BACKGROUND To investigate the effect of gadoxetic acid disodium (Gd-EOB-DTPA) on T2 relaxation times and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of the liver and focal liver lesions on a 1.5-T system. MATERIAL/METHODS Magnetic resonance (MR) studies of 50 patients with 35 liver lesions were retrospectively analyzed. All examinations were performed at 1.5T and included T2-weighted turbo sp...

Background and Aim: Focal liver lesions represent a gamut of benign malignant pathologies which are sometimes incidental. The primary mode investigating these is radiological workup, hence radiologist need to be thoroughly aware the varied imaging appearances focal lesions. must able categorize lesion as or with certain level diagnostic accuracy. Herein, we mainly try highlight atypical, often ...

Liver masses are very common and most are benign. It is therefore important to avoid unnecessary interventions for benign lesions, while at the same time ensuring accurate diagnosis of hepatic malignancies. Many cancer patients, like the general population, have incidental benign liver lesions. In planning treatment for cancer patients, it is critical to avoid inappropriate treatment decisions ...

Aims: to evaluate the accuracy of LR-5 category from latest Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound algorithm (ACR CEUS LI-RADSv 2017) for noninvasive diagnosis hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), in a real-life cohort high-risk patients. Material and methods: We retrospectively re-analysed studies 464 focal liver lesions (FLL) 382 patients at HCC (liver cirrhosis any aetiology, chronic B or C hepatitis with ...

lead is one of the heavy metal that is very toxic for environment and organisms. lead can inhibits many physiological processes and it is so dangerous for body tissues. in this study, four groups of fish (carassius auratus) 35 in each, were used for experiment. group 1 was as control, in group 2 fishes were exposed to lead acetate at concentration of 8. 5 mg/l, fishes in group 3 and 4 were also...

PURPOSE The objective was to investigate the dynamic enhancement patterns in focal solid liver lesions after the administration of gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) by means of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) including hepatobiliary phase (HP) images 20 min after Gd-EOB-DTPA administration. MATERIALS AND METHODS Non-enhanced T1/T2-weighted as w...
