CT evaluation of parathyroid adenomas: diagnostic criteria and pitfalls.

Sixty-three patients with biochemically proven primary hyperparathyroidism underwent CT of the neck and upper chest prior to surgery. All examinations were prospectively evaluated. Parathyroid adenomas were correctly identified on CT in 81% of patients. Thyroid adenomas, tortuous vessels, the esophagus, and atypical parathyroid adenomas may be potential sources of error in the diagnosis of parathyroid adenomas.

Periportal tracking in hepatic trauma: CT features.

In retrospective review, 51 cases of hepatic trauma were analyzed for type and location of injury. More than half of these cases (62%) demonstrated periportal zones of decreased attenuation, which is presumed to represent blood in the periportal region. This finding has been termed "periportal tracking" and may be an important sign of subtle liver injury.
