Amide Proton Transfer weighted imaging reveals a rolandic tumor in a pediatric patient
A 37-year-old non-menopausal patient, no personal or family history of mammary or ovarian neoplasia, referred for assessment of an ACR5 mass of the LIQ of the right breast associated with suspected right axillary node (hypermetabolic PET positive lesions). The patient also has a mass type ACR 4b of LIQ of the left breast.
19-year-old male, severe head trauma after a motorcycle accident occurred 2 days before. Brain computerized tomography scans (CT) revealed a hemorrhagic lesion in the brainstem. Damage from traumatic brain injury can be focal or diffuse. Diffuse trauma to the brain is frequently associated with concussion, diffuse axonal injury.
61-year-old man with clinical history of prostate cancer (pT2N0. Gleason 3+4 and PSA [Prostate Specific Antigen] 9 ng/ml) was treated with brachytherapy (BT) eight years ago. Two years later from initial treatment, PSA value was 0,39 ng/ml. Actually, the patient presents high serum PSA level: 3,49 ng/ml. A PET-CT choline suggests local recurrence. An MRI is performed using conventional sequences, diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE).
46 year-old man, non smoker, with a right parotid mass detected several months ago. The mass is solid but mobile, the patient shows no weight loss, nor pain or facial paralysis. An MRI is performed using conventional sequences, diff usion weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE).
A 69-year-old male patient with a metastatic pancreatic cancer was included in a phase 1 study. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs) are highly metastatic with poor prognosis, mainly due to delayed detection (Ref. 1). An MRI was performed before and after treatment, including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with 6 b-values (0, 50, 200, 400, 600 and 800 s/ mm2).
60-year-old man, self-examination of a mass in the posterior right thigh. Referred to pre-surgery examination.
67-year-old man with a history of recurrent superficial bladder tumor. Treatment by bladder instillations of BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guerin) was started. Six months after the last instillation (the sixth), a rise in PSA level from 3 to 6 ng was noticed, confirmed by a repeat testing. Digital rectal examination showed a prostate firmness, predominantly on the right lobe. A prostate MRI was indicated.
A 38-year-old woman presented with rapidly worsening, painless monocular vision loss of her left eye, which began six months prior to the encounter. The clinical exam revealed a visual acuity of 1.4/10 and a central scotoma in the left eye. Oculomotricity was normal. An MRI was performed.
Multiparametric MRI in brain tumours is an invaluable methodology for obtaining in-depth information for the structural and functional tissue features guiding the differential diagnosis and assisting the tumour staging.
Gliomas are the most common primary cerebral neoplasms. The grading of gliomas is of utmost clinical importance as it determines the correct therapy. More aggressive treatment planning is required for the management of high-grade tumors. The purpose of this case report is to illustrate the possible predictors which might discriminate between low-and-high grade gliomas using dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) perfusion in the follow-up of treated low grade gliomas.
A 73yo woman presented with acute onset left hemiparesis with confusion and imbalance. BP was 188 – 88mmHg and medical history showed diabetes. Upon arrival, GCS eye subscore was 3, GCS verbal sub-score was 4 and GCS motor subscore was 4.; EEG was abnormal due to an underlying structural lesion in the right fronto-temporal region.
A 64yo man with an important history of smoking presented a sudden onset of right hemiparesis and global aphasia while watching TV with his wife. The patient was taken to an the hospital and received a CT head negative for a bleed.
34-year old female with neurofi bromatosis and Moya Moya intracerebral arterial occlusive disease. Perfusion imaging was performed with 6 ml Gadavist at 4 ml/sec. MRA shows occlusion of the right PCA and left A1 segment as well as a long segmentsignificant stenosis of the right supraclinoid ICA.
An 82 year-old man with a history of hypercholesterolemia, experienced Broca’s aphasia and right hemineglect with hemihypoesthesia when waking up at 5:30 am. Upon arrival at the hospital, his BP was 200 - 100 mmHg with an NIHSS score of 7. The ECG showed a QS complex from V1 to V5 with no chest pain. MRI was performed 4.3 hours after waking up. FLAIR and T2* images were normal. CBV was increased inside the area of decreased CBF (autoregulation).
A 45yo woman presented a sudden left hemiparesis with dysarthria. BP was 150 – 85 mmHg and medical history showed no vascular risk factor. Upon arrival, the NIHSS score was 6 and the ECG was normal.
The patient was a 42-year-old previously healthy man who was last seen normal at 10pm upon going to sleep. He complained of some nonspecific neck and jaw pain that night. The following morning, the patient’s wife was unable to encourage the patient out of bed.
This patient is a 54yo African American man with a significant medical history of hypertension, diabetes (non-compliant with medical care), renal failure (GFR 30), obesity, and hepatitis A and C who was found lying on his couch with dense left hemiparesis and dysarthria.
A 15-year-old boy presented with headache for 1 month and vomiting in the morning for a few weeks. On neurological examination, bilateral papiloedema, bilateral paresis of the 6th cranial nerve and hemianopia were found.
A 51-year-old woman with a history of LED and thyroid insufficiency, complained of continuous headache and chronic fatigue. An MRI examination in an outside hospital was performed. She then was referred to a neuro-oncologist.
This is an interesting case report demonstrating the usefulness of perfusion-weighted MRI maps for the characterization of multiple intracranial masses in a patient presenting with cerebral lymphoma.
This is an interesting example of how leakage correction works. The final diagnosis, pilocytic astrocytoma, is fairly straight forward. These tumors are usually described as having low cerebral blood volume, a misconception caused by the rupture of the blood brain barrier and the leakage of contrast in the interstitial medium. When corrected for agent contrast leakage the real CBV value is much higher than the uncorrected one.
An 84-year-old woman who woke up with left sided weakness. The last well-known time was 21:00 the night before. The admission NIHSS was 7.
This case report shows the potential added value of Amide Proton Transfer (APT) contrast in the discrimination between radio-induced toxicity lesions and tumor progression in brain metastatic disease.
Multiparametric MRI in brain tumours is an invaluable methodology for obtaining in-depth information for the structural and functional tissue features guiding the differential diagnosis and assisting the tumour staging. Each MRI parametric maps provides crucial information for the different histomolecular tumour substrates, whereas the ‘tier-like’ interpretation of the combined structural-functional outputs helps the radiologist to reach an accurate diagnosis.
This case report shows the possibility to provide earlier accurate diagnosis through Amide Proton Transfer weighted after fluid suppression (F.S. APTw).
The patient was a 40-year-old left-handed woman presenting symptoms of epilepsy. After awaking with a left brachio-facial deficit she went to emergency care experiencinq discomfort and tingling on the left side of her body. These symptoms were not new for the patient (multiple recurring events in the past) but this was the first time she had reported it to a doctor. The patient was not under any specific medical treatment prior to arrival.
27-year-old male, presenting with paresthesia of the right part of his body in the past 2 weeks and persistent headache from the last year. No other neurological findings were presented. An MRI is performed using conventional sequences, diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), MR spectroscopy and dynamic contrast enhancement DCE (T1w) and DSC (T2*w).
A 56-year-old woman with a single brain metastasis of a HER2-positive breast cancer was treated with complete resection and Gamma Knife (GK) stereotactic radiotherapy of the surgical cavity. Three months after the GK procedure the patient was admitted to the hospital for seizures.
The young patient presented a first hyperthermic convulsive seizure. One month later, he presented another tonic-clonic episode with left hemicorporeal seizure lasting less than 5 minutes. Another month later, he had a tonic-clonic seizure again, without fever but complicated by status epilepticus. Afterwards, a CT scan showed a right parietal lesion, and he was transferred to the Necker- Enfants Malades hospital for a brain and spinal-cord MRI. The spinal-cord MRI did not reveal any metastases.
