BACKGROUND Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is one of the most devastating cerebrovascular disorders. We report on the diagnostic value of three-dimensional (3-D) maximum intensity projection (MIP) reconstruction of T2*-weighted magnetic resonance images (MRI), processed using graphical user interface-based software, to aid in the accurate grading of endovascular-perforation-induced SAH in a mouse...

PURPOSE To flesh out the ESUR guidelines for the standardized interpretation of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mMRI) for the detection of prostate cancer and to present a graphic reporting scheme for improved communication of findings to urologists. MATERIALS AND METHODS The ESUR has recently published a structured reporting system for mMRI of the prostate (PI-RADS). This system ...

Gliomas represent approximately one-third of all intracranial tumors in adults and commonly present clinically with seizures. We report two seizure patients with paradoxical imaging findings on preoperative grading of their cerebral gliomas. A 53-year-old man with a history of temporal lobe epilepsy originating from a mass in the right medial temporal region (patient 1) and a 44-year-old man wi...

Background Assessment of aortic valve stenosis (AVS) severity is crucial for valve replacement indication and is typically performed by transthoracic Doppler-echocardiography (TTE). However, TTE may be suboptimal in up to 30% of patients. Unidirectional through-plane phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (1Dir PC-MRI) is the most common MRI technique used to quantify peak velocities (Vpeak)...

Kinematic magnetic resonance imaging can be implemented as a non-invasive adjunct examination for injuries in the cervical spine in the clinical assessment of ligamentous, disk, and soft tissue injuries, as a basis for determining medical versus surgical management, and also establishing the degree of functional clinical impairment. This article discusses the clinical indications and applicatio...

PURPOSE To evaluate the roles of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and optimum tracer kinetic parameters in the noninvasive grading of the glial brain tumors with histopathological grades (I-IV). MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-eight patients with histopathologically graded gliomas were imaged. Images with five flip angles were acquired before injection of gadolinium...
