BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to investigate the MRI features of central neurocytoma. CASE REPORT A 45 year old man with 3 months of worsening daily headaches. These headaches were diffuse, lasted for several hours, and mostly occurred in the morning. She was initially diagnosed and treated for migraines but later he had epileptic attack and diplopia and neurolog recomaded MRI. ME...

background: to determine the most important preoperative factors that affect postoperative coronal parameters of scoliotic curves.   methods: all adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (ais) patients included in the study were classified according to lenke and king classification. the fusion levels were selected according to the rigidity of the existing curves (correction less than 50%), tilt of t1 an...

Effects of gender and age on structural brain asymmetry were studied by 3D texture analysis in 380 adults. Asymmetry is detected by comparing the complex 3D gray-scale image patterns in the left and right cerebral hemispheres as revealed by anatomical T1-weighted MRI datasets. The Talairach and Tournoux parcellation system was applied to study the asymmetry on five levels: the whole cerebrum, n...

A 40-year-oldman presented with a 6-month history of insidious and gradual onset of progressive pain in right shoulder and neck. He also noted progressive weakness of his right upper and lower limb. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of his brain and spine was performed that revealed an intradural extramedullary lesion at the cervicomedullary junction (CMJ), for which he underwent surgery in Fe...

The aim of this study was to report the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of intracranial tumors in 26 dogs. The medical records of dogs admitted to the Department of Surgery, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Ankara University for central nervous system disorders were reviewed, and dogs with intracranial tumors that were diagnosed with MRI between November 1997 and June 2006 were include...

3.0Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) was compared with combined 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients with suspected bone metastases from breast cancer. A prospective clinical study was performed in 13 female breast cancer patients (mean age 61years; range 45-85 years). The spine was imaged in ...

A fat-saturated twice-refocused spin echo sequence was implemented on a GE Signa 1.5-T whole-body system for diffusion-weighted imaging. Data were acquired using an analytically designed interleaved variable-density (VD) spiral readout trajectory. This flexible design algorithm allowed real-time prescription on the scanner. Each interleaf of the VD spiral oversampled the center of k-space. The ...

Three patients with a clinical diagnosis of pontine infarction probably due to basilar artery occlusion were studied with magnetic resonance imaging within 24 hours after onset or latest progression of symptoms. The earliest changes on magnetic resonance images were an absence of signal void in the basilar artery suggestive of severe reduction of blood flow or occlusion (flow-void phenomena). T...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com A 26-year-old primigravida presented to the ultrasound unit at 21 weeks of spontaneous gestation for routine screening. 2D and 3D Ultrasound examination using Esaote (MyLabSIX) machine equipped with 7 and 10 MHz probes detected widening of the spinal canal in coronal section and additional echogenic focus in the widened portion of the vertebral colu...

introduction: coronal leakage seems to play an important role in the failure of endodontic treatment. a double seal over root canal filling has been suggested as a means of improving the coronal seal. several restorative materials have been used in an attempt to produce a coronal barrier. the purpose of this study was to assess gray-coloured mineral trioxide aggregate (gmta), white-coloured min...
