conclusion a higher magnetic field strength and a decrease in the hr resulted in an increase in body temperature during the mri procedure. results our investigation of the physiological response to rf heating indicated a link between increasing age and body temperature. a higher increase in body temperature was observed in older patients after a 3.0-t mri (r = 0.07, p = 0.29 for 1.5-t mri; r = ...

conclusions the results of this study suggest that mri does not increase microleakage of amalgam restorations. results in teeth with amalgam filling, there were no significant differences of occlusal and gingival surface microleakage after mri exposure. occlusal and gingival surface microleakages were also similar with and without mri in teeth with bonded amalgam filling. materials and methods ...

background morphometric data of the frontal lobe are important for surgical planning of lesions in the frontal lobe and its surroundings. magnetic resonance imaging (mri) techniques provide suitable data for this purpose. objectives in our study, the morphometric data of mid-sagittal mri of the frontal lobe in certain age and gender groups of children have been presented. patients and methods i...

we report a patient diagnosed with whipple's disease (wd) who presented only with neurological symptoms. neuroimaging (mri) showed lesions with marked mass effect similar to infiltrative tumors, which were hypersignal on long tr and hyposignal on short tr images, located in several areas of the brain. in serial controls, lesions resolved with gliosis and atrophic changes as well as migration of...

background: carbon monoxide (co) poisoning may lead to hypoxic/anoxic injury and eventually ischemic encephalopathy. magnetic resonance imaging (mri) has a well-recognized role in assessment of the severity of brain damage caused by co poisoning. in this study, we aimed to present and analyze the structural abnormalities in the brain mri and especially in diffusion weighted mri (dwi) images in ...

introduction while primary malignant tumors of the heart are rare, angiosarcomas are the most common cardiac malignant tumors. case presentation we describe a 23-year-old woman who presented with a right atrial mass, which was discovered to be a cardiac angiosarcoma. we demonstrate the use of several noninvasive imaging modalities along with pathology confirmation for the definitive and compreh...

The clinical diagnosis of transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor stroke is highly subjective, especially if the brain imaging does not reveal any evidence of ischemic lesion. Herein, I report a case of small vessel TIA and another case of lacunar infarction in which the ischemic lesions were detected with the perfusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A 76-year-old woman presented w...

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the usefulness of 3-tesla (3T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) including T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), time-of-flight (TOF) magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), T2*-weighted gradient recalled echo (GRE), and susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) in diagnosing brain death. MATERIALS AND METHODS Magnetic resonance imaging findings for 1...

Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) is a method of signal contrast generation based on the differences in Brownian motion. DWI is a method to evaluate the molecular function and micro-architecture of the human body. DWI signal contrast can be quantified by apparent diffusion coefficient maps and it acts as a tool for treatment response evaluation and assessment of disease progression. Ability to d...

This paper focuses on the latest research of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI), and deals with economic benefits, diagnostic benefits, and prospects of DWI for lung cancer. The medical cost of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is 81%-84% cheaper than that of 18-fluoro-2-deoxy-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT). DWI is reported to be useful f...
