introduction cardiac hydatid cysts are rare and represent less than 2% of all hydatid cases. they can occur as part of a widespread systemic infection or an isolated event. case presentation here, we presented a case of cardiac hydatid cyst in interventricular septum. conclusions the case presented had some findings that suggested the specific diagnosis of hydatid cyst.

abstract radionuclide cisternography (rnc) is of potential value in pointing out the sites of cerebrospinal fluid (csf) leakage in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension (sih). in the current report, we present two patients who underwent rnc for suspected csf leakage. both patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and rnc for evaluation. we describe a simple method to incr...

abstract background iron overload is the main transfusion related side effects in patients with transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathies. severe iron deposition in tissues leads to organ dysfunction. many organs can be affected such as heart, liver, and endocrine organs. cardiac failure and liver fibrosis are the consequent of iron overload in transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathy. magnetic re...

Background: Back pain is a common patients’ complaint, and its etiology is important because of different potential treatment approaches (based on causes). For a better diagnosis, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely used in clinical settings that may result in inappropriate requests. This study aims to evaluate the appropriateness of the lumbosacral MRI requests in patients with ba...

Introduction: Along with the increased use of cardiac imaging at clinics there is increased attention to the potential risks related to the methods used like magnetic resonance (MR) and it cannot be ruled out that MR can alter DNA structure. The aim of this review is to assess the impact of routine cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) scanning on DNA damages in human T lymphocytes....

introduction a discoid medial meniscus is a rare pathology of the knee joint, and is even rarer when it presents bilaterally with clinical symptoms. case presentation we present the case of a 38-year-old female with symptomatic bilateral discoid medial meniscus. magnetic resonance imaging (mri) showed complete discoid meniscus in one knee and incomplete, on the other side. the mri findings were...

Moyamoya disease is extremely rare. In children, it one of the rare causes ischemic stroke. We present a 4-year-old female patient diagnosed with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Angiography (MRA). case chronic lacunar infarct in white matter on magnetic resonance imaging, cigarette smoke image characterized by diffuse collateral vascular networks was observed MRA imaging. Since rare, we th...

Dogs presented to the Small Animal Hospital of Veterinary Medicine, University of Tehran were included in the present study if spinal or intervertebral disc involvement was suspected. Clinical signs were recorded as well as general information of the patient such as age, breed and sex. Sixty dogs were examined radiographically and two standard orthogonal lateral and ventrodorsal projections wer...

A 20-year-old woman was admitted to a Gynecology Hospital in her 6th month of pregnancy for high blood pressure and tonic-clonic seizure. Primary diagnosis was eclampsia, and for that reason she underwent cesarean section. She also had headache on frontal and parietal areas without nausea or vomiting. There was not a focal neurological sign. Rheumatology consultation was requested. Systemic lup...

Neurofibroma of the prostate is an extremely rare benign tumor, particularly when it is not associated with neurofibromatosis-I (NF-1). This study aimed to report the case of a 44-year-old man who presented with dysuria for about 4 years. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a mass in the prostate with “target sign” on T2-weighted imaging. The mass was surgically excised, and histopathologic...
