Our clinical experience in pelvic magnetic resonance imaging with vaginal contrast.

Objectives: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important modality for pelvic imaging. Vaginal distension is provided by the use of vaginal contrast in pelvic MRI, and it plays an important role in staging especially cervical and vaginal cancer. The aim of this study is to show whether the use of vaginal contrast material contributes to the diagnosis in pelvic examination.

MR imaging properties of breast cancer molecular subtypes.

Objective: In this study, we aim at investigating the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features of molecular subtypes, according to the BIRADS Atlas.

Patients And Methods: The preoperative MRI examinations of 104 breast cancer patients were reviewed retrospectively using the 5th Edition Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) Atlas. According to BI-RADS, cases were classified as mass or non-mass enhancement.

Papillary thyroid carcinoma with lung metastasis arising from dyshormonogenetic goiter: a case report.

Prior radiation exposure is the best known risk factor for thyroid cancers, and papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) may arise from dyshormonogenetic goiter. A 17-year-old female patient was admitted to the department of chest diseases with respiratory symptoms. The patient had undergone a thyroid surgery for goiter at the age of 9.

Patients with psoriasis have an increased amount of epicardial fat tissue.

Background: Psoriasis is associated with coronary artery disease, and ischemic heart disease is associated with increased amounts of epicardial fat tissue (EFT). There has as yet been no study published on the accumulation of EFT in patients with psoriasis.

Aim: To compare epicardial fat accumulation and coronary artery calcium score (CACS) in patients with psoriasis and controls.

Evaluation of the postnatal development of the sternum and sternal variations using multidetector CT.

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the postnatal development and the maturation of the sternum and sternal variations using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). Additionally, we aimed to examine the roles of gender and age in sternal development.

Materials And Methods: Two hundred and fifty patients who underwent thorax MDCT examinations were evaluated for sternal development and variations.
