We examined whole blood (MnB), red blood cell (MnRBC), plasma (MnP) and urinary Mn (MnU) concentrations in 22 liver cirrhotics and 10 healthy controls to evaluate Mn concentration in which a fraction of biological samples best reflects pallidal signal intensities (pallidal index; PI) on T1-weighted magnetic resonance images (MRI) in liver cirrhotics. Increased signal intensity in the globus pal...

Liver masses in cirrhosis are increasingly being recognized with the use of new imaging modalities. The majority of these lesions are detected by ultrasound, enhanced CT and MRI. The most likely diagnosis of a solid liver lesion in a cirrhotic liver is hepatocellular carcinoma, followed by high grade or low grade dysplastic nodule, and cholangiocarcinoma. Lymphoma and liver metastasis are extre...

Background To determine the usefulness of enhanced rate gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid–enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (EOB-MRI) during hepatobiliary phase as a new parameter for hepatic functional reserve. Aim We retrospectively analyzed 153 patients who underwent EOB-MRI before radiofrequency ablation or resection between January 2008 and December 2012. The wa...

OBJECTIVE To assess the diagnostic performance of a T1-independent, T2*-corrected multiecho magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique for the quantification of hepatic steatosis in a cohort of patients affected by chronic viral C hepatitis, using liver biopsy as gold standard. METHODS Eighty-one untreated patients with chronic viral C hepatitis were prospectively enrolled. All included patie...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-visible amonafide-eluting alginate microspheres were developed for targeted arterial-infusion chemotherapy. These alginate microspheres were synthesized using a highly efficient microfluidic gelation process. The microspheres included magnetic clusters formed by USPIO nanoparticles to permit MRI and a sustained drug-release profile. The biocompatibility, MR imag...

Bronchogenic cysts in the muscularis of cardia are very rare lesions. We report a 33-year-old woman who presented epigastric distention, pain, nausea and vomiting. MRI diagnosis lesion was stromal tumor located liver stomach space. Ultrasonic examination indicated that cystic structure closely related to gastric wall, lesions from wall were determined.

MRE is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based technology for non-invasively characterizing the biomechanical properties of tissues and may serve as a potential surrogate to invasive liver biopsies for diagnosing and staging liver fibrosis. MRE can be used to quantitatively image the direct consequence of liver fibrosisincreased stiffness of the hepatic tissue. MRE is performed following three...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become the clinical standard to estimate liver iron overload. The most commonly used method is to measure the transversal relaxation time, T2*, from a multi gradient recalled echo sequence (MGRE). While this technique is reliable in low to moderate liver iron concentrations (LIC), it will be inaccurate when it is severe. We report a case with severe liver he...

Background: Despite new advances in liver imaging, it is still difficult to identify and classify hepatic focal lesions. Particularly cancer patients, where accurate tumor staging depends on the definition of lesion for best treatment planning. Aim objectives: was evaluate significance Dynamic Magnetic Resonance identification description hypo-vascular tumor. subjects methods: Our current resea...
