conclusions adc valuecould be a prognostic factor to monitor the response to therapy for patients with cervical cancer. the addition of dw-mri to the conventional mri protocolsconsiderably improved the diagnostic ability of mr imaging method for tumor evaluations. results studies had shown thatthe mean adc value of cervical carcinoma (1.110 ± 0.175 × 10-3 mm2/s)is significantly lower than that ...

abstract background iron overload is the main transfusion related side effects in patients with transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathies. severe iron deposition in tissues leads to organ dysfunction. many organs can be affected such as heart, liver, and endocrine organs. cardiac failure and liver fibrosis are the consequent of iron overload in transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathy. magnetic re...

the application of magnetic resonance to diagnostic medical imaging stands as one of the great scientific achievements in the past 50 years. magnetic resonance techniques are easily applied to organs which remain stationary during the imaging procedure, such as the brain and musculoskeletal system. imaging of moving heart structures and circulating blood is considerably more difficult.   clinic...

intracranial lipoma is an uncommon entity. a rare type of tumor in the internal auditory canal (iac) and the cerebellopontine angle (cpa) is lipoma. there are a few case reports in the literature related to intravestibular lipoma. herein, we report a case of lipomas within the cerebellopontine angle and vestibule of the inner ear in a patient with tinnitus and dizziness. the patient was evaluat...

background: early diagnosis of brain tumors has significant effect on the treatment process. brain metastatic tumors are usually diagnosed following the neurological symptoms in patients or incidentally after computerized tomography (ct) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (mri) requests of the brain. objectives: implementation of a new method for being informed about the origin of brain tumors...

calcifying aponeurotic fibroma (caf) is a rare, benign fibroblastic tumor that typically occurs in the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, in children and adolescents. due to its infiltrative nature, this tumor can mimic malignancy on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and has a predilection for local recurrence. there are very few reports in the literature that describe featur...

Background: Gliomas are the most common primary neoplasms of the central nervous system. Relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) could estimate high-grade Gliomas computed with dynamic susceptibility contrast MR imaging which it is artificially lowered by contrast extravasation through a disrupted blood-brain barrier. Objectives: Our intent was to clarify the usefulness of diffusion-weighted m...
