[Bladder leiomyoma. Diagnostic and therapeutic approach].

The authors report their experience of four cases of bladder leiomyoma. Although MRI is currently the reference radiological examination, the diagnosis must be confirmed by histological examination. The various diagnostic steps and resulting therapeutic indications are described with a review of the literature.

Cine-MR Fourier phase imaging for quantification of regional wall asynergy in patients with anterior myocardial infarction.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether Fourier analysis of cine-MR could detect wall motion abnormalities in patients with myocardial infarction.

Methods: Ten patients with anterior myocardial infarction (seven men and three women; mean age, 58 +/- 16 years) were compared with six control subjects (four men and two women; mean age, 49 +/- 24 years). Gradient echo cardiac cine-MR slices were transformed using a commercially available Fourier algorithm to obtain phase angles of endocardial segments.
