objectives upon completion of this presentation, participants will be able to: 1) recognize mri appearance of the spontaneous intracranial hypotension and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri). 2) review their various clinical and imaging presentations. conclusions in this presentation we will review imaging presentations of our several proved cases. as mentioned, there are...

conclusions adc valuecould be a prognostic factor to monitor the response to therapy for patients with cervical cancer. the addition of dw-mri to the conventional mri protocolsconsiderably improved the diagnostic ability of mr imaging method for tumor evaluations. results studies had shown thatthe mean adc value of cervical carcinoma (1.110 ± 0.175 × 10-3 mm2/s)is significantly lower than that ...

the goal is assessing the diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dmri) method effi ciency in characterizing focal hepatic lesions (fhls). about 28-fhl patients were studied in radiology and clinical imaging department of our university hospital using 1.5 tesla mri system between january 2010 and june 2011. patients underwent hepatic mri consisting of dynamic t1- and t2-weighted imaging. the dmri...

in this paper, we propose and investigate distribution of intravascular and extravascular extracellular volume fractions (dieef) as a noninvasive biomarker for neovascularization assessment by dynamic contrast‑enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (dce‑mri). a generalized two‑compartment exchange model (g2cxm) that uniformly includes the patlak model, tofts model, extended tofts model, and recent...

Basal encephalocele is a rare craniofacial anomaly. In the present paper we report a 10-year-old boy presented with cleft palate, congenital nystagmus, and hypertelorism. During preoperative evaluation for cleft palate repair, a pulsatile mass was detected in the pharynx. Magnetic resonance imaging showed sphenoethmoidal type of basal encephalocele and agenesis of corpus callosum. Neurosurgical...

we present a case report of bupropion-induced diplopia in a 26-year-old woman who suffered from atypical depression. âfter four weeks of taking bupropion (225 mg per day) she complained of headaches, blurred vision, and diplopia. no neurological and ophthalmologic abnormal signs were found. her brain magnetic resonance imaging (mrï) and magnetic resonance venography (mrv) were normal as well. â...

Background: Gliomas are the most common primary neoplasms of the central nervous system. Relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) could estimate high-grade Gliomas computed with dynamic susceptibility contrast MR imaging which it is artificially lowered by contrast extravasation through a disrupted blood-brain barrier. Objectives: Our intent was to clarify the usefulness of diffusion-weighted m...

uterine inversion is shortly described as the indentation and depression of the fundic area extending downwards up to the different levels of the birth canal till vaginal opening. clinical diagnosis of uterine inversion is difficult due to its non-specific symptoms and physical examination. ultrasonography is the most practical modality for radiological evaluation, but it is inadequate to deter...

functional magnetic resonance imaging (fmri) has become the most popular method for imaging of brain functions. currently, there is a large variety of software packages for the analysis of fmri data, each providing many features for users. since there is no single package that can provide all the necessary analyses for the fmri data, it is helpful to know the features of each software package. ...
