BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Metastasis to the skull is clinically important, but routine
MR imaging offers moderate sensitivity for skull-metastasis detection in our experience. We …

Objective This study was designed to determine whether diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)
with sensitivity encoding (SENSE) could detect bone marrow involvement in patients with …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Diffusion-weighted MR imaging of the spine has been
used to differentiate benign from pathologic vertebral body compression fractures. We …

Small focal ischaemic brain lesions are said to be easy to identify in the acute stage and to
differentiate from older lesions using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). Brain metastases …

Extra-axial intracranial metastases may arise through several situations. Hematogenous
spread to the meninges is the most frequent cause. Direct extension from contiguous extra …

Abstract Background Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) has been used in neurosurgical practice
mainly to distinguish cerebral metastases from abscess and glioma. There is evidence from …

The aim was to compare the abilities of contrast-enhanced CT, non-contrast-enhanced MR
imaging and contrast-enhanced MR imaging using standard (0.1 mmol/kg bw) and high (0.3 …

Hematogeneous spread of primary neoplasm can result in central nervous system (CNS)
disease burden in various anatomically distinct regions; calvarial, pachymeningeal …

Background MRI-based diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) visualizes the local differences in
water diffusion in vivo. The prognostic value of DWI signal intensities on the source images …

Objectives. In patients with extracranial neoplasms, the occurrence and number of brain
metastases (BM) are critical for further diagnostic approaches and therapeutic strategies and …
