Unenhanced 3D turbo spin echo MR angiography of lower extremity arteries: comparison with 128-MDCT angiography.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the feasibility and diagnostic power of unenhanced 3D turbo spin echo MR angiography sequence (a technique based on subtraction of corresponding images acquired in diastole and systole, Syngo Native Space-Siemens healthcare) to identify peripheral artery disease (PAD).

Materials And Methods: Thirty patients (619 arterial segments in total) suspected with PAD and who were assessed with lower extremity MDCT angiography were examined starting from the level of aortic bifurcation for both lower extremities by 3D native space MR angiography. Two readers assessed the image quality of native space MR angiography and number of lesions, their degrees of stenosis and localizations.

Radiological Findings of Michel Aplasia.

Introduction: Congenital abnormalities of the inner ear is the most common cause of neurosensory hearing loss. Michel inner ear deformity is a rare developmental anomaly refers to the total aplasia of the inner ear. It is caused by developmental arrest of otic placode early during the third week of gestational age.

Unusual case of spinal epidermoid cyst and a concomitant spinal arachnoid cyst.

A 38-year-old woman presented with a 12-month history of subjective weakness and pain in her legs. Thoracolumbar MRI revealed two spinal intradural cystic lesions at T5-6 and T11 levels, respectively. The lesion located at the T5-6 level was heterogeneously hyperintense on T2-weighted images and heterogeneously hypointense on T1-weighted images.

MRI Findings of Talocalcaneal Coalition: Two Case Reports.

Introduction: Tarsal coalition is abnormal fusion of two or more tarsal bones and is a common cause of foot pain. There are osseous, cartilaginous and fibrous subtypes. Calcaneonavicular and talocalcaneal coalitions are more frequent.

Vision Loss and RNFL Thinning after Internal Carotid Arter Occlusion and Middle Cerebral Artery Infarction.

Introduction: Ischaemic, traumatic or neoplasmic damage to the optic chiasm, optic tract or lateral geniculate nucleus affects the retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons, detected as reduced retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness around the optic nerve head. We report a case of vision loss and reduced RNFL thickness after internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion and middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction.

Case Report: A 33-year-old woman with a 3-month history of vision loss in right eye and left hemiplegia.

Relationship between erectile dysfunction and silent coronary artery disease: detection with multidetector computed tomography coronary angiography.

Aim: Our aim was to determine the relationship between erectile dysfunction (ED) and silent coronary artery disease (CAD) by multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) coronary angiography.

Methods: Thirty consecutive men with nonhormonal and nonpsychogenic ED and with no cardiac symptoms were evaluated. Medical history, physical examination and laboratory investigation were performed.
