This article focuses on MR enterography in the evaluation of small bowel diseases, including the protocol, enteric contrast agents, imaging timing and sequence selection. It is becoming the first-line radiological…
The potential utility of diffusion tensor (DT) imaging in clinical practice is broad, and new applications continue to evolve as technology advances. Clinical applications of DT imaging and tractography include…
Modern MR imaging evaluation of the liver allows for a comprehensive morphologic and functional assessment of the liver parenchyma, hepatic vessels, and biliary tree, thus aiding in the diagnosis of…
More imaging centers are incorporating diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) into the clinical breast magnetic resonance (MR) examination, with the potential of increasing the specificity of breast MR imaging. This article reviews…
As in the brain, the sensitivity of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) to ischemic damage in the spinal cord may provide early identification of infarction. Diffusion anisotropy may enhance the detection and…
Functional magnetic resonance (fMR) imaging for neurosurgical planning has become the standard of care in centers where it is available. Although paradigms to measure eloquent cortices are not yet standardized,…
Although conventional contrast-enhanced MR imaging remains the standard-of-care imaging method in the posttreatment evaluation of gliomas, recent developments in therapeutic options such as chemoradiation and antiangiogenic agents have caused the…
This article focuses on advanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques and how they can be used to help diagnose a specific tumor, suggest tumor grade and prognosis, follow tumor progression,…
In vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) of the breast can be used to measure the level of choline-containing compounds, which is a biomarker of malignancy. In the diagnostic setting, MRS can…
Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (DWI) has shown promise for improving the positive predictive value of breast MR imaging for detection of breast cancer, evaluating tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy,…
