The trouble with apparent diffusion coefficient papers
This issue of Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences includes a study (Rundle-Thiele et al.) that investigates the correlation between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based estimates of water mobility in glioblastoma tumours and expression of the prognostically important gene promoter methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT). The authors address previous inconsistent reports regarding a correlati...
متن کاملPredictors of apparent diffusion coefficient normalization in stroke patients.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We sought to describe the frequency of normalization of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values that are decreased in hyperacute stroke and to identify characteristics of tissue demonstrating normalization. METHODS Sixty-eight acute ischemic stroke patients underwent MRI examination (including diffusion/perfusion imaging and MR angiography) within 6 hours (mean, 2.8...
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...
متن کاملPrevalence of hepatic steatosis and associated factors in Iranian patients with chronic hepatitis C
Background: Hepatic steatosis is commonly observed in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). Many studies indicate a relationship between steatosis and fibrosis progression. The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of hepatic steatosis and related factors in Iranian CHC patients. Methods: One hundred and fifteen consecutive patients with CHC were enrolled which were treat...
