Hey, thanks for the reply! You are right, I meant to say biconvex but not biconcave.

Thanks, glad you find it helpful. I don´t do any private medical reports.

Great question! Exudative effusion is based on the Light´s criteria and empyema is one cause of exudative effusion. However if you have exudative effusion it does not mean that it is empyema.

CT is often the modality of choice for further characterization of empyema, although other modalities may also be useful.

I agree that CT may not be the optimal modality of choice for occult GI-bleed.

Thanks for the comment, I think however that this may be a bit beyond the scope of this short lecture :)

Thanks, hope you find it useful

Thanks!

Me too

Glad it was helpful!

Hopefully this video helped with that!

Thanks! More content will follow

Thanks, and a great question! In any case of reperfusion therapy, the onset and severity of symptoms plays a vital role as well as imaging. CT perfusion can aid in this decision, but I would be skeptical of the CT perfusion if it shows a large ischemic core but the NECT shows no ischemic changes since many errors can occur when processing the images for CTP. You could (if accessible) perform a MRI and look for diffusion/FLAIR mismatch to aid in this decision. I hope this answers your question!

Thank you!

Gastrointestinal bleeds are hard to see with CT. Although they may occasionally be seen, a CT would not be the modality of choice.
