Comparison of autofluoroscope brain imaging with rectilinear scanning and neuroradiologic examinations.

Assessment of Patient Dose from CT Examinations in Khorasan, Iran

Introduction Computed Tomography scans are a very important tool for diagnosis and assessment of response to treatment in the practice of medicine. Ionizing radiation in medical imaging is undoubtedly one of the most powerful diagnostic tools in medicine. Yet, as with all medical interventions, there are potential risks in addition to the clear potential benefits. Materials and Methods Two refe...

Diagnostic and therapeutic consequences of repeat brain imaging and follow-up vascular imaging in stroke patients.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recently, the diagnostic and therapeutic importance of repeat radiologic imaging in stroke patients has been questioned. The aim of this study was to show the therapeutic and diagnostic consequences of both repeat brain imaging and follow-up vascular imaging in this group of patients. METHODS Neuroradiologic images and reports as well as clinical records of 317 patients...

Comparison of rectilinear vertex and transverse section views in brain scanning.

Neuroradiologic findings in Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome.

PURPOSE Our purpose was to determine the neuroradiologic findings of Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome on plain skull radiographs, CT, and MR images. METHODS Eight patients with proved Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome (age range, 4 to 56 years) had a total of nine CT scans, seven MR imaging studies, and two plain radiographic examinations of the skull. The findings were reviewed retrospectively, with part...

Comparison of Two Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping Measurement Methods Used For Anatomical Localization of the Iron-Incorporated Deep Brain Nuclei

Introduction Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is a new contrast mechanism in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The images produced by the QSM enable researchers and clinicians to easily localize specific structures of the brain, such as deep brain nuclei. These nuclei are targets in many clinical applications and therefore their easy localization is a must. In this study, we aimed to i...
