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...

we report a patient diagnosed with whipple's disease (wd) who presented only with neurological symptoms. neuroimaging (mri) showed lesions with marked mass effect similar to infiltrative tumors, which were hypersignal on long tr and hyposignal on short tr images, located in several areas of the brain. in serial controls, lesions resolved with gliosis and atrophic changes as well as migration of...

background: carbon monoxide (co) poisoning may lead to hypoxic/anoxic injury and eventually ischemic encephalopathy. magnetic resonance imaging (mri) has a well-recognized role in assessment of the severity of brain damage caused by co poisoning. in this study, we aimed to present and analyze the structural abnormalities in the brain mri and especially in diffusion weighted mri (dwi) images in ...

introduction while primary malignant tumors of the heart are rare, angiosarcomas are the most common cardiac malignant tumors. case presentation we describe a 23-year-old woman who presented with a right atrial mass, which was discovered to be a cardiac angiosarcoma. we demonstrate the use of several noninvasive imaging modalities along with pathology confirmation for the definitive and compreh...

thisis a case report of a 24-year-old man who presented with increased pain and firm swelling of the right foot after a minor twisting injury. radiography, computed tomography (ct) and magnetic resonance imaging (mri) findings showed ancillary information that was helpful for surgical treatment. the final diagnosis was confirmed aschondroblastoma of the navicular bone based on the pathology rep...

conclusions although in our study washout pattern was the most powerful indicator for malignant pathology in non mass like enhancing lesions, more studies with larger sample size needs in this regard. background several studies on the diagnostic efficacy of mri has not real consensus for the accuracy of mri characteristics in non mass like breast lesions, and the number of malignant lesions in ...
