The role of dynamic contrast-enhanced-MRI (DCE-MRI) for Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) scoring is a controversial topic. In this retrospective study, we aimed to measure the added value DCE-MRI in combination with T2-weighted (T2W) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) using PI-RADS v2.1, terms reproducibility diagnostic accuracy, detection prostate cancer (PCa) clinically significant PCa (CS-PCa, Gleason Score ≥ 7). 117 lesions 111 patients were identified as suspicion by...
Tool-use skills represent a significant cognitive leap in human evolution, playing crucial role the emergence of complex technologies. Yet, neural mechanisms underlying such capabilities are still debated. Here we explore with fMRI functional brain networks involved tool-related action understanding. Participants viewed images depicting action-consistent (e.g., nail-hammer) and action-inconsistent scarf-hammer) object-tool pairs, under three conditions: semantic (recognizing tools previously...
For decades, the main imaging tool for multiple myeloma (MM) patient’s management has been conventional skeleton survey. In 2014 international working group defined advantages of whole-body low dose computed tomography (WBLDCT) as a gold standard, among modalities, bone disease assessment and subsequently implemented this technique in MM diagnostic workflow. The aim study is to investigate, 30 patients with new diagnosis MM, radiation (CT index, dose-length product, effective dose),...
Despite the progress in cardiovascular research, atherosclerosis still represents main cause of death worldwide. Clinically, diagnosis Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) relies on imaging methodologies including X-ray angiography and computed tomography (CT), which however fails identification patients at high risk plaque rupture, severe clinical events as stroke heart attack. Magnetic resonance imaging, is characterized by very spatial resolution, could provide a better...
Four-dimensional (4D) flow cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) represents an emerging technique for non-invasive evaluation of the aortic flow. The aim this study was to investigate a 4D-flow CMR sequence assessment thoracic aorta comparing different vendors and fields MR scanner in fifteen healthy volunteers.CMR performed on three MRI scanners: one at 1.5 T two 3 T. Flow parameters planar wall shear stress (WSS) were extracted from six transversal planes along full by operators. Inter-vendor...
Incarcerated inguinal hernia is a common diagnosis in patients presenting painful and nonreducible groin mass. Although the usually made by physical examination, content of sac extent surgical operation may vary can require multimodal imaging integration (e.g., ultrasonography, computed tomography); usual finding segment small bowel and, less commonly, large bowel. We present an extremely rare case sigmoid cancer incarcerated left infiltrating spermatic cord. The patient underwent whole-body...
Severe thalamic injury can determine a particular type of vascular dementia affecting multiple network dysfunctions, considered the central role thalamus as hub for afferent and efferent stimuli. A 67-year-old male patient with bilateral stroke was studied positron emission tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, cognitive assessment, performed at baseline two follow-up evaluations. pattern primarily involving thalamo-frontal connections observed by both PET tractography analyses. All...
The development of multislice computed tomography (CT) scanners able to acquire high-resolution isotropic volumetric datasets has paved the way for elaboration three-dimensional (3D) CT images into clinical practice. Currently, both maximum intensity projection (MIP) and volume rendering (VR) methods are commonly used as adjuncts axial multiplanar reformations (MPR) in cases complex anatomy physiology (1).
Background: Functional motor conversion disorders are characterized by neurological symptoms unrelated to brain structural lesions. The present study was conducted on a woman presenting causing dysfunction, using advanced multimodal neuroimaging techniques, electrophysiological and neuropsychological assessment. Methods. patient underwent fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography-computed tomography (FDG-PET-CT) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with both task resting-state...
Pandemics have the potential to change how people behave and feel. The COVID-19 pandemic is no exception; thus, it may serve as a "challenging context" for understanding pandemics affect people's minds. In this study, we used high-density electroencephalography (EEG) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) examine neural correlates of fear contagion during most critical moments in Italy (i.e., October 2020-May 2021). To do that, stimulated participants (N = 17; nine females) with...
Ectopic teeth in the maxillary sinus are a rare finding and pose diagnostic challenge due to their unusual location clinical management. A 28-year-old man presented with complaints of discomfort pressure region. CT scan cinematic rendering revealed presence ectopic bilaterally. The use provided more detailed accurate visualization surrounding anatomical structures. is primary imaging modality used for diagnosis sinus. In addition, can improve accuracy reduce need further studies. help sinus,...
