BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The purposes of this study were to find the role of diffusion-weighted
MR imaging in characterizing intracerebral masses and to find a correlation, if any…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the prevalence and radiologic findings of annular tear (especially of
contrast material enhancement), bulging disk, and disk herniation on T2-weighted and …

High sensitivity (94%) and specificity (100%) have been reported in the diagnosis of acute
cerebral infarction with diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. However, high …

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging after ultra-small super paramagnetic iron oxide (USPIO)
injection and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) for …

The recent reports confirm the idea that the selection of cerebral stroke patients for thrombolysis
should be performed by MRI. These studies suggested that DWI/PWI/MRA may be able …

Owing to the intrinsically complex behavior of the signal intensity of fast gradient-refocusing
MR sequences, agreement as to the clinically most useful sequence parameters has not yet …

The differential diagnosis between intracerebral necrotic tumors and cerebral abscesses is
frequently impossible with conventional MR imaging. We report two cases of cerebral …

Object. Biopsy targeting based on MR imaging alone may fail to identify malignant areas in
brain gliomas. Considering the differences in relative Cerebral Blood Volume (rCBV) ratios …

We report a case of diastematomyelia associated with epidermoid cysts. On initial 1.5T MRI
the diagnosis of multicystic tumor or cysticercosis in the cauda equina was considered. A …

We compared intraarterial digital subtraction angiography (DSA) studies with those of
conventional angiography, performed for 24 patients who had intracranial tumors. Intraarterial …
