Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) has continued to develop into a powerful clinical tool to visualize venous structures and iron in the brain and to study diverse pathologic conditions. It is a new art which evaluates and exploits the properties of blood, iron and other tissues. It is a magnitude or filtered phase images or combination of both, obtained with high-resolution 3D fully velocit...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MR imaging has been proved to be effective in depicting wide variety of pathologic changes of the salivary gland. Therefore, we evaluated clinical usefulness of MR imaging for sialolithiasis. METHODS Sixteen patients with sialolithiasis of the submandibular gland underwent MR imaging. MR images of the glands were obtained with a conventional (T1-weighted), fast spin-ech...

results stereoscopic displays of the nerves were obtained in all 24 elbows by vr, mip, and fiber tractography post-processing methods. the vr/mip post-processing methods were easier to perform compared to fiber tractography. there was no significant difference among the scores of fiber tracking and vr/mip reconstruction for single direction. the imaging quality scores of fiber tractography and ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In this study, intensive video electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring, high-resolution MR imaging (MR imaging), proton MR spectroscopy ((1)H-MR spectroscopy) and single-photon emission CT (SPECT) were compared in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) to evaluate lateralization of affected hemisphere with regard to bilateral affection and postoperative outcome. PATIE...

Introduction: The multipurpose nanocomposites have gained growing biomedical attention as promising nanotheranostics to improve The effectiveness of cancer treatment, which concurrently combine advantages of the therapeutic and diagnostic techniques into one nanosystem. The “all-in on” probes not only help to ablate cancerous tumors, but also allow to optimize and monitoring of...

OBJECT Magnetic resonance imaging has been proposed as a powerful technique for assessing the integrity of the posterior ligamentous complex (PLC) in spinal trauma. Because MR imaging is often used to determine appropriate treatment, it is important to determine the accuracy and reliability of MR imaging in diagnosing PLC disruption. The purpose of this study is to compare the ability of the ra...

We studied the usefulness of an MR imaging-compatible electroencephalography (EEG) electrode system for continuous EEG recordings in our epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) by comparing 100 consecutive patients with MR imaging-compatible and MR imaging-incompatible EEG recording electrodes who underwent MR imaging between 3:00 pm and 7:00 am. The MR imaging-compatible system captured seizures in 21/...
