introduction cardiac hydatid cysts are rare and represent less than 2% of all hydatid cases. they can occur as part of a widespread systemic infection or an isolated event. case presentation here, we presented a case of cardiac hydatid cyst in interventricular septum. conclusions the case presented had some findings that suggested the specific diagnosis of hydatid cyst.

Today, neuroscientists are interested in discovering human brain functions through brain networks. In this regard, the evaluation of dynamic changes in functional connectivity of the brain regions by using functional magnetic resonance imaging data has attracted their attention. In this paper, we focus on two model-based approaches, called the exponential weighted moving average model and the d...

creutzfeldt-jacob disease is a prion disease which has a wide range of clinical presentations. its diagnosis is not simple and clinical manifestation along with eeg, mr imaging findings and cerebrospinal fluid (csf) analysis should be considered for a definite diagnosis. a-50-year-old woman referred with cognitive impairment, myoclonic jerks, mutism and difficulty in swallowing to our clinic. e...

INTRODUCTION The vast majority of paratesticular masses are benign. Magnetic resonance imaging of the scrotum may provide valuable information in the pre-operative work-up of scrotal masses, by allowing the precise localization of the lesion and helping in characterizing its nature. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging is an evolving technique that can be used to improve tissue charact...

Introduction: Bacterial meningitis is an acute infectious inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain. Its early diagnosis is vital because of its high morbidity and mortality. It is mostly diagnosed by a gold standard diagnostic tool i.e. Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) analysis. However, it is sometimes difficult and or impossible to do this procedure and an alternative diagnostic t...

basic physical principles of nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (n.m.r.i), a nonionizing medical imaging technique, are described. principles of nmri with other conventional imaging methods, ie, isotope scanning, ultrasonography and radiography have been compared. t1 and t2 and spin density (s.d.) factors and different image construction techniques based on their different combinations is discu...

This talk will shed some first light on the two imaging concepts diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and perfusion weighted imaging (PWI). On the one side one may criticize that for the lecture time given, this will definitely be an incredible or even impossible task: To give sufficient credit to both of these importantant imaging concepts. On the other side one could say: ’Come on, let’s talk abo...
