Comprehensive, multiparametric (anatomical, functional and pharmacokinetic) MR Imaging of the breast on a patient with breast cancer. The lesion shows enhancement kinetic curve type III (fast contrast uptake/wash-in and wash-out), diffusion restriction and irregular borders. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. On a global scale, every tenth woman is affected, and numbers …
DTI (fiber-tracking map/Tractography) of the sacral plexus (left) and sciatic nerve (right). DTI depicts the anisotropic diffusion and can provide useful structural information about the nerves. Image dataset acquired at 3.0 Tesla. Images courtesy of Bac Nguyen.
Arnold-Chiari Malformation Type III With Meningoencephalocele (Jeong DH et al. 2014)! Arnold-Chiari malformation type III (CM III) is an extremely rare anomaly with poor prognosis. An encephalocele with brain anomalies as seen in CM II, and herniation of posterior fossa contents like the cerebellum are found in CM III.
High resolution MR Imaging of the breast in a patient with invasive carcinoma of no special type (NST). Multiparametric MRI (anatomical and functional) can greatly help in tumour staging.
Figure illustrates the usefulness of whole body MRI, and shows a patient with malignant melanoma and widespread metastases including the brain. WB MR Imaging shows multiple lesions outside the field of view of CT thorax and abdomen. (a) A maximum intensity projection (MIP) image of DWI shows the disease distribution in a valuable overview of …
