Non-uniformity of Clinical Head, Head and Neck, and Body Coils in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Introduction Signal intensity uniformity in a magnetic resonance (MR) image indicates how well the MR imaging (MRI) system represents an object. One of the major sources of image non-uniformity in high-field MRI scanners is inhomogeneity of radio-frequency coil. The aim of this study was to investigate non-uniformity in head, head and neck, and body coils and compare the obtained results to det...

PHACES syndrome with cataract and Horner’s syndrome: a case report

PHACES syndrome (Posterior Fossa Malformations, Hemangioma, Arterial Anomalies, Cardiac Defects and Coarctation of the Aorta, Eye Abnormalities, and Sternal Abnormalities or Ventral Developmental Defects) is a rare neurocutaneous syndrome, which characteristic feature is large segmental hemangioma. Extracutaneous involvement is an important cause of morbidity in this syndrome.<br /...

Cerebral Palsy and Patterns of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): A Review

Cerebral Palsy is the most common chronic motor disorder of childhood, that affecting approximately 3 infants per 1000 live-births. The risk of brain injuries that potentially cause Cerebral Palsy has amplified with increasing in survival rates for preterm infants. In addition Cerebral Palsy has a huge economic impact, to immeasurable health, social, and psychological problems that affected chi...

Dynamic Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI) and Diffusion Weighted MR Imaging (DWI) for Differentiation between Benign and Malignant Salivary Gland Tumors

Background: Salivary gland tumors form nearly 3% of head and neck tumors. Due to their large histological variety and vicinity to facial nerves, pre-operative diagnosis and differentiation of benign and malignant parotid tumors are a major challenge for radiologists. Objective: The majority of these tumors are benign; however, sometimes they tend to transform into a malignant form. Functional M...
