Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of two MRI techniques, 3D-SPACE FLAIR and 3D-TSE FLAIR, in detecting Menière's disease (MD) by focusing on endolymphatic hydrops (EH) visualization and perilymphatic enhancement (PE).
- The research involved analyzing MR images from 29 patients with definite MD, assessing both qualitative (EH grading and PE comparison) and quantitative (PE ratio calculation) aspects.
- Results showed that 3D-SPACE FLAIR had greater sensitivity (91%) and diagnostic accuracy for detecting EH and PE than 3D-TSE FLAIR, indicating it may be a better tool for diagnosing MD.
A right atrial mass was discovered with transthoracic cardiac ultrasound in a complaint-free, 81-year-old man at his yearly cardiological checkup. Further investigation of the mass with transesophageal cardiac ultrasound showed a well-defined nodular mass of approximately 3 × 3 cm, in close proximity to the posterior wall of the right atrium. The patient underwent an F-FDG PET/CT, which showed a right atrial mass with very high FDG uptake, suggesting a malignant process.
