Objective: The CE-3D-FSPGR TiWI sequences were used in patients with classic trigeminal neuralgia,for morphological observation and measurement of the trigeminal nerve root and trigeminal ganglion, to observe and summarize the trigeminal nerve root and trigeminal ganglion MRI morphological features,which would supply more information for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of classic trigeminal neuralgia.Research Methods:31 patients [...]

Objective:To assess the accuracy of a new water-fat separation MR technique which is called volumetric interpolated breath-hold gradient-recalled-echo T2* effect corrected water-fat separation technique (3D GRE MRI) in fat quantification in live by using 1H-MR spectroscopy (1H-MRS) as the reference standard.Materials and methods:Forty subjects were taken conventional MRI examination of liver which including T1WI, T2WI, [...]

Objective Analyze MRI characteristics of bone erosions in hands and wrists of RA patients to evaluate the values of MRI in the diagnosis for rheumatoid arthritis and study the characteristics of erosions in RA.Methods Eighty patients who took hand and wrist MRI examination from January 2009 to May 2010 were selected randomly in this study. [...]

Objective To compare respiratory-triggered (RT) and breath-hold (BH) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in assessing therapeutic effect of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods Institutional review board approved this study, and all informed consent were obtained.24 clinically-diagnosed hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) (mean diameter,6.6cm; range,1.7-13.1cm) of 18 patients (17men,1 woman; mean age, 53.5 years; range,35-74 years) from August 2010 [...]

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (‘H-MRS) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in diagnosing idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD) based on the conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Material and Methods:27 PD patients were selected as study group and 27 normal ones which matched to PD patients in terms of age, sex and extent [...]

Objective: To study the effet of Chinese medicine and massage therapy on nuchal muscles of cervical spondylosis patients.Materials and Methods:Retrospectively analyze the MRI images of 140 patients with cervical spondylosis, treated by Chinese medicine and massage and get a satisfactory curative effect. The experimental group is make up of 75 patients who receive MRI examination [...]

Part one: Correlative factor and MRI value of meniscus injuryThe knee joint is a rather complex joint and easy to be injured in variours conditions. As a unigue location and burden structure of the knee, meniscus was frequently injured. It’s very important to make correct diagnosis for meniscus because the patient suffered instability, pain, swelling [...]

Objective:To evaluate the value of MRI in diagnosis of the instable anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and explore the role of the mainly indirect signs.Methods:Seventy-eight patients(eight-four cases of ACL) who met the inclusion criteria were subjected to routine MRI and arthroscopy. All of ACLs were diagnosed on MRI. In comparison with arthroscopy as the gold standard, [...]

Objective To detect lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) and fibrinogen (FIB) levels in the different types of cerebral infarction, Lp(a) and FIB are compared between the various types of cerebral infarction. The relation between Lp(a)、FIB levels and different types of cerebral infarction is preliminary studied,These new ideas are provided for different types of cerebral infarction patients.Methods 121 [...]

Objective:This study attemptes to analysis the mild cognitive impairment and imagelolgy of mild Cognitive impairment and Alzheimer disease.The application of MRI imaging techniques explores the relations of insulin degrading enzyme activity, amyloid protein and the degree of cognitive impairment with the MRI characteristics of volume change of hippocampus and mamillary body in cognitive impairment of [...]
