Assessment of unrecognized myocardial infarction using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in patients with endstage renal disease.

Objective: To assess the frequency of unrecognized myocardial infarction and identify additional ischemic conditions, as well as to evaluate the efficacy of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) in risk groups, comparing the imaging findings with electro-cardiographic (ECG) and laboratory data in patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease, also known as end-stage renal disease.

Materials And Methods: This was a prospective single-center study involving 20 patients who were referred to our radiology department to undergo CMRI between June 2010 and December 2011. Resting left ventricular functions and (early and late) myocardial contrast enhancement were assessed in all patients.

The clinical and radiological importance of extraarticular contrast material leakage into adjacent synovial compartments on ankle MR arthrography in patients with OCD and anterolateral impingement.

Purpose: To evaluate the tibiotalar joint capacity and the localisation, frequency and amount of extravasation in patients with extraarticular contrast material leakage into adjacent synovial compartments on ankle magnetic resonance (MR) arthrography.

Materials And Methods: Sites of extravasation were determined in the ankle MR arthrograms of 69 patients. Thirty-four patients without extraarticular contrast material leakage into locations unrelated to the injection path were included as a control group.

Diffusion tensor imaging of the hippocampus in chronic cigarette smokers.

Purpose: Previous studies have demonstrated neuronal dis-integrity in chronic smokers using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). However, assessment of hippocampal DTI has not been performed in this group. The purpose of this study was to investigate the hippocampal integrity in chronic smokers and non-smokers and to compare this to memory performance.

Age and gender related prevalence of intracranial calcifications in CT imaging; data from 12,000 healthy subjects.

Purpose: Location and extent of intracranial calcifications have been detected accurately with the use of CT technology and since, many clinical or pathological entities have been linked to these calcifications. Our purpose is to provide data regarding the prevalence of calcifications in various locations in brain.

Material And Methods: We retrospectively examined 11,941 subjects who underwent non-contrast enhanced brain CT examination.

Leptomeningeal Dissemination of Intraventricular Rhabdoid Meningioma: Imaging Findings.

A 20-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with a 1-year history of headache. The patient's systemic-neurological examination and laboratory findings were normal. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were performed.

How can we reduce the pain associated with FNA biopsy? Comparison of parallel and perpendicular method.

Purpose: To assess the tolerability of two different biopsy methods for thyroid nodules in a patient with nodular thyroid disease (NTD).

Materials And Methods: The study included 58 consecutive patients who had NTD from June 2014 to October 2015. Each patient had, at least, two thyroid nodules were located in two lobes.

Evaluation of hepatic arterial anatomy by multidetector computed tomographic angiography in living donor liver transplantation.

The aim of this study was to define the different courses and percentages of hepatic artery that were detected during preoperative evaluation of living liver donors by multidetector computed tomographic angiography (MDCTA). We evaluated 150 donors before hepatic transplantation. All of the donors were evaluated by multislice CT scan with 256 detectors.

Vici syndrome in siblings born to consanguineous parents.

Vici syndrome (OMIM 242840) is a rare syndrome and since its initial description by Vici et al. [1988], only 29 cases have been reported. We describe two brothers from healthy consanguineous Turkish parents with psychomotor delay, congenital bilateral cataracts, high palate, long philtrum, micrognathia, fair hair, and skin.
