Introduction: Trauma is the most common worldwide cause of death and disability in young adults. Neurotrauma is one of the most frequent indications for emergent neuroimaging because imaging plays such a key role in patient triage and management.

Introduction The thyroid gland is the largest of all endocrine glands and is the only one which is amenable to direct physical examination and high resolution real-time grayscale sonography because of its superficial location. High Resolution Ultrasonography (USG) with Color Doppler is used to assess the nature of the lesion according to its vascularity and also the hemodynamic characteristics of the gland. Thus, the combination of Gray scale Sonography and Color Flow Doppler provide huge benefits and help in increasing the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy in distinguishing benign and malignant thyroid nodules. Nearly 50% of patients with a clinically palpable solitary thyroid nodule have avoided surgery because of thyroid ultrasound. Aims and objectives The present study is aimed to determine the role of high resolution USG in the evaluation of lesions of the thyroid with Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) correlation and compare it with other studies. Materials and methods This is a prospective study carried out on 50 patients (44 female and 6 male) who attended ENT or Surgery outpatient department/inpatient department (OPD/IPD) and were referred to the Department of Radio-Diagnosis for high resolution USG of neck at Rohilkhand Medical College and Hospital, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, India. This study was conducted for a period of one year from March 2015 to February 2016. The ultrasound machine used was GE LOGIQ V5. Result and Conclusion Our present study consisted of 50 cases which were clinically suspected suffering from thyroid dysfunction. Thyroid ultrasound was very efficient in picking up lesions in all 50 cases in our study. In comparison, to other studies our study gave a similar picture in terms of benign lesions being much more common than malignant lesions. The most common benign lesion determined in our study was colloid goiter which was the most common benign lesion in many other studies. In comparison to other studies, we were able to detect malignant nodules with a better specificity. Chronic thyroiditis was also very efficiently detected using ultrasound in our study.

Introduction Pseudocyst formation is a well known complication of pancreatitis. Intrahepatic pancreatic pseudocyst is very rare event and only about 30 cases have been reported in literature. We report here a case of 32-year-old male who was previously diagnosed as a case of hepatic abscess. He was referred to our department for ultrasonography (USG) and contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) abdomen with complaint of recurrent pain in upper abdomen. On the basis of findings of CECT Abdomen, diagnosis of large intrahepatic pancreatic pseudocyst in left lobe of liver is made. Conclusion Intrahepatic pseudocyst should be considered a differential diagnosis of cystic hepatic lesions in the patients with chronic or recent episode of acute pancreatitis. Computed tomography and high level of amylase in the collection plays an important role for diagnosing this complication. How to cite this article Hans P, Tyagi S, Sinha P, Kumar L, Gupta D, Singh R.

Aneurysmal bone cyst is a cystic lesion that mimics a true neoplasm clinically and radiologically. They are most commonly located in the metaphysis of the long bones, and their occurrence in the calcaneum and transverse process of vertebra has rarely been reported. Aneurysmal bone cyst has various differential diagnoses and histopathology is needed to confirm the diagnosis. Although aggressive, these benign lesions require simple curettage and bone grafting. However, a recurrence rate of up to 59% is reported and needs continuous follow-up. Two cases of aneurysmal bone cyst diagnosed based on X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging in one of the cases and subsequent correlation with histopathology are reported in this communication. The literature on the subject is scanty and hence the report.
