چکیده

history of the disease confronting the patient. Proper protocols must ensure areas of coverage for lymphoma, including all the areas of probable involvement, with images of adequate spatial resolution (in general, section thickness not to exceed 3 to 4 mm and field of view not to exceed 16 to 18 cm) and with the viewing of images at appropriate window settings. With the use of a good technique, thoughtful interpretation, and consultation with our clinical colleagues, we cannot help but deliver more effective diagnoses and management of patients with lymphoma and other malignant processes in the head and neck region.

Low field strength magnetic resonance imaging of the neonatal brain.

BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the neonate has been restricted by the need to transport the sick baby to the large magnetic resonance scanners and often the need for sedation or anaesthesia in order to obtain good quality images. Ultrasound is the reference standard for neonatal imaging. OBJECTIVE To establish a dedicated neonatal MR system and compare the clinical usefulness o...

The magnetic resonance revolution in brain imaging: impact on neonatal intensive care.

T he magnetic resonance (MR) phenomenon was first described in 1946 2 but it was not until 1981 that the first transverse image through the human head was reported. In the last 20 years, MR technology has revolutionised medical and scientific neuroimaging, providing the richest source of information about the living brain available from any imaging technology and without the use of ionising rad...

Motion-compensation techniques in neonatal and fetal MR imaging.

SUMMARY Fetal and neonatal MR imaging is increasingly used as a complementary diagnostic tool to sonography. MR imaging is an ideal technique for imaging fetuses and neonates because of the absence of ionizing radiation, the superior contrast of soft tissues compared with sonography, the availability of different contrast options, and the increased FOV. Motion in the normally mobile fetus and t...

An MR/CT compatible neonatal incubator

INTRODUCTION Neonatal imaging is of growing importance as the effects of premature birth are becoming better controlled and babies are surviving from earlier gestational ages. Prematurity can often lead to consequences for the CNS and other parts of the body and MR is highly relevant for imaging this population as it is non-invasive and so allows follow up scanning. There have been two main app...
