    RĂ©sumĂ© : L’objet d’étude de notre travail est l’usage des particules d’interaction dans le discours  de vulgarisation mĂ©dicale par le biais de la radio. En effet, notre analyse nous permet de palper de prĂšs comment ces ponctuants apparaissent et parsĂšment le discours   des interactants en situation de dĂ©bat radiophonique. Un discours de vulgarisation mĂ©dicale qui met en relation un journaliste qui reprĂ©sente le corps de la mĂ©diatisation, entre autre la radio ; des mĂ©decins invitĂ©s qui reprĂ©sentent l’esprit Ă©thique de la mĂ©decine et des auditeurs qui reflĂštent la conception sociale de la mĂ©decine. Une DĂ©restauration pour retrouver l’authenticitĂ© d’un mausolĂ©e ziyanide Sidi Ibrahim El Masmoudi Ă  Tlemcen

    International audienceBackground and purpose: Follow-up of intracranial aneurysms treated by flow diverter with MRI is complicated by imaging artifacts produced by these devices. This study compares the diagnostic accuracy of three-dimensional time-of-flight MR angiography (3D-TOF-MRA) and contrast-enhanced MRA (CE-MRA) at 3 T for the evaluation of aneurysm occlusion and parent artery patency after flow diversion treatment, with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) as the gold standard.Materials and methods: Patients treated with flow diverters between January 2009 and January 2013 followed by MRA at 3 T (3D-TOF-MRA and CE-MRA) and DSA within a 48 h period were included in a prospective single-center study. Aneurysm occlusion was assessed with full and simplified Montreal scales and parent artery patency with three-grade and two-grade scales.Results: Twenty-two patients harboring 23 treated aneurysms were included. Interobserver agreement using simplified scales for occlusion (Montreal) and parent artery patency were higher for DSA (0.88 and 0.61) and CE-MRA (0.74 and 0.55) than for 3D-TOF-MRA (0.51 and 0.02). Intermodality agreement was higher for CE-MRA (0.88 and 0.32) than for 3D-TOF-MRA (0.59 and 0.11). CE-MRA yielded better accuracy than 3D-TOF-MRA for aneurysm remnant detection (sensitivity 83% vs 50%; specificity 100% vs 100%) and for the status of the parent artery (specificity 63% vs 32%; sensitivity 100% vs 100%).Conclusions: At 3 T, CE-MRA is superior to 3D-TOF-MRA for the evaluation of aneurysm occlusion and parent artery patency after flow diversion treatment. However, intraluminal evaluation remains difficult with MRA regardless of the sequence used

    Post-contrast 3D T1-weighted TSE MR sequences (SPACE, CUBE, VISTA/BRAINVIEW, isoFSE, 3D MVOX): Technical aspects and clinical applications

    International audiencePost-contrast three-dimensional T1-weighted imaging of the brain is widely used for a broad range of vascular, inflammatory or tumoral diseases. The variable flip angle 3D TSE sequence is now available from several manufacturers (CUBE, General Electric; SPACE, Siemens; VISTA/BRAINVIEW, Philips; isoFSE, Itachi; 3D MVOX, Canon). Compared to gradient-echo (GRE) techniques, 3D TSE offers the advantages of useful image contrasts and reduction of artifacts from static field inhomogeneity. However, the respective role of 3D TSE and GRE MR sequences remains to be elucidated, particularly in the setting of post-contrast imaging. The purpose of this review was (1) to describe the technical aspects of 3D TSE sequences, (2) to illustrate the main clinical applications of the post-contrast 3D T1-w TSE sequence through clinical cases, (3) to discuss the respective role of post-contrast 3D TSE and GRE imaging in the field of neuroimaging
