Breast magnetic resonance imaging: initial experience in Kuwait.
OBJECTIVE To report our initial experience of breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in Kuwait in order to identify and characterize breast lesions. SUBJECTS AND METHODS In 58 patients ranging in age from 25 to 64 years, breast MRI was performed as a problem-solving tool (29); for suspicious local relapse of the treated breast (6); to search for a primary breast cancer in patients with metas...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance-guided interventional procedures of the breast: initial experience.
BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance imaging of the breast has emerged as a valuable imaging tool in addition to conventional imaging modalities. It has high sensitivity for malignant lesions and can detect mammographically, sonographically and clinically occult cancers. "MR only" lesions are best biopsied under MR guidance; however, this may be a challenging task. OBJECTIVES To evaluate our initial...
متن کاملAortic root abscess. Initial experience using magnetic resonance imaging.
The detection of aortic root abscess by magnetic resonance imaging has not been described previously. We report a patient with an aortic root abscess that was successfully diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging and echocardiography. Computed tomography failed to detect the abscess. The patient recovered with antibiotic therapy. Based on this case and other reports in the literature, we advocat...
متن کاملIsometric exercise in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging: an initial experience using fast imaging
Introduction Isometric exercise is a powerful stimulator of the cardiovascular system. Therefore, exercise can be used to unmask subtle cardiovascular changes that are not evident at rest. MRI is a proven method for comprehensive cardiovascular assessment in the resting state. Unfortunately, lack of fast imaging sequences and an appropriate exercise test has prohibited the use of isometric exer...
