The NAA map in (a) the temporal and (b) frontal slice of voxels satisfying the quality control requirements, overlaid on T1-weighted images. Figure 1) Spatially normalized transverse (a) T1-weighted, (b) T2-, (c) CSF-, (d) ADC-, and (e) FA maps of a patient with epilepsy. Quantitative MR at 3.0 T of patients with non-symptomatic localization-related epilepsy: association with generalized and pa...

PURPOSE To evaluate diffusion weighted MRI (DW-MR) as a response metric for assessment of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with primary breast cancer using prospective multi-center trials which provided MR scans along with clinical outcome information. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 39 patients with locally advanced breast cancer accrued from three different prospective clinical t...

AIM To investigate the capability and diagnostic accuracy of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in differentiating benign from malignant breast lesions using 3 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MATERIALS AND METHODS Women with suspicious or indeterminate breast lesions detected at MRI, mammogram and/or ultrasound were recruited for dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI and DWI prior to their bi...

Introduction: To develop different radiomic models based on radiomic features and machine learning methods to predict early intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) response.   Materials and Methods: Thirty prostate patients were included. All patients underwent pre ad post-IMRT T2 weighted and apparent diffusing coefficient (ADC) magnetic resonance imagi...

We compared Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and 3D Endoanal Ultrasound (EAUS) imaging performance to confirm anal carcinoma and to monitor treatment response.58 patients with anal cancer were retrospectively enrolled. All patients underwent clinical examination, anoscopic examination; EAUS and contrast-enhanced MRI study before and after treatment. Four radiologists evaluated the presence of l...

The clinical diagnosis of transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor stroke is highly subjective, especially if the brain imaging does not reveal any evidence of ischemic lesion. Herein, I report a case of small vessel TIA and another case of lacunar infarction in which the ischemic lesions were detected with the perfusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A 76-year-old woman presented w...

Introduction The quantitative mapping of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) is useful to characterize brain response to global ischemia. This imaging modality detects ischemia-induced changes that correlate with the intraand extra-cellular water compartmentation, ionic equilibrium, and organized water movement. In this study, a rat asphyxial cardiac arrest (CA) and resuscitation model [1], fu...

BACKGROUND Early detection of hypoxic-ischemic (HI) injury in the asphyxic newborn is important because present prognostic factors are inadequate. Furthermore, therapeutic interventions may have additional benefit if initiated in time. PURPOSE To assess whether the use of a combined protocol including conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), diffusion t...
