the aim of this review is focusing on the most important safety issues in cardiovascular mri (magnetic resonance imaging) which are categorized as: 1-safety items in patients who referred for stress cardiac mr studies. 2-safety consideration that we must know when a patient with cardiovascular devices referred for any (cardiovascular or non-cardiovascular) mri with focus on new protocols accord...

abstract background iron overload is the main transfusion related side effects in patients with transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathies. severe iron deposition in tissues leads to organ dysfunction. many organs can be affected such as heart, liver, and endocrine organs. cardiac failure and liver fibrosis are the consequent of iron overload in transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathy. magnetic re...

conclusion both techniques provided quantitatively consistent results of in vivo velocity vector fields in right internal carotid artery (rca). pc mri represented a good estimation of main flow patterns inside the vasculature, which seems to be acceptable for clinical use. however, limitations of each technique should be considered while interpreting results. subjects and methods mr imaging was...

cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cmri) is a well-established noninvasive imaging modality in clinical cardiology. its ability to provide tissue characterization make it well suited for the study of patients with cardiac diseases. we describe a multi-modality imaging evaluation of a 45-year-old man who experienced a near drowning event during swimming. we underline the unique capability of ti...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the use of cross-sectional imaging techniques verses surgery in locating parotid masses. Material and Methods: Our study was performed on patients assumed to have parotid masses from Dec 2010 to Dec 2011. Before surgery, imaging studies (Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging) of parotid were done. After surgery, we compared the s...

the imaging of hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) is challenging and plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and staging of the disease. a variety of imaging modalities, such as ultrasound, computed tomography (ct), magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and nuclear medicine are currently used in evaluating patients with hcc. although the best option for the treatment of these cases is hepatic resection or...

the aim of this article is to review the application of current imaging techniques used for the detection of viable myocardium. each technique is discussed briefly, and the more commonly used techniques are compared. the imaging techniques reviewed herein are dobutamine stress echocardiography, single photon emission tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography with f-18...
