Figure 2: Frontal chest radiograph in a dialysis patient with bilateral HeRO grafts. The green arrow indicates the proximal aspect of the right-sided nitinol-reinforced venous component entering the central circulation via the internal jugular vein. The red arrow highlights the left-sided system entering via the subclavian v


Active Bleeding in the Ascending Colon
An 83-year-old male with rectal bleeding. What is the diagnosis? • Xray of the Week Figure 1. CTA abdomen/pelvis. What is the diagnosis? Figure 2. CT angiogram: A. Non-contrast images are normal (yellow arrow) . B. Arterial phase image: Hyperdense extravasation of contrast within the lumen of the ascending colon (blue arrow), indicating active bleeding. C and D. Note the dependent layering of contrast on portal venous phase images, confirming active extravasation. Diagnosis A

25-Year-Old Female with Abdominal Pain and Weight Loss: Diagnosis? • Xray of the Week Figure 1. 25-Year-Old Female with Abdominal Pain and Weight Loss: Diagnosis? Figure 2. CTA through the thoracic and abdominal aorta. A. Axial image through the descending thoracic aorta demonstrates concentric mural thickening and mild stenosis (yellow arrow). B. Axial image through the infra-renal abdominal aorta demonstrates mild concentric mural thickening and severe stenosis (red arrow).


Fracture of the Right Cervical Rib
Cervical ribs are supernumerary ribs arising from C7 and are more frequent than commonly appreciated on CT, where they may be overlooked without deliberate scrutiny of the thoracic inlet. Recognition matters because their morphology, length, and articulation vary and can predispose to local compressive phenomena.


Scimitar Syndrome on Chest X-Ray
Scimitar Syndrome is a rare congenital condition characterized by partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR), where pulmonary veins from the right lung drain into systemic veins—most commonly the inferior vena cava—creating a curvilinear “scimitar” appearance on chest radiographs.


Patency Capsule on X-Ray
The patency capsule is a dissolvable “dummy” capsule—matching the size of standard small‑bowel video capsule endoscopes—used to evaluate functional luminal patency of the small bowel prior to capsule endoscopy


Splenic Trauma with Contrast Extravasation
A 61-year-old female presented with left upper quadrant abdominal pain and hypotension following a motor vehicle collision. How would you...


Bravo pH Monitor
The Bravo pH monitoring system is a catheter-free, ambulatory device designed to evaluate esophageal acid exposure over 48–96 hours.


Percutaneous Cholecystostomy in Pregnancy
Right upper quadrant pain in unstable patient. What procedure is indicated? • Xray of the Week Figure 1. What action should be taken for this patient with right upper quadrant pain who is also hemodynamically unstable? Figure 2. A. MRI of abdomen. The patient is pregnant (orange arrows), therefore ionizing radiation with CT scan or fluoroscopy can not be used for imaging guidance. Gallbladder with wall thickening (green arrow) and adjacent fluid (yellow arrow) indicate acute
