چکیده

We herein describe the case of a patient with chronic renal failure complicated by star fruit poisoning. T2-weighted and diffusion-weighted MR imaging showed hyperintense lesions at the thalami and right temporo-occipital cortex. Single voxel proton MR spectroscopy revealed elevation of lactate and (31)phosphorous MR spectroscopy revealed elevation of inorganic phosphate and decrease of phosphocreatine and nucleoside triphosphates. The imaging and metabolic changes indicated energy deprivation, with subsequent cortical necrosis proved at autopsy.

Comparison between MRS and DWI in MRI of breast cancer

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and is the second leading cause of cancer death (after lung cancer) in people throughout the world. Today, MRI is being used because of the limitations of x-ray mammography to detect breast cancer. Non-contrast sequences were associated to CE sequences in a breast MRI protocol for the sake of appraising morphologic ...

Differentiation 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...

Proton spectroscopy and diffusion imaging on the first day of life after perinatal asphyxia: preliminary report.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MR techniques have proved useful in assessing brain injury from perinatal asphyxia when the injury is subacute or chronic. Recent advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms of brain injury have made medical intervention plausible, creating a need for assessment of the brain within the first few hours of life. We report the results of early (first 24 hours after bi...

MR imaging, MR angiography, and MR spectroscopy of the brain in eclampsia.

PURPOSE To compare the MR imaging and MR angiographic changes with in vivo proton MR spectroscopic findings and to determine the spectral differences between edema and ischemia in patients with eclampsia. METHODS Spin-echo MR imaging, MR angiography, and single-voxel proton MR spectroscopy were performed in 10 patients with eclampsia. MR studies were obtained within 3 to 5 days of diagnosis a...

Combination of single-voxel proton MR spectroscopy and apparent diffusion coefficient calculation in the evaluation of common brain tumors.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MR spectroscopy and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) calculation have been used frequently for tumor grading and differentiation during the last decade. We evaluated whether the combination of these two techniques can improve the diagnostic effectiveness of MR imaging in patients with brain tumors. METHODS Forty-nine patients with histologically proved brain tumors ...
