Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging in children: state of the art*
Whole-body imaging in children was classically performed with radiography, positron-emission tomography, either combined or not with computed tomography, the latter with the disadvantage of exposure to ionizing radiation. Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in association with the recently developed metabolic and functional techniques such as diffusion-weighted imaging, has brought the...
متن کاملFunctional magnetic resonance imaging in oncology: state of the art*
In the investigation of tumors with conventional magnetic resonance imaging, both quantitative characteristics, such as size, edema, necrosis, and presence of metastases, and qualitative characteristics, such as contrast enhancement degree, are taken into consideration. However, changes in cell metabolism and tissue physiology which precede morphological changes cannot be detected by the conven...
متن کاملState-of-the-art Musculoskeletal Magnetic Resonance imaging: technical Review
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used widely in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders. Innovative MRI techniques have been developed for MSK imaging. This review discusses the advantages and challenges of the cutting-edge technology of MSK MRI (both hardware and software) as well as its clinical application.
متن کاملLiver Magnetic Resonance Imaging—Clinical State of the Art
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination of the liver is an important tool for the detection and characterization of focal liver lesions and for the evaluation of diffuse liver disease. The advantages of MRI over other imaging modalities include superior soft-tissue contrast, avoidance of ionizing radiation and iodinated contrast media, and the possibility of performing functional imaging s...
