[MRI and prostatic cancer: measurements of kinetic perfusion parameters of gadolinium with a computerized-aided diagnostic tool (CAD)].

Objectives: To assess with a CAD in the peripheral (ZP) and transitional (ZT) zones the areas with modifications of the kinetic parameter Kep (ratio of exchanges between vascular compartment and extravascular extracellular spaces) in prostatic cancers with DCE MRI before radical prostatectomy.

Methods: Forty-two consecutive patients (mean age 67 years, mean PSA: 8.9 ng/ml) with a prostatic cancer proved after a set of 12 biopsies underwent, before radical prostatectomy, a dynamic MRI (1.

[Power Doppler Imaging and prostate cancer: optional or necessary technique?].

Purpose: To evaluate the value of power Doppler sonography (PDS) in patients with a serum PSA level greater than 3.5 ng/ml and note the advantages of PDS in management of biopsy cores and staging in prostate cancer.

Material And Methods: A group of 579 patients with a serum PSA level greater than 3.

[Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord].

Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord is rare. It usually presents as a painless slowly-growing scrotal mass of consistency like lipoma. Inguinal orchiectomy is an adequate surgical approach.

Value of power doppler and 3D vascular sonography as a method for diagnosis and staging of prostate cancer.

Objectives: To compare the value of Power Doppler Sonography (PDS) and B mode sonography in the diagnosis of prostate cancer and to assess the value of PDS to specify capsular effraction of the cancer.

Patients And Methods: 323 patients were investigated: 41 control subjects allowed the establishment of normal vascular semiology and 282 patients with suspected cancer (PSA >4ng/ml). Power Doppler Sonography with 3D reconstruction was used to describe Power Doppler Sonography features of normal or abnormal vessels.

[Association between neurologic involvement and lower urinary tract dysfunction and their symptoms in patients with multiple sclerosis].

Objective: To establish an association between different types and degrees of neurological involvement and lower urinary tract dysfunctions and their symptoms in patients with multiple sclerosis.

Patients And Methods: The studied group comprises 84 patients with multiple sclerosis with an average of 42.1 years in whom neurological and urological functional involvement had been evaluated.
