Canavan Disease: Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings

Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 2003
A 15-month-old boy with Canavan disease is reported in whom a restricted diffusion pattern on diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (high signal on b = 1,000 mm2/s images and low apparent diffusion coefficient [ADC] values) was evident in the affected regions of the brain, including the peripheral white matter, globi pallidi, thalami, brainstem ...

Pelvic Applications of Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Images

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Clinics of North America, 2011
Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a powerful imaging technique in neuroimaging; its value in abdominal and pelvic imaging has only recently been appreciated as a result of improvements in magnetic resonance imaging technology. There is growing interest in the use of DWI for evaluating pathology in the pelvis. Its ability to noninvasively characterize

Magnetization Transfer and Diffusion Tensor Magnetic Resonance Imaging

2002
Patients with primary progressive (PP) multiple sclerosis (MS) represent a subgroup with clinical and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (MRI) characteristics which differ from those of patients with relapsing-remitting (RR) MS or secondary progressive (SP) MS [1,2]. Although they experience a progressive disease course from onset, the burden and activity

[Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging of thorax].

Tuberkuloz ve toraks, 2014
Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of Thorax is only useful for morphological evaluation, currently we can use it for functional evaluation such as diffusion weighted imaging. Currently, we can obtain higher quality images because of new technologies such as software that decrease motion artefact, use of multi-channel, parallel imaging and fast ...

Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Multiple Sclerosis

Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 2011
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is considered the most common inflammatory autoimmune neurologic disorder and the most frequent cause of nontraumatic neurologic disability in young and middle-age adults. This article reviews the basic features of its magnetic resonance (MR) imaging lesions and, primarily, the use of diffusion MR imaging, which is increasingly ...

Diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging in stroke

European Journal of Radiology, 2003
Diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging has evolved from an esoteric laboratory experiment to a critical aspect of routine clinical care of the patient presenting with symptoms suspicious of acute ischemic stroke. The purpose of this article is to review the basis of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), to consider its application in acute stroke ...

Whole-body diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging

European Journal of Radiology, 2009
Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) provides information on the diffusivity of water molecules in the human body. Technological advances and the development of the concept of diffusion-weighted whole-body imaging with background body signal suppression (DWIBS) have opened the path for routine clinical whole-body DWI.

Diffusion of magnetic resonance imaging in Iran

International Journal of Technology Assessment in Health Care, 2007
Objectives:The aim of this article is to describe the diffusion of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in Iran, including regional variations during the period of 1990 to 2005 and international comparisons.Methods:Data on the diffusion of MRI were obtained from the Medical Equipment Office of the Ministry of Health (MOH) and, using self-administered ...

Diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging

2004
Abstract A large body of evidence from in vivo imaging and post-mortem studies suggests that the brains of patients with schizophrenia are both structurally and functionally compromised. The most replicated gross morphometric findings from magnetic resonance (MR) imaging studies are enlarged lateral ventricles and reduced cerebral volume,

Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Breast

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Clinics of North America, 2011
Several studies have investigated the role of advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, such as diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), to improve the specificity of MRI for the evaluation of breast lesions. Potential roles for DWI and the apparent diffusion coefficient in characterizing breast tumors and distinguishing malignant from benign ...
