Gallbladder enhancement following angiography: a normal CT finding.

The authors reviewed computed tomography (CT) studies that had been preceded within 2 days by angiography. Twenty-one patients were selected who showed no laboratory evidence of liver or renal disease. Eighteen patients received greater than 37 g of iodine at angiography. Eight of these underwent CT within 2 h of angiography and showed enhancement of the gallbladder wall, nine underwent CT 15 to 48 h after angiography and showed enhancement of the gallbladder contents, and one had no gallbladder enhancement. Three patients received less than 22 g of iodine at angiography and none had gallbladder enhancement on CT. The necessity of differentiating normal gallbladder enhancement from pathology on CT is stressed. In addition, the physiologic mechanisms responsible for gallbladder enhancement are presented, and the relationship of our findings to the total body opacification effect and to infusion tomography of the gallbladder is discussed.

CT demonstration of pancreatic transection: a case report and comparison with other diagnostic modalities in the evaluation of blunt pancreatic trauma.

A case of prevertebral pancreatic transection demonstrated by pre-operative computed tomography is presented. The dramatic demonstration of pancreatic transection in this case suggests that CT scanning should be considered among the first-line modalities in the evaluation of suspected pancreatic injuries. In addition, the value of other diagnostic modalities in the evaluation of this disorder is reviewed.
