概括
肝脑病可以导致罕见的脑干MRI信号变化. 这些变化,特别是在大脑干中,可能表明代谢性脑病变,并且可以通过治疗解决,这表明预后有利.
科学领域:
- 神经学 神经学
- 放射学 放射学是一门学科.
- 肝病学 肝病学是一种肝病学.
背景情况:
- 肝发性脑病 (HE) 是肝功能障碍的一个复杂的神经精神疾病并发症.
- 在HE中大脑MRI发现是可变的,没有病理学征兆.
- 在HE中,仅限于大脑干的MRI信号变化很少被报告.
研究的目的:
- 报告一种罕见的肝脏脑病变病例,呈现出单独的脑干MRI信号异常.
- 为了将成像发现与临床表现和治疗反应相关联.
- 讨论大脑干局限性MRI改变在HE的诊断和预后影响.
主要方法:
- 一个75岁妇女的病例介绍,她的意识受损.
- 实验室测试包括氨和肝功能测试.
- 大脑MRI包括FLAIR,DWI和ADC映射.
- 全身CT用于肝脏评估.
- 临床随访和对治疗的反应.
主要成果:
- 核磁共振扫描显示了中脑的扩散,对称的超强度,并对FLAIR,DWI和低ADC值进行了测试.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Introduction:Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, can include a specialized imaging technique of the urinary system known as Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU). This radiation-free technique uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images with the help of a computer. MRU is particularly effective for visualizing fluid-filled structures like the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.Applications of MRI in the Genitourinary SystemKidneys and Ureters: MRI detects tumors, cysts,...
