The thickness of the PVST is important in the detection of underlying injuries to the cervical spine. MDCT is playing an increasingly important role in the evaluation of pediatric trauma patients. We propose the obtained values as the upper limits of normal for PVST thickness on MDCT images in the pediatric population from 0 to 15 years old.
Intracranial dermoid cysts are rare tumors derived from ectopic epithelial cells. They are slow-growing benign entities, but can cause significant morbidity through compression of neurovascular structures and, rarely, rupture into the subarachnoid space. We present a rare case of a spontaneously ruptured intracranial dermoid cyst presenting as new onset seizures due to chemical meningitis caused by dissemination of fat droplets.
In the abdominopelvic organs, sequentially obtained PET/MRI data have significantly higher misregistration than both PET/CT data and simultaneously acquired PET/MRI data. Simultaneously obtained PET/MRI data are statistically noninferior to PET/CT. Nonradial T1 VIBE has the highest misregistration, whereas T2 STIR and T2 HASTE non-breath-hold are significantly better than both PET/CT and T1 VIBE.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
