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...

conclusion the study data highlighted good value of iodine-based material decomposition images of spectral ct in assessment of both lipiodol deposition and residual cancer for follow-up of hcc patients previously treated with tace. background it is critical to follow up hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (tace) in clinical practice. computed tomography...

purpose: to record the mri features of primary central nervous system lymphoma (pcnsl) and compare these properties in monofocal and multifocal disease. methods: eleven cases of monofocal disease were compared to 9 cases of multifocal disease. all patients were examined by non-enhanced and contrast-enhanced mri. tumor location, signal intensity, enhancement characteristics, age distribution, pe...

hydatid disease (hd) is a parasitic infection that is most commonly caused by the larval stage of echinococcus granulosus. unusual location for this disease can cause diagnostic and therapeutic problems. we herein report a case of sacrococcygeal hd at an unusual location in a 30-year-old woman. she was evaluated using computed tomography (ct) imaging and magnetic resonance imaging (mri) after t...

abstract deep seated cavernous angioma (ca) is a very rare entity, those occurring in the hypothalamus are still less common. we present a case of a 52-year-old man who presented with behavior and memory disturbance attacks. he had a ca of the hypothalamus as revealed by magnetic resonance imaging (mri). we will discuss the role and importance of imaging in such scenario and also the differenti...

neurofibroma is an autosomal dominant disorder which has major criteria such as hyperpigmentation (cafe-au lait spots), cutaneous and subcutaneous tumors and bone deformities. in this report, a case of multifocal intraosseous neurofibroma in a 16-year-old male with right facial asymmetry, multiple unerupted maxillary posterior teeth and a previous history of infratemporal and orbital neurofibro...

in radiation cancer treatments, the most of the side effects could be minimized using a proper dosimeter. gel dosimeter is the only three‑dimensional dosimeter and magnetic resonance imaging (mri) is the gold standard method for gel dosimeter readout. because of hard accessibility and high cost of sample reading by mri systems, some other alternative methods were developed. the optical computed...

abstract background cerebral neoplasm arises from brain, spinal cord and meningeal cells. not only malignant cerebral neoplasm also benign tumor could lead to death due to mass effect on vital structures. access to these tumors is difficult, and mri and ct scan could be helpful in determining anatomical location of tumors and distinction of malignant from benign. objective for better and earlie...
