Contrast-Enhanced Ct and Mri Findings of Atypical Hepatic Echinococcus Alveolaris Infestation
(Springer, 2005) Etlik, Ö; Bay, A; Arslan, H; Harman, M; Kösem, M; Temizöz, O; Dogan, E
Diagnosis of liver infestation by Echinococcus alveolaris (EA) is based on serological and radiological findings. In this report, we present a 15-year-old girl with atypical hepatic EA infestation showing central punctate calcifications and contrast enhancement on the portal and late phases of CT and MRI. CT showed a hypodense mass involving more than half of the liver with prominent central calcifications. MRI revealed hypointense signal of the infiltrative mass on both T1- and T2-weighted images. Contrast enhancement is a unique finding in hepatic EA infestation that may cause difficulties with diagnosis. MRI may provide invaluable information in the diagnosis of EA infestation of the liver, either by disclosing the infiltrative pattern of infestation without significant effect to vascular structures, or by the signal characteristics.
Mr Findings in Pericardial Hydatid Cyst
(Tohoku Univ Medical Press, 2003) Sakarya, ME; Irmak, H; Etlik, Ö; Evirgen, Ö; Temizöz, O; Sakarya, N
Pericardial hydatid cyst is rare. We present a 32-year-old man with a pericardial. hydatid cyst. Chest x-ray film showed a spherical mass located left mediastinum. A pericardial cyst with low signal intensity was noted on T1 weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images. The cyst had high signal intensity, but signal intensity of folded parasitic membranes in the cyst were seen lower intensity on T2 weighted MR images. Based on these MR findings, pericardial hydatid cyst was diagnosed. The patient underwent surgical removal of the cyst. Histologic study of the cyst confirmed hydatid cyst diagnosis.

Peroral Ct Enterography With Lactulose Solution
(Amer Roentgen Ray Soc, 2005) Arslan, H; Etlik, Ö; Kayan, M; Harman, M; Tuncer, Y; Temizöz, O
Objective: The objective of our study was to evaluate lactulose solution as a new oral contrast agent with the use of peroral CT enterography to determine the adequacy of luminal distention and conspicuity of the bowel wall. CONCLUSION. Peroral CT enterography performed with lactulose solution is a simple and noninvasive method of evaluating the small bowel by obtaining good distention. It can also be used at routine abdominal examinations as a negative contrast agent instead of iodinated oral contrast medium, especially for CT angiography.
