Current contribution of diffusion tensor imaging in the evaluation of diffuse axonal injury

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 76 (3), 2018
ABSTRACT Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the number one cause of death and morbidity among young adults. Moreover, survivors are frequently left with functional disabilities during the most productive years of their lives. One main aspect of TBI pathology is diffuse axonal injury, which is increasingly r...

PieloRM: una nueva herramienta en el estudio de pielonefritis aguda en pediatría

Rev. chil. radiol; 24 (1), 2018
Para determinar la existencia de compromiso parenquimatoso renal en infección del tracto urinario en niños, la tendencia actual es utilizar métodos de imágenes lo menos invasivos posibles, disminuyendo al máximo la exposición a radiación ionizante. La resonancia magnética ha demostrado utilidad e...

The Presence and Extension of Myocardial Fibrosis in the Undetermined Form of Chagas' Disease: A Study Using Magnetic Resonance

Arq. bras. cardiol; 110 (2), 2018
Abstract Background: Previous data has shown that patients in the indeterminate form of Chagas disease may present myocardial fibrosis as shown on through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, there is little information available regarding the degree of severity of myocardial fibrosis in these ind...

Positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI): An update and initial experience at HC-FMUSP

Summary The new technology of PET/MRI is a prototype of hybrid imaging, allowing for the combination of molecular data from PET scanning and morphofunctional information derived from MRI scanning. Recent advances regarding the technical aspects of this device, especially after the development of MRI-comp...

Clinics; 73 (supl.1), 2018

Clinical perspectives of PSMA PET/MRI for prostate cancer

Clinics; 73 (supl.1), 2018
Prostate cancer imaging has become an important diagnostic modality for tumor evaluation. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) has been extensively studied, and the results are robust and promising. The advent of the PET/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has added m...

Current state of multiparameter magnetic resonance imaging of the prostate

Einstein (Säo Paulo); 16 (2), 2018
ABSTRACT Magnetic resonance imaging of the prostate is an imaging method that has shown increasing relevance in urological practice. Due to technological evolution of scanners and the introduction of functional sequences, it has enabled greater accuracy in detection and characterization of prostate tumor...

Interregional correlations of glucose metabolism between the basal ganglia and different cortical areas: an ultra-high resolution PET/MRI fusion study using 18F-FDG

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (1), 2018
Basal ganglia have complex functional connections with the cerebral cortex and are involved in motor control, executive functions of the forebrain, such as the planning of movement, and cognitive behaviors based on their connections. The aim of this study was to provide detailed functional correlation pa...

Papel da ultrassonografia endoscópica na avaliação da fístula perianal na doença de Crohn

Rev. Col. Bras. Cir; 45 (6), 2018
RESUMO Objetivo: determinar o papel da ultrassonografia endoscópica (UE) em relação à ressonância magnética nuclear (RMN) e ao exame sob anestesia (ESA) no manejo de pacientes com doença de Crohn fistulizante perianal. Métodos: estudo observacional transversal com pacientes com doença de Crohn...

Estratificação de risco na prevenção primária de morte súbita na cardiomiopatia hipertrófica: desenvolvimento de um escore prognóstico
Risk stratification of sudden death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: development of a prognostic score

A cardiomiopatia hipertrófica (CMH) é uma doença genética, caracterizada por hipertrofia ventricular na ausência de condições que levem a sobrecarga sobre o coração. É a principal causa de morte súbita (MS) em adultos jovens, com incidência anual = 1%. Entre os marcadores de risco (MR) destac...
