The diagnosis of neurosarcoidosis may be difficult ifthere are no extracerebral manifestations ofthe disease, particularly in view of the non-specific nature of many of the investigations and Magnetic resonance i...

A Radiological Investigation in Rheumatology

Portal hypertension and its radiological investigation.

Non-invasive radiological investigation for oculomotor palsy.

An application of computed tomography (CT) is described in which multiplanar high resolution images of the terminal carotid and basilar arteries are obtained. This has been applied in a series of 32 patients with IIIrd nerve palsy in whom the underlying pathology was thought to be a posterior communicating artery aneurysm.

Clinical, Radiological, and Pathological Investigation of Asbestosis

By the radiological examination, differential diagnosis of asbestosis from chronic interstitial pneumonia such as IPF/UIP is difficult. The pathological features of asbestosis show the peribronchiolar fibrosis which suggest that asbestos fibers cause the inflammation of bronchioli. Therefore, the criteria for pathological diagnosis of asbestosis in 2010, contain the finding of peribronchiolar f...
