A 40-year-old male presented with a single generalized tonic-clonic seizure. MRI revealed an enhancing, dural-based, left lateral sphenoid wing lesion suggestive of a meningioma. At microsurgical excision, the lesion was firm and relatively avascular. The histopathological report revealed S-100 positive histiocytic proliferation with lymphophagocytosis (emperipolesis) characteristic of the Rosa...

Aim: To investigate the diagnostic efficiency of apparent diffusion coefficient value (ADC) in differentiating benign from malignant breast lesions at 3.0 T diffusion-weighted imaging with different pair of b value. Methods: Total 110 patients with 107 lesions (44 benign and 63 malignant) were selected for our study with five different b-values 0, 400, 800, 1200 and 1600 s/mm2. ADC values were ...

1. Purpose Dynamic contrast enhanced breast MRI (DCE BMRI) has emerged as tool for breast cancer diagnosis. While DCE BMRI is known to have a high sensitivity studies show a limited specificity of the method, leading to a large number of benign lesions being biopsied. The present paper is part of an effort to address the clinical demand for computer-aided diagnosis tools to support radiologists...
