levamisole is an anthelmintic agent and also immunostimulant drug which is used to treat colorectal cancer. the present study aimed to show accidental consumption of levamisole alone induced multifocal inflammatory leukoencephalopathy. a 53-year-old male was admitted to the neurology department of farabi hospital (kermanshah, iran) with walking inability and recognition disorder. following clin...

results stereoscopic displays of the nerves were obtained in all 24 elbows by vr, mip, and fiber tractography post-processing methods. the vr/mip post-processing methods were easier to perform compared to fiber tractography. there was no significant difference among the scores of fiber tracking and vr/mip reconstruction for single direction. the imaging quality scores of fiber tractography and ...

introduction: interhemispheric transmission of signal is done by corpus callosum (cc) as the largest fiber tract in brain. cc comprised 5 segments of rostrum, genu, body, isthmus, and splenium. contradictory reports exist about sexual dimorphism of cc. we designed this study to assess probable sexual differences of cc and its different parts in men and women. methods: we analyzed magnetic reson...

introduction: the magnetic resonance imaging (mri) technique permits to monitor the development of the embryo in vivo without causing any developmental defects. although increasing application of mri imaging are predicted in veterinary sciences, there is little information available about mri studies of avian embryos and their eggs. the objective of the present study was to evaluate the ostrich...

decidualized ovarian endometrioma is a rare phenomenon in pregnancy, which can mimic ovarian malignancy in imaging and often poses a diagnostic challenge. we report a case of a large ruptured decidualized ovarian endometrioma in a 15 weeks gestation patient, and we will describe the imaging characteristics (ultrasonography and mr imaging findings) and the histopathological findings (macro- and ...

conclusion a higher magnetic field strength and a decrease in the hr resulted in an increase in body temperature during the mri procedure. results our investigation of the physiological response to rf heating indicated a link between increasing age and body temperature. a higher increase in body temperature was observed in older patients after a 3.0-t mri (r = 0.07, p = 0.29 for 1.5-t mri; r = ...

conclusions the results of this study suggest that mri does not increase microleakage of amalgam restorations. results in teeth with amalgam filling, there were no significant differences of occlusal and gingival surface microleakage after mri exposure. occlusal and gingival surface microleakages were also similar with and without mri in teeth with bonded amalgam filling. materials and methods ...

background morphometric data of the frontal lobe are important for surgical planning of lesions in the frontal lobe and its surroundings. magnetic resonance imaging (mri) techniques provide suitable data for this purpose. objectives in our study, the morphometric data of mid-sagittal mri of the frontal lobe in certain age and gender groups of children have been presented. patients and methods i...

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 magn...
