Although anterior chest wall lesions rarely occur and the associated imaging findings are nonspecific, various disease processes can affect the chest wall. It is important for radiologists to understand the anatomic relationship between the chest wall and breast and differentiate the tumor origin. This pictorial essay presents the sonographic features of various anterior chest wall lesions that were detected on breast ultrasonography.

Introduction : It is controversial whether NMIDs can induce cardiac arrhythmias in humans. Studies in swine models have shown varying results. Two reported no induced VF, while a third showed 1 case of induced VF during epinephrine infusion. Two studies showed site sensitivity of cardiac capture depending on location of NMID electrodes. Human studies have not shown any induced arrhythmias. However, it is unclear whether electrodes were placed at the most vulnerable regions of the chest. This study sought to assess the thoracic location and range of minimum skin-to-heart distances (mSHD) and its relationship to BMI. Methods : Forty-five patients who had undergone cardiac CT scans were randomly selected for evaluation. These scans were analyzed to determine the mSHD and the location of this point on the chest surface relative to anatomic landmarks (horizontal distance from midsternum and vertical distance from sternal insertion of the lowest left rib). Linear regression analysis was performed using BMI and mSHD. Results : mSHD ranged from 1.8 cm to 6.4 cm. FIGURE 1 shows the linear regression of mSHD vs. BMI. mSHD was to the left of mid sternum (2.5 ± 2.5 cm) and slightly inferior (0.5 ± 2.0 cm) to the lowest left rib sternal insertion. The area of myocardial contact with the anterior chest wall averaged 51 ± 25 cm 2 , and was unrelated to BMI. Conclusions : In this study of adults, the average location of the site of mSHD was slightly to the left of mid sternum and just below the lowest rib insertion. There is a linear relationship between BMI and mSHD. The size of a person and the anatomic relationship of the heart to the anterior chest wall can influence the potential cardiac capture by NMIDs at the site of mSHD. Figure 1: mSHD vs. BMI

Abstract Radiotherapy plays a central role in the palliative and curative treatment of neoplasms of the chest wall or intrathoracic structures. However, despite technical advances, radiotherapy can alter previously normal organs and tissues, those alterations presenting as various types of imaging findings. Post-radiation alterations must be promptly recognized by radiologists, in order to avoid confusion between complications of radiotherapy and the recurrence of a tumor. This pictorial essay aims to illustrate different thoracic changes after radiotherapy.

Background:Enthesitis is the clinical hallmark of spondylarthritis. It refers to the inflammation of joint attach in the bone. Several sites enthesitis may be affected, and a wide variety of scoring systems were available.Objectives:We aimed to determine the prevalence of axial enthesitis in the anterior chest wall (ACW), and its correlation with peripheral sites especially, the Achilles tendon (AT).Methods:We conducted a prospective study including patients with SpA according to the ASAS criteria. Sociodemographic data, as well as disease characteristics, were recorded. The Maastricht Ankylosing Spondylitis Enthesitis Score (MASES) was used to assess clinical entheses (first and seventh costochondral joints, posterior superior iliac spine, anterior superior iliac spine, iliac crest, and Achilles tendon insertion). The presence of enthesitis on the US was then assessed in the right and left sternoclavicular (SCJ), manubriosternal (MSJ) joints, as well as in the AT, using Esaote My Lab 50.Results:The study included 47 patients with SpA: axial (n=26), axial and peripheral (n=21). There was a female predominance (sex ratio: 0.2). The mean age was 42.2 years ± 12.6 [11-70]. The age of onset of the disease was <40 years in 59.6% of cases. Tenderness in entheseal sites was found in 63.8% of patients, especially in the plantar fascia and AT (32.7%, 6%, respectively). The mean MASES score was 2.9 [0-13]. Clinical ACW involvement (29.1%) was at follows: 1st right chondro-sternal joint (CSJ) (19.1%), 1st left CSJ (25.5%), 7th right CSJ (27.7%) and 7th left CSJ (31.9%).US involvement of the ACW was 14.3%. Enthesitis of the AT was found in 70% of cases on US examination. ACW US involvement was correlated neither to the BMI nor to MASES score (p=0.16, p=0.6 respectively). Similarly, there was no correlation between the presence of US ACW enthesitis and clinical nor the US AT enthesitis (p=0.09, p=0.209, respectively).Conclusion:Our study showed that ACW enthesitis is frequent in SpA, especially by US screening. This axial enthesitis, don’t necessarily reflect a simultaneous clinical or US involvement of the peripheral entheses. Further studies are needed to characterize this subtype of SpA.References:[1]Verhoeven F, Guillot X, Godfrin-Valnet M, Prati C, Wendling D.

Pictorial Essay

Abstract Primary extranodal lymphoma is defined as a lymphoma at a solitary extranodal site, with or without involvement of the lymph nodes. The clinical and radiological features of extranodal lymphoma have been documented in recent studies. In this pictorial essay, we reviewed imaging findings of extranodal lymphoma in the head and neck region.
