A series of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations of 188 pathologic and normal hip joints has been reviewed to evaluate usefulness of this method for 3-D imaging of this joint. The age of patients ranged from 3 years to 22 years. MRI was done for diagnosis, pre-operative planning or post-operative assessment. Fifty-four hips were normal. Normal hip, dysplastic and the one after septic arthritis have been delineated. All MRI examinations were done with Magnetic Impact. Spin Echo, Turbo Spin Echo and FLASH 3D FAT SAT techniques were employed, all three planes included. All hip joint elements were separately described, the difference between the immature and adult hip were presented. Objective parameters were introduced. MRI proved extremely useful for diagnostics, surgery planning and follow-up of immature hip joint.

Background: The neuroanatomical basis of white matter fiber tracts in gait impairments in individuals suffering from Parkinson's Disease (PD) is unclear.
Methods: Twenty-four individuals living with PD and 29 Healthy Controls (HCs) were included. For each participant, two-shell High Angular Resolution Diffusion Imaging (HARDI) and high-resolution 3D structural images were acquired using the 3T MRI.

Background: The liver, as the main target organ for hematogenous metastasis of colorectal cancer, early and accurate prediction of liver metastasis is crucial for the diagnosis and treatment of patients. Herein, this study aims to investigate the application value of a combined machine learning (ML) based model based on the multiparameter magnetic resonance imaging for prediction of rectal metachronous liver metastasis (MLM).
Aim: To investigate the efficacy of radiomics based on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging images of preoperative first diagnosed rectal cancer in predicting MLM from rectal cancer.

Background: Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide, with a poor prognosis often attributed to late diagnosis. Understanding the correlation between pathological type and imaging features is crucial for early detection and appropriate treatment planning.
Aim: To retrospectively analyze the relationship between different pathological types of pancreatic cancer and their corresponding imaging features.

Determining the differential diagnosis of small scalp cysts identified on a fetus is difficult. In particular, many physicians have difficulty differentiating small meningoceles from small scalp cysts during the prenatal period. Volume contrast imaging increases contrast between tissues, thereby allowing an enhanced view of target structures.

Aim: To investigate the predictive value of lesion length in multiparametric prostate magnetic resonance imaging with respect to prostate volume for clinically significant prostate cancer diagnosis in targeted biopsies.
Materials And Methods: The data of biopsy-naïve patients in the Turkish Urooncology Association Prostate Cancer Database who underwent targeted prostate biopsies were included in this study. Lesion density is calculated as the ratio of lesion length (mm) in MR to prostate volume (cc).
