Tonsillolith : a report of three clinical cases
2007
Tonsillolith is a rare dystrophic calcification as a result of chronic inflammation of the tonsils. Three asymptomatic cases of tonsillolith are reported, incidentally discovered through panoramic radiographs, which showed different sizes of radiopaque images, varying from 2 to 5mm; cases I and III images did not overlap the mandible ramus, which led to a probable diagnosis of soft tissue calcification. Case II had radiopaque unilateral images, with osseous tissue density, overlapping the mandibular ramus, leading to a benign intra-osseous lesion, which was considered as differential diagnosis. No symptoms were reported in any case. Only case I had clinical characteristics, showing highly c…
HIPPOCAMPAL REVERSIBLE LESIONS IN A CASE OF TRANSIENT GLOBAL AMNESIA
2013
PURPOSE: We present a case of transient global amnesia (TGA) onset in a 52-year-old male with a medical history of migraine. METHODS: Patient was taken to ER by his colleagues which reported that after an emotional stress he suddenly appeared perplexed and started asking repetitive questions. In ER a neurological examination excluded other neurological signs or symptoms and it was confirmed that cognitive impairment was limited to the amnesia domain; electroencephalography was unremarkable and he had no history of epileptic seizures or head trauma. At the neurologic examination Capland and Hodges criteria were fulfilled and the diagnostic hypothesis of TGA was placed. He underwent to a brai…
On the effects of transmit power control on the energy consumption of WiFi network cards
2009
Transmit power control has been largely proposed as a solution to improve the performance of packet radio systems in terms of increased throughput, spatial reuse and battery lifetime for mobile terminals. However, the benefits of transmit power control schemes on these different performance figures may strongly depend on the employed PHY technology and channel access mechanism. In this paper, we focus on the effects of power control on the energy consumption of WiFi network cards. By means of several experimental tests carried out under different operation conditions and modulation schemes, we try to justify why the reduction of the transmission power has a marginal effect on the overall en…
Influencia del tratamiento radiológico locorregional pretrasplante en la evolución de los pacientes trasplantados por cirrosis hepática con carcinoma…
2015
El carcinoma hepatocelular (CHC) es el tumor maligno hepático primario más frecuente y representa la tercera causa de cáncer en el mundo. Su incidencia está aumentando considerablemente en las últimas décadas1. Este tumor se desarrolla habitualmente sobre hígados cirróticos y la resección quirúrgica sólo es posible en menos del 30% de los casos2. El trasplante hepático (TH) es el único tratamiento potencialmente curativo y su realización en pacientes con carcinoma hepatocelular que cumplen criterios de Milán3 está plenamente aceptado4, avalado por sus buenos resultados a largo plazo5,6. Cuando se cumplen estos criterios, la tasa de supervivencia a los 5 años después del trasplante es del 70…
Correlazioni tra reperti radiologici ed anatomici in un caso di grave traumatismo cranico

Images - Computed tomography urographic appearance of traumatic rupture of renal cyst into the pyelocaliceal system.
2019
Spontaneous or traumatic rupture of renal cysts, documented by radiological imaging, occurs infrequently. The pathogenesis of a cyst rupture is still unclear, except when it has occurred following trauma or when the cyst has become infected. Imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnosis, management, surveillance, and choice of lesions that need treatment.
An Automatic Method for Assessing Spiking of Tibial Tubercles Associated with Knee Osteoarthritis
2022
Efficient and scalable early diagnostic methods for knee osteoarthritis are desired due to the disease’s prevalence. The current automatic methods for detecting osteoarthritis using plain radiographs struggle to identify the subjects with early-stage disease. Tibial spiking has been hypothesized as a feature of early knee osteoarthritis. Previous research has demonstrated an association between knee osteoarthritis and tibial spiking, but the connection to the early-stage disease has not been investigated. We study tibial spiking as a feature of early knee osteoarthritis. Additionally, we develop a deep learning based model for detecting tibial spiking from plain radiographs. We collected an…

Chirurgia trans-cranica mediante ultrasuoni focalizzati ad alta intensità su guida RM (trans-cranial MRI-guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery, tcMRgFUS)…
2016
Scopo del Lavoro Presentiamo i risultati preliminari ottenuti con la prima istallazione italiana di un’apparecchiatura tcMRgFUS (prima ed unica apparecchiatura al mondo installata su uno scanner RM da 1,5T) per trattamenti di neurochirurgia funzionale in pazienti con tremore essenziale, Parkinson idiopatico unilaterale prevalentemente tremorigeno e dolore neuropatico. Materiali e Metodi Sono stati arruolati pazienti con disordini neurologici resistenti a terapia medica. I pazienti eleggibili sono stati sottoposti ad esame TC ed RM di screening per escludere controindicazioni al trattamento. I trattamenti tcMRgFUS sono stati eseguiti da un gruppo multidisciplinare ottimizzando i parametri di…
Terapia trans-cranica ad ultrasuoni focalizzati guidati da Risonanza Magnetica: studio retrospettivo di semeiotica neuroradiologica intra-operatoria
2019
SCOPO DEL LAVORO: Valutare retrospettivamente le caratteristiche di semeiotica neuroradiologica delle lesioni indotte in pazienti sottoposti a talamotomia unilaterale del nucleo Vim mediante l’utilizzo di un sistema trans-cranico ad ultrasuoni focalizzati guidati da RM (tcMRgFUS). MATERIALI E METODI: Cinquanta pazienti sono stati sottoposti a talamotomia mediante tcMRgFUS per tremore essenziale refrattario a terapia medica (n = 39) o per tremore in malattia di Parkinson (n = 11). Esaminando sequenze FRFSE T2-pesate (2mm, no gap) acquisite sia intra-operatoriamente che nel successivo follow-up RM a 48h, è stata valutata la presenza e le dimensioni delle aree lesionali concentriche precedente…
