To comfort the afflicted and afflict comfortable" is advice Don Mitchell takes wholly to heart in this passionate book, directed especially scholars who eschew "rights talk" juridical analysis as somehow removed from project of progressive research making more just societies.Mitchell a point departure Henri Lefebvre's "right city cry demand;" that is, right not only inhabit urban spaces but also participate an ongoing work creation, production, negotiation.
To better correlate the appearance of avascular necrosis (AVN) femoral head on magnetic resonance (MR) images with stage disease, MR 56 proved AVN lesions were compared staging from corresponding radiographs (n = 56), Tc-99m scans 41), and grade symptoms 28). Fractures complicating seen in 28 (50%) (radiographic stages III-V). With long repetition (TR) echo delay (TE) times, a characteristic "double line sign" consisting high signal intensity inside low-intensity peripheral rim was 45 (80%)....
To improve standardization and consensus regarding performance, interpreting, reporting computed tomography (CT) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations of the liver in patients at risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), LI‐RADS (Liver Imaging Reporting Data System) was launched March 2011 adopted by many clinical practices throughout world. categorizes nodules recognized CT or MRI, high HCC, as definitively benign, probably intermediate probability being HCC (corresponding to...
To evaluate single-shot fast spin-echo (SE) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for depiction of pancreatic cysts in a large number patients and to analyze cyst prevalence with respect patient age sex other clinical information.Single-shot SE images the pancreas were obtained 1,444 patients. The reviewed presence cysts, which classified as simple nonsimple types, diameters measured. kappa statistic, Fisher exact, McNemar Q, Pearson product moment correlation tests performed.Two hundred...
Benign adrenocortical masses often contain lipid; metastases and pheochromocytomas do not. Standard lipid-sensitive (chemical shift) magnetic resonance (MR) images of the adrenal glands in 31 patients with 45 were reviewed to determine if simple visual analysis these would increase diagnostic specificity. Lipid was considered present signal intensity mass relative other tissues decreased on chemical shift comparable standard images. Both myelolipomas 26 27 benign cortical displayed a loss at...
The purpose of our study was to assess the reliability and usefulness parallel imaging for apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurement abdominal organs lesions.Single-shot spin-echo echo-planar diffusion-weighted MRI (TE = 66, b 0, 600 s/mm2) performed in phantom clinical studies. value set minimize effects perfusion tissue maintain signal-to-noise ratio. Bottle phantoms were scanned with without various factors at positions evaluate on ADCs. In 200 consecutive patients (122 men 78...
To compare magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and clinical examination for delineating early cervical cancer measuring tumor size.A 25-center study enrolled 208 patients with biopsy-proven invasive MRI CT before attempted curative radical hysterectomy. Each was interpreted prospectively by one onsite radiologist retrospectively four independent offsite radiologists, who were all blinded to surgical, histopathologic, other findings. Likelihood of stromal uterine body...
PURPOSE: To assess the value of fat-suppressed contrast material-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in diagnosis osteomyelitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: T1- and T2-weighted MR was performed 51 cases suspected Nonenhanced contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images were also obtained. Three-phase bone scan results available for 30 cases. Complicating clinical factors, including chronic osteomyelitis (n = 26), postoperative state 17), neuropathic disease foot 5), identified 73% RESULTS: In...
To compare magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) with each other to International Federation of Gynecology Obstetrics (FIGO) clinical staging in the pretreatment evaluation early invasive cervical cancer, using surgicopathologic findings as reference standard.This prospective multicenter study was conducted by American College Radiology Imaging Network Gynecologic Oncology Group from March 2000 November 2002; 25 United States health centers enrolled 208 consecutive...
PURPOSE: To determine whether a modified caudate–right lobe ratio (C/RL) with use of the right portal vein to set lateral boundary (C/RL-r) is more accurate for diagnosing cirrhosis and evaluating its clinical severity than previously described C/RL main (C/RL-m). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two hundred thirty-six patients (121 pathologically proved 115 without history chronic hepatic diseases) underwent magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. independent observers measured C/RL-r compared it C/RL-m....
To retrospectively determine the benchmark incidence of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) related to confirmed use different gadolinium chelate contrast agents at four U.S. university tertiary care centers.Institutional review board approval was obtained for this HIPAA-compliant multi-institutional study; requirement informed patient consent waived. Patients who had a diagnosis NSF between January 2000 and December 2006 were identified centers with renal transplant dialysis services. A...
Accuracy of T1-weighted chemical-shift MR imaging for the differentiation between benign and malignant adrenal masses was blindly assessed among three radiologists.MR performed at 1.5 T in 50 patients with 58 masses, proved (n = 38) or 20) based on surgery growth (malignant) stable size (benign) least 1 year. In-phase spin-echo sequences in-phase breath-hold fast multiplanar spoiled gradient-recalled echo (FMPSPGR) a TE 4.2 msec were compared opposed-phase FMPSPGR TR/TE 35-155/2.2-2.9 90...
Purpose: To retrospectively compare diagnostic performance and interobserver variability for computed tomography (CT) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the pretreatment evaluation of early invasive cervical cancer, with surgical pathologic findings as reference standard. Materials Methods: This HIPAA-compliant study had institutional review board approval informed consent preoperative CT (n = 146) and/or MR 152) studies 156 women (median age, 43 years; range, 22–81 years) from a previous...
Purpose To determine in a large multicenter multireader setting the interreader reliability of Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) version 2014 categories, major imaging features seen with computed tomography (CT) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, potential effect reader demographics on agreement preselected nonconsecutive image set. Materials Methods Institutional review board approval was obtained, patient consent waived for this retrospective study. Ten sets, comprising 38-40...
PURPOSE: To determine if comparison of in-phase and opposed-phase gradient-echo magnetic resonance (MR) images enables detection lipid in renal clear cell carcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective search MR pathologic records identified 43 patients with biopsy-proved masses who underwent imaging. Thirty-three had carcinoma (27 carcinoma), 10 other tumors. With images, a region-of-interest measurement signal intensity the mass was divided by that reference tissue. In each patient,...
The purpose of this study was to define the common appearances hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients North America by analyzing T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and serial gadolinium-enhanced gradient-echo images interpreted radiologists at multiple institutions America. One hundred thirteen consecutive with HCC from eight were included retrospective case series. Inclusion criteria MR imaging examinations performed on 1.5-T imagers using T1-weighted breath-hold spoiled images, T2-weighted...
