PURPOSE To assess if 3T MRI can be further improved by adding surface coil imaging, in the context of detection and characterization of cerebral lesions in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. METHODS Twenty five patients with drug-resistant epilepsy undergoing evaluation for epilepsy surgery were examined with high resolution 3T MRI. The patients were MRI-negative (n = 15), or had unclear ...

background & aim: conjoined nerve root is defined as two adjacent nerve roots that share a common dural envelope at some points during their course from the thecal sac. this study reports our experience of conjoined roots involving three cases in dakar. methods & materials/patients: this is a consecutive study from 2013 to 2015 involving patients supported for disc herniation and who have prese...

objectives our objectives were to determine if: 1) imaging pattern at recurrence is associated with delayed diagnosis, and 2) appearance at recurrence can be predicted based on appearance at presentation. conclusion imaging appearance at baseline does not reliably predict imaging appearance at recurrence. therefore, a high index of suspicion for the infiltrative pattern is required in assessmen...

in recent years, the development of neuroimaging techniques such as high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (mri), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fmri), positron emission tomography (pet), or single photon emission tomography (spect) has promoted the identification of structural and functional characteristics underlying mental disorders to a great extent. in anxiety disorders, recent...

conclusions test-retest and correlation analyses have identified non-redundant radiomics features and this feature are prone to errors if they employed as quantitative biomarker for gbm image analysis. however when we use robust and redundant feature, quantitative image radiomics features are informative and prognostic biomarkers for gbm magnetic resonance imaging. results results shows that th...
