Persistent Stapedial Artery: Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Features
نویسنده
چکیده
Persistent stapedial artery is a rare congenital anomaly that has significant implications for middle ear operations. This report presents the imaging features — computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging — of persistent stapedial artery in a child with Noonan syndrome. The clinical issues associated with this rare condition are also discussed.

Bimodal magnetic resonance imaging-computed tomography nanoprobes: A Review
Bimodal imaging combines two imaging modalities in order to benefit from their advantages and compensate the limitations of each modality. This technique could accurately detect diseases for diagnostic purposes. Nanoparticles simultaneously offer diagnostic data via various imaging modalities owing to their unique properties. Moreover, bimodal nanoprobes could be incorporated into theranostic s...
متن کاملPersistent stapedial artery: a congenital anomaly to know.
Persistent stapedial artery, one of the rare arterial congenital anomalies of the middle ear, is important to know due to its possible clinical repercussions. Ignoring its existence may lead to complications during surgery of the middle ear (notably hemorrhage). Exploration of the vascular malformation is rendered possible via high-definition computed tomography (CT) imaging of the petrous bone...

Introduction: Nowadays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in combination with computed-tomography (CT) is increasingly being used in radiation therapy planning. MR and CT images are applied to determine the target volume and calculate dose distribution, respectively. Since the use of these two imaging modalities causes registration uncertainty and increases department w...

Aim: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate imaging artifacts induced by Titanium, Zirconium, Titanium-Zirconium abutments in CT, MRI and CBCT imaging modalities.Methods: A 4×8mm titanium fixture was inserted in a dry human mandible. Titanium, Zirconium and Titanium–Zirconium abutments measuring 10.5 mm in height are located on the fixture, one by one. Each abutment was scan...
متن کاملA unique association: trigeminal and stapedial arteries in a patient harboring a meningioma.
A 63-year-old woman performed a magnetic resonance imaging because of persistent headache, which demonstrated a left parietal convexity tumor. A digital subtraction angiography was performed in order to plan the preoperative embolization. It showed the persistence of primitive trigeminal artery associated with the persistence of stapedial artery1,2. The stapedial artery, arising from the cervic...
