By performing a comprehensive MR imaging examination, it is not only possible accurately to characterize and stage cystic and solid lesions of the kidney, but also to provide important preoperative information to the surgeon. In addition, MR imaging can characterize many adrenal lesions and frequently can obviate the need to obtain biopsies. The continued development and growth of MR technology combined with the current trend toward minimally invasive surgery will expand the role of MR imaging in the future.
Case report of a neonate presenting within 1 h of birth with right side scrotal swelling and a dusky skin discoloration thought clinically to be a hydrocele or testicular torsion. Ultrasound examination demonstrated bilateral hydroceles, more prominent on the right, scrotal oedema and a perinephric loculated fluid collection secondary to right adrenal hemorrhage. We review the ultrasound appearance of the normal and haemorrhagic neonatal adrenal and discuss the differential diagnosis of both neonatal adrenal lesions and scrotal swellings. The role and benefits of ultrasound in the primary diagnosis and management of neonatal adrenal hemorrhage is emphasized.
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has been used in clinical practice for the past two decades, mainly for staging upper gastrointestinal tract tumours. More recently the technique has been used to guide interventional procedures, particularly EUS-guided biopsy. In this review we describe the equipment and technique required for interventional EUS. We also discuss with illustrations the current clinical applications, potential complications and developments for the future.
