Value of Echocardiography in Patients with Acute Pulmonary Embolism with a Normal CT-derived Right-to-Left Ventricular Diameter Ratio
Kanako K. Kumamaru MD, PhD, et al.

DATE: Sunday, December 1st 2013
TIME: 10:45 – 10:55 AM
LOCATION: S404CD
PURPOSE:
Decision criteria for subsequent transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) after acute pulmonary embolism (PE) are needed when the CT-derived right-to-left ventricular (RV/LV) diameter ratio does not suggest RV dysfunction. The purpose of this study is to develop a clinical prediction rule for low probability of incremental prognostic benefit from subsequent TTE after acute PE.

Upper Extremity Composite Tissue Allotransplantation Imaging
Elizabeth George MBBS, et al.

PURPOSE:
Background and Purpose: Upper extremity (UE) amputation has extraordinary costs; patients require significant lifestyle modification. UE Transplantation (UET) has been successfully explored. Imaging is fundamental to positive outcomes; there is a new and unmet need to describe and standardize protocols for both surgical planning, follow-up, and imaging UET patients with complications. This exhibit draws on the success of a multidisciplinary allograft restoration service to review UET imaging.
AIMS:
1. Review strategies for uniform surgical planning and post-operative imaging in UET.
2. Describe imaging protocols and post-processing methods for catheterization, CT, standard and custom MR sequences, and clinical plus high frequency sonography.
3. Demonstrate imaging findings after successful UET.
4. Describe future directions in UET imaging.
