conclusion the study data highlighted good value of iodine-based material decomposition images of spectral ct in assessment of both lipiodol deposition and residual cancer for follow-up of hcc patients previously treated with tace. background it is critical to follow up hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (tace) in clinical practice. computed tomography...

conclusion using standard imaging parameters, each mri sequence reaches its maximum si in a specific contrast concentration, which is highest in se and least in ir in a comparison between se, fse and ir sequences. results this study shows that maximum si will appear at different ranges in different sequences. the maximum si can be seen at concentrations of 5.95, 4.96 and 3.98mmol/l for se, fse ...

intracystic carcinoma of the breast is a rare form of breast carcinoma. among all malignant breast tumors, this lesion has an incidence of 0.2-0.5%. these neoplasms have certain characteristic imaging findings which help to differentiate these lesions from other focal breast abnormalities. this report is on the case of a 48-year-old woman with a palpable, painless lump in her right breast. mamm...

we report an unusual case of hemimegalencephaly (hmg) associated with ipsilateral congenital-infiltrating lipomatosis of the face in a five-month-old boy. hemimegalencephaly is a rare but unique malformation characterized by enlargement of all or parts of a cerebral hemisphere. the affected hemisphere may have focal or diffuse neuronal migration defects, with areas of polymicrogyria, pachygyria...

Introduction: Chronic liver disease is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Almost 20% of patients have cirrhosis at presentation [1]. Previous studies have shown that alteration of hepatic perfusion parameters measured with CT or ultrasound in patients with liver cirrhosis correlate with the severity of chronic liver disease and the therapeutic outcome [2,3]. Recent studies assess li...

The last several decades have been marked by dramatic increases in the use of diagnostic medical imaging and improvements in the modalities themselves. As such, more data is being generated at an ever increasing rate. However, in the case of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) analysis and reports remain semi-quantitative, despite reported advantages of quantitative analysis (QA), due to prohibiti...

Background The dimensions of great vessels are measured in different methods in different institutes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the benefits of 3D dual phase steady-state free-precession(3D-DP SSFP)for measuring great arteries dimension, compared with 3D contrastenhanced magnetic resonance angiography (3D CEMRA) and 2D phase contrast imaging (Magnitude image) (2DPC-MI), in order...

case presentation we report a 5-year-old boy, who was presented with sudden right hand monoparesis and dysarthria. conclusions the patient was investigated with magnetic resonance angiography and diagnosed as md. introduction moyamoya disease (md) is a disorder caused by blocked arteries at the base of the brain. as the normal blood vessels narrow and become blocked, a person may suffer a strok...

ebstein anomaly is characterized by apical displacement of the septal and posterior tricuspid valve leaflets, leading to atrialization of the right ventricle and could be diagnosed in a routine transthoracic echocardiography exam. we reported a young man with right sided heart failure symptoms who was found to have biventricular failure with suspected apical displacement of septal leaflet of tr...
