Application of Virtual Navigation with Multimodality Image Fusion in Foramen Ovale Cannulation.

Objective: Idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia (ITN) can be effectively treated with radiofrequency thermocoagulation. However, this procedure requires cannulation of the foramen ovale, and conventional cannulation methods are associated with high failure rates. Multimodality imaging can improve the accuracy of cannulation because each imaging method can compensate for the drawbacks of the other.

Application of FLASH-3D dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging for diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma.

Objective: To investigate the application and value of fast low-angle shot three-dimensional (FLASH-3D) dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI for the pre-operative staging of endometrial carcinoma.

Methods: This prospective study enrolled 48 patients with complete clinical data and pathologically confirmed endometrial carcinoma from July 2012 to March 2014. After routine MRI examination, subjects underwent FLASH-3D dynamic contrast-enhanced examination.

Diagnosis performance of positron emission tomography-computed tomography among cervical cancer patients.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the value of PET/CT scanning in preoperative diagnosis of cervical carcinoma, especially for detecting lymph node metastasis.

Materials And Methods: The approval of the ethics committee which was granted by our hospital was obtained beforehand. Patients with CC were collected into this investigation between January 2011 and October 2015.

The diagnostic value of multimodality MRI in endometrial carcinoma staging.

Background Multimodality magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imaging technology that is used to integrate the structural and functional information of lesions. MRI can determine the staging of endometrial carcinoma, provide guidance for selection of surgical treatment and postoperative prognostic assessment, and has an important role in improving the survival of patients with endometrial carcinoma. Purpose To evaluate multimodality MRI staging accuracy for endometrial carcinoma based on the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO 2009) staging system.

[Value of magnetic resonance imaging in preoperative staging of endometrial carcinoma according to International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (2009) staging criteria].

Objective: To analyze the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of endometrial carcinoma and their value in endometrial carcinoma staging according to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO 2009) staging criteria.

Methods: Fifty-four patients with pathologically confirmed endometrial carcinoma and complete clinical data underwent preoperative MRI examination. According to FIGO 2009 staging criteria of endometrial carcinoma, the MRI features of the tumor lesions were evaluated for assessment of myometrial invasion and cervical involvement and preoperative staging.

[Diagnostic value of MRI in testicular tumor].

Objective: To study the MRI manifestation of testicular tumor and the value of MRI in the diagnosis of the disease.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 23 cases of pathologically confirmed testicular tumor, and observed the morphological characteristics, signals and surrounding conditions of the tumor using plain and enhanced MRI scanning.

Results: Of the 23 cases, seminoma was identified in 7, mixed germinoma in 3, teratoma in 3, endodermal sinus tumor in 2, epidermoid in 1, Leydig cell tumor in 1, leucoma in 1, nonspecific inflammatory mass in 3, and tuberculosis in 2.
