Use of DWI in identification of small solid pancreatic focalities (≤ 2 cm).
نویسندگان
چکیده
Incidental finding of pancreatic focalities has increased thanks to a larger use of radiological examinations (Ultrasound, CT). The differential diagnosis between focal inflammatory and heteroplastic disease is frequently complicated by the wide spectrum of lesions and by the aspecificity of clinical and medical history, as well as of imaging findings. MRI is the second level choice of examination thanks to its higher intrinsic contrast resolution and parametric capability (1); furthermore, the use of Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) sequences provides additional diagnostic informations.

Background: Although Tuberculosis (TB) is prevalent in developing countries, visceral TB is rare. Most cases of pancreatic tuberculosis are seen in association with disseminated TB (miliary) but isolated pancreatic infection is very rare. Especially when present in immunocompetent hosts. In clinical and radiological evaluation, pancreatic TB may present as a pancreatic abscess, acute or chronic...

Introduction Radiotherapy with small fields is used widely in newly developed techniques. Additionally, dose calculation accuracy of treatment planning systems in small fields plays a crucial role in treatment outcome. In the present study, dose calculation accuracy of two commercial treatment planning systems was evaluated against Monte Carlo method. Materials and Methods Siemens Once or linea...
متن کاملDiffusion- and Perfusion-Weighted Imaging in Acute Lacunar Infarction: Is There a Mismatch?
PURPOSE Characterization of lacunar infarction (LI) by use of multimodal MRI including diffusion- and perfusion-weighted imaging (DWI, PWI) is difficult because of the small lesion size. Only a few studies evaluated PWI in LI and the results are inconsistent. METHODS In 16 LI patients who underwent initial MRI within 6 hours after symptom onset and follow-up MRI within 1 week demographics, cl...
متن کاملThe management of cystic lesions of the pancreas.
The number of patients being identified as having asymptomatic small cysts of the pancreas is increasing. Most cystic neoplasms are SCAs, IPMNs, or MCNs. SCAs should be considered benign and in the absence of symptoms can be safely followed radiographically. Currently, most patients who present with mucinous cysts should undergo resection, because many of these patients have in situ or invasive...
