Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging in extrathoracic sarcoidosis.
The course of sarcoidosis is heterogeneous, and the assessment of pulmonary and extrathoracic organ involvement is important for clinical treatment decisions [1]. Whole-body imaging techniques have been evaluated to assess total disease activity [2, 3]. F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and FDG-PET/computed tomography (CT) allow a complete picture of active intra...

متن کاملWhole-body magnetic resonance imaging: an effective and underutilized technique
Radiol Bras. 2015 Mai/Jun;48(3):IX–X Among others, one particular advantage of whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (wbMRI) is the absence of ionizing radiation, a factor that is especially relevant in pediatric imaging, due to the increased sensitivity of children to ionizing radiation. Another important advantage is the high accuracy of the method in the investigation of bone marrow and soli...
متن کاملPompe Disease and Normal Whole-Body Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
Pompe disease (PD) or glycogen storage disease type II, is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a defi ciency in the lysosomal enzyme acid alpha-glucosidase. Several phenotypes have been described, ranging from rapidly progressive infantile forms to slowly progressive late-onset forms. Recent studies have shown that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), based principally on signal inten...
