Introduction: Recently, some studies have focused on dendrimer nanopolymers as an MRI contrast agent or a vehicle for gene and drug delivery. Considering the suitable properties of these materials, they are appropriate candidates for coating iron oxide nanoparticles which are applied to magnetic hyperthermia. To the best of our knowledge, the novelty of this study is the inves...

Introduction: Bacterial meningitis is an acute infectious inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain. Its early diagnosis is vital because of its high morbidity and mortality. It is mostly diagnosed by a gold standard diagnostic tool i.e. Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) analysis. However, it is sometimes difficult and or impossible to do this procedure and an alternative diagnostic t...

creutzfeldt-jacob disease is a prion disease which has a wide range of clinical presentations. its diagnosis is not simple and clinical manifestation along with eeg, mr imaging findings and cerebrospinal fluid (csf) analysis should be considered for a definite diagnosis. a-50-year-old woman referred with cognitive impairment, myoclonic jerks, mutism and difficulty in swallowing to our clinic. e...

Parathyroid adenomas, or hyperplasia may be present in patients with hypercalcemia. Treatment Is by surgical excision, but about 10% of the lesions may be In ectopic locations. Pre-operative localization of the lesions with non-lvasive imaging, using radionuclides, ultrasound, CT, or MR], may simplify surgery, and reduce patient morbidity. However, the reports of the accuracy of the curre...

osteomyelitis in childhood can be a challenging diagnosis. imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis of osteomyelitis in children, and the imaging findings are crucial in the treatment decision. pediatric hematogenous osteomyelitis may have variable radiological expression, which is influenced by the age and condition of the patient, the virulence of the causative agent, the stage of the...

    Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has long been considered a perfect imaging study for evaluation of shoulder pathologies despite occasional discrepancies between MR reports and arthroscopic findings. In this study we aim to evaluate impact of imaging center as an indicator of image quality on accuracy of MRI reports in diagnosis of rotator cuff tendon pathologies. Methods: We re...
