Whole-Body MRI Screening in Asymptomatic Subjects; Preliminary Experience and Long-Term Follow-Up Findings.

Background: The aim of this study is to describe the technique and to evaluate the results of whole-body magnetic resonance imaging in an asymptomatic population.

Material/methods: Between March 2009 and December 2011, 118 consecutive subjects undergoing thorough medical check-up were prospectively included in the study. MRI was performed with a 205-cm moving table, parallel imaging and automatic image composing software.

Mesothelial derived adenomatoid tumour in a location devoid of mesothelium: adrenal adenomatoid tumour.

This is a case report of a 40-year-old man with an adrenal mass that was found incidentally on routine check-up examination. MRI showed a 30 × 51 × 57 mm cystic-semisolid heterogeneous mass; hormonal functions were within normal limits. Operative removal was planned because of the large size of the mass.

Contrast-enhanced 3D MR voiding urethrography: preliminary results.

Contrast-enhanced 3D MR voiding urethrography (CE 3D MRVU) was performed on 5 healthy volunteers and 18 patients with urethral disease. After intravenous injection of 0.3 ml/kg gadolinium, the images of the three consecutive acquisitions of the 3D MRVU technique were obtained during voiding.
