MR imaging of myotendinous strain.

Spatially resolved imaging of myocardial function with strain-encoded MR: comparison with delayed contrast-enhanced MR imaging after myocardial infarction.

Strain-encoded magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was prospectively evaluated for direct imaging of systolic myocardial strain and compared with cross-registered delayed contrast material-enhanced MR imaging in five healthy volunteers and nine patients with infarction. Local contractile performance was decreased in infarcted myocardium versus that in remote and adjacent myocardium (P < .01) and in...

MR imaging

Biliary tract neoplasms are commonly accounted for by cholangiocarcinoma and biliary cystadenoma/carcinoma and other less common tumors including papillary neoplasms, lymphoma and metastases. Although cholangiocarcinoma is a rare tumour (<2% of all cancer), it is the second most common primary hepatobiliary malignant tumour after hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This tumour actually encompasses ...

MR imaging of neurocysticercosis.

Twenty-six patients with neurocysticercosis were studied with MR imaging to correlate their clinical presentation with the location and appearance of their neurocysticercosis lesions. Intraventricular cysts were present in 14 patients (54%), parenchymal cysts were present in 18 (69%), and intraventricular together with parenchymal cysts were present in six (23%). Intraventricular cysts were det...
