Dural and Leptomeningeal Spine Metastases of Breast Cancer
Matos, F; Cerqueira, LWe present a case of a 57-year-old female diagnosed with invasive ductal breast cancer, which was treated and in remission for 12 years. In 2018 she presented a progressive dorsal back pain, which prevented her from performing basic tasks. An MR study was performed and revealed the presence of an extramedullary metastatic sleeve located in the thoracic intradural space. Concomitant multiple small nodular foci w...
Reconstruction of White Matter Fibre Tracts Using Diffusion Kurtosis Tensor Ima...
Leote, J; Nunes, R; Cerqueira, L; Loução, R; Ferreira, HTractography studies for pre-surgical planning of primary brain tumors is typically done using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), which cannot resolve crossing, kissing or highly angulated fibres. Tractography based on the estimation of the diffusion kurtosis (DK) tensor was recently demonstrated to enable tackling these limitations. However, its use in the clinical context at low 1.5T field has not yet been repor...

Angiography in the diagnosis of cerebrovascular pathology. Current indications ...
Manaças, R; Cerqueira, LThe role of cerebral angiography in the diagnosis of cerebrovascular disease is currently being questioned due to both the increasing availability of carotid sonography and the recent introduction of Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA). After a technical foreword about the different modalities available today in Cerebral Angiography, we discuss its present indications (Conventional or Digital subtraction by in...
