Structural Findings in the Brain MRI of Patients with Acute Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Background: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning may lead to hypoxic/anoxic injury and eventually ischemic encephalopathy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has a well-recognized role in assessment of the severity of brain damage caused by CO poisoning. In this study, we aimed to present and analyze the structural abnormalities in the brain MRI and especially in diffusion weighted MRI (DWI) images in ...

Cardiac MRI findings in patients with Myocarditis

Methods Patients who underwent CMR at ICPS who were diagnosed with myocarditis on the basis of cardiac imaging and clinical findings (patients, n = 187) between November 2009 and September 2010 were identified through the use of the cardiology database. All patients underwent a similar protocol to look for: 1. LV and RV function 2. The presence of pleural effusion 2. Tissue edema, as seen by an...

Brain MRI Findings in Children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Background: Patients with leukemia are facing more complications in order to achieve longer survival. We aimed to evaluate the frequency of central nervous system abnormalities (CNS) on MRI of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Methods: Sixty-six children with diagnosis of ALL aged 2-18 years were recruited. Non-contrast sequences of brain MRI in addition to diffusion weighted i...
