Disseminated intravascular coagulation is most frequently associated with obstetric catastrophes, metastatic malignancy, massive trauma and bacterial sepsis, but relatively rarely related to benign tumors. We report on disseminated intravas…
PURPOSE: To assess contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) angiographic findings of uterine arteries (UAs) and to evaluate the diagnostic utility of this imaging modality for the prediction of ovarian artery (OA) embolization (OAE). MATE…
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of uterine artery embolization (UAE) for treating symptomatic fibroids with high signal intensity (SI) on magnetic resonance (MR) T2-weighted imaging (T2WI).Materials and methodsA total of 537 cases, c…
There are several reports of adenocarcinoma developing within adenomyosis of the uterus, but imaging features of MRI, including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and positron emission tomography (PET)-CT, have not been published. Herein we r…
