The role of the radiologist in the assessment of thoracic changes after radioth...
Ando,Sabrina de Mello; Fonseca,Eduardo Kaiser Ururahy Nunes; Frassei,Julliana dos Santos; Farias,Lucas de Pádua Gomes de; Neves,Yuri Costa SarnoAbstract 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 betwe...

Differential diagnoses of acute ground-glass opacity in chest computed tomograp...
Matos,Marina Justi Rosa de; Rosa,Marcela Emer Egypto; Brito,Vanessa Mizubuti; Amaral,Lucas Tadashi Wada; Beraldo,Gabriel LaverdiABSTRACT Ground-glass opacity is a very frequent and unspecified finding in chest computed tomography. Therefore, it admits a wide range of differential diagnoses in the acute context, from viral pneumonias such as influenza virus, coronavirus disease 2019 and cytomegalovirus and even non-infectious lesions, such as vaping, pulmonary infarction, alveolar hemorrhage and pulmonary edema. For this diagnostic diffe...
Main complications of hip arthroplasty: pictorial essay
Enge Júnior,Dair Jocely; Castro,Adham do Amaral e; Fonseca,Eduardo Kaiser Ururahy Nunes; Baptista,Eduardo; Padial,Michel BayouthAbstract Hip arthroplasty is a widely used and successful orthopedic procedure for the treatment of degenerative, inflammatory, or traumatic joint disease. The procedure promotes significant pain relief, as well as recovery of limb function, reduction of disability, and better quality of life. However, there are related complications, which have characteristic imaging aspects. In the present study, we review th...
Magnetic resonance imaging aspects after surgical repair of knee cartilage: pic...
Souza,Anthony Reis Mello; Castro,Adham do Amaral e; Fonseca,Eduardo Kaiser Ururahy Nunes; Nunes,Letícia Maria Araújo Oliveira; Baptista,EduardoAbstract Radiologists should be familiar with the main techniques of knee cartilage repair and the imaging methods available for its evaluation, in order to optimize the postoperative follow-up of patients. The objective of this study was to present a series of clinical cases seen at our facility, illustrating the main techniques necessary for the repair of knee cartilage, as well as the magnetic resonance imag...
Thoracic tomographic manifestations in symptomatic respiratory patients with CO...
Farias,Lucas de Pádua Gomes de; Strabelli,Daniel Giunchetti; Fonseca,Eduardo Kaiser Ururahy Nunes; Loureiro,Bruna Melo Coelho; Nomura,Cesar HigaAbstract China was the epicenter for the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which quickly spread to other Asian countries and later to Western countries; subsequently, COVID-19 was categorized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Diagnosis primarily depends on viral detection in respiratory samples; however, available kits are limited, lack high sensitivity, and have a long turnaround time for pro...

In this article, we describe our Radiology Department’s policies in a private hospital for coronavirus disease 2019 preparedness focusing on quality and safety for the patient submitted to imagi...
COVID-19 findings identified in chest computed tomography: a pictorial essay
Rosa,Marcela Emer Egypto; Matos,Marina Justi Rosa de; Furtado,Renata Silveira Olimpio de Paula; Brito,Vanessa Mizubuti; Amaral,Lucas Tadashi WadaABSTRACT The disease caused by the new coronavirus, or COVID-19, has been recently described and became a health issue worldwide. Its diagnosis of certainty is given by polymerase chain reaction. High-resolution computed tomography, however, is useful in the current context of pandemic, especially for the most severe cases, in assessing disease extent, possible differential diagnoses and searching complications...
Abdominal symptoms as initial manifestation of COVID-19: a case series
Amaral,Lucas Tadashi Wada; Brito,Vanessa Mizubuti; Beraldo,Gabriel Laverdi; Fonseca,Eduardo Kaiser Ururahy Nunes; Yokoo,Patrícia; Talans,AleyABSTRACT The COVID-19 became a pandemic in early 2020. It was found, at first, that the main manifestations of this new virus occur through respiratory and constitutional symptoms. Therefore, chest tomography was elected as the best imaging test to assess the extent of pulmonary involvement and as a good prognostic predictor for the disease. However, as new studies were produced, the gastrointestinal involvemen...
