Abstract:
A 58-year-old female with a non-resectable ventricular cancer was followed by conventional 3.0 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pelvis and abdomen including diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI). B-values were 0 and 1,000 seconds/mm2, and the apparent diffusion coefficient was calculated. At one control, ovarian metastases were detected by DWI, but did not show on conventional T2 and T1. The ovarian metastases were surgically removed and histologically verified - even though metastasectomy is controversial. In conclusion, DWI at 3.0 T is feasible and can improve the detection of metastatic disease compared with conventional MRI.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
