Evaluation of Diffusion-weighted MR Imaging as a Technique for Detecting Bone Marrow Edema in Patients with Osteitis Pubis
PURPOSE Our aims were to determine the feasibility of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) in the detection of bone marrow edema (BME) and explore the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) alterations in patients with osteitis pubis (OP). MATERIALS AND METHODS 42 consecutive patients clinically suspected to have athletic pubalgia and 31 control subjects were enrolled in the stud...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted imaging of bone marrow.
In diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI-MRI), the observed MRI signal intensity is attenuated by the self-diffusion of water molecules. DWI can provide information about the microscopic structure and organization of biological tissue and thus can depict various pathological changes of organs or tissues. DWI has been successfully used for the characterization of bone marrow alterat...
متن کاملA preliminary report of brain edema in patients with uremia at first hemodialysis: evaluation by diffusion-weighted MR imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The dynamics of brain-water content associated with hemodialysis in patients with severe azotemia remains obscure. To investigate whether either interstitial or cytotoxic edema is responsible for dialysis disequilibrium syndrome (DDS), we used diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) to measure the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), which is sensitive for detecting tissue w...
متن کاملTreating a Patient with Bone Marrow Edema Syndrome with Iloprost
Bone Marrow Edema Syndrome (BMES) is an uncommon, self-limited and with unknown etiology characterized by severe pain with no history of trauma. Due to low prevalence of BMES and its non-specific signs, correct diagnosis is often delayed intensifying bone pain and impairing patients’ function and quality of life. In this study we treated a patient with bone marrow edema syndrome in right a...
