Myonecrosis induced by drug overdose: pathogenesis, clinical aspects and radiological manifestations.

The authors report five cases of myonecrosis varying in degree of severity and extent of the lesions, following drug overdose in young patients. The pathogenesis of this condition is discussed with reference both to the literature and the radiological findings of the present study. The clinical and radiological manifestations are described and a possible differential diagnosis is suggested, based on these data. Semeiologic data obtained by ultrasound and computerized tomography was found to give the most accurate information concerning the morphological characteristics of myonecrosis while ultrasound can reveal the extent of the involvement in the limbs.

[Echographic diagnosis of cholelithiasis].

Ultrasonography of the gallbladder is a simple diagnostic tool in a clinical situation suggesting the presence of gallstones. The radiologic-surgical survey of our one hundred most recent cases reveals no false-positives and only very few false-negatives. These results are discussed.

Ultrasonic features of mitral annulus calcification. A report of 21 cases.

Twenty-one cases of echocardiographically visible mitral annulus calcification have been reviewed. Seventeen of these were also visible on chest radiographs, the remainder were proved by fluoroscopy. Factors which may lead to diagnostic confusion are: (a) failure to identify the posterior mitral leaflet (7/21); (b) diminished anterior leaflet mobility (mean 15 mm); (c) accoustic shadowing of the left ventricular wall (18/21); (d) pseudosystolic anterior motion. Fifteen of the 21 patients had aortic stenosis.

Use of closely coupled receiver coils in MR imaging: practical aspects.

The use of closely coupled receiver coils in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the brain and body is described. Design considerations are outlined, aspects of the choice of materials are discussed, and clinical applications are illustrated. Closely coupled receiver coils can provide a useful improvement in MR image quality.

Evaluation of a FLAIR sequence designed to reduce CSF and blood flow artifacts by use of k-space reordered by inversion time at each slice position (KRISP) in high grade gliomas of the brain.

The objective of this study was to compare conventional and KRISP (k-space reordered by inversion time at each slice position) fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences in high grade gliomas for artifact control, conspicuity of intracranial structures, and lesions as well as sensitivity to contrast enhancement. Artifacts were lower with the KRISP FLAIR sequence, and the conspicuity of all assessed structures and lesions was better. The degree of contrast enhancement was similar with T1-weighted and KRISP FLAIR sequences.
