Neuro-Behcet's disease: diffusion MR imaging and proton MR spectroscopy.
We herein report the case of a 53-year-old woman with Behcet's disease and an acute T2-hyperintense lesion in left side of the pons. Echo-planar "trace" diffusion MR imaging revealed high signal intensity changes at the lesion site on b = 1000 s/mm(2) images, initially suggesting restricted diffusion. On corresponding apparent diffusion coefficient maps, however, the lesion had high signal inte...
متن کاملProton Mr Spectroscopy in Brain Metabolic Disorders
Metabolic disorders of the central nervous system (CNS) include pathologies with extremely different pathogenesis. The clinical diagnosis of these disorders is often very difficult and requires sophisticated laboratory investigations. Proton magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy (1H-MRS) has been recently used in a number of clinical studies to supplement conventional MRI as it is able to provid...
متن کاملProton MR spectroscopy of brain abscesses.
We read with great interest the article by Pal et al. The authors reported on their experience with the application of proton MR (HMR) spectroscopy in the imaging evaluation of patients harboring intracranial abscess. In their retrospective study, they examined 194 patient charts and imaging studies, and they concluded that the detection of cytosolic amino acids is a strong indication of an abs...
متن کاملBrain abscess and necrotic brain tumor: discrimination with proton MR spectroscopy and diffusion-weighted imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Discriminating pyogenic brain abscesses from cystic or necrotic tumors is sometimes difficult with CT or MR imaging. We compared findings of proton MR spectroscopy ((1)H-MRS) with those of diffusion-weighted imaging to determine which technique was more effective for this differential diagnosis. METHODS Fourteen patients (necrotic or cystic tumor [n = 7]; pyogenic absce...
متن کاملProton MR Spectroscopy
Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) has been in use in biochemistry labs for more than 50 yr. In its earlier years, it was used primarily for in vitro chemical analysis of small samples. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful imaging technique that combines exquisite sensitivity to soft tissue contrast with the ability to demonstrate anatomy in many different planes and projec...
