Evaluation of renal function by dynamic MR imaging: effect of water load. (2007)

Murakami, Kiminori, Togami, Izumi, Hiraki, Yoshio

The aim of this study was to investigate the usefulness of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the evaluation of renal function, with particular attention to the effects of water load. Ten healthy...

Hyperthermotherapy for postoperative local recurrences of rectal cancer. (2007)

Kuroda, Masahiro, Hizuta, Akio, Iwagaki, Hiromi, Makihata, Eiichi, Asaumi, Junichi, Nishikawa, Koji, ...

Between November 1984 and August 1992 we used hyperthermotherapy in six cases of local recurrence of rectal cancer. Hyperthermotherapy was performed on the average 8.7 times (range: 3-18) for each...

Hyperthermotherapy added to the multidisciplinary therapy for penile cancer. (2007)

Kuroda, Masahiro, Tsushima, Tomoyasu, Nasu, Yasutomo, Asaumi, Junichi, Nishikawa, Koji, Gao, Xian Shu, ...

We performed a long-term follow-up of 4 patients with penile cancer who underwent hyperthermotherapy from August 1985 until August 1992. Hyperthermia was applied using a frequency of 350 MHz with a...

MR imaging of renal cell carcinoma: associations among signal intensity, tumor enhancement, and pathologic findings. (2006)

Yabuki, Takayuki, Togami, Izumi, Kitagawa, Takahiro, Sasai, Nobuya, Tsushima, Tomoyasu, Shirasaki, Yoshinori, ...

The purpose of this study was to compare the MR characteristics of renal cell carcinomas against histologic findings and to assess the correlations among signal intensity, tumor enhancement, and...

Differential diagnosis of adrenal masses by chemical shift and dynamic gadolinium enhanced MR imaging. (2006)

Sasai, Nobuya, Togami, Izumi, Tsunoda, Masatoshi, Sei, Tetsuro, Akaki, Shiro, Hiraki, Yoshio

Chemical shift MRI is widely used for identifying adenomas, but it is not a perfect method. We determined whether combined dynamic MRI methods can lead to improved diagnostic accuracy. Fifty-seven...

Kinematic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the normal shoulder: assessment of the shapes and signals of the superior and inferior labra with abductive movement using an open-type imager. (2006)

Togami, Izumi, Sasai, Nobuya, Tsunoda, Masatoshi, Sei, Tetsuro, Yabuki, Takayuki, Kitagawa, Takahiro, ...

A preliminary study was conducted to evaluate the superior and inferior glenoid labra with abductive movement using an open-type MR unit in asymptomatic healthy volunteers. Both fast low angle shot...

Experimental study of fast and ultrafast T2-weighted imaging sequences using AMI-25 superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO). (2006)

Kurokawa, Hironori, Togami, Izumi, Tsunoda, Masatoshi, Hikari, Yoshio

The objective of this study was to evaluate fast and ultrafast T2-weighted images (T2WI), including echo planar imaging (EPI), using an AMI-25 agar phantom. Image quality for conventional spin echo...

A new experimental system for irradiating tumors in mice using a linear accelerator under specific pathogen-free conditions. (2006)

Kuroda, Masahiro, Inamura, Keiji, Tahara, Seiji, Kurabayashi, Yuzuru, Akagi, Tadaatsu, Asaumi, Junichi, ...

We developed a reliable system for the irradiation of xenografted tumors in mice which allows for accurate local irradiation under specific pathogen-free conditions. The system presented here...
