Do not appear to enhance, HU < 10? Cysts. If higher HU? Metastatic Cancer (colon?)

Looks too black around the kidney and portion of descending colon. Same with a small area anterior to the liver. Probably nothing?

My last CME I did snake bites.

Have a good day Dr Jeff.

Good observations.

Dx: (spoiler alert) Metastatic neuroendocrine neoplasm of the rectum.

Be careful with using absolute numbers. Look at borders, enhancement, new? etc. example hydatid cysts can be low density but often show other suggestive findings - daughter cysts, etc.

and always beware of window/level. Rads can be tricky πŸ˜‰
