Comparative Study[Magnetic resonance imaging of hepatic focal lesions: dynamic contrastographic evaluation with gadolinium versus reticulo-endothelial hepato-specific contrast media].
To compare the potentials of AMI-25 (Endoren) to those of Gadolinium with the dynamic contrast-enhanced technique in the differential diagnosis of focal liver lesions. ⋯ AMI-25 can help also in characterizing primary lesions with an atypical signal pattern after contrast agent administration thanks to its intrinsic capability of accumulating in benign lesions. However it remains difficult to characterize well differentiated hepatocarcinomas and adenomas. Finally, AMI-25 improves MR capabilities in detecting secondary lesions and possible satellite nodules.

Aim of our work was to evaluate the diagnostic role and potentials of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in the study of groin pain in athletes and in the differential diagnosis among the pathological conditions that cause this syndrome. ⋯ In our experience, only MRI can permit an accurate and early diagnosis of the different sport-related pubic conditions. MRI is also a valuable tool in monitoring the alterations with reference to their response to treatment, which may also help bring the athletes back to their activities.
