There are moments when a doctor knows their diagnosis has made a profound difference in a patient’s treatment. Often, the patient may never fully understand the complexities and challenges that went into reaching that conclusion. As Radiologists, we take pride in the behind-the-scenes work — the meticulous analysis and dedication that helps doctors make life-changing decisions.

This log book reflects a few of those moments, reminding us of the meaningful impact we make on patient care.

Midgut malrotation with Volvulus

 



When Every Feed Ends in Vomiting: A Life-Saving Ultrasound Diagnosis

A newborn was brought for an Ultrasound Whole Abdomen with a history of vomiting after every feed.

The ultrasound findings were suggestive of midgut malrotation with volvulus—a surgical emergency that requires immediate intervention to prevent bowel ischemia.

Following the diagnosis, the referring doctor promptly referred the baby to a pediatric surgeon. The child underwent emergency surgery, and we are delighted to share that the baby is now recovering well.

This case highlights the critical role of timely imaging and close collaboration between clinicians and radiologists in ensuring the best possible outcomes for our youngest patients.
