PURPOSE To investigate the image quality and vessel depiction of renal MRA with integrated parallel imaging techniques (iPAT) using acceleration factors of 2 and 3. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this prospective study renal MRA was performed on 14 and 12 patients with acceleration factors of 3 and 2, respectively. For the MRA a 3D-GRE sequence with an acquired spatial resolution of 0.9 x 0.8 x 1.0...

artner duct cysts, the most common benign cystic lesion of the vagina, represent embryologic remnants of the caudal end of the mesonephric (wolffian) duct.1 These cysts are usually small and asymptomatic and have been reported to occur in as many as 1% of all women.1,2 Because the ureteral bud also develops from the wolffian duct, it is not surprising that Gartner duct cysts have been associate...

Introduction: Detection of atherosclerotic plaque with iron oxide contrast agents (e.g. SPIO) that induce a susceptibility effect in MRI is sometimes hindered by competing sources of negative contrast. There is also the characteristic blooming artefact associated with dephasing in the presence of SPIO. Solutions utilising MR sequences to convert the hypo-intensities into a positive contrast oft...

Primary aldosteronism is a potentially curable cause of hypertension, especially when caused by an adrenal adenoma. Aldosteronomas because of their small size often elude techniques to locate them. This case illustrates the advantages, disadvantages and complications of noninvasive techniques used for their diagnosis. A patient with hypertension and hypokalemia underwent an adrenal venous efflu...

BACKGROUND In the treatment of pulmonary embolism (PE), the presence of residual emboli is known to seriously affect the recurrence and prognosis. We attempted to depict the residual emboli in the subacute stage of PE using indium-111-oxine labeled platelet scintigraphy (In-plt). METHODS In-plt was performed on 22 patients with PE who showed an improvement according to lung perfusion scintigr...
