Diagnostic value of 18F-FDG-PET/CT for the follow-up and restaging of soft tissue sarcomas in adults.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical utility of 2-[18F] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) (18F-FDG-PET/CT) in the follow-up of adult patients with soft tissue sarcomas. ⋯ 18F-FDG-PET/CT has a high diagnostic value in the follow-up of patients with soft tissue sarcoma.

Comparative StudyDiagnosis of intracranial calcification and hemorrhage in pediatric patients: Comparison of quantitative susceptibility mapping and phase images of susceptibility-weighted imaging.
To prospectively compare the diagnostic capabilities of quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) with those of phase images of susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) in the detection and differentiation of intracranial calcification and hemorrhage in pediatric patients. ⋯ QSM is more reliable than SWI phase images in the identification of intracranial calcification and hemorrhage in pediatric patients using MR imaging.

Endolymphatic hydrops imaging: Differential diagnosis in patients with Meniere disease symptoms.
The goal of this retrospective study was to investigate the differential diagnosis of endolymphatic hydrops in patients with Meniere's disease (MD) symptoms by using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with intravenous injection of gadolinium chelate and delayed acquisition. ⋯ MRI may reveal brain lesions, SCC abnormalities and perilymphatic fistulae in patients with clinical MD.
