Comparative assessment of rest and post-stress left ventricular volumes and left ventricular ejection fraction on gated myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and echocardiography in patients with transient ischaemic dilation on adenosine MPI: myocardial stunning or subendocardial hypoperfusion?

TL;DR: Transient dilation of the left ventricle on adenosine MPI is not related to chamber enlargement and myocardial stunning, but is more likely a function of subendocardial hypoperfusion and impaired coronary flow reserve.

Nature and impact of interruptions on clinical workflow of medical residents in the inpatient setting.
TL;DR: Pages frequently interrupted direct patient care activities for PGY-1-3 trainees, and a significant proportion of pages were identified as either not requiring immediate attention or not appropriate, resulting in potentially avoidable interruptions to clinical workflow.
Hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy demonstrated on SPECT/CT.
TL;DR: SPECT/CT was able to improve the specificity of the planar scintigraphic findings, by confirming tracer uptake was localized to the periosteum as expected for hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy, thereby excluding the presence of skeletal metastases.

Pachymeningitis Demonstrated on Gallium SPECT/CT Scan
TL;DR: A 34-year-old woman presented with a 3-month history of right-sided headaches associated with photophobia and pulsatile tinnitus with elevated opening CSF pressure, increased protein, and presence of monocytosis consistent with an inflammatory/infective process.

Progressive visual loss due to obstruction of an optic nerve sheath fenestration demonstrated on SPECT/CT radionuclide cisternography.
TL;DR: A 35-year-old woman with a 7-year history of idiopathic intracranial hypertension was referred for radionuclide cisternography after the progression of visual loss in the eyes prompted the creation of bilateral optic nerve sheath fenestration.
