purpose: suitable magnetic resonance imaging (mri) techniques from conventional to new devices can help physicians in diagnosis and follow up of multiple sclerosis (ms) patients. the aim of present research was to compare effectiveness of fluid attenuation inversion recovery (flair) sequence of conventional mri and diffuse weighted imaging (dwi) sequence as a new technique in detection of brain...

background hepatic fibrosis is a typical complication of chronic liver diseases resulting in cirrhosis that remains a major public health problem worldwide. liver biopsy is currently the gold standard for diagnosing and staging hepatic fibrosis. percutaneous liver biopsy; however, is an invasive procedure with risks of complications. therefore, there is need for alternative non-invasive techniq...

conclusion due to the significant improvement in the treatment of early stage of hcc compared to the previous decade, we suggest a fast, non-invasive, more accurate, but more expensive method (haste, op/ip t1w sequences mri combined with dwi) rather than us for the screening of hcc in liver cirrhosis. results combination of limited sequences mri and dwi had the highest accuracy (94.79%) followe...

background : magnetic resonance imaging of the breast is becoming a useful adjunct to mammography and sonography for the detection of breast lesions. however, it is not yet accepted as a routine examination for all breast cancer patients due to the lack of data regarding whether breast magnetic resonance imaging impacts recurrence or survival. this trial examines the use of magnetic resonance i...

background: the purpose of this study is to demonstrate the advantages of gradient echo (gre) sequences in the detection and characterization of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis compared to conventional magnetic resonance sequences. methods: a total of 17 patients with cerebral venous thrombosis (cvt) were evaluated using different magnetic resonance imaging (mri) sequences. the mri sequences i...

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) is a technique based on diffusion of water molecules in tissues with clinical applications to a wide array of pathological conditions. In vitro measurements of diffusion coefficients for liquids based on their nuclear magnetic resonance signal using the pulse field gradient method were originally described in the 1960s [1] and improved in the ...

We explored the utility of time-resolved angiography with interleaved stochastic trajectories dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (TWIST DCE-MRI), readout segmentation of long variable echo-trains diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging- diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (RESOLVE-DWI), and echo-planar imaging- diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (EPI...
