OBJECTIVE. To retrospectively evaluate interobserver agreement for 4 manually determined linear hepatic measurements on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and correlation of these linear measurements with hepatic volume.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. Hepatic linear measurements: midhepatic point craniocaudad (MHP CC), maximum CC to liver tip (Max CC), maximum transverse and MHP anteroposterior (AP) dimensions were performed on 116 patients without liver disease who had 1.5 T MR imaging of the abdomen.Linear measurements: MHP CC, Max CC, maximum transverse, MHP AP dimensions and products of CC with MHP AP dimension were correlated with hepatic volumes. Correlation analysis (Pearson product moment correlation), Student t …

Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is an effective treatment for symptomaticuterine fibroids. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is typically employed to evaluate the uterus following UAE for fibroid infarction, size, location change, persistent enhancement, changes in adenomyosis and uterine necrosis. Variable pattern of calcification on computed tomography (CT) can differentiate embolic particles and fibroid involution. CT following UAE may be requested because of acute pelvic pain or chest discomfort or pyrexia and/or for complications that may require treatment in acute phase. Visualization of gas in uterus and uterine vessels following UAE is an expected finding that should not be misinterpreted as a …
