Head and neck paragangliomas: diffusion weighted and dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging characteristics
BACKGROUND To determine the feature values of head and neck paragangliomas on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS Patients with primary head and neck paraganglioma who underwent both DWI and DCE-MRI before treatment between January 2010 and June 2013 were identified. Two radiologists assessed apparent diffusion coeffic...
متن کاملPrimary breast osteosarcoma: dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging, proton spectroscopy and diffusion weighted imaging findings.
Dear Editor, Primary pure osteosarcoma of the breast is a rare malignant tumour and is histologically indistinguishable from conventional osteosarcoma of the bone and other extraskeletal sites. Being a rare entity that is briefl y reported in the radiology literature, it has some interesting imaging features worthy of discussion. Here we report the novel fi ndings of dynamic contrast-enhanced M...
متن کاملDynamic Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI) and Diffusion Weighted MR Imaging (DWI) for Differentiation between Benign and Malignant Salivary Gland Tumors
Background: Salivary gland tumors form nearly 3% of head and neck tumors. Due to their large histological variety and vicinity to facial nerves, pre-operative diagnosis and differentiation of benign and malignant parotid tumors are a major challenge for radiologists. Objective: The majority of these tumors are benign; however, sometimes they tend to transform into a malignant form. Functional M...
متن کاملNon-uniformity of Clinical Head, Head and Neck, and Body Coils in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Introduction Signal intensity uniformity in a magnetic resonance (MR) image indicates how well the MR imaging (MRI) system represents an object. One of the major sources of image non-uniformity in high-field MRI scanners is inhomogeneity of radio-frequency coil. The aim of this study was to investigate non-uniformity in head, head and neck, and body coils and compare the obtained results to det...
متن کاملQuantitative Analysis of Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced and Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Oncology in R
The package dcemriS4 provides a complete set of data analysis tools for the quantitative assessment of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI. Image processing is provided for the ANALYZE and NIfTI data formats as inputs with all parameter estimates being output in NIfTI format. Estimation of T1 relaxation from multiple flip-angle acquisitions, using either constant or spatially-varying flip angles, is ...
