Abstract:
Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is a rare, autosomal dominant, multisystem cancer syndrome. A variety of benign and malignant tumors can develop in VHL, including cranial and spinal hemangioblastomas, retinoblastoma, endolymphatic sac tumor, pheochromocytoma, renal cell carcinoma, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and renal, pancreatic, and genital cysts. Here we present a 57-year-old woman who was diagnosed with VHL and, in the same 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT, exhibits all these components of the syndrome: pheochromocytoma, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, pancreatic cysts, renal cysts, liver hemangioma, and hemangioblastoma in the medulla oblongata.

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
Positron Emission Tomography
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...

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...
