Improved lumped analysis of Graetz problems with axial diffusion

64-year-old man with recently diagnosed prostate carcinoma and elevated alkaline phosphatase level; abdominal pelvic MRI was requested to screen for metastases in this patient with a severe allergy to iodinated CT contrast Axial diffusion-weighted images (b=800 s/mm2) (Figure 14.26.1) reveal multiple small hyperintense lesions involving lower thoracic and lumbar vertebral bodies, bilateral ribs, and the left iliac bone. Anterior and posterior views from bone scintigraphy (...

History Of

46-year-old woman with history of appendiceal goblet cell carcinoid, resected 3 years previously, who underwent MRI to assess for hepatic metastases Axial fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted images (Figure 11.18.1) and sagittal fat-suppressed 2D SSFP image (Figure 11.18.2) reveal a large, mildly heterogeneous mass in the central pelvis superior to the uterus with diffusely high signal intensity and a few scattered cystic components. Axial diffusion-weighted image (b=800 s/mm...

History Of

70-year-old woman with a history of ovarian carcinoma Coronal SSFSE images (Figure 11.15.1) demonstrate a large, predominantly solid right adnexal mass, with a simple-appearing cystic lesion in the left ovary. Note the abdominal pelvic ascites and small solid nodules between the diaphragm and liver, as well as confluent omental masses below the transverse colon on the most anterior image.

61-year-old woman with a known syndrome Coronal SSFSE (Figure 4.17.1) and axial diffusion-weighted images (b=600 s/mm2) (Figure 4.17.2) demonstrate marked rugal fold thickening in the fundus and body of the stomach. A heterogeneous hypoenhancing mass at the neck of the pancreas is seen on arterial phase postgadolinium 3D SPGR images (...
