HCC shows similar CT/MRI pattern in cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic livers. Non-invasive diagnostic criteria for HCC should also be extended to non-cirrhotic livers. No differences were found between α-fetoprotein levels in non-cirrhotic and cirrhotic patients.
MRgFUS can be feasible and safe in selected patients with solid tumors in abdominal moving organs. However, this technique has several limitations due to the interposition of the rib cage or intestinal loops into the path of the ultrasonic beam, as well as to organ motion. Future technical developments are needed to implement advanced motion detection within the system to control organ and lesion position in real-time and keep the focus of the ultrasound beam on the targeted lesion.
We report two cases of peroneal nerve compression caused by an intraneural synovial cyst and discuss the pathogenesis. clinical and electrophysiological diagnosis, and treatment of these uncommon lesions in the light of the salient published work on the subject.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
