Whole-body MRI for the staging and follow-up of patients with metastasisEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The advent of whole-body MRI (WB-MRI) has introduced tumor imaging with a systemic approach compared to established sequential, multimodal diagnostic algorithms. Hardware innovations, such as the introduction of multi-receiver channel whole-body scanners at 1.5 T and, recently, 3T, combined with acquisition acceleration techniques, have made high-resolution WB-MRI clinically feasible. Now, a dedicated assessment of individual organs with various soft tissue contrast, spatial resolution, and contrast media dynamics can be combined with whole-body anatomic coverage in a multiplanar imaging approach. More flexible protocols, ...

Whole-body MRI in the pediatric patientEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Whole-body MRI is a fast and accurate modality for the detection and monitoring of disease throughout the entire body. For pediatric use, the technique is of special interest twofold: first, it is a radiological method without radiation exposure and, second, it allows for whole-body staging as well as for detailed local evaluation for surgical treatment, thus reducing the number of examinations to be performed in sedation. In the pediatric population, the technique is used for oncological and nononcological (i.e., fever of unknown origin, osteonecrosis) staging and for disease severity assessment of syndromes affecting the...

To determine whether minute hepatic venous invasion in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can be diagnosed radiologically. CT hepatic arteriography (CTHA) and CT arterioportography (CTAP) of 95 cases with HCCs were examined. Histopathology after surgery has been the gold standard in all patients. Based on the presence of microscopic portal venous invasion (MPVI) and microscopic hepatic venous invasion (MHVI), the cases were classified into four groups as follows: Group vp0vv0, negative MPVI and MHVI; Group vp1vv0, positive MPVI and negative MHVI; Group vp0vv1, negative MPVI and positive MHVI; Group vp1vv1, positive MPVI and M...

MR Imaging of small bowel in Crohn's diseaseEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
MR and CT techniques optimized for small bowel imaging are playing an increasing role in the evaluation of small bowel disorders. Several studies have shown the advantage of these techniques over traditional barium fluoroscopic examinations secondary to improvements in spatial and temporal resolution combined with improved bowel distending agents. The preference of MR vs. CT has been geographical and based on expertise and public policy. With the increasing awareness of radiation exposure, there has been a more global interest in implementing techniques that either reduce or eliminate radiation exposure [Brenner DJ, Hall E...

Diagnosis and follow-up of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in children represent a challenging issue for pediatricians. Nowadays MR studies of the bowel represent a valid diagnostic tool especially in the diagnosis and follow-up of ileal and perianal Crohn's disease in children as well as in adults. The lack of ionizing radiation of MRI enhances the interest of clinicians with respect to CT studies of the bowel in children. Thanks to recent technical development in terms of fast MR images acquisition a reasonable image quality can be easily achieved in scholar-age children. (Source: Clinical Imaging)

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence and features of increased FDG uptake in uterine leiomyomas in apparently healthy women. The incidence of increased FDG uptake is 0.1% in all 2193 women, 0.5% in women with uterine leiomyoma, and 3.4% in women with degenerated leiomyoma. There was no relationship between the intensity of FDG uptake and the size/site of leiomyoma or the tendency of degeneration in leiomyoma. The women with the increased uptake were not limited at premenopause. (Source: Clinical Imaging)
