A case of prenatal diagnosis of the corpus callosum lipoma at 32–33 weeks of gestation is presented. In a consultative examination, a hyperechoic formation with clear contours was found in the projection of the septum pellucidum, occupying the rostrum, genu, and truncus of corpus callosum, without signs of intratumorally blood flow in the color Doppler mapping mode. The prenatal diagnosis of "callosum lipoma" was established, confirmed after the birth of a child during magnetic resonance imaging.

Objectives: We analyzed the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) manifestations of fetal corpus callosum abnormalities and discussed their prognosis based on the results of postnatal follow up. Methods: One hundred fifty-five fetuses were diagnosed with corpus callosum abnormalities by MRI at our hospital from 2004 to 2019. Gesell Development Scales were used to evaluate the prognosis of corpus callosum abnormalities after birth. Results: Corpus callosum abnormalities were diagnosed in 149 fetuses from singleton pregnancies, and 6 pairs of twins, 1 in each pair is a corpus callosum abnormality. Twenty-seven cases (27/155) were lost to follow up, whereas 128 cases (128/155) were followed up. Of these, 101 cases were induced for labor, whereas 27 cases were born naturally. Among the 27 cases of corpus callosum abnormality after birth, 22 cases were from singleton pregnancies (22/27). Moreover, 1 twin from each of 5 pairs of twins (5/27) demonstrated corpus callosum abnormalities. The average Gesell Development Scale score was 87.1 in 19 cases of agenesis of the corpus callosum and 74.9 in 3 cases of hypoplasia of the corpus callosum. Among the 5 affected twins, 2 had severe neurodevelopmental delay, 2 had mild neurodevelopmental delay, and 1 was premature and died. Conclusion: The overall prognosis of agenesis of the corpus callosum is good in singleton pregnancies. Hypoplasia of the corpus callosum is often observed with other abnormalities, and the development quotient of hypoplasia of the corpus callosum is lower compared with agenesis of the corpus callosum. Corpus callosum abnormalities may occur in one twin, in whom the risk may be increased.

Multi-parameter magnetic resonance imaging has been widely used in the diagnosis and evaluation of prostate cancer, and has important guiding significance for clinical diagnosis of prostate cancer and their treatment. This article studies the value of transrectal multiparametric ultrasound (mpUSS) in the diagnosis of clinically meaningful prostate cancer. 102 patients with high risk factors for prostate cancer were examined by mpUSS and mpMRI. The transrectal biopsy (SB) results of the prostate system were regarded as the excellent standard, and the diagnostic value of mpUSS, mpMRl and mpUSS combined with mpMRl examination for clinically meaningful prostate cancer was analyzed. The results showed that 58 of the 102 patients with SB were diagnosed with prostate cancer. Among them, 43 cases were detected by mpUSS, 50 cases were detected by mpMRl, 42 cases were detected by mpUSS combined with mpMRI (series), and 56 cases were detected by mpUSS combined with mpMRl (parallel). Grouped by Gleason score, the detection rate of mpUSS for clinically significant prostate cancer was 83.74%, and the detection rate of mpMRl was 93.5%. The comparison between the two was not statistically significant (P > 0.05), but when the two inspection methods were combined. The detection rate was 97.8%, which was significantly higher than the two inspection methods alone. Therefore, we conclude that mpUSS can be used as an imaging test for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. In addition, mpUSS has a high application value in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. The detection rate of mpUSS combined with mpMRl examination for clinically meaningful prostate cancer is significantly higher than that of mpMRl examination alone, which can be used as a diagnostic technique for early diagnosis of meaningful prostate cancer and can be used as a guide clinicians’ early diagnosis and treatment of meaningful prostate cancer.

Introduction: We aimed to introduce the diagnostic value of diffusion-weighted (DWI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for distinguishing benign and malignant renal cystic masses.Methods: Abdominal DWI-MRIs of patients with Bosniak categories 2F, 3, and 4 cystic renal masses were evaluated retrospectively. Cystic masses were assigned as benign or malignant according to histopathological or followup MRI findings and compared with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values.Results: There were 30 patients (18 males and 12 females, mean age was 59.23 ± 12.08 years [range 38‒83 years]) with cystic renal masses (eight Bosniak category 2F, 12 Bosniak category 3, 10 Bosniak category 4). Among them, 14 cysts were diagnosed as benign and 16 as malignant by followup imaging or histopathological findings. For the malignant lesions, the mean ADC values were lower than for benign lesions (p=0.001). An ADC value of ≤2.28 x10-6 mm2/s or less had a sensitivity of 75% and a specificity of 92.86% for detecting malignancy.Conclusions: ADC can improve the diagnostic performance of MRI in the evaluation of complex renal cysts when used together with conventional MRI sequences.

The purpose of this study was to determine the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) in oral masses of dogs. Nineteen dogs underwent clinical, MR and CT examinations. Eleven malignant and ten non-malignant masses were evaluated. Osteosarcoma was the most commonly found malignant oral mass and gingival hyperplasia was the most commonly found benign mass. The results showed that MRI provided more accurate information regarding the size of the masses and invasion of adjacent structures although MRI and CT show similar accuracy in assessment of bone invasion. Calcification and cortical bone erosion was better seen on CT images. Whereas contrast-MRI provided useful additional information, contrast-CT had no added benefit. In general, oral masses located in the caudal mandible, oropharynx and maxilla are better evaluated using MRI, once the histological type has been verified.
