Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging of chest tumors
This review provides an overview of the current status of the published data on diffusion magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of chest tumors. Diffusion MR imaging is a non-invasive imaging technique that measures the differences in water mobility in different tissue microstructures and quantifies them based on the apparent diffusion coefficient. Diffusion MR imaging has been used for the character...
متن کاملThe Utility of Diffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Detection of the Origin of the Brain Solid Metastatic Tumors
Background: Early diagnosis of brain tumors has significant effect on the treatment process. Brain metastatic tumors are usually diagnosed following the neurological symptoms in patients or incidentally after Computerized Tomography (CT) scan and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) requests of the brain. Objectives: Implementation of a new method for being informed about the origin of brain tumors...
متن کاملpreoperative grading of astrocytic supratentorial brain tumors with diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and apparent diffusion coefficient
background diffusion-weighted imaging (dwi) is a form of magnetic resonance imaging (mri) based on measuring the random brownian motion of water molecules within the biological tissues and is particularly useful in tumor characterization. objectives the purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of dw mri and the apparent diffusion coefficient (adc) for preoperative grading of a...
متن کاملFactors Associated with Requesting Magnetic Resonance Imaging during the Management of Glomus Tumors
Background: The characteristic clinical presentation of glomus tumors and the low negative predictive value of themagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) raise the question whether MRI improves their management. Therefore, this studyaimed to investigate whether MRI improved the management of glomus tumors.Methods: In total, 87 patients with a histologically confirmed glomus tumor wer...
