Artificial intelligence-based bone-enhanced magnetic resonance image—a computed tomography/magnetic resonance image composite image modality in nasopharyngeal carcinoma radiotherapy

AbstractLesions in the skull base may present difficulties in diagnosis primarily because the access needs to be invasive and one has to rely on imaging that may still be misleading. The case presented here illustrates this example in that the patient had abnormalities on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance image (MRI) scans quite convincing of malignancy but which with time proved, essentially through clinical judgment, to be skull base osteomyelitis secondary to malignant external otitis (OME).

Cns Anomalies

The aim of this study were to describe and to compare structural central nervous system (CNS) anomalies detected by magnetic resonance image (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) in individuals affected by midline facial defects with hypertelorism (MFDH) isolated or associated with multiple congenital anomalies (MCA). The investigation protocol included dysmorphological examination, skull and facial X-rays, brain CT and/or MRI. We studied 24 individuals, 12 of them had an isolated form (Group I) and the others, MCA with unknown etiology (Group II). There was no significative difference between Group I and II and the results are presented in set. In addition to the several CNS anomalies previously described, MRI (n=18) was useful for detection of neuronal migration errors. These data suggested that structural CNS anomalies and MFDH seem to have an intrinsic embryological relationship, which should be taken in account during the clinical follow-up.

Inorganic Constituents

The prostheses available for reconstruction of the ossicular chain have expanded to include a variety of synthetic materials. Hydroxyapatite contains the inorganic constituents found in human living bone and is currently being incorporated into many new prostheses. This study demonstrates the computed tomography and magnetic resonance image characteristics of eight middle ear prostheses, a block of dense hydroxyapatite, and a human incus. Imaging of ossicular prostheses is more informative with computed tomography.
