Transient ischemic attack as the initial presentation of Takayasu arteritis in a young woman: A case report [PDF]
Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a challenging chronic inflammatory vasculitis of large vessels with unknown etiology. It usually affects the aorta and its main branches and in few cases it affects other arteries like pulmonary and coronary.

Information-Theoretic Registration with Explicit Reorientation of Diffusion-Weighted Images
We present an information-theoretic approach to the registration of images with directional information, and especially for diffusion-Weighted Images (DWI), with explicit optimization over the directional scale.

Clinical characteristics of unknown symptom onset stroke patients with and without diffusion-weighted imaging and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery mismatch [PDF]
Background: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) mismatch was suggested to identify stroke patients with unknown time of symptom onset likely to be within the time window for thrombolysis. Aims: We aimed

Value of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI and DWI in diagnosis of prostate cancer and its pathological comparison [PDF]
This study aims to assess the diagnostic utility of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the detection of prostate cancer (PCa) and to investigate the correlation between DCE-MRI signal

A Prospective Study on the Role of Diffusion Weighted MR Imaging in Charcterisation of Breast Masses [PDF]
Introduction: Breast MRI has been widely used for the detection, diagnosis and staging of breast cancer. Even though lower ADC, which is the objective measure of the diffusivity has been proved too strongly associated with malignant tumours, the ...
