Imaging quiz: Fever of undetermined origin in a soldier
1Department of Radiology, Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington, DC, 20307, USA.
Abstract:
An athletic 26-year-old black male soldier presented with a 5-week history of intermittent fever up to a maximum of 102 degrees F (38.9 degrees C), 10-lb weight loss, and malaise. He denied any localizing signs or symptoms. At the time of admission his medical, surgical, and travel histories were unremarkable; and the physical exam, including his temperature, was within normal limits. His only medication was occasional use of acetaminophen, and his only lab abnormalities were a blood urea nitrogen of 58 mg/dL and serum creatinine of 3.4 mg/dL.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
