To retrospectively evaluate multi–detector row computed tomographic (CT) angiography in determining donor…

Prostate cancer (PC) is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers in men. There are a number of treatment options for PC with a different therapeutic approach between USA and Europe. Radical prostatectomy is one of the most used therapies …

Quantify the whole-body atherosclerotic disease in asymptomatic subjects with and without metabolic syndrome (MetS) and to assess the contribution of the syndrome and its components to the atherosclerotic burden.

The patient is a 40-year old, premenopausal woman of Sardinian origin who was diagnosed with marked elevation of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C ranging 350–450 mg/dL) since the age of 34 years.

Five patients with unifocal, biopsy-proven prostate cancer (PCa) evident on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were treated with magnetic resonance–guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) ablation before radical prostatectomy (RP). An endorectal probe featuring a phased-array focused ultrasound transducer was positioned for …

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging–guided focused ultrasound is an alternative noninvasive method for reducing the pain in skeletal metastases. MR imaging–guided focused ultrasound ablation offers several key advantages over other noninvasive treatment modalities.

The authors performed a preliminary study with blood-pool contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in evaluating the degree of carotid artery stenosis and plaque morphology, comparing the diagnostic performance of first-pass (FP) and steady-state (SS) acquisitions with 64-slice computed tomography angiography …
