background imaging plays a critical role not only in the detection, but also in the characterization of lung masses as benign or malignant. objectives to determine the diagnostic accuracy of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (mri) in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant lung masses. patients and methods ninety-four masses were included in this prospective study. five dynamic seri...

brain metastases (top) had poorly demarcated borders and were highly infiltrative with significant vasogenic edema. In contrast, bone metastases (bottom) had well-demarcated borders and developed as solid masses with minimal infiltration. Brain metastases (n=10) had significantly higher ADC and lower FA values than the normal brain tissue whereas bone metastases (n=5) had a significantly lower ...

Pineal region tumors represent less than 1% and 3-8% of brain tumors in adults and children respectively. There is a wide range of pineal masses, with the majority being germ cell and pineal parenchymal tumors. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the modality of choice for the assessment of pineal masses. It is considered as the gold standard for the evaluation of the central nervous system. MR...

allochthonous masses are common structures in zagros fold-thrust belt. they are generally considered as collapse structures formed by the influence of gravity and in rock units with competency contrast. however, large allochthonous masses mapped in dowgonbadan area in dezful embayment near the mountain front fault (mff) of zagros show characteristics different from the belt common collapse stru...

We calculate corrections to masses of massive neutrino mass–eigenstates, caused by vacuum polarization in the strong Coulomb fields of daughter heavy nuclei in the K–shell electron capture decays (EC) and positron (β+) decays of highly ionized heavy ions, investigated experimentally at GSI in Darmstadt. Some applications of the obtained results are discussed. c © Electronic Journal of Theoretic...

Pandemic 2009 infl uenza A virus (H1N1) is a new infl uenza virus causing illness in human populations. Immunocompromised patients are at high risk for the acquisition of infl uenza and serious infl uenza-associated complications. However, there are no reports about patients with both newly diagnosed acute leukemia and H1N1 infl uenza infection. We reported 2 cases of previously healthy patient...

Aim: To access the proportion of Infl uenza which caused SARI cases Methods: From April 2008 until March 2009, 549 samples of nasal and throat swabs were collected from SARI patients from eight hospitals in eight provinces in Indonesia. The samples were analyzed for Infl uenza by real-time RT-PCR method using several specifi c primers for infl uenza A (A/H1N1, A/H3N2 and A/H5N1) and Infl uenza ...

the classification and imaging appearances of vascular masses of the head and neck are reviewed. the radiological appearances of congenital vascular masses (infantile haemangiomas and other congenital vascular tumours, high-flow and low-flow vascular malformations), acquired vascular masses (benign and malignant tumours, non-neoplastic lesions) and other hypervascular masses are described and i...

Adnexal masses are spectrum of diseases from benign non neoplastic and neoplastic masses to malignant neoplasms. Endovaginal ultrasonography (US) is the fisrt and invaluable modality for assessment of adnexal masses because it is available and has a high negative predictive value. Important morphologic features are solid (vascularized) tissue, vascular and thick septations, and papillary projec...

Frost is one of the atmospheric phenomena which seriously threaten crop production. It also causes numerousaccidents in mountainous roads. In this research the Spatial Synoptic Classification SSC method was employed toclassify the type of air masses. For the classification, such meteorological data as: temperature, dew point, mean sealevel pressure, cloudiness, direction and speed of wind were ...
