Extracranial applications of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging [PDF]
European Radiology, 2007 Diffusion-weighted MRI has become more and more popular in the last couple of years. It is already an accepted diagnostic tool for patients with acute stroke, but is more difficult to use for extracranial applications due to technical challenges mostly related to motion sensitivity and susceptibility variations (e.g., respiration and air-tissue ...

Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging [PDF]
, 2018 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique based on the contents and relaxation features of water in tissues. In basic MRI sequences, diffusion phenomenon of water molecules is not taken into account although it has a notable influence in the relaxation times, and therefore in the signal intensity of images.

Magnetic resonance diffusion–weighted imaging: extraneurological applications [PDF]
La radiologia medica, 2006 Diffusion-weighted (Dw) imaging has for a number of years been a diagnostic tool in the field of neuroradiology, yet only since the end of the 1990s, with the introduction of echoplanar imaging (EPI) and the use of sequences capable of performing diffusion studies during a single breath hold, has it found diagnostic applications at the level of the ...

Intracranial yolk sac tumor in an adult patient: MRI, diffusion-weighted imaging and 1H MR spectroscopy features [PDF]
, 2012 Introduction. Yolk sac tumors represent only 5%-7% of intracranial germ cell tumors, which comprise about 1% of all primary brain tumors in adults. Literature data about nonspecific imaging characteristics of these tumors are scant.

Lung magnetic resonance imaging with diffusion weighted imaging provides regional structural as well as functional information without radiation exposure in primary antibody deficiencies [PDF]
, 2015 PURPOSE: Primary antibody deficiency patients suffer from infectious and non-infectious pulmonary complications leading over time to chronic lung disease. The complexity of this pulmonary involvement poses significant challenge in differential diagnosis

Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Acute Stroke [PDF]
Stroke, 1998 Background and Purpose —Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) is highly sensitive in detecting early cerebral ischemic changes in acute stroke patients. In this study we compared the sensitivity of DWI with that of conventional MRI techniques.

Magnetic resonance imaging for localization of prostate cancer in the setting of biochemical recurrence [PDF]
, 2016 The clinical suspicion of local recurrence of prostate cancer after radical treatment is based on the onset of biochemical failure. The use of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for prostate cancer has increased over recent years, mainly ...

Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Brain Death [PDF]
Stroke, 2000 Background —Traditionally the diagnosis of brain death is established on the basis of a combination of clinical signs and paraclinical methods. Diffusion-weighted MRI is a new method sensitive to cerebral ischemia. Its value in brain death has not been demonstrated until now. Case Description

Acute Ischemic Cerebrovascular Disease Clinical and Imaging Findings in an Epileptic Case [PDF]
, 2014 Hyperintensity at diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) and hipointensity at ‘apparent diffusion coefficient’ (ADC) mapping are indicators of cytotoxic edema. These changes are typical for acute ischemic cerebrovascular accidents.
