Review
A 42-year-old male was admitted for paroxysmal syncope for 10 months, chest tightness for 20 days and chest pain for 10 days. The patient was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The patient did not have a history of hypertension or diabetes. Coronary angiography and left ventricular cardiac catheterization were done in order to examine the coronary artery and the pressure gradient of the left ventricular outflow tract. The cardiac catheterization was performed via a right radial artery approach and a total of 200 mL of 370 mg I/mL iopromide was injected. The patient developed contrast-induced encephalopathy following the cardiac catheterization procedure, displaying severe headache, cortical blindness and neuropsychiatric symptom as the main clinical manifestations. The patient was then given symptomatic and supportive treatment, including decreasing intracranial pressure, analgesics and sedatives, and the patient recovered.

A properly performed pulse examination can provide an accurate assessment of the arterial circulation to the lower extremity. However, increasing availability of non-invasive vascular laboratory testing, CT-angiography, magnetic resonance angiography, and catheter-based arteriography has deemphasized the use and teaching to student and resident physicians of classic techniques to examine lower extremity pulses. Clinical evaluation and accurate pulse examination may eliminate the need for these often unnecessary and expensive tests to evaluate arterial insufficiency. In this report, we describe our technique for precise lower extremity pulse examination to teach younger physicians and remind more experienced ones of the value and necessity of this critical aspect of a physical examination.

Review
Gastrointestinal bleeding is a potentially life-threatening abdominal emergency that remains a common cause of hospitalisation. Although 80-85% of cases of gastrointestinal bleeding resolve spontaneously, it can result in massive haemorrhage and death. The presentation of gastrointestinal bleeding can range from asymptomatic or mildly ill patients requiring only conservative treatments to severely ill patients requiring immediate intervention. Identifying the source of the bleeding can be difficult due to the wide range of potential causes, the length of the gastrointestinal tract and the intermittent nature of the bleeding. The diagnostic and therapeutic approach is fully dependent on the nature of the bleeding and the patient's haemodynamic status. Radiologists should be aware of the appropriate uses of computed tomography angiography and other imaging modalities in patients with acute gastrointestinal bleeding, as well as the semiotics of bleeding and diagnostic pitfalls in order to appropriately diagnose and manage these patients. The learning objective of this review is to illustrate the computed tomography angiography technique, including the potential role of dual-energy computed tomography angiography, also highlighting the tips and tricks to identify the most common and uncommon features of acute gastrointestinal bleeding and its obscure form.

In 1975, Gofredo Gensini stated, "The primary goal of coronary arteriography is the identification, localization, and assessment of obstructive lesions present within the arteries of the heart." The operative word here is assessment. I interpret assessment to mean determining the pathophysiologic significance (ischemia versus no ischemia) of the coronary stenosis in question.
