Side Effects of High-dose Radioactive Iodine for Ablation or Treatment of Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma

SM Chow

Hong Kong J Radiol 2005;8:127-35

Iodine-131 or radioactive iodine benefits patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma by treating recurrences and in reducing relapses after operation. Postoperative ablation of thyroid remnants facilitates follow-up by serial monitoring of serum thyroglobulin. The clinical benefits of reducing recurrences are well

Magnetic Resonance Pattern Recognition in White Matter Disorders

J Valk

Hong Kong J Radiol 2005;8:136-40

Magnetic resonance pattern recognition constitutes a ‘conceptual’ approach to radiological assessment, in which all of the radiological and other clinical features present are considered in combination. Systematic analysis of magnetic resonance images improves the specificity of the modality as

CASE REPORTS

Recurrent Pineoblastoma Responsive to Chemotherapy

P Kulshrestha, P Aggrawal, S Kumar, S Arora, K Singh, AK Bahadur, AK Rathi, PK Mohanta

Hong Kong J Radiol 2005;8:175-8

Pineoblastomas are malignant embryonal tumours that are classified as suprasellar primitive neuroectodermal tumours. Incidence of pineoblastoma is approximately 0.1% to 0.3% of histogically verified primary malignant brain tumours. This case report concerns a 19-year-old male with a mass lesion in

Intracranial Chondrosarcoma

S Arora, PK Mohanta, AK Bahadur, AK Rathi, P Anand, P Agrawal
