a case of bilateral intraosseous tumor of the calcaneus with different mri imaging is presented. on the left, radiological findings suggest intraosseous lipoma, but on the right-sided lesion, imaging studies were not convincing. the microscopic report showed foreign body granulomatous reaction, a rare clinical pathological discordant.

Aim: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate imaging artifacts induced by Titanium, Zirconium, Titanium-Zirconium abutments in CT, MRI and CBCT imaging modalities.Methods: A 4×8mm titanium fixture was inserted in a dry human mandible. Titanium, Zirconium and Titanium–Zirconium abutments measuring 10.5 mm in height are located on the fixture, one by one. Each abutment was scan...

purpose: suitable magnetic resonance imaging (mri) techniques from conventional to new devices can help physicians in diagnosis and follow up of multiple sclerosis (ms) patients. the aim of present research was to compare effectiveness of fluid attenuation inversion recovery (flair) sequence of conventional mri and diffuse weighted imaging (dwi) sequence as a new technique in detection of brain...

Background: To retrospectively describe imaging characteristics of liver metastases on fused FDG-PET/ MRI data sets and to compare the diagnostic accuracy of MRI and fused FDG-PET/MRI data sets for the detection of liver metastases in patients undergoing systemic anticancer treatment. Materials and Methods: 43 oncological patients (mean age: 56+/- 11 years) were investigated by FDG-PET...

Introduction: Scintigraphy has been considered as a useful tool in the assessment of meniscal tears. Our objective was to assess the accuracy of single photon emission tomography (SPECT), using MRI as the gold standard, in the diagnosis of meniscal tears. Materials and Methods: Between January 2003 and February 2005, 45 patients were studied with SPECT and MRI. Results: The respective sen...

introduction: recently, magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (mrsi), as a functional imaging method, has been used for clinical target volume definition. in this study, we used this method to define the target volume in prostate radiotherapy. material and method: in this study, we used images of 20 prostate cancer cases. mrsi and mri images were fused with ct images. then, treatment plannin...

background: an effective polymer gel dosimeter can be fabricated by varying the composition of its chemical components. materials and methods: the magat gel dosimeter formulations that used different compositions of methacrylic acid (maa) and gelatin were extensively investigated in the present study according to the r2–dose response and r2–dose sensitivity. the irradiation of magat gel was per...

background and objectives: multiple sclerosis (ms) is the most common demyelinating disease of the central nervous system with more than 5.2 million people across the world being afflicted with. magnetic resonance im­aging (mri) is a valuable tool in the diagnosis of ms. this study surveys the results of mri of the central nervous system and paranasal sinuses in the sample of ms patients in ker...

objectives upon completion of this presentation, participants will be able to: 1) recognize mri appearance of the spontaneous intracranial hypotension and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri). 2) review their various clinical and imaging presentations. conclusions in this presentation we will review imaging presentations of our several proved cases. as mentioned, there are...
