PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to report clinical results of open excision of extra-articular ganglion cysts around the knee joint combined with arthroscopic management of intra-articular pathologies if present. MATERIALS AND METHODS Of the total 107 cases of cystic lesions around the knee, 23 cases of extra-articular ganglion cysts were reviewed between January 2006 and July 2011. The...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of MRI, MR arthrography, and ultrasound for the diagnosis of rotator cuff tears through a meta-analysis of the studies in the literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS Articles reporting the sensitivities and specificities of MRI, MR arthrography, or ultrasound for the diagnosis of rotator cuff tears were identified. Surgical ...

Compressed Sensing MRI (CS-MRI) has provided theoretical foundations upon which the time-consuming MRI acquisition process can be accelerated. However, it primarily relies on iterative numerical solvers which still hinders their adaptation in time-critical applications. In addition, recent advances in deep neural networks have shown their potential in computer vision and image processing, but t...

Presently, EPR and fluorescent biosensors are sole choice of in vivo bioimaging of NO and accurate measurement still remains a problem. We propose different NO biosensors as potent imaging contrast agents using multimodal bioimaging techniques of MRI, EPR and fluorescent imaging with their limitations and quantitative limits. Our focus in this paper is on different characteristics of known bios...

background : magnetic resonance imaging (mri) offers higher diagnostic accuracy for brain lesions caused by heroin abuse compared to compute tomography (ct) scan. these lesions have a low signal on t1-weighted (t1w) images and a high signal on t2-weighted (t2w) and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (flair) images. this study aimed to evaluate the role of diffusion-weighted mri (dwi-mri) in he...

Multiecho echo-planar imaging (EPI) was implemented for blood-oxygenation-level-dependent functional MRI at 1.5 T and compared to single-echo EPI with and without parallel imaging acceleration. A time-normalized breath-hold task using a block design functional MRI protocol was carried out in combination with up to four echo trains per excitation and parallel imaging acceleration factors R = 1-3...
