The application of NMR imaging to the evaluation of pituitary and juxtasellar tumors.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging was used to evaluate pituitary and juxtasellar tumors in 37 patients representing a wide range of pathology. The value of the multiplanar facility of NMR is emphasized in providing accurate volumetric information and establishing the topographical relation of tumors to adjacent structures. Current limitations of the method and possible future developments to improve diagnostic precision are discussed.

متن کاملDynamic Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI) and Diffusion Weighted MR Imaging (DWI) for Differentiation between Benign and Malignant Salivary Gland Tumors
Background: Salivary gland tumors form nearly 3% of head and neck tumors. Due to their large histological variety and vicinity to facial nerves, pre-operative diagnosis and differentiation of benign and malignant parotid tumors are a major challenge for radiologists. Objective: The majority of these tumors are benign; however, sometimes they tend to transform into a malignant form. Functional M...
متن کاملEvaluation of a 99mTc-tricine Vascular Disrupting Agent as an In-vivo Imaging in 4T1 Mouse Breast Tumor Model
Colchicine as a vascular disrupting agent creates microtubule destabilization whichinduces vessel blockage and consequently cell death. Accordingly, colchicines and itsanalogues radiolabeled with 99mTc may have potential for visualization of tumor. In this work,deacetylcolchicine a colchicine analogue was labeled with 99mTc via tricine as a coligandand characterized for its tumor targeting prop...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging of sellar and juxtasellar abnormalities: atypical findings of common diseases and typical findings of rare diseases
The sellar/juxtasellar region comprises the bone component of the sella turcica, pituitary gland, cavernous sinus, and suprasellar cistern. Abnormalities in this region can be attributed to underproduction or overproduction of hormones or to the neurological signs and symptoms resulting from the compression of adjacent structures. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is currently the imaging method...
