Introduction: Geometric distortion is a major shortcoming of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which has an important influence on the accuracy of volumetric measurements, an important parameter in neurology and oncology. Our goal is to design and construct a new three- dimensional phantom using a 3D printer in order to measure geometric distortion and its reproducibility in...

Neurofibroma of the prostate is an extremely rare benign tumor, particularly when it is not associated with neurofibromatosis-I (NF-1). This study aimed to report the case of a 44-year-old man who presented with dysuria for about 4 years. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a mass in the prostate with “target sign” on T2-weighted imaging. The mass was surgically excised, and histopathologic...

Objective(s): The present study aimed to evaluate the capability of synthesized and modified superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) as the positive contrast agent in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by investigating the effect of repetition time (TR) on the MRI signal intensity. Materials and Methods: SPIONs were synthesized using the co-precipitation method, and their surfac...

conclusion gm presents with a wide range of conventional radiological findings, hampering the diagnosis. in patients with inconclusive conventional findings, mri may assist in the differential diagnosis and assessment of the extent of disease. however, a definitive diagnosis and relevant treatment require histopathological confirmation. objectives the aim of this study was to review the radiolo...

Introduction: The brain tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue in the brain, which is one of the most important challenges in neurology. Brain tumors have different types. Some brain tumors are benign and some brain tumors are cancerous and malignant. Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is the most common and deadliest malignant brain tumor in adults. The average survival rate for peo...

osteomyelitis in childhood can be a challenging diagnosis. imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis of osteomyelitis in children, and the imaging findings are crucial in the treatment decision. pediatric hematogenous osteomyelitis may have variable radiological expression, which is influenced by the age and condition of the patient, the virulence of the causative agent, the stage of the...

Introduction: Recent advances in nanoscience and biomedicine have attracted tremendous attention over the past decade to design and construct multifunctional nanoparticles that combine targeting, therapeutic, and diagnostic functions with a single platform to overcome the problems of conventional techniques for diagnosis and therapy with minimal toxicity.   Materials ...

lipomatosis of the nerve, also known as fibrolipomatous hamartoma, is characterized by the infiltration of the nerve by fibro-fatty tissue. the affected nerve becomes thicker, and it simulates a mass lesion. lipomatosis usually affects the median nerve and lipomatosis of the sciatic nerve is extremely rare. magnetic resonance imaging (mri) is the key to diagnosis, and it is usually pathognomoni...
