disease in these patients, resulting in open-and-close operations due to unexpected metastatic disease.

A Rare Case Report of Mucormycosis Presenting with Left External Ophthalmoplegia

Sreeja Namilakonda, M. Thanmai Nagasri, Pakanati Sanath Reddy and Ankitha Pasuleti

Mucormycosis is one of the most severe and quickly spreading types of fungal illness which typically starts in the nose and paranasal sinuses after inhaling fungal spores. The subphylum Mucormycotina, which includes the genera Absidia, Mucor, Rhizomucor, and Rhizopus is responsible for its majority of cases of mucormycosis.
