Overview

There are no other imaging findings associated with [disease name].

OR

[Imaging modality] may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on an [imaging modality] suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].

Other Imaging Findings

  • There are no other imaging findings associated with [disease name].
  • [Imaging modality] may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on an [imaging modality] suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include:
    • [Finding 1]
    • [Finding 2]
    • [Finding 3]

Biopsy — Biopsy is rarely needed but is the only means to establish a definitive diagnosis. Patients with subcutaneous nodules or superficial thrombophlebitis should undergo biopsy. Biopsy is suggested if the patient presents with unusual characteristics such as large artery involvement, age >45 years or the presence of elevated anticardiolipin antibodies. Patients with antiphospholipid syndrome exhibit thrombus without inflammation ruling out a diagnosis of thromboangiitis obliterans [43].

If there are no nodules and the patient fulfills the above criteria, a biopsy of an artery or examination of the vein or arteries in an amputated digit or limb may provide a diagnosis; however, this is rarely done.
