123. Indications for body MRI: Part I. Upper abdomen and renal imaging

Author

Dujardin, M., Vandenbroucke, F., Boulet, C., Op de Beeck, B., and de Mey, J.

Subjects
*IONIZING radiation, *MAGNETIC resonance imaging, *GADOLINIUM, *DIAGNOSIS
Abstract

Abstract: The lack of ionizing radiation use in MRI makes the high spatial resolution technique very appealing. Also, the easy access to multiplanar imaging and the fact that gadolinium-DTPA is well tolerated and not nephrotoxic makes MRI a robust alternative in the healthy as well as the renal compromised patient. Furthermore, MRI adds advanced possibility for tissue characterization and pathology detection and dynamic imaging can be performed. Specific contrast agents specific to the hepatobiliary or the reticuloendothelial system can help with additional information in problem cases. The role of MRI for different organs is discussed and a review of the literature is given. We concluded that MRI is considered a useful and non-invasive diagnostic tool for the detection of hepatic iron concentration, to correct misdiagnosis (pseudolesions) from US and CT in focal steatosis and to help with focal lesion detection and characterization, in the healthy and especially in the cirrhotic liver, where MRI is superior to CT. Moreover, MRCP is excellent for identifying the presence and the level of biliary obstruction in malignant invasion and is considered in the literature as a non-invasive screening tool for common bile duct stones, appropriately selecting candidates for preoperative ERCP and sparing others the need for an endoscopic procedure with its associated complications. MRI is the first choice modality for adrenal evaluation in contemporary medical imaging. It is a useful examination in renal as well as splenic pathology and best assesses loco-regional staging, i.e. arterial involvement in pancreatic cancer. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

124. Indications for body MRI: Part II: Retroperitoneum, intestines and pelvis

Author

Vandenbroucke, F., Dujardin, M., Ilsen, B., Craggs, B., Op de Beeck, B., and de Mey, J.

Subjects
*MAGNETIC resonance imaging, *RETROPERITONEUM, *INTESTINES, *PELVIS
Abstract

Abstract: In this article an overview is given of the present knowledge of whole body MRI, MRI of the retroperitoneum, intestines and pelvis. Recommendations are based on current literature and clinical applications in daily routine focusing on efficacy rather than cost considerations. The contribution and complementary role of MRI relative to those of its competing modalities was the most important endpoint assessed. Perfusion and functional information, as well as specific contrast agents in the area of the pelvis are still considered research indications. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

125. A rare presentation of histologically proven sarcoidosis of the knee: A case report and brief review of the literature

Author

Deschuyteneer, Evan, Rongé, R., Riffi, A., De Pierre, K., Vandenbroucke, F., Boulet, C., Goossens, A., and Vincken, W.

Abstract

We here report a patient with histologically proven sarcoidosis of the knee, a rare localization of sarcoidosis, which usually presents itself as a pulmonary disease. Case reports of radiological images that suggest osseous sarcoidosis of the appendicular skeleton are not so rare, however few are histologically proven. Since in our patient MRI could not distinguish between sarcoidosis and another (possibly malignant) disease, histological proof was obtained through a CT-guided biopsy. Imaging and treatment guidelines for extrapulmonary sarcoidosis are inexistent, due to lack of randomized trials.
