MR imaging characteristics of amyloid deposits in pituitary adenoma.
Although cases of pituitary adenomas containing amyloid deposits have been described in the literature, to our knowledge this is the first report to describe MR imaging characteristics of a pituitary adenoma containing almost entirely amyloid tissue.
متن کاملRe-evaluating the potentials and limitations of (99m)Tc-aprotinin scintigraphy for amyloid imaging.
The definitive diagnosis of amyloidosis is made histologically with Congo red stain. Noninvasive imaging techniques for amyloidosis are beneficial for early and definite diagnosis of amyloid deposition in the body. (99m)Tc-aprotinin has the benefit of detecting amyloid deposits mainly in the heart, but it can also detect a wide range of lesions in other locations. The usefulness and limitations...
متن کاملCerebral Amyloid Angiopathy: Emerging Concepts
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) involves cerebrovascular amyloid deposition and is classified into several types according to the amyloid protein involved. Of these, sporadic amyloid β-protein (Aβ)-type CAA is most commonly found in older individuals and in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Cerebrovascular Aβ deposits accompany functional and pathological changes in cerebral blood vesse...
متن کاملIn vivo molecular imaging of peripheral amyloidosis using heparin-binding peptides.
Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are ubiquitous components of pathologic amyloid deposits in the organs of patients with disorders such as Alzheimer's disease or systemic light chain (AL) or reactive (AA) amyloidosis. Molecular imaging methods for early detection are limited and generally unavailable outside the United Kingdom. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel, specific ...
متن کاملDifferentiation of active tumor from edematous regions of glioblastoma multiform tumor in diffusion MR images using heterogeneity analysis method
Background: Due to intrinsic heterogeneity of cellular distribution and density within diffusion weighted images (DWI) of glioblastoma multiform (GBM) tumors, differentiation of active tumor and peri-tumoral edema regions within these tumors is challenging. The aim of this paper was to take advantage of the differences among heterogeneity of active tumor and edematous regions within the gliobla...
