Can demyelination lesion volume be accurately determined in the following cervical MRI sequences?

By

Hi, I am a neurology intern getting started in multiple sclerosis research and for a beginner like me MRI is quite though matter and still learning a lot. Our centre scans the cervical spine in MS according to the following protocol for their regulair clinical MRI's:
- Sagittal T2 TSE (FoV 200*200, matrix 256x320), slice 3mm and distance 3.3mm
- Sagittal T1 TSE (FoV 200*200, matrix 224x320), slice 3mm and distance 3.3mm
- Sagittal STIR (FoV 200*200, matrix 240x320), slice 3mm and distance 3.3mm
- Axial T2-MEDIC (FoV 180*180, matrix 426x512), slice 3mm and distance 3.3mm

I wondered if these sequences can be used to determine (with reasonable accuracy) MS lesion volume for the cervical spinal cord? Or is the gap (since that slice thickness is 3mm and distance 3.3) a problem for these? Or do the sequences even need to be isotropic in order to determine volumetric information?

Thank you in advance for your insights!

Onetonline salary search change?

By
Did this change? I am having a hard time finding the same lists I saw 2 months ago. https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/29-2034.00#AdditionalInformation https://www.onetonline.org/link/localwages/29-2034.00?st=OR&p=hourly I used to be able to see wage by area and sort it by state and see the differences per state and per city in every state. I can't seem to find this same list anymore. I can see a bell curve but I can't sort by state or wage or anything.

Question regarding ultrasound

By
Hello radiologists, I have a quick question regarding ultrasounds of the scrotum. (Not asking for medical advice just wondering about something). I’ve done an ultrasound of the scrotum and the radiologist only took pictures of the right side of the testicle and then the left side but not in between so my question is, do ultrasounds show all “angles” of a testicle or does the device need to be held at various areas to show a full testicle? Because if only one side of the testicle is seen then wouldn’t the other side be as important in diagnosing something? Thanks! submitted by /u/doomyboomy [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/oi2nmk/question_regarding_ultrasound/
