Combining diffusion-weighted MR imaging with Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MR imaging improves the detection of colorectal liver metastases
Introduction: In patients with colorectal cancer, accurate assessment of the size, location and segmental distribution of liver metastases on a per-lesion basis is critical for treatment planning. Diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DW-MRI) has a high sensitivity and specificity for liver metastasis detection [1-3]. Combining DW-MRI with T1-weighted imaging after liver specific contrast medium Magaf...
متن کاملDiagnostic Performance and Safety of Positron Emission Tomography Using 18F-Fluciclovine in Patients with Clinically Suspected High- or Low-grade Gliomas: A Multicenter Phase IIb Trial
Objective(s): The study objective was to assess the diagnostic performance of positron emission tomography (PET) for gliomas using the novel tracer 18F-fluciclovine (anti-[18F]FACBC) and to evaluate the safety of this tracer in patients with clinically suspected gliomas.Methods: Anti-[18F]FACBC was administered to 40 patients with clinically suspected high- or low-grade gliomas, followed by PET...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging in focal liver lesions: Imaging with pathological correlation
Background: Magnetic resonance signal intensity of focal liver lesions is affected by numerous pathologic factors. Lesion histologic features, such as cellularity, vascularity, stromal component, and intratumoral necrosis or hemorrhage, strongly affect T1 and T2 relaxation times. Aim: Our study is done to assess the lesion characterization potential of MRI by evaluating unenhanced and dynamic g...
متن کاملImaging of liver metastases: MRI
Metastases are the most common malignant liver lesions and the most common indication for hepatic imaging. Specific characterization of liver metastases in patients with primary non-hepatic tumors is crucial to avoid unnecessary diagnostic work-up for incidental benign liver lesions. Magnetic resonance (MR) is rapidly emerging as the imaging modality of choice for detection and characterization...
متن کاملMRI of the pancreas: tumours and tumour-simulating processes
The most important issues in pancreatic imaging are the detection and staging of pancreatic cancer, differentiation between cancer and focal pancreatitis, the characterization of cystic lesions and the search for neuroendocrine tumours. Magnetic resonance (MR) units (1.5 T) with strong gradients and a phased-array torso coil should be used, making breath-hold imaging possible in order to avoid ...
