MR Imaging of SCA3/MJD

MR imaging

Biliary tract neoplasms are commonly accounted for by cholangiocarcinoma and biliary cystadenoma/carcinoma and other less common tumors including papillary neoplasms, lymphoma and metastases. Although cholangiocarcinoma is a rare tumour (<2% of all cancer), it is the second most common primary hepatobiliary malignant tumour after hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This tumour actually encompasses ...

MR imaging of neurocysticercosis.

Twenty-six patients with neurocysticercosis were studied with MR imaging to correlate their clinical presentation with the location and appearance of their neurocysticercosis lesions. Intraventricular cysts were present in 14 patients (54%), parenchymal cysts were present in 18 (69%), and intraventricular together with parenchymal cysts were present in six (23%). Intraventricular cysts were det...

Changes of Cortisol and Glucose Concentrations in Rats Exposed to MR Imaging Field

Background: MR imaging is one of the best diagnostic modalities in medicine. During an MR imaging examination, three types of field are employed to produce images. Various experimental studies have been performed about the effects of each single type of field but only few studies are available on their combination to generate MR imaging. The main objective of this research work is to study the ...

MR imaging of phenylketonuria.

Cranial MR imaging was performed on nine patients (13-27 years old) with classical phenylketonuria in order to define the spectrum of abnormal findings and to determine if these could be related to clinical or biochemical findings. MR abnormalities consistent with demyelination were found in varying degrees in a distribution corresponding to previous histopathologic studies. Specifically, incre...
