The purpose of our study was to evaluate the potential of contrast-enhanced MR imaging to
detect and to characterize craniocervical rheumatoid arthritis in a large population group, to …

Stunned myocardium has been detected in patients treated successfully with thrombolytic
agents. The hypothesis of this study was that fast gradient echo (GRE) imaging could be used …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES. Little information is available about the direct action of
angiographic contrast media on vasoactive peptides and allergy-mediated substances in …

… Before intraductal contrast administration, scans were performed at 130 kV and 620 mA s
with a single-section volume mode, to exclude intraglandular calcifications. Section …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES. The degree to which pulmonary angiography may contribute
to serious complications in patients with pulmonary hypertension has not been clarified …

Purpose: Considerable clinical interest has focused on the size of ischemic myocardium.
Fast MR imaging in conjunction with MR contrast media has the potential to identify …

Stunned myocardium refers to a fully reversible postischemic mechanical dysfunction that
persists after reperfusion despite the absence of irreversible damage [1, 2]. Currently, …

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic disease of unknown origin that predominantly
involves synovial tissue. RA affects 0.5%–1.0% of the global population, with females …

The aim of this study was to depict and characterize inflammatory soft tissue proliferations
caused by rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in the craniocervical region by unenhanced and contrast-…

Objective: In our multi center trial we compared the potentials of biphasic contrast-enhanced
computed tomography (CT) and a novel tissue-specific magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) …
