Magnetic resonance imaging of prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is one of the causes of cancer-related deaths. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides the best soft tissue resolution and plays an important role in the management of prostate cancer patients. It is the recommended imaging modality for patients with prostate cancer, and it is clinically indicated for diagnosis, staging, tumor localization, detection of tumor aggressiveness, follow-up, and MRI-guided interventions. Multiparametric MRI includes T1- and high-resolution T2-weighted imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging, and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI. We evaluated MR images of patients with prostate cancer who underwent multiparametric endorectal MRI on a 3.0-T scanner and presented demonstrative images. © 2016 Elsevier Inc

Maxillary sinus ossifying fibroma

A case of monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the maxillary sinus.

Fibrous dysplasia is an uncommon benign disease of the bone, with slow progression. Monostotic involvement of the paranasal sinuses is rare. We report a 54-year-old woman who had complaints of facial asymmetry, chronic sinusitis, recurrent headaches, and nasal obstruction for two years. Conventional radiography showed opacification and expansion of the maxillary sinus. Axial and coronal computed tomography scans showed a heterogeneous mass that expanded the right maxillary sinus, leading to nasal obstruction and cortical thickening of the maxilla. No signs of destruction or erosion in the cortical bone were identified. An endonasal endoscopic biopsy was performed and the diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia was confirmed histologically

Radiologic aspects of abdominal hydatidosis in children: A study of 31 cases in Turkey

Objective: To determine the location and radiological characteristics in children with abdominal hydatid disease (HD). Materials and methods: Thirty-one children (average age: 7.2 years) with abdominal HD were studied. The number, location, diameter and internal architecture of the cysts were assessed with abdominal ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT). Density measurements and enhancement patterns were determined on CT. Results: Twenty-one children had hepatic HD. The remaining 10 children had both hepatic and extrahepatic cysts. There were splenic cysts in five children, peritoneal cysts in two children and combined splenic and peritoneal cysts in three children. The most common site of the cysts was the liver (64%), followed by the spleen (20%) and the peritoneal cavity (16%). The seven intraabdominal cysts, which were not detected by US, were 20 mm or less in diameter. Conclusion: CT may demonstrate additional small intrahepatic or unsuspected extrahepatic cysts. Although rare, splenic or peritoneal hydatidosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of a cystic splenic or peritoneal lesion. Familiarity with atypical locations of HD may be helpful in making a prompt, accurate diagnosis. We think that in particular patients, especially those who had diagnostic problem and who are under surgical planning, CT should be performed additionally. © 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved

Brown tumor of the maxillary sinus: a case report [Maksiller sinüs yerleşimli brown tümörü: olgu sunumu.]

Brown tumor of the paranasal sinuses is rare. It is a benign fibro-osseous lesion, typically presenting as an expansile mass that leads to a cortical defect. We presented the radiological findings of a brown tumor of the right maxillary sinus in a 13-year-old boy who presented with complaints of swelling in the right maxillary region, headache, and epistaxis. Biochemical findings were compatible with primary hyperparathyroidism. The lesion was removed by partial parathyroidectomy. No recurrences or residual mass were detected during a six-month follow-up period

A case of cerebral hydatid cyst with an unusual CT finding

Brain involvement in hydatid disease is uncommon and usually seen in children. On computed tomography (CT) scans perifocal edema is not usually present and, when noted, usually reflects an infected cyst. We report an unusual case of an uninfected hydatid cystic lesion with surrounding edema on brain CT

Two cases of Kartagener syndrome [İki olgu nedeniyle Kartagener sendromu]

We present two cases of Kartagener syndrome with clinical and radiological findings. Routine thorax and paranasal sinus as well as high-resolution CT examinations were performed during the diagnosis of two patients suffering from extensive mucus and persistent cough. Situs inversus totalis, sinusitis, and bronchiectasia were found. These findings and related literature are discussed. Copyright © 2005 by Türkiye Klinikleri

Degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine: A prospective comparison of fast T1-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery and T1-weighted turbo spin echo MR imaging

Objective: To compare fast T1-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) and T1-weighted turbo spin-echo (TSE) imaging of the degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine. Materials and methods: Thirty-five consecutive patients (19 females, 16 males; mean age 41 years, range 31-67 years) with suspected degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine were prospectively evaluated. Sagittal images of the lumbar spine were obtained using T1-weighted TSE and fast T1-weighted FLAIR sequences. Two radiologists compared these sequences both qualitatively and quantitatively. Results: On qualitative evaluation, CSF nulling, contrast at the disc-CSF interface, the disc-spinal cord (cauda equina) interface, and the spinal cord (cauda equina)-CSF interface of fast T1-weighted FLAIR images were significantly higher than those for T1-weighted TSE images (P < 0.001). On quantitative evaluation of the first 15 patients, signal-to-noise ratios of cerebrospinal fluid of fast T1-weighted FLAIR imaging were significantly lower than those for T1-weighted TSE images (P < 0.05). Contrast-to-noise ratios of spinal cord/CSF and normal bone marrow/disc for fast T1-weighted FLAIR images were significantly higher than those for T1-weighted TSE images (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Results in our study have shown that fast T1-weighted FLAIR imaging may be a valuable imaging modality in the armamentarium of lumbar spinal T1-weighted MR imaging, because the former technique has definite superior advantages such as CSF nulling, conspicuousness of the normal anatomic structures and changes in the lumbar spinal discogenic disease and image contrast and also almost equally acquisition times. © 2004 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

Multiple intra-hepatic portal vein aneurysms: Findings of magnetic resonance angiography

In summary, we conclude that MRA was a useful diagnostic technique for the investigation of vascular aneurysms of the portal venous system. The routine use of non-invasive radiological methods, such as ultrasonography, can indicate PVAs, however, MRA is useful to confirm or resolve any doubt about the diagnosis, without the need for invasive techniques such as angiography
