Further evaluation of transient elastography to assess LSM is required in prospective studies to potentially increase the sensitivity and establish its clinical utility.

The purpose of this study was to explore the value of high-detail MR imaging in the diagnosis of the Chiari II malformation.

The appearance of testicular prostheses on magnetic resonance (MR) images was studied in six patients with seven silicone implants: two with a fluid consistency and five that were solid. On T1-weighted images, both types of prosthesis demonstrated homogeneous low signal intensity; on T2-weighted images, the fluid implants had a uniformly low signal intensity, and the solid implants had a uniformly high signal intensity. Both prostheses created a chemical shift artifact on all imaging sequences owing to the difference in chemical composition of the prostheses and the surrounding tissue.
