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...

background: the purpose of this study is to demonstrate the advantages of gradient echo (gre) sequences in the detection and characterization of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis compared to conventional magnetic resonance sequences. methods: a total of 17 patients with cerebral venous thrombosis (cvt) were evaluated using different magnetic resonance imaging (mri) sequences. the mri sequences i...

early detection of breast cancer is the most effective way to improve the survival rate in women. magnetic resonance imaging (mri) offers high spatial resolution and good anatomic details, and its lower sensitivity can be improved by using targeted molecular imaging. in this study, as1411 aptamer was conjugated to fe3o4@au nanoparticles for specific targeting of 4t1 cells that overexpress nucle...

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. Magne...

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 ...

abstract a patient with a 3-month history of headache refractory to pain medication was admitted. the ct scan and mri showed evidence of a posterior fossa mass. this was pathologically confirmed as an extra medullary plasmacytoma (emp). he had a pathologic fracture of the left humerus 7 years ago while the radiologist was unaware at the time of diagnosis. a solitary bone plasmacytoma (sbp) was ...

results compared to pre-op scores, pf, ss, and vas scores for back, buttock and leg pain had a significant mean decrease at 6, 12, 24 months post-op (p < 0.05). based on the zcq and vas scores, a success rate of 79% (27.34), 78% (30.38) and 74% (17.23) were achieved at six months, 12 months, and 24 months respectively. conclusions x-stop is a safe and effective treatment for nic that provides m...
