Variability of non-Gaussian diffusion MRI and intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) measurements in the breast
We prospectively examined the variability of non-Gaussian diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) measurements with different numbers of b-values and excitations in normal breast tissue and breast lesions. Thirteen volunteers and fourteen patients with breast lesions (seven malignant, eight benign; one patient had bilateral lesions) were recruited in t...
متن کاملreview the appropriate approach for evaluation of metastatic cervical lymph nodes on cross-sectional neck imaging
the imaging assessment of nodal disease can be challenging for the radiologist because there are multiple sites to review and differing opinions about criteria for abnormal nodes. the ability to accurately detect nodal metastases is improved with knowledge of the criteria for abnormal nodes, the nodal drainage patterns, and common imaging pitfalls. in this article, we introduce these basic conc...
متن کاملCorrelations between intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) parameters and histological findings in rectal cancer: preliminary results
Our purpose was to correlate different intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM), histopathological and clinical parameters in rectal cancer. 17 patients with histologically proven rectal cancer investigated on a 3.T device were included into the study. DWI was performed using a multi-slice single-shot echo-planar imaging sequence with b values of 0, 50, 200, 500 and 1000 s/mm.2 A polygonal region of...
متن کاملImproved Robustness with a Stretched Exponential Model for Intravoxel Incoherent Motion (IVIM) DW Signal
INTRODUCTION Le Bihan et al (1) proposed using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) based on intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) to distinguish pure molecular diffusion and microcirculation, or blood perfusion, by acquiring DW data with the diffusion sensitivity parameter b at low values (<200 sec/mm and at high values (>200 s/mm). The ability of IVIM to provide sensitive and specific values for th...
متن کاملMechanisms of cyst formation in metastatic lymph nodes of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
Cystic change in metastatic lymph nodes occurs in certain types of tumors and mostly in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. In the majority of cases, psuedocystic change is the mechanism of cyst formation. However, sometimes a true cyst cavity is formed. This occurrence is unexplained and some theories are introduced to explain it. In this paper, related articles and introduced concep...
