Imaging of parathyroid lesions with radionuclides - Is it worth doing?
Parathyroid adenomas, or hyperplasia may be present in patients with hypercalcemia. Treatment Is by surgical excision, but about 10% of the lesions may be In ectopic locations. Pre-operative localization of the lesions with non-lvasive imaging, using radionuclides, ultrasound, CT, or MR], may simplify surgery, and reduce patient morbidity. However, the reports of the accuracy of the curre...
متن کاملHigh Resolution Functional MR Venography with 7T MRI
Magnetic resonance venography (MRV) has been used to assess the effects of medical treatment for and the resolution of cerebral venous diseases. The contrast mechanism involving MRV used for functional or anatomical applications has been based on the local magnetic field inhomogeneity created by deoxyhemoglobin, which determines MR signal intensity [1,2]. Susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI), ...
متن کاملVisualization of the internal cerebral veins on MR phase-sensitive imaging: comparison with 3D gadolinium-enhanced MR venography and fast-spoiled gradient recalled imaging.
The purpose of this article is to compare the visualization quality of ICV and their tributaries on PSI-MRV, 3D CE-MRV, and 3D CE-FSPGR. PSI-MRV has been shown to delineate the ICV, TSV, SV, anterior caudate nucleus veins, and medial atrial veins effectively. Due to its advantages of no contrast material injection, acceptable examination times, and no arterial contamination, PSI-MRV should be c...
متن کاملIntracranial dural arteriovenous fistula with retrograde cortical venous drainage: use of susceptibility-weighted imaging in combination with dynamic susceptibility contrast imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE SWI is a new MR imaging method that maximizes sensitivity to magnetic susceptibility effects with phase information for visualizing small cerebral veins. The purpose of this study was to report the use of SWI in combination with DSC in examining related RCVD in patients with intracranial DAVFs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten patients with angiographically confirmed DAVFs wit...
متن کاملCerebral MR venography: normal anatomy and potential diagnostic pitfalls.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MR venography is often used to examine the intracranial venous system, particularly in the evaluation of dural sinus thrombosis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of MR venography in the depiction of the normal intracranial venous anatomy and its variants, to assess its potential pitfalls in the diagnosis of dural venous sinus thrombosis, and to compare th...
