Glioblastoma treated with postoperative radio-chemotherapy: prognostic value of apparent diffusion coefficient at MR imaging.
PURPOSE To retrospectively evaluate whether the mean, minimum, and maximum apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of glioblastomas obtained from pretreatment MR images is of prognostic value in patients with glioblastoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS The institutional review board approved our study and waived the requirement for informed patient consent. Between February 1998 and January 2006, 33 pat...
متن کاملEvolution of lesions in Susac syndrome at serial MR imaging with diffusion-weighted imaging and apparent diffusion coefficient values.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Susac syndrome is a rare disorder consisting of encephalopathy, hearing loss, and retinal arteriolar occlusions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the evolution of lesions in this disease by using serial MR imaging with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs). Abnormalities in the nonlesional white matter (NLWM) were also analyz...
متن کاملGd-EOB-DTPA-Enhanced MR Imaging of the Liver: The Effect on T2 Relaxation Times and Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC)
BACKGROUND To investigate the effect of gadoxetic acid disodium (Gd-EOB-DTPA) on T2 relaxation times and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of the liver and focal liver lesions on a 1.5-T system. MATERIAL/METHODS Magnetic resonance (MR) studies of 50 patients with 35 liver lesions were retrospectively analyzed. All examinations were performed at 1.5T and included T2-weighted turbo sp...
متن کاملrhabdomyosarcoma metastasis to the breast: appearance on diffusion-weighted imaging and apparent diffusion coefficient sequences
rhabdomyosarcoma is a common primary childhood malignancy that rarely metastasizes to the breast. we report a patient with a primary sinonasal rhabdomyosarcoma metastasizing to the breast, with no distant spread. we describe the imaging appearance of rhabdomyosarcoma on magnetic resonance imaging (mri), particularly on diffusion-weighted imaging (dwi) and apparent diffusion coefficient (adc) se...
متن کاملRole of Apparent diffusion coefficient value in Diffusion Weighted imaging of MRI to assessment of radiotherapy efficiency in the patient with glioma tumor during treatment
Introduction: Glioma is the most common primary malignancy of cerebral neoplasms in adults, which in spite of therapeutic significant efforts, has a very poor prognosis. The current standard treatment of these patients generally includes surgery and radiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy with 6 courses of adjuvant use of temozolomide tabs. During these years, the nervous...
