Somatotopic distribution of motor cortex and sensory fibers is theoretically fully understood. We present a case of stroke, mimicking peripheral palsy, with finger paralysis attributed to cortical lesion. The patient’s brain MRI may be useful to further understand the somatotopic representation of fingers in precentral and postcentral gyrus.

We aimed to evaluate prospectively the efficacy of positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) plus brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for detecting extrathoracic metastases in lung adenocarcinoma. Metastatic evaluations were feasible for 442 consecutive patients (M:F=238:204; mean age, 54 yr) with a lung adenocarcinoma who underwent PET/CT (CT, without IV contrast medium in...

introduction: brain abscess in pregnancy is very rare, which mostly progresses to neurological abnormalities. case presentation: the patient is a 24-year-old pregnant woman. she was referred to saitama hospital due to severe headache and nausea on october 2008. brain mri detected a 1.5 cm abscess mass with extensive edema in the right frontal lobe. we performed intensive therapy using some anti...

radical resection of a pathological lesion along with the preservation of eloquent cerebral tissue is the principle goal of neurosurgery. brain lesions are usually diagnosed by conventional magnetic resonance imaging (mri), but this method is unable to describe the relationship between lesions and neighboring specific white matter (wm) tracts. diffusion tensor tractograghy (dtt) is a new sophis...

<span lang="EN-US">Brain is the most important part of nervous system. Brain tumor mainly a mass or growth abnormal tissues in brain. Early detection brain can reduce complex treatment process. Magnetic resonance images (MRI) are used to detect tumor. In this paper, we have introduced deep convolutional neural network (CNN) automatic segmentation using MRI medical which solve vanishing gr...

The INSERT is the world’s first clinical SPECT-MRI brain imaging system based on scintillation detectors with a silicon photomultiplier readout. Here, we demonstrate its use within MRI environment for time. Using standard transmit-receive head coil, and an appropriate selection of custom sequence (GRE), overcome mutual interference. bulky 50kg tungsten collimator introduce magnetic field inhomo...
