Role of diffusion-weighted MRI in Neuro-Behcet`s disease.
We report the findings on serial diffusion-weighted MRI in a 29-year-old male with neuro-Behcet`s disease. Initial T2-weighted and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images showed a hyperintense lesion in the brain stem. The lesion showed slight hyperintensity on diffusion-weighted images with no evidence of diffusion restriction on apparent diffusion coefficient maps. A follow up study after ...

متن کاملDiffusion-weighted MRI in head and neck radiology: applications in oncology
Extracranial application of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has gained increasing importance in recent years. As a result of technical advances, this new non-invasive functional technique has also been applied in head and neck radiology for several clinical indications. In cancer imaging, diffusion-weighted MRI can be performed for tumour detection and characterization, moni...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted MRI in the body: applications and challenges in oncology.
OBJECTIVE In this article, we present the basic principles of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) that can aid radiologists in the qualitative and quantitative interpretation of DW images. However, a detailed discussion of the physics of DWI is beyond the scope of this article. A short discussion ensues on the technical aspects of performing DWI in the body. The emerging applications of DWI for tu...
متن کاملDelayed contrast extravasation MRI: a new paradigm in neuro-oncology.
BACKGROUND Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is unable to differentiate tumor/nontumor enhancing tissues. We have applied delayed-contrast MRI for calculating high resolution treatment response assessment maps (TRAMs) clearly differentiating tumor/nontumor tissues in brain tumor patients. METHODS One hundred and fifty patients with primary/metastatic tumors were recruited and scan...
