Studies indicate that approximately 15% to even 30% of individuals diagnosed with malignancies ultimately develop metastatic lesions within the brain over the course of their illness. The most common primary tumours causing intracranial spread are lung, breast, melanoma, renal and colon cancers \u2013 in the order of frequency. Notably, around 70% of patients presenting with symptomatic brain metastases exhibit multiple lesions upon MRI examination. Fortunately, with the increasing accessibility of advanced imaging technologies in recent years, early detection has become more achievable.<\/p>\n Read Full Article<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=”blog-col” css=”.vc_custom_1617009566389{border-radius: 5px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”8311″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Imaging Modalities For Diagnosis Of Necrotizing Fasciitis: A Comprehensive Review” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%239a286d” google_fonts=”font_family:PT%20Sans%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]Abstract:<\/strong><\/p>\n Necrotizing fasciitis is a necrotizing soft tissue infection that can result in fast tissue loss, necrosis, and potentially fatal acute sepsis.

A MDCT abdominal angiogram with oral Gastrograffin scan was performed, revealing\u00a0multiple segments of non-enhancing, severely thinned out small bowel walls and foci of intramural gas pockets with intervening normal enhancing segments in the right lower abdomen involving the ileal loops. Of significant concern was the absence of vasa recta adjacent to the ischemic bowel wall, highlighting the ischemic nature of the findings.<\/p>\n
