Cystic ovarian lesions in SSFP diffusion imaging.
PURPOSE MR assessments of ovarian cystic lesions are usually based on morphological features, signal intensities and enhancement with contrast media. This study was performed to evaluate the usefulness of the steady-state free precession (SSFP) diffusion imaging of cystic ovarian lesions for analyzing cystic contents. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-one ovarian cystic lesions in 37 patients were ...
متن کاملPhysiologic Cystic Ovarian Lesions
Owing to multiplanar imaging capabilities and excellent tissue characterization, MRI can facilitate definitive diagnosis of benign conditions of the female pelvis. The purpose of this chapter is to review the spectrum of common benign conditions of the female pelvis and to illustrate the MRI features of these conditions, with an emphasis on the key imaging characteristics to suggest accurate di...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted MR imaging of ameloblastomas and keratocystic odontogenic tumors: differentiation by apparent diffusion coefficients of cystic lesions.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Ameloblastomas and keratocystic odontogenic tumors are major aggressive odontogenic tumors in the maxillomandibular regions, but the differentiation between these 2 tumors is frequently ineffective based on only conventional CT and MR imaging findings. Here, we evaluated diffusion-weighted MR imaging for the differentiation of these 2 odontogenic tumors. MATERIALS AND M...
متن کاملEvaluation of hepatic cystic lesions.
Hepatic cysts are increasingly found as a mere coincidence on abdominal imaging techniques, such as ultrasonography (USG), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These cysts often present a diagnostic challenge. Therefore, we performed a review of the recent literature and developed an evidence-based diagnostic algorithm to guide clinicians in characterising these lesion...
متن کاملApparent wall thickening of cystic renal lesions on MRI.
PURPOSE To show that cystic renal lesions that would otherwise meet criteria for simple cysts can demonstrate perceptible walls or increased wall thickness on MRI, sometimes causing these lesions to be "upgraded." It was hypothesized that thickening of cyst walls on MRI can be artifactual, due to data truncation, applied filtering, and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). MATERIALS AND METHODS k-...
