This paper focuses on automatic locating of pathological areas in brain and its extraction. The knowledge of properties of healthy brains are used for locating the approximate position of a pathological area. These areas are found as parts of the brain breaking the left-right symmetry. This method works for axial and coronal slices and it was tested on T2-weighted images and FLAIR images in bot...

PURPOSE To study the long-term MR findings in seven patients with Minamata disease. METHODS All patients examined were affected after eating daily considerable amounts of the methylmercury-contaminated seafoods from 1955 through 1958 and showed typical neurologic findings. T1- and T2-weighted images were obtained in axial, coronal, and sagittal sections. RESULTS The visual cortex, the cereb...

BACKGROUND Post-surgical evaluation of the pituitary gland in MRI is difficult because of a change in anatomical conditions. It depends also on numerous other factors, including: size and expansion of the tumour before surgery, type of surgical access, quality and volume of implanted materials and time of its resorption. The purpose was to demonstrate the characteristics of the implanted materi...

Answer: E A 27-year-old male with no medical illness presented to the orthopaedic clinic with left knee pain since 1 week. There was no history of trauma. There was no tenderness or swelling on physical examination and the range of motion of the left knee was normal. Frontal and lateral radiographs of the left knee (Fig. 1) were obtained, which showed an eccentric and well defined radiolucent l...

An 8-month-old infant presents with macrocephaly and a mild motoric deficit. The pediatrician asks a complementary MR examination to exclude hydrocephalus. MR-images show diffuse swelling of white matter with preservation of the corpus callosum and the internal capsule. Also the occipital periventricular and subcortical white matter is better preserved than the rest of the cerebral white matter...

Bilateral symmetry in vertebrates is imperfect and mild asymmetries are found in normal growth and development. However, abnormal development is often characterized by strong asymmetries. Coronal craniosynostosis, defined here as consisting of premature suture closure and a characteristic skull shape, is a complex trait. The premature fusion of the coronal suture can occur unilaterally associat...

Alzheimer disease (AD) at an early stage is characterized by a synaptic loss and atrophy in the apical layer of the CA1 part of the hippocampus, the stratum radiatum and stratum lacunosum-moleculare (SRLM). It was shown in vivo that patients with mild AD exhibit a reduced thickness of the SRLM. We propose a new approach to measure SRLM thickness in coronal brain sections. It is based on the int...

A 41-year-old man presented with moderate right shoulder pain on abduction. He had a history of sudden-onset right shoulder pain (10/10 in intensity) at rest and profound weakness on right shoulder ...
