Comparative StudyIntrahepatic peripheral cholangiocarcinoma: comparison of dynamic CT and dynamic MRI.
The purpose of this work was to compare dynamic MRI (D-MRI) with dynamic CT (D-CT) for the diagnosis of peripheral cholangiocarcinoma (PCC) of the liver. ⋯ Both D-CT and D-MRI can provide important information for the diagnosis of PCC. D-CT is better than D-MRI for demonstrating vascular involvement and extrahepatic invasion. D-MRI gives more conspicuous enhancement.

Comparative StudyCT findings of pulmonary tuberculosis presenting as segmental consolidation.
The purpose of our study was to determine specific CT findings of tuberculous pneumonia presenting as segmental or lobar consolidation along with a pathologic review of specimens with similar radiographic patterns. ⋯ Fluid bronchogram in the area of homogeneous consolidation, bronchial luminal dilatation, and bronchial wall thickening of the proximal airway were the bronchial changes more significantly prominent in the tuberculous pneumonia group. We suspect that these findings may represent tuberculous bronchitis in small airways.
