Usefulness of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging-guided biopsy: pyothorax-associated lymphoma.
The relatively rare entity pyothorax-associated lymphoma (PAL) is an aggressive disease with a poor prognosis. Therefore, PAL should be diagnosed as soon as possible with minimal invasion. We herein report the case of an 81-year-old man with PAL that was successfully treated with chemotherapy. A computed tomography-guided tumor biopsy could not provide adequate specimens for pathological invest...
متن کاملImproving CT-guided transthoracic biopsy of mediastinal lesions by diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the preliminary results obtained using diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and the apparent diffusion coefficient for planning computed tomography-guided biopsies of selected mediastinal lesions. METHODS Eight patients with mediastinal lesions suspicious for malignancy were referred for computed tomography-guided biopsy. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance i...
متن کاملCardiac and Hepatic T2*-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Abstract Background Iron overload is the main transfusion related side effects in patients with transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathies. Severe iron deposition in tissues leads to organ dysfunction. Many organs can be affected such as heart, liver, and endocrine organs. Cardiac failure and liver fibrosis are the consequent of Iron overload in transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathy. Magne...
متن کاملUsefulness of magnetic resonance imaging-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy in Korean women: a pilot study
BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided vacuum-assisted biopsy is the technique of choice for lesions that are visible only with breast MRI. The purpose of this study was to report our clinical experience with MRI-guided vacuum-assisted biopsy in Korean women. METHODS A total of 13 patients with 15 lesions for MRI-guided vacuum-assisted biopsy were prospectively entered into this s...
