Cervical spondylotic myelopathy: the prediction of outcome following surgical intervention in 93 patients using T1- and T2-weighted MRI scans.
(2015-12)INTRODUCTION: Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) can lead to significant disability through a spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from dexterity loss to more profound weakness, incontinence and paralysis. AIM: ... -
Clinical scaphoid score (CSS) to identify scaphoid fracture with MRI in patients with normal x-ray after a wrist trauma.
(2014-08)INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to compare a combination of three commonly used tests to identify scaphoid fractures with MRI in patients with normal x-ray after a wrist trauma. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This prospective ... -
Costs analysis and comparison of usefulness of acute MRI and 2 weeks of cast immobilization for clinically suspected scaphoid fractures.
(2015-06)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Fractures of the scaphoid are often not detected on initial plain radiographs. Conventional management of clinically suspected scaphoid fractures is cast immobilization for 2 weeks and then reassessment. ... -
Follow up imaging of oral, oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer patients: Comparison of PET-CT and MRI post treatment.
(2020-06)There is currently no consensus as to the ideal timing, frequency and modality of imaging for follow up of head and neck cancer patients. The aim of this study was to analyze the diagnostic accuracy of PET-CT versus MRI, ... -
Imaging the kidney using magnetic resonance techniques: structure to function
(2016-09)PURPOSE OF REVIEW: MRI can noninvasively assess the structure and function of the kidney in a single MRI scan session. This review summarizes recent advancements in functional renal MRI techniques, with a particular focus ... -

(2016-11)PURPOSE OF REVIEW: MRI can noninvasively assess the structure and function of the kidney in a single MRI scan session. This review summarizes recent advancements in functional renal MRI techniques, with a particular focus ... -
Is ultrasound diagnosis reliable in acute extensor tendon injuries of the knee?
(2012-12)Ruptures of the patellar and quadriceps tendon are rare injuries requiring immediate repair to re-establish knee extensor continuity and allow early motion. Ultrasound is extensively used as a diagnostic tool before surgery ... -
MRI findings in herniation of the spinal cord.
(2010)Herniation of the spinal cord is a rare condition that causes non specific neurological deficits that are often a diagnostic challenge to clinicians. Despite several reports in the neurosurgical literature, it is only ... -
MRI in T staging of rectal cancer: How effective is it?
(2012-05)BACKGROUND: Rectal cancer constitutes about one-third of all gastrointestinal (GI) tract tumors. Because of the high recurrence rates (30%) in rectal cancer, it is vitally important to accurately stage these tumours ... -
Neurocysticercosis presenting as a 'Stroke Mimic'.
(2016)A 62 year old Nepalese gentleman presented with left sided weakness and sensory loss. Initial brain CT scanning was suggestive of acute infarction but a subsequent MRI scan showed cysts with oedema. Cysticercosis serology ... -
A new definition of wrist sprain necessary after findings in a prospective MRI study.
(2012-10)INTRODUCTION: Wrist injuries with negative X-rays are diagnosed as acute wrist sprains. The prognosis is usually good, but some patients suffer from long-lasting pain and reduced wrist function, probably due to missed ... -
Non-invasive assessment of Portal Hypertension Using Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
(2016-07)BACKGROUND & AIMS: Hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) measurement is currently the only validated technique to accurately evaluate changes in portal pressure. In this study, we evaluate the use of non-contrast ... -
Patient and public beliefs about the role of imaging in the management of non-specific low back pain: a scoping review.
(2019-08)BACKGROUND OR CONTEXT: Routine imaging for non-specific low back pain is advised against in guidelines yet imaging continues to occur. Patient and public beliefs regarding imaging may be a driving factor contributing to ... -
Patients with CKD have abnormal upper gastro-intestinal tract digestive function: a study of uremic enteropathy.
(2016-05)INTRODUCTION: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects gastrointestinal function and results in numerous adaptive and maladaptive responses. Disruption of the colonic microbiome and its attendant consequences - the loss of ... -
Protocol of a single group prospective observational study on the diagnostic value of 3T susceptibility weighted MRI of nigrosome-1 in patients with parkinsonian symptoms: the N3iPD study (nigrosomal iron imaging in Parkinson's disease).
(2017-12)INTRODUCTION: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common movement disorder in the elderly and is characterised clinically by bradykinesia, tremor and rigidity. Diagnosing Parkinson's can be difficult especially in the ... -
Symptomatic Soft-Tissue Mass in the Intercondylar Notch: A Case Report
(2018-02)Intra-articular soft tissue masses in the knee joint are quite rare and mostly incidental findings on magnetic resonance imaging and/or arthroscopy. However, when they become enlarged, they can cause mechanical ...
