Advanced MRI features of intraventricular inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor: a case report
Background Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare central nervous system (CNS) tumor. We first report a rare case of IMT in the lateral ventricle and describe the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of the tumor with an emphasis on the ...

Role of diffusion-weighted MR imaging in discrimination between the intracranial cystic masses
Objective: Discriminating pyogenic brain abscesses from cystic or necrotic tumors is sometimes difficult with CT or conventional MR imaging. Diffusion MR imaging is a valuable diagnostic test in cases of intracranial cystic masses. Methods: This work was

Stroke penumbra defined by an MRI-based oxygen challenge technique: 1. validation using [14C]2-deoxyglucose autoradiography [PDF]
Accurate identification of ischemic penumbra will improve stroke patient selection for reperfusion therapies and clinical trials. Current magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques have limitations and lack validation.

Faster magnetic resonance imaging in emergency room patients with right lower quadrant pain and suspected acute appendicitis [PDF]
Purpose: Emergency Departments (ED) are becoming busier, with a resultant increase in the number of imaging referrals. The purpose of this study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of an abbreviated two sequence magnetic resonance (MR) protocol for ...

Variational denoising of diffusion weighted MRI
In this paper, we present a novel variational formulation for restoring high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) data. The restoration formulation involves smoothing signal measurements over the spherical domain and across the 3D image lattice.

Generating Diffusion MRI scalar maps from T1 weighted images using generative adversarial networks
Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (diffusion MRI) is a non-invasive microstructure assessment technique. Scalar measures, such as FA (fractional anisotropy) and MD (mean diffusivity), quantifying micro-structural tissue properties can be obtained ...

Diagnosis of recurrent cholesteatoma using diffusion weighted MRI
Objective: To assess the role of diffusion weighted images (DWI) MRI in differentiating post mastoidectomy recurrent cholesteatoma from infected postoperative granulation tissue. Materials and methods: 13 patients who performed mastoidectomy for previous
