BACKGROUND: MR elastography is a new imaging tool capable of non-invasively assessing the viscoelastic properties of tissues. The clinical application of MR elastography in the diagnosis of prostate cancer remains to be elucidated.

PURPOSE: To investigate the feasibility of MR elastography in the diagnosis of prostate cancer at 3.0T, and to assess the elasticity and viscosity of prostate cancer and benign prostatic disease.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: Eight patients (63 ± 7.25 years old) with ...

PURPOSE: The purpose of this work was to determine the association of renal agenesis with the different types of mullerian duct anomalies (MDAs).

METHOD: A 5 year retrospective review of MR records identified 57 patients with MDAs. Associated renal anomalies were correlated with the various types of MDAs.

RESULTS: Renal agenesis was found in 17 (29.8%) of 57 patients. No other renal anomalies were identified. Renal agenesis was more frequent in patients with uterus didelphys (13/16 ...

BackgroundBecause of the limitation of technique, there are few researches on regulating function of central hypothalamus by metabolism, especially the researches on real-time function.ObjectiveTo evaluate the response of hypothalamus to oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in different body-weighted subjects by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) so as to investigate the relationship between the sensitivity of hypothalamus in glycoregulation and disturbance of carbohydrate ...
