rhabdomyosarcoma metastasis to the breast: appearance on diffusion-weighted imaging and apparent diffusion coefficient sequences
rhabdomyosarcoma is a common primary childhood malignancy that rarely metastasizes to the breast. we report a patient with a primary sinonasal rhabdomyosarcoma metastasizing to the breast, with no distant spread. we describe the imaging appearance of rhabdomyosarcoma on magnetic resonance imaging (mri), particularly on diffusion-weighted imaging (dwi) and apparent diffusion coefficient (adc) se...
متن کاملEvolution of apparent diffusion coefficient, diffusion-weighted, and T2-weighted signal intensity of acute stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Serial study of such MR parameters as diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), ADC with fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (ADC(FLAIR)), and T2-weighted imaging may provide information on the pathophysiological mechanisms of acute ischemic stroke. Our goals were to establish the natural evolution of MR signal intensity characteristics of ac...
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 کاملSegmentation of Ischemic Lesion from Diffusion Weighted MRI and MR Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Maps
The utility of diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) in the assessment of acute ischemic stroke is now becoming well-established. The quantitative evaluation of the lesion is however problematic because of the lower resolution of clinical images in the context of extreme emergency. We have developed a new segmentation technique to extract the ischemic areas from standard, clinical DWI image volumes. Tho...
متن کاملMetronidazole-induced encephalopathy and inferior olivary hypertrophy: lesion analysis with diffusion-weighted imaging and apparent diffusion coefficient maps.
BACKGROUND Although several cases of metronidazole-induced encephalopathy have been reported, to our knowledge, there is no previous report of brain changes in anterior commissure, basal ganglia, cerebellar white matter, and inferior olivary nuclei on magnetic resonance images. The precise mechanisms of action of metronidazole-induced encephalopathy have not been determined. OBJECTIVES To rep...
