Purpose To correlate quantitative diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) parameters derived from conventional monoexponential DWI, stretched exponential diffusion kurtosis (DKI), and diffusion-tensor (DTI) with histopathologic tumor tissue composition in prostate cancer a preliminary hypothesis-generating study. Materials Methods This retrospective institutional review board–approved study included 24 patients (mean age, 63 years) who underwent magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, including...
Abstract Background To compare image quality, lesion detection and patient comfort of 3T prostate MRI using a combined rigid two-channel phased-array endorectal coil an external (ERC-PAC) compared to PAC acquisition in the same patients. Methods Thirty three men (mean age 65.3y) with suspected ( n = 15) or biopsy-proven cancer (PCa, 18) were prospectively enrolled this exploratory study. including T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) diffusion-weighted (DWI) was performed ERC-PAC versus alone, random...
<h3></h3> <b>Background:</b> Repetitive microtrauma can lead to trapezoid and second metacarpal stress fractures in racket sport players. Nontraumatic are rare difficult diagnose. To our knowledge, only 3 cases had been reported as of May 2023. We report the fourth case a nontraumatic sports-related fracture tennis player. <b>Case Report:</b> A 29-year-old professional right hand–dominant male player presented with hand wrist pain for weeks. He complained dorsal tenderness proximal base that...
The objective of this study is to investigate the dimensional and volumetric measurements in thyroarytenoid (TA) muscle men women using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). hypothesis that there a gender-related difference these measurements. A retrospective chart review 76 patients who underwent MRI neck at American University Beirut Medical Center was conducted. dimension volume right left TA were measured on axial coronal planes short tau inversion recovery images. Male female groups...
We conducted a retrospective chart review to compare four characteristics-cricoarytenoid joint ankylosis, narrowing, erosion, and density increases-in patients younger older than 65 years. Our study population was made up of 100 patients, who were divided into two groups on the basis age. The group (<65 yr) comprised 49 (27 men 22 women), (≥65 51 (25 26 women). Findings computed tomography (CT) neck used determine whether each characteristics present or absent. Overall, we found only one...
Introduction: The anterolateral ligament (ALL) is a controversial in the knee that may play significant role stability. It difficult to identify on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and often injured conjunction with other ligaments, such as anterior cruciate (ACL) medial collateral ligament. Case presentation: This unique case of an isolated ALL tear 48-year-old woman who presented severe left pain, swelling, inability bear weight during yoga session. Physical examination showed swelling...
Background: COVID-19 is an infection secondary to the novel SARS-COV-2 virus with a well-established increased risk for thrombotic events. However, interaction between and other patient-specific hereditary or acquired thrombophilias remains poorly explored area. Case Presentation: We herein report case of 23-year-old Caucasian female known factors coagulopathy (smoking, oral contraceptives, anti-phospholipid (aPL) antibodies, heterozygous Factor V Leiden mutation, homozygous...
