[LEOPARD syndrome].

LEOPARD syndrome with multiple lentigines (cardiomyopathic lentiginosis) is a rare, genetically predetermined disease with autosomal dominant inheritance. Prevalence of this syndrome is unknown. One of pathognomonic clinical manifestations of this syndrome is the presence of multiple lentiginous pigment spots all over the body.

Magnetic resonance imaging of the heart in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis.

Heart sarcoidosis diagnosis presents great difficulties due to the absence of specific clinical manifestations. Most often, the diagnosis is established during autopsy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the heart with contrast enhancement is one of the most informative methods of intravital diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis.

[Comprehensive magnetic resonance imaging for breast cancer].

Aim: To enhance the efficiency of diagnosis of breast tumors by comprehensive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) involving dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance mammography (MRM) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS).

Subjects And Methods: Eighty-seven women aged 32 to 75 years with breast neoplasms were examined. MRM was performed on a Philips Achieva 3.

[Mammographic screening with the assessment of risk factors and incidence of BRCA-associated breast cancer in the Republic of India].

The leading risk factors of breast cancer (BC) were found to affect the efficiency of mammographic screening. The BC screening covered 26 912 women in 2001-2010. Its risk factors were identified using a questionnaire survey.

[Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the diagnosis of breast cancer].

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is used in mammalogy to specify the data obtained by traditional radiodiagnostic techniques and provides a possibility of estimating the molecular composition of pathologically altered breast tissues. This information is employed for the differential diagnosis of malignant and benign neoplasms, as well as for monitoring and predicting the efficiency of chemotherapy for breast cancer. Some technical problems and the lack of a standardized approach to the procedure of a study and interpretation of its results hinder the wide introduction of spectroscopy into clinical practice.
