MR imaging of progressive enhancement of a bioceramic orbital prosthesis: an indicator of fibrovascular invasion.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The physical properties of bioceramics have made them ideal for a variety of prosthetic devices. Their porous structure allows fibrovascular tissue to invade the implant and secure it and provides a surface for muscular attachment. This process has been well-documented in animal studies; however, this case report describes the periodic imaging changes seen in a 67-year-old man following placement of a bioceramic orbital prosthesis.

Orbital Cavernous Hemangiomas
We have read with interest the article “Dynamic Enhancement Features of Cavernous Sinus Cavernous Hemangiomas on Conventional Contrast-Enhanced MR Imaging” by Y. Jinhu et al published in the March 2008 issue of the American Journal of Neuroradiology. The authors reported progressive contrast “filling in” in cavernous hemangiomas in the cavernous sinus as an important differential diagnostic sig...
متن کاملCT-generated porous hydroxyapatite orbital floor prosthesis as a prototype bioimplant.
Hydroxyapatite bioceramic was used for the manufacture of an orbital floor prosthesis from spiral CT data acquired transaxially at 1-mm beam collimation, pitch of 1, and 0.2-mm reconstruction intervals. CT data were converted to vector file format for subsequent prosthesis manufacture on a stereo-lithography machine. The orbital floor prosthesis was engrafted onto an acrylic model of the orbit ...
متن کاملValue of MR imaging in differentiation between solitary fibrous tumor and schwannoma in the orbit.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Orbital SFT is a rare tumor, often misdiagnosed as orbital schwannoma preoperatively but with different prognosis and treatment. Our aim was to evaluate MR imaging features that might distinguish orbital SFT from schwannoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS MR imaging including DCE scanning was performed in 9 patients with SFT and 22 patients with schwannoma in the orbit confirmed...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Accurate discrimination of orbital lymphoma from benign orbital lymphoproliferative disorders is crucial for treatment planning. We evaluated MR imaging including DWI and contrast-enhanced MR imaging for differentiating orbital lymphoma from benign orbital lymphoproliferative disorders. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-seven histopathologically proved orbital lymphoprolifera...

Background: The aim of this study was to review and characterize the pattern of CNS lesions in patients suffering from AIDS and to correlate these patterns with clinical disorders. Method: The MR scan, medical records and laboratory findings of 58 AIDS patients were reviewed retrospectively during April 1994 to November 1997 at the Olive view/UCLA and Shiraz Medical Centers, and the patterns o...
