Radiologic Evaluation

The technique of high resolution CT (HRCT) requires thin (1–1.5 mm) sections and a special reconstruction algorithm to maximize detail in the lung parenchyma [ 1 ] (Fig. 2.1 ). HRCT images may be reconstructed from a volumetric dataset or may be acquired using noncontiguous images at 1–2 cm intervals. If volumetric acquisition is performed, coronal and sagittal reconstructions may be obtained, ...

Behcet’s Disease: Radiologic Diagnosis

The diagnosis is primarily based on clinical criteria because there are no specific diagnostic laboratory tests available and because of the non-specificity of the histopathologic findings. The multiorgan involvement of Behcet’s disease can be characterized. Here we will describe the radiological findings consisting of pulmonary, cardiovascular, neurologic, and abdominal involvement in Behcet’s...

Dementia: Radiologic Perspective

Recent years have witnessed impressive advances in the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with varying success either to contribute to patient clinical work up aimed at establishing a diagnosis of degenerative dementia, as well as to monitor disease progression. Conventional MRI of the brain has an important role in differentiating Alzheimer Disease (AD) from other pathologies, including n...

Radiologic Evaluation in Chest

Radiologic evaluation of the patient with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) includes chest radiographs for detecting nodules, computed tomography (CT) for further characterizing them, CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate the mediastinum, and extrathoracic imaging of bones, the adrenal gland, the central nervous system, and liver. The current practice standards for each are revie...
