Contrast-enhanced lesions on computerised tomography in multiple sclerosis.
Two patients are described in whom computerised tomography revealed contrast-enhanced lesions in the early stages of multiple sclerosis. Such lesions may be differentiated from tumours by their transient nature, lack of space-occupying effect, and localisation in the white matter. Contrast enhancement in demyelinating disease is probably related to local breakdown of the blood-brain barrier.
متن کاملEvolution of multiple sclerosis lesions on serial contrast-enhanced T1-weighted and magnetization-transfer MR images.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Magnetization-transfer imaging is a technique that could provide indirect evidence of the characteristics of multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions. The purpose of this work was to study the evolution of MS lesions on T1-weighted MR images over time and to investigate changes in magnetization-transfer ratio (MTR) values of MS lesions with different initial appearances on contras...
متن کاملCharacteristics of focal liver lesions in arterial phase on contrast-enhanced ultrasound and contrast--enhanced computed tomography - comparative study.
BACKGROUND To compare the features of focal liver lesions in the arterial phase on contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT). MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 38 lesions in 29 patients with focal liver lesions (FLL) were examined with CEUS and CECT. The characteristics of the enhancement were determined, especially in the early arterial phase (0~...
متن کاملMultiple Sclerosis Role of Contrast-enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Multiple Sclerosis
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important diagnostic tool in different central nervous system (CNS) disorders including brain cancer and cerebrovascular, inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. The most commonly used MRI contrast agents are gadolinium-based compounds that have been successfully employed in combination with T1-weighted sequences to detect and monitor focal disease-re...
متن کاملEnhanced expression of NGF receptors in multiple sclerosis lesions.
The receptor for nerve growth factor (NGF) comprises a 75-kDa (NGFRp75) and a tyrosine kinase A (TrkA) subunit. In view of conflicting opinions on the identity of glial targets of NGF in human central nervous system (CNS), we examined the cellular distribution of both NGF receptor subunits in normal CNS and in chronic multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions. For this, we compared the pattern of recogni...
