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 کاملSarcoidosis with bone involvement mimicking metastatic disease at 18F-FDG PET/CT: problem solving by diffusion whole-body MRI
Bone involvement has been reported in 1-13% of patients with sarcoidosis. Both 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) and conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are sensitive in detecting sarcoidosis bone lesions, but are not always reliable in differentiating sarcoidosis bone lesions from metastatic disease, thus often requiring bone...

متن کاملCoincidence of Sarcoidosis With Ankylosing Spondylitis in a 48-Year-Old Woman; A Therapeutic Challenge
Introduction: A case of pulmonary sarcoidosis is reported because of difficulties in diagnosis and treatment, including the co-existence of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and severe corticosteroid dependence. Case Presentation: A 48-year-old nonsmoking woman referred to the hospital because of chronic nonproductive cough and dyspnea with a 10-year history of...
متن کاملAssessment of Organ Specific Iron Overload in Transfusion-dependent Thalassemia by Magnetic Resonance Imaging Techniques
The consequence of repeated blood transfusions in thalassemia is iron overload in different organs. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a reliable, non-invasive and accurate method for iron detection in various tissues, hence the introduction of MRI has revolutionized the management of these patients and improved the life expectancy of them. Cardiac MRI T2* has a profound effect not only on est...
