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...
To investigate whether dual-energy multidetector row computed tomographic (CT) imaging with iodine quantification is able to distinguish between clear cell and papillary renal carcinoma ( RCC ) subtypes.In this retrospective, HIPAA-compliant, institutional review board-approved study, 88 patients (57 men, 31 women) diagnosis of either or at pathologic analysis, who underwent contrast material-enhanced nephrographic phase study December 2007 June 2013, were included. Five readers, blinded...
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...
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.
To retrospectively evaluate the midterm outcome of patients treated for primary renal cell carcinomas arising in kidney transplants with minimally invasive techniques.The institutional review board each participating institution approved this retrospective study and waived informed consent. This was HIPAA compliant. A request cases through European Society Urogenital Radiology network made to institutions who fit requirements outlined by authors, a prospective follow-up recipients performed....
On computed tomography (CT) scanning, a ground-glass opacity zone surrounding pulmonary nodule has been named the halo sign. To investigate frequency and diagnostic value of CT sign, authors reviewed examinations 305 patients with proven diseases producing solitary or multiple nodules. The sign was seen in 22 (7%). Eleven had nodule; five nodules; six nodules associated areas consolidation, opacity, both. Solitary were result bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (n = 5), tuberculoma 2), squamous...
The purpose of this study was twofold: to determine whether asymptomatic distance runners exhibit cortical tibial abnormalities on CT and the diagnostic accuracy in athletes with medial stress syndrome.A cross-sectional high-resolution both tibiae performed 41 subjects: 20 runners, 11 unilateral or bilateral pain due syndrome (14 painful tibiae), 10 volunteers not involved a sport. group composed 13 women 28 men, ranging age from 18 26 years. A total 82 tibiae, 14 68 painless, were...
The purpose of this article is to quantify the CT radiation dose increment in five organs resulting from administration iodinated contrast medium.Forty consecutive patients who underwent both un-enhanced and contrast-enhanced thoracoabdominal were included our retrospective study. increase between before after agent was evaluated portal phase for thyroid, liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys by applying a previously validated method.An noted all studied. Average increments 19% 71% kidneys, 33%...
Reducing time and contrast agent doses are important goals to provide cost-efficient cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. Limited information is available regarding the feasibility of evaluating left ventricular (LV) function after gadobutrol injection as well defining lowest dose for high quality scar We sought evaluate both aspects separately systematically an optimized protocol contrast-enhanced CMR (CE-CMR) using gadobutrol.
