PURPOSE: To prospectively compare computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and bone scintigraphy in athletes with clinically suspected early stress injury of tibia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Medical ethics committee approval informed consent were obtained. A total 42 patients experiencing tibial pain due to injuries evaluated. Eight had bilateral involvement; thus, 50 tibiae All underwent initial radiography that was negative for injury. MR CT, performed all within 1 month...
The claustrum is a thin layer of gray matter that at the center an active scientific debate. Recently, Constrained Spherical Deconvolution (CSD) tractography has proved to be extraordinary tool allowing track white fibers from cortex cortical and subcortical targets with subvoxel resolution. aim this study was evaluate claustral connectivity in human brain. Ten normal brains were analyzed by using High Angular Resolution Diffusion Imaging CSD-based technique. Tractography revealed 4 groups...
The bronchus sign on CT represents the presence of a leading directly to peripheral pulmonary lesion. We investigated value this in predicting results transbronchial biopsy and brushing 33 consecutive cases proved bronchogenic carcinoma studied with thin-slice (2-mm-thick sections). was seen 22 patients absent 11. Transbronchial showed 13 (59%) whom only two (18%) 11 it not seen. difference is statistically significant (Fisher's exact test, p = .029). When analyzed by order involved...

Purpose To prospectively evaluate the muscle fat fraction (MFF) measured with dual-echo dual-flip-angle spoiled gradient-recalled acquisition in steady state (SPGR) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging technique by using biopsy as reference standard. Materials and Methods After ethics approval, written informed consent from all patients was obtained. Twenty-seven consecutive patients, evaluated at Neuromuscular Disorders Center a possible diagnosis of neuromuscular disorder, were studied MR lower...
Abstract In the recent past, basal ganglia circuitry was simplified as represented by direct and indirect pathways hyperdirect pathways. Based on data from animal studies, we hypothesized a fourth pathway, cortico‐pallidal, that complements pathway to subthalamus. Ten normal brains were analyzed using high angular resolution diffusion imaging—constrained spherical deconvolution (CSD)‐based technique. The study performed with 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner (Achieva, Philips...
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> MR imaging tractography is increasingly used to perform noninvasive presurgical planning for brain gliomas. Recently, constrained spherical deconvolution was shown overcome several limitations of commonly DTI tractography. The purpose our study evaluate WM tract alterations both the corticospinal and arcuate fasciculus in patients with high-grade gliomas, through qualitative quantitative analysis probabilistic tractography, reliable planning. <h3>MATERIALS...
Despite impressive results, almost 30% of NET do not respond to PRRT and no well-established criteria are suitable predict response. Therefore, we assessed the predictive value radiomics [68Ga]DOTATOC PET/CT images pre-PRRT in metastatic GEP NET. We retrospectively analyzed 324 SSTR-2-positive lesions from 38 GEP-NET patients (nine G1, 27 G2, two G3) who underwent restaging before complete with [177Lu]DOTATOC. Clinical, laboratory, radiological follow-up data were collected for at least six...
OBJECTIVE. Our purpose was to assess the capacity of contrast-enhanced second-harmonic sonography detect a pseudocapsule in renal masses compared with conventional gray-scale sonography.
The aim of our study was to assess longitudinal (L), circumferential (C) and radial (R) strain (S) the left ventricle (LV) in patients with acute myocarditis preserved LV wall motion.Of 26 male that were enrolled, 13 (26+/-8 years) suffered from (25+/-2 healthy participants (controls). Both controls underwent cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) 2-dimensional S imaging (2D-S) echocardiography on same day. Myocardial strains (RS, LS CS) quantified by 2D-S. In myocarditis, a delayed enhancement...
The limbic system is part of an intricate network which involved in several functions like memory and emotion. Traditionally the role cerebellum was considered mainly associated to motion control; however evidences are raising about a learning skills, emotions control, mnemonic behavioral processes involving also connections with system. In 15 normal subjects we studied by probabilistic Constrained Spherical Deconvolution (CSD) tractography. main result our work prove for first time human...
The differential diagnosis between radiation necrosis, tumor recurrence and progression is crucial for the evaluation of treatment response planning. appearance treatment-induced tissue necrosis on conventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) similar to brain it could be difficult differentiate two entities follow-up MRI examinations. Dynamic Susceptibility Contrast-enhanced (DSC) Contrast-Enhanced (DCE) are perfusion techniques that use an exogenous, intravascular, non-diffusible...
Purpose To assess intracranial visual system changes of newly diagnosed Parkinson disease in drug-naïve patients. Materials and Methods Twenty patients with 20 age-matched control subjects were recruited. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (T1-weighted diffusion-weighted imaging) was performed a 3-T MR imager. White matter assessed by exploring white diffusion profile means diffusion-tensor imaging-based parameters constrained spherical deconvolution-based connectivity analysis voxel-based...
The coronavirus pandemic is causing confusion in the world. This also affects different guidelines adopted by each country. persistence of Coronavirus, responsible for disease 2019 (Covid-19) has been evaluated articles, but it still not well-defined, and method diffusion unclear. aim this manuscript to underline new Coronavirus features on environments surfaces. scientific literature poor topic research mainly focused therapy diagnosis, rather than characteristics virus. These data could be...
