Solitary Metastasis Mimicking Glioblastoma in a Patient with Fahr's Disease.

Fahr's disease is defined as the accumulation of bilateral idiopathic calcification in the basal ganglia, dentate nucleus, and centrum semiovale. The coexistence of Fahr's disease and intracranial tumors is extremely rare, with only five cases documented in the literature. This study aimed to present a rare case, discussing both similarities and differences with previously reported cases.

Evaluation of parenchymal collaterals in patients with meningioma using contrast-enhanced T1 MPRAGE sequence.

Background: Post-contrast T1-MPRAGE sequence has been used in routine tumor imaging at many centers for decades. Meningiomas may be accompanied by leptomeningeal as well as parenchymal collaterals. In this study, we aimed to demonstrate the collaterals that may accompany meningiomas on postcontrast T1-MPRAGE imaging and to investigate their relationship with location, size, histologic features, adjacent bone, and parenchymal changes.

Evaluating artificial intelligence for a focal nodular hyperplasia diagnosis using magnetic resonance imaging: preliminary findings.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of artificial intelligence (AI) in diagnosing focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) of the liver using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and compare its performance with that of radiologists.

Methods: In the first phase of the study, the MRIs of 60 patients (30 patients with FNH and 30 patients with no lesions or lesions other than FNH) were processed using a segmentation program and introduced to an AI model. After the learning process, the MRIs of 42 different patients that the AI model had no experience with were introduced to the system.

Assessment of unrecognized myocardial infarction using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in patients with endstage renal disease.

Objective: To assess the frequency of unrecognized myocardial infarction and identify additional ischemic conditions, as well as to evaluate the efficacy of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) in risk groups, comparing the imaging findings with electro-cardiographic (ECG) and laboratory data in patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease, also known as end-stage renal disease.

Materials And Methods: This was a prospective single-center study involving 20 patients who were referred to our radiology department to undergo CMRI between June 2010 and December 2011. Resting left ventricular functions and (early and late) myocardial contrast enhancement were assessed in all patients.

Rectal ameboma: A new entity in the differential diagnosis of rectal cancer.

We examined the case report written by Ke , describing a rare clinical case. In this editorial, we would like to emphasize the differential diagnosis of rectal masses through a rare case. We describe a case of ameboma, which manifested itself as a mass in the rectum in terms of imaging and rectoscopic features, in an immunocompetent patient who had complaints of constipation and rectal bleeding for weeks.

New imaging techniques and trends in radiology.

Radiography is a field of medicine inherently intertwined with technology. The dependency on technology is very high for obtaining images in ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Although the reduction in radiation dose is not applicable in US and MRI, advancements in technology have made it possible in CT, with ongoing studies aimed at further optimization.

Interobserver and intraobserver reliability of skull base angles measured on magnetic resonance images.

Background: Determination of platybasia and basilar kyphosis are significant parts of routine cranial magnetic resonance (MR) interpretations. These situations may explain a patient's symptoms or may be associated with other anomalies.

Aim: To indicate the interobserver and intraobserver reliability of the skull base angles (SBA) (Koenigsberg standard) and modified SBA (mSBA) measurement techniques.

Characteristics of the imaging diagnosis of alveolar echinococcosis.

Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) primarily manifests in the liver and exhibits characteristics resembling those of slow-growing malignant tumours. Untreated infection can be lethal. By infiltrating the vascular systems, biliary tracts, and the hilum of the liver, it might lead to various problems.

Effectiveness of Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Values in Predicting Pathologic Subtypes and Grade in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer.

Background And Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in predicting pathologic subtypes and grade in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Materials And Methods: From January 2018 to March 2020, 48 surgically diagnosed NSCLC cases were included in this study. To obtain ADC values, ADC maps were constructed, and a region of interest was put on the tumor.

Evaluation of Femoral Head Avascular Necrosis With Virtual Noncalcium Dual-Energy Computed Tomography.

Objective: Our aim was to investigate the effectiveness of the dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) virtual noncalcium (VNCa) technique in avascular necrosis (AVN) for detecting bone marrow edema (BME) and staging.

Methods: This prospective study included adult patients diagnosed with unilateral or bilateral femoral head AVN between January 2023 and December 2023, who had magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and DECT. Two participants were excluded from the study due to undergoing surgical procedures during the period between the scans.

Magnetic resonance arthrography with positional manoeuvre for the diagnosis of synovial fold of posterior shoulder joint capsule.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to prospectively assess the effectiveness of shoulder magnetic resonance (MR) arthrograms with positional manoeuvres in detecting posterior synovial folds.

Methods: Two radiologists independently assessed all axial MR arthrograms in internal rotation, neutral position, and external rotation for the presence of a posterior synovial fold. The diagnostic performances of the MR arthrograms were then compared, with results validated through arthroscopy.
