Our objective was to evaluate the role of MRI in staging advanced gastric cancer (AGC; gastric cancer invading the muscularis propria) and to compare it with that of spiral CT. We prospectively performed both MR and CT examinations on 26 patients with AGC proven by endoscopic biopsy. Contrast-...
have had many tests done including: a brain MRI with and without contrast (neg) , a chest CT with contrast (neg), endoscopy (neg), chest xray (neg), ekg (neg), blood clot tests neg., countless blood tests all negative with the exception of a slightly elevated WBC count and lymp...
Only during the last decade, more sophisticated and non-invasive methods, i.e., ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), were established for this purpose. The fasting period prior to the measurement of fasted gastric fluid volumes can significantly impact this parameter, and thus is one...
According to calculations based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements, the maximum pressure experienced by the food particle surfaces is about 30–40 Pa (Lentle and Janssen, 2011; Lentle, 2018b). The stomach wall consists of three layers of smooth muscle; longitudinal, circular, ...
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Dedicated MR imaging of stomach could be useful as an alternative for MDCT for locoregional staging of gastric malignancy. The patient preparation techniques are the same as for the CT and only water distension is used. Breath-hold fast T1W (2D fast gradient)...
CT of the stomach and duodenum. A hypotonic biphasic contrast study proves or excludes ulceration and neoplasm in most instances. As in nonoperated patients, an initial radiologic examina... J Scatarige,D Disantis - 《Radiologic Clinics of North America》 被引量: 0发表: 1989年 ...
MR imaging offers excellent tissue contrast when properly done. Functional modalities, such as PET, can also be a powerful tool in evaluating neoplastic disease of the stomach locally, regionally, and distally. Finally, when properly performed, a directed ultrasound can serve as an adjunct modality...
Small-bowel diverticula are usually diagnosed by enteroscopy (anterograde or retrograde), barium small-bowel series, CT enterography, MRI enterography, or capsule endoscopy. Conservative management is usually recommended for asymptomatic patients. Antibiotics can be prescribed forsmall int...
(MRI) as part of standard workup but rather were evaluated via physical examination under anesthesia at the time of diagnosis and/or seton placement. All patients were prepared for fistula closure with a non-cutting seton left in place for at least 12 weeks. If the patient was experiencing ...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was first reported as a tool to measure gastric emptying in 1992 [53]. The study used a liquid test meal consisting of 500 mL of a 10% glucose solution containing contrast medium and 99mTc-DTPA to compare the MRI data to the detection of the fluid in ...
