A N 8-YEAR-OLD BOY being treated with c h e m o t h e r a p y owing to stage IIIA Hodgkin disease was admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit because of fever and respiratory distress in the previous 2 weeks. Despite full antibiotic coverage, his condition worsened, and 7 days later, he underwent a lung biopsy. On the next day, he developed headache, vomiting, and progressive coma. A brai...

Medical imaging is placing a major role in diagnosing the diseases and in image guided surgery. There are various imaging modalities for different applications giving the anatomical and physiological conditions of the patient. Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) are used to analyze the human organs without surgery. Detection of the tumor is the main objective of the system. Detection plays a critica...

introduction an unusual incidence of tuberculosis in different parts of the body is called tuberculomas. the rate of brain tuberculosis is rare. case presentation the following case of tuberculamas of the brain, presented by enhancing rings of meninges, is reported because of its rarity. it was a case of brain tuberculomas in a 15-year-old girl with primary symptoms of headache and general weak...

lipomatosis of the nerve, also known as fibrolipomatous hamartoma, is characterized by the infiltration of the nerve by fibro-fatty tissue. the affected nerve becomes thicker, and it simulates a mass lesion. lipomatosis usually affects the median nerve and lipomatosis of the sciatic nerve is extremely rare. magnetic resonance imaging (mri) is the key to diagnosis, and it is usually pathognomoni...

conclusion these data indicate that while ce-mri will depict more positive results, there are cases in which dwi will show a positive result while ce-mri is negative. we suggest that the combination of these two imaging modalities might yield more positive results in diagnosing acute ms attack giving rise to a more accurate diagnosis. results ce-mri yielded positive results for 61 (87%) patient...

The closing sentence of Paul Lauterbur’s seminal article describing magnetic resonance imaging is “ Zeugmatigraphic (imaging) techniques should find many useful applications in studies of the internal structures, states, and compositions of microscopic objects” [1] – an obvious understatement about the impact MRI has had on modern medicine and science. MRI continues to deliver exciting new oppo...
