...Paavo Paajanen; Tiina-Talvikki Lehtimäki; Anne Fagerström; Hannu Paajanen Introduction: About half of the adult patients suffering from chronic abdominal pain may have no organ-related cause. Our purpose was to evaluate the additional information of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing...

... through endoscopic ultrasonography were excluded due to a potential confounding bias. Conversely, patients with a pancreatic cyst with a progressive reduction in size during follow-up were included in the study population. All patients underwent at least 2 magnetic resonance imaging...

...) and/or patient prognosis. Methods: Magnetic resonance images were acquired to construct the diffusion-weighted images, and the ADC values were calculated before CRT in 80 patients with ESCC. A high-ADC group responded better to CRT than did a low-ADC group (p < 0.01). We divided the 80 patients into two...

... chemotherapy (NAC). Methods: A total of 79 lesions in 15 patients with CRLM were included. Following NAC, all patients received multislice liver CT (MSCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that were scored by two observers for lesion number, type, diameter (mm) and segmental location. Intraoperative...

Focal nodular hyperplasia Magnetic resonance imaging Ultrasound Spiral computed tomography Radionuclide imaging Due to the increased use of abdominal imaging, benign liver tumors are detected as an incidental finding more frequently. Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) and hepatocellular adenoma...

... in the period January 2000 to December 2006. Results: All patients (mean age 31.8 years, range 25–43 years) underwent emergency surgery resulting in a diverting colostomy before referral to our hospital. The principal diagnostic tool used was magnetic resonance imaging which demonstrated in all patients...

... difficulties because of their size and special radiologic features. A classical radiologic work-up (sonography, CT scan, angiography) first led to an erroneous diagnosis of a malignant liver tumor. There was then magnetic resonance imaging with application of the new liver magnetic resonance contrast agent...
