    Notes: Abstract Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the magnetic resonance (MR) features of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Methods: MR imaging studies of seven cases of pathologically proven intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma were retrospectively reviewed. Results: On MR images the tumors presented as a single mass (N = 5) or multiple nodules (N = 2), as welldelineated (N = 5) or ill-defined (N = 2), and as non-encapsulated (N = 7). Mean tumor diameter ranged from 6–14 cm (mean, 10 cm). On T1-weighted (TR/TE = 400–600/10–17 msec) images, the tumors were hypointense compared to the liver. The five tumors studied with dynamic MR imaging showed progressive centripetal filling-in after intravenous administration of a gadolinium chelate. On T2-weighted (TR/TE = 2000–2500/80–100 msec) images, all tumors were hyperintense compared to the liver; five were markedly hyperintense and two moderately hyperintense. Vascular encasement, bile duct dilatation within the tumor, and central scar were depicted on MR images in four, three, and two tumors respectively. Conclusion: The typical MR appearance of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is a large well-delineated nonencapsulated tumor associated with intrahepatic venous encasement.

    MRI of Budd-Chiari syndrome (1994)

    Notes: Abstract A retrospective study was undertaken to reassess the various magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS). MRI examinations of 22 patients with pathologically confirmed BCS were studied. Spin-echo (SE) T1- (TR = 300–450 ms/TE = 12–15 ms), and SE T2-weighted (TR = 1600–2000 ms/TE = 30–60/90–120 ms) MRI images were obtained in all patients. Gradient-recalled-echo (GRE) images (TR = 7–60 ms/TE = 3–19 ms, flip angle = 10–40°) were obtained in 14 patients. MRI showed thrombosis of three or two hepatic veins in 19 (86%) and 3 (14%) patients, respectively. Spontaneous intrahepatic anastomoses was depicted in five (23%) patients. Ascites appeared in 15 patients (68%). Thrombosis or external compression of the inferior vena cava (IVC) by an enlarged caudate lobe was depicted in six (27%) and five (23%) patients, respectively. Prominent azygos and hemiazygos veins were demonstrated in seven (32%) patients (six of whom had thrombosis of the IVC). MRI showed hepatomegaly in all patients and enlarged caudate lobe in 18 (82%) patients. SE T1- and SE T2-weighted MRI images revealed inhomogeneous signal intensity of hepatic parenchyma in 14 (64%) patients. SE T1- and SE T2-weighted MRI images showed homogeneous signal intensity of hepatic parenchyma in eight (36%) patients. Our results demonstrate that BCS displays various features on MRI images, and such information is important for diagnosis.

    Spontaneous intracerebral hematomas from vascular causes (1991)

    Notes: Summary The aim of the present study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of CT in determining the underlying causes of brain hematomas with a state-of-the art CT. For this purpose, CT and angiographic data of 149 subjects with spontaneous intracerebral hematomas (ICH) were statistically compared in a blind, retrospective study, taking angiography, supported when possible by surgical findings, as providing the correct diagnoses. 5 groups were distinguished on the basis of CT data: 103 patients with isolated deep ICH had normal angiograms; 9 patients with isolated superficial ICH and 8 with deep ICH and intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) had arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). 4 with this combination showed no angiographic abnormalities, one had an aneurysm. 14 subjects with ICH and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) had a middle cerebral or carotid artery aneurysm; and 10 with ICH, SAH and IVH had also an aneurysm, in 7 on the anterior communicating artery. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values were respectively: for AVMs 100, 96, 77 and 100%; and for aneurysms 96, 100, 100 and 99%. Kendall coefficient was 0.95, indicating close correlation between the two modalities. This study confirms that CT can accurately predict the likelihood, nature and location of vascular ICHs. It indicates whether angiography is necessary or not, and if so, what vascular tree ought to be explored.
