Organized pericardial hematomas: magnetic resonance imaging.

Diagnosis of pericardial cysts using diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging: A case series

INTRODUCTION Congenital pericardial cysts are benign lesions that arise from the pericardium during embryonic development. The diagnosis is based on typical imaging features, but atypical locations and signal magnetic resonance imaging sequences make it difficult to exclude other lesions. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging is a novel method that can be used to differentiate tissues b...

A classic diagnosis with a new ‘spin’

We describe a case of pericardial constriction following viral pericarditis and illustrate the use of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnostic process. The advantages of cardiac magnetic resonance in the investigation of pericardial disease are briefly explained.

Primary Enlarged Craniotomy in Organized Chronic Subdural Hematomas

The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of craniotomy and membranectomy as initial treatment of organized chronic subdural hematoma (OCSH). We retrospectively reviewed a series of 34 consecutive patients suffering from OCSH, diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or contrast computer tomography (CCT) in order to establish the degree of organization and determine the intrahematom...

Use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Food Quality Control: A Review

Modern challenges of food science require a new understanding of the determinants of food quality and safety. Application of advanced imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has seen impressive successes and fast growth over the past decade. Since MRI does not have any harmful ionizing radiation, it can be considered as a magnificent tool for the quality control of food prod...
