[A Case Report of Surgical Resection of a Supraseller Granuloma in a Patient with Erdheim-Chester Disease].

Erdheim-Chester disease(E-CD)is a rare pathology characterized by systematic granulomatosis that occasionally involves the central nervous system. We report about a 68-year-old woman with E-CD who presented with right-side visual disturbance. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a suprasellar tumor that elevated the right optic nerve and involved the right internal carotid and right anterior choroidal arteries.

Feasibility of magnetic resonance elastography for the pancreas at 3T.

Purpose: 1) To assess the usefulness of an elastic belt bracing the upper abdomen for reducing the miscalculated areas of the pancreas on 3.0T magnetic resonance elastography (MRE); 2) to test whether MRE can detect difference of stiffness between normal pancreas and the focal pancreatic diseases.

Materials And Methods: Using an initial eight normal volunteers, miscalculated areas were compared between MRE with the elastic belt and without the belt on 3.

Twenty-degree-tilt radiography for evaluation of lateral humeral condylar fracture in children.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of '20 degrees -tilt anteroposterior (A-P) radiography' in the assessment of lateral condylar fractures of the distal humerus.

Materials And Methods: Eighteen children with lateral humeral condylar fractures were studied. Every child underwent conventional A-P and lateral radiography, and six children underwent multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT).
