Generate impression based on findings. | 62-year-old male with history of thyroid cancer, status post thyroidectomy. THYROID: The patient is status post thyroidectomy. RIGHT THYROIDECTOMY BED: Status post thyroidectomy with no evidence of residual or recurrent disease. LEFT THYROIDECTOMY BED: Within the superior left thyroidectomy bed there is a 5 x 4 x 4 mm hypoechoic focus which is not clearly demonstrated on the recent prior study. No evidence of calcifications or hypervascularity. Focus is non-specific and indeterminate in appearance. The 12/05/2012 study demonstrated a similar appearing focus measuring 5 x 5 x 5 mm, however, the anatomic location cannot be confirmed with certainty. Attention to this region on subsequent follow-up imaging is recommended. ISTHMUS BED: Status post thyroidectomy with no evidence of residual or recurrent disease. LYMPH NODES: Bilateral morphologically unremarkable and normal-sized lymph nodes are identified.PARATHYROID GLANDS: No significant abnormality noted.OTHER: At level 4 of the left side of the neck there is a 9 x 8 x 7 mm hypoechoic focus which appears to connect to adjacent vasculature, and may represent a small tributary vessel.

Generate impression based on findings. | 61-year-old male with a reported history of papillary thyroid carcinoma in 2011, status post thyroidectomy and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosed in 2013 during lymph node dissection. THYROID: The patient is status post thyroidectomy. RIGHT THYROIDECTOMY BED: Status post thyroidectomy with no evidence of residual or recurrent disease in the right thyroidectomy bed. LEFT THYROIDECTOMY BED: Status post thyroidectomy. Within the inferior left thyroidectomy bed there is a poorly defined 1.4 x 1.3 x 1.3 cm complex hypoechoic focus that is not clearly identified on the prior outside hospital ultrasound images. This may correspond to a cluster of small lymph nodes seen on the outside hospital CT, but this cannot be reliably confirmed given the different modalities. Attention to this area is recommended on subsequent imaging.ISTHMUS BED: Status post thyroidectomy with no evidence of residual or recurrent disease. LYMPH NODES: There are numerous bilateral enlarged cervical lymph nodes at multiple levels. Some of them demonstrate a rounded morphology. No discrete microcalcifications are identified. For future reference, the largest lymph node on the right measures 1.5 x 0.7 x 2.1 cm in superior level II of the neck. One of the regions of the patient's palpable concern is located in the submandibular area and corresponds to a conglomeration of lymph nodes, area measures approximately 2.8 x 1.7 x 2.8 cm.The largest lymph node on the left measures 1.2 x 0.8 x 2.5 cm in mid level III of the neck. | 1. Non-specific hypoechoic focus in the inferior left thyroidectomy bed may represent small lymph nodes, as seen on the outside CT exam, however this is equivocal. Attention to this region on subsequent imaging is recommended.2. Increased size and number of bilateral cervical lymph nodes, some of which demonstrate abnormal rounded morphology. This is increased from the prior comparison ultrasound. Discrete intralesional microcalcifications are not identified; for this reason, lymphoma is favored as the etiology of the bilateral lymphadenopathy given the patient's history. 3. The region of palpable concern on the right side of the neck corresponds to a conglomeration of enlarged lymph nodes. |

Generate impression based on findings. | 81 year-old female who is recalled from screening for further evaluation of focal asymmetry with calcifications in the retroareolar right breast. No current breast complaints. RIGHT BREAST DIGITAL DIAGNOSTIC MAMMOGRAM: Right breast ML and two spot compression views were performed digitally and reviewed with the aid of R2 CAD 9.3. The breast parenchyma is composed of scattered fibroglandular density, unchanged in pattern and distribution.

Generate impression based on findings. | 48 years old, Male, Reason: S/p DDRT. now with progressive oliguria History: oliguria TECHNIQUE: Grey scale sonography of the renal transplant; Color/spectral doppler of the renal transplant inflow and outflow vasculature. | Elevated velocity at the anastomosis measuring up to 2.9 meters per second. This would meet the Doppler criteria for narrowing however, intrarenal resistive indices are normal. This may represent postsurgical edema and a full sonography is suggested.Findings discussed with Dr. Bryan at the time of dictation.I personally reviewed the Images and/or procedure with the Resident/Fellow and agree with this report. |
