The objective of the current study was to evaluate the sensitivity and the specificity of perimetry combined with volumetry in the treatment of lymphedema. Ninety women, who had been submitted to breast cancer surgery, were randomly selected in the Government Healthcare Clinic for this study. Only patients who underwent surgical treatment of breast cancer with some degree of lymphadenectomy wer...

Background Automated brain volumetry has been widely used to assess volumetric changes that may indicate clinical states and progression. Among the tools implement automated volumetry, AccuBrain validated for its accuracy, reliability applications older version (IV1.2). Recently, underwent a substantial revision update (IV2.0) segmentation algorithms. Here, we aim compare performance of two ver...

Purpose. The objective is to compare lateralizing ability of three quantitative MR (qMRI) modalities to depict changes of hippocampal architecture with clinical entities in temporal lobe epilepsy. Methods. We evaluated 14 patients with clinical and EEG proven diagnosis of unilateral TLE and 15 healthy volunteers. T1-weighted 3D dataset for volumetry, single-voxel 1H MR spectroscopy (MRS), and d...

Transient epileptic amnesia (TEA) is a recently recognised form of epilepsy of which the principle manifestation is recurrent, transient episodes of isolated memory loss. In addition to the amnesic episodes, many patients describe significant interictal memory difficulties. Performance on standard neuropsychological tests is often normal. However, two unusual forms of memory deficit have recent...

AbstractMRI is conventionally employed in neonatal brain diagnosis and research studies. However, the traditional segmentation protocols omit differentiation between heterogeneous white matter (WM) tissue zones that rapidly evolve change during early development. There a reported correlations of characteristics transient WM compartments (including periventricular regions, subplate, etc.) with m...

OBJECTIVES Muscle volume in patients with muscle disease is an index of disease progression. The aim of this study was to demonstrate a new method of muscle volumetry using CT of thigh muscles. DESIGN Observational study. PARTICIPANTS (1) For muscle volumetry using CT and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), 13 patients with muscle disease participated. (2) For prospective CT volumetry, ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of high-pitch mode (HPM) in dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) on the accuracy of three-dimensional (3D) volumetry for solid pulmonary nodules. MATERIALS AND METHODS A lung phantom implanted with 45 solid pulmonary nodules (n = 15 for each of 4-mm, 6-mm, and 8-mm in diameter) was scanned twice, first in conventional pitch mode (CPM) and then in HPM usin...
