introduction: the limited resolution of the imaging system causes partial volume effects (pves). these results in spreading of image counts to the neighboring pixels. this phenomenon is called spill-out effect. this study aimed at quantifying pves using imagej. methods:technetium-99m solution of concentration of 74 kbq/ml was filled into spheres a, b and c of diameters: 26 mm, 20 mm and 16 mm r...

decidualized ovarian endometrioma is a rare phenomenon in pregnancy, which can mimic ovarian malignancy in imaging and often poses a diagnostic challenge. we report a case of a large ruptured decidualized ovarian endometrioma in a 15 weeks gestation patient, and we will describe the imaging characteristics (ultrasonography and mr imaging findings) and the histopathological findings (macro- and ...

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...

background: gliomas are the most common primary neoplasms of the central nervous system. relative cerebral blood volume (rcbv) could estimate high-grade gliomas computed with dynamic susceptibility contrast mr imaging which it is artificially lowered by contrast extravasation through a disrupted blood-brain barrier. objectives: our intent was to clarify the usefulness of diffusion-weighted magn...

this study was conducted to evaluate how neuroimaging procedures (mri, spect) could be used in clinical setting for diagnosis of dementia.forty out of 94 patients suspected of having a diagnosis of dementia, referred to radiology department for consecutive neuroimaging procedures, were selected. patients’ medical records reviewed anda retrospective diagnosis was reached according to dsm-iv for ...

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...
