Fat attenuation lesions of the mediastinum.

Abstract:

:The identification of fat within a focal or diffuse mediastinal lesion significantly narrows the differential diagnosis. In many cases, a specific diagnosis can be suggested on the basis of CT findings. In this article, we illustrate and review the characteristic CT features of common and uncommon fat attenuation lesions of the mediastinum, including focal masses and diffuse abnormalities.

  • A knowledge-based approach to deconvolve the water component in in vivo proton MR spectroscopy.

    abstract:OBJECTIVE:The water component dominates in in vivo proton (1H) spectroscopy. This consists of a prominent central peak with large "wings," and consequently metabolites that lie on the "wings" become difficult to quantitate. A method has been developed to deconvolve the water component in in vivo 1H spectroscopy, hence ...
