Cardiac MRI Assessment of Right Ventricular Function in Acquired Heart Disease

Rationale and Objectives To evaluate intra- and inter-observer variability of right ventricular (RV) functional parameters as evaluated by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with...

Atlas of Pulmonary Vascular Imaging

This first edition of Atlas of Pulmonary Vascular Imaging contains a good source of pulmonary vascular anatomy and cases with emphasis on pathophysiology of the pulmonary vascular disease. The book...

Writing a Clinically Appraised Topic Is a Team Sport

Evidence-based practice requires clinicians to understand the current research relevant to clinical decisions. This is a tall order, given both the number of clinical decisions made each day and th...

Utility of Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Ratios in Distinguishing Common Pediatric Cerebellar Tumors

Rationale and Objectives The aim of this study was to identify clinically useful tumor/normal brain apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) ratios for distinguishing common pediatric cerebellar tumor...

Relationship between CT Findings and the Plasma Levels of Brain Natriuretic Peptide in 29 Patients with Acute Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema

Rationale and Objectives Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a useful biomarker for the assessment of cardiogenic pulmonary edema. This study evaluated the relationship between computed tomography ...

Reduced Perfusion in Pulmonary Infiltrates of High-risk Hematologic Patients Is a Possible Discriminator of Pulmonary Angioinvasive Mycosis

Rationale and Objectives The aim of this study was to assess perfusion parameters in atypical pneumonia of heavily immunocompromised hematologic patients suspected of having invasive mycosis using...

Rapid Review for Radiology

The first 2010 edition of rapid review for radiology is an excellent resource for radiology residents in general and final year residents preparing for boards in particular. The book has six secti...

Public Relations for Radiology

One of the ongoing dilemmas of contemporary medical radiology is the public understanding of just how this health care specialty has grown into the general understanding of most Americans who depen...

Proton MR Spectroscopy of Central Neurocytoma Using Short and Long Echo Time

Rationale and Objectives Central neurocytomas (CNCs) are rare benign tumors typically located in the lateral ventricle of the central nervous system. The authors report five patients with CNCs and...

MR Elastography in Renal Transplant Patients and Correlation with Renal Allograft Biopsy

Rationale and Objectives Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) images the propagation of mechanical shear waves in tissue and uses that information to generate quantitative measures of tissue stif...
