Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the role of diffusion tensor imaging of microstructural changes in gray and white matter in Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I. Patient and Methods A prospective study was conducted on 10 patients with Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I and 10 age- and sex-matched children who underwent diffusion tensor imaging of the brain. Mean diffusivity (MD) and fractional anisotropy (FA) of gray and white matter were measured. Results There was a significantly higher...

Silicone oil is used as an intravitreal injection to treat retinal detachment. This material can spread into the subarachnoid space, where it may be mistaken for acute hemorrhage on single-energy computed tomography. This report describes the appearance of intravitreal silicone oil on dual-energy computed tomography, emphasizing unique virtual monoenergetic imaging characteristics that allow for confident differentiation of silicone oil from hemorrhage as well as from other potential single-energy...

Objective Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an excellent modality for pelvic imaging. The anatomy of uterine cavity and vagina is optimally evaluated when the walls, which may spontaneously be collapsed, are distended. Distension of these cavities during pelvic MRI for evaluation of gynecologic diseases has been conducted with vagina, filled with ultrasound gel or saline solution. In this meta-analysis, we aim to assess the effectiveness of vaginal contrast media in MRI for improving the detection...
