Abstract

We report a rare case of intrasellar epidermoid cyst. A 61-year-old man presented with complaints of the disturbance of consciousness and general fatigability. His laboratory data showed panhypopituitarism and MRI revealed the cystic tumor located at the intrasellar region. Tumor was removed by transsphenoidal approach and histological examination of the surgical specimen showed that the cyst wall was composed of the stratified squamous epithelium with keratohyaline granules.

A penalized likelihood approach to magnetic resonance image reconstruction.

Currently, images acquired via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technology are reconstructed using the discrete inverse Fourier transform. While computationally convenient, this approach is not able to filter out noise. This is a serious limitation because the amount of noise in MRI and fMRI can be substantial. In this paper, we propose an alternative approach to reconstruction, based on penalized likelihood methodology. In particular, we focus on non-linear shrinkage estimators and show that this approach achieves a great reduction in integrated mean squared error (IMSE) of the estimated image with respect to the currently used estimator. This approach is extremely fast and easy to implement computationally. In addition, it can be combined with various alternative approaches to MR image reconstruction and can be easily adapted to other, non-MRI contexts, in which the observed data and the quantities of interest are related via a linear transform.
