The lymphatic system plays critical roles in tissue fluid homeostasis and immunity has been implicated the development of many different pathologies, ranging from lymphedema, spread cancer to chronic inflammation. In this review, we first summarize state-of-the-art imaging clinic advantages disadvantages these existing techniques. We then detail recent progress on technology, including advancem...

the advent of dual-modality pet/ct imaging has revolutionized the practice of clinical oncology, cardiology and neurology by improving lesions localization and the possibility of accurate quantitative analysis. in addition, the use of ct images for ct-based attenuation correction (ctac) allows to decrease the overall scanning time and to create a noise-free attenuation map (μmap). the near simu...

Objective(s): Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with a wide range of clinical manifestations. Cognitive dysfunction is one of the manifestations that could present prior to the emergence of any other neuropsychiatric involvements in SLE. Cognitive dysfunction is a subtle condition occurring with ahigh frequency. However, there is no data on the correlation of cognitive...

results stereoscopic displays of the nerves were obtained in all 24 elbows by vr, mip, and fiber tractography post-processing methods. the vr/mip post-processing methods were easier to perform compared to fiber tractography. there was no significant difference among the scores of fiber tracking and vr/mip reconstruction for single direction. the imaging quality scores of fiber tractography and ...

rhabdomyosarcoma is a common primary childhood malignancy that rarely metastasizes to the breast. we report a patient with a primary sinonasal rhabdomyosarcoma metastasizing to the breast, with no distant spread. we describe the imaging appearance of rhabdomyosarcoma on magnetic resonance imaging (mri), particularly on diffusion-weighted imaging (dwi) and apparent diffusion coefficient (adc) se...
