background: finding a suitable method for rapid, accurate and reliable estimation of absorbed dose has high priority in management of the radiation exposed persons. shortly after radiation exposure, apoptosis is a major detriment in proliferative tissues such as the hematopoietic system. therefore, quantification of apoptosis in these tissues could be useful for rapid estimation of radiation ex...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential for evaluating bone marrow. Bone marrow undergoes constant modification and its appearance on MRI changes in response. Knowledge of the types of changes and their origins is essential for analysis of MRI findings of bone marrow infiltration with hematological malignancies. This pictorial review describes the MRI pulse sequences used for imaging of b...

The purpose of our study was to determine the value of different hybrid imaging combinations for the detection of focal and diffuse bone marrow infiltration in lymphoma. Patients with histologically proven lymphoma, who underwent both [18F]-FDG-PET/CT and whole-body MRI (including T1- and diffusion-weighted [DWI] sequences) within seven days, and a subsequent bone marrow biopsy, were retrospect...

The development of MR imaging has been a great advance in the imaging of bone marrow disorders. MR imaging exhibits excellent soft-tissue contrast and therefore has a greater sensitivity for marrow disease than did previously available modalities. This article reviews the normal morphology and appearance of bone marrow, describes the MR appearance of normal bone marrow, and discusses the MR fin...

Background: Bone marrow is the site of many malignant disorders and it is one of the common places for solid tumors to metastasize. Examination of the bone marrow aspirate and biopsy is a routine procedure performed for assessment of various conditions such as cytopenias, hematologic neoplasms, nonmalignant disorders and metastatic neoplasms. Methods: The patients were referred to the Hema...

(1) Background Bone marrow is the body’s 4 largest organ constituting 5% of its body weight. It consists of trabecular bone and a variety of cells including hematopoetic, fat, stroma and RES cells as well as sinsusoids. Bone marrow composition changes with age, which is reflected in a change in signal characteristics in MR images. Red marrow, which is found in younger individuals is composed of...

Abstract All components of the musculoskeletal system can be involved by metabolic disorders as a result endocrine diseases, genetic alterations, and environmental or nutritional aspects, with important worldwide variations in prevalence severity. Early detection these is crucial because efficacy preventive measures availability treatments. The current chapter will focus on imaging appearance b...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Systematic investigations of the distinguishing imaging features between spinal hyperplastic hematopoietic bone marrow and bone metastasis have not been reported, to our knowledge. The purpose of this study was to determine the distinguishing imaging features of the 2 entities. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the radiologic images of 8 consecutive male...

Midface bones are an unusual site for primary presentation and relapse in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Herein, we describe a case of acute pre B cell lymphoblastic leukemia with leukemic infiltration of maxilla and bone marrow involvement. At the time of relapse, the patient presented again with maxilla involvement and the phenotype changed to biphenotypic lymphoblastic leukemia. Our case sug...
